Firework Rocket Shaker Card!

Hey there friends, I cannot believe it is already almost

July and half the year is over!

I had so much fun creating with this Creating Made Easy June Kit. 

I used the Card Mini Album and trimmed it out to create this glitter shaker card. 

This kit was a fun time, grab yours!

Happy Hump Day friends!!!!!

This Kid Hero Layout

Happy Monday friends, how about a fun layout with

one of my sweet boys? 

Here is a layout I used a ton of purple on and I hate purple! LOL

It was for SNA in July. 

I used pink Paislee wood alphas from forever ago and some purple inks. 

Plus I spritzed it with a color burst in grape. 

BRAND NEW CHA! Mason Jar Chipboard Album From Clear Scraps!

 It's that time, time for CHA! So who is going? 

I won't be this year but as usual I have several projects scattered in the 

various CHA booths. :) This will be one of them I hope! 

The BRAND NEW just released Mason Jar Chipboard Album

from Clear Scraps! Come on you know you want this one!!!!

I am dying to get my hands on the Clear Scraps Acrylic version!

 On the front I used the Fern Leaf Mascil which is also brand new!

 And inside I used the awesome Utensil Mascil! 

 I painted the tops with shiny gold Krylon paint- apparently I am on 

a Krylon gold paint kick this year LOL 

 This was a fun one and you definitely need to check out all the newest

designs CS has to offer!

Hope you enjoyed my project today- Happy Friday friends! :) 

~DIY Cupcake Stand Fun~

Good morning my friends, 

I have a fun random project today that I just made because I am

in love with this die! My friend Eileen Hull has amazing designs for

Sizzix and when I got my hands on this one I died a little bit! :) 

It is a Cupcake Stand & Pennant set, and I totally used the same stand

die to create this card and used the pennants on the card itself!

I ran the Cream Mat Board through my Sizzix, then did the same thing

with the papers I wanted to use. Then simply adhered the paper

to the Mat Board and assembled!

It was so easy and fun, I am glad I tried it! :) 

 I did not have a cupcake on hand (shocking I know LOL) so I created a 

faux "lace cupcake" instead. 

Here is the card I created using the same stand die. 

I just cut two and viola! 

 Of course I added tons of Liquid Pearls. 

And the stamps are the Avocado Arts - Bold Celebrations stamp set. 

Such a hand set to have on hand. 

 Oh and the paper is a combo of Pink Paislee and My Mind's Eye. 

I love to mix and match patterns.
I also dropped these Matte boards through my 5" Create A Sticker Machine
from Xyron- man it made applying the paper easy! 

Anyways I love the set, cannot wait to make more! Maybe

if I am super ambitious, I will make enough for a party....or maybe I will just

print photos of them and tell them what I was too tired to make LOL

One or the other!!!

Happy Tuesday my friends, and special thanks to Eileen, such a talented designer!

~Polaroid Card! You Are The Best~

Good morning and happy hump day my friends! :) 

I had a fun time yesterday making this card. 

Just for fun! :) Not DT work or anything just fun card making time. 

 I used part of the new Scraptastic Club "Noted" kit and part

of the older "Nostalgic Summer" kit to create this card. 

I also used the fun new stamp set from Pink By Design-

Capture Life set. FUN Polaroid frame right? I stamped it-

then I cut it out and stitched it! I love it! :) 

It felt good to sit down and create for fun yesterday.

I had a nice day shopping with my girlfriend for my son's birthday (shhh

I snuck in some mommy shopping too) LOL 

I have a party to plan for these two boys of mine!

Happy Hump Day!

~Art Canvas: She Understood The Need For Change~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

I was busy creating yesterday and stopped for a bit to make this canvas. 

I don't make many canvases but I was totally inspired by the 

new Clear Scraps Expressions, so I just jumped in and did it. 

I used the Pink Paislee She Art collection and I actually

made a full tutorial which I posted on the Clear Scraps blog

RIGHT HERE 

 Sometimes it's nice to make a canvas to cleanse the heart a little bit. 

I love the words on the die cut package in the She Art package. 

"She understood the need for change" is so true. Life is all about change

and amazing opportunities that change brings. 

You never know what is right around the corner and who might be waiting for you :) 

Now I am off for a BUSY day with Archery, Baseball, work and more!

Happy Thursday my friends!! :) 

~Artsy "Grateful For You" Card~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

I am excited to share an "Artsy" card today I made this week. 

"Grateful For You" is definitely how I feel about my friends

so I thought a fun artsy card would be a great way to show it. 

I used the beautiful Grateful Season Stamp set from Avocado Arts

today is there showcase for the September set. :) 

And the papers are Pink Paislee She-Art.

I found the perfect matching gray ink with Clearsnap Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink. 

I almost want to make a canvas with these now! :) 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the amazing chickitas-

~Bright Sunshiny Day Acrylic Card~

Good morning my friends,

This week Clear Scraps and Pink Paislee are partnering up for some

creative fun, and this is what I ended up making. :)

The Heart Send It Clear Card and the cool Pink Paislee

Prairie Hill collections with touches of the Indigo Blue.

I love the patterns and colors...made me smile the whole time!

I also used the Glitter Liner and Pearl Pen from Viva Decor.

And a lace doily I had one hand from a Tally Scrapper kit a long

time ago, I think it was from Kaiser Craft.

I love the denim look and this is how the card looks

open of you are as confused as I was the first time around LOL

Fun stuff, be sure to stop by the Clear Scraps blog and the Pink Paislee

blog all week long, I am sure they will have prizes too! WOOT!~

Have a wonderful weekend my friends,

I am off to Mt. Juliet to teach a class today.

~Crazy Fun Saturday Full Of Crafting!~

Good morning!!!!!

Saturday....oh Saturday...what did I spend Saturday doing you ask??

Well let me tell ya! haha

My friend Jennifer, who is an amazingly OCD organizational

guru came over and I made her 26 (yes 26) Teacup Bridal Invitations!

Aren't they adorable??!! :)

I used a Cricut cartridge and the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden collection

, I added my own vintage lace, and Momenta gold paper.

I also added pearls...and I LOVE THEM!!!!!!

Jenn knew what she wanted, I just kind of spruced them up

in my own way. I actually had so much fun making them.

Anyways while I handmade these cards, her little cutie pie

son played with my boys and SHE cleaned my craft room!! :)

Actually she helped me get on the way to organization land!

I just need to add shelves and curtain rods for my punches.

It was by far the best trade EVER! LOL Also my friend Melissa

came over and helped and we had a wonderful visit all day.

Aren't these teacup invites tooooooo toooo cute??! Oh I love them!

I made a couple mistakes and the ones I messed up

I used a flower to cover. I wish I had 26 Prima flowers

but I did not so the pearls worked :)

After Jenn left we headed to our friends and had a lively game of

Spades and some awesome White Russians...it was so much fun

I swear the moon must have been full last night, we laughed and

we all just crazy, it has been that kind of week I tell you what! LOL

Here is Andrew....thinking about those cards LOL

I spent one day sick in bed, everyone had sick kids, my teenager missed his bus.

It was time for some fun with friends. Made the whole week worth it!

Plus I got to catch up on Sons Of Anarchy on my sick day...

Happy Sunday my friends. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
