~Happy Monday!~

Good morning!!!! Can you believe it is the 1st already???!!

Today the Tally Scrapper August Kit I designed comes out!!

It's called Beautiful Soul.

Also there is a fun contest/challenge on Tally called Project Tally Runway

which is why I created this layout....

The challenges are all based on the Project Runway challenges.

How fun is that??! Oh I love it!

I had to create an entire layout using white paper, just like the Project Runway

people had to use a white sheet.

So I spritzed, and played with my Viva Decor Pearl Pens from Tally.

All those silver pearls are made with the Viva Decor pens.

All the flowers I created with my Cricut Imagine I printed them

on white card stock. It is simple, sleek and fun. I just wanted to play

and not get to serious :).

Yesterday we began baseball Fall Ball for the kids...

so I will be back in the trenches. Wednesday we begin school again.

I swear it has been a crazy summer!

Happy Monday everyone!

Send your friends to check out the kit I designed please!!

~Creatively Scrapping & D-STRESS GIVEAWAY RIGHT HERE!~

Good morning my crafty friends!

I am so excited and feeling very creative this week.

I made this layout for the Tally Scrapper Survivor Challenge,

using the March Kit from Tally Scrapper.

I added the Banner and card stock but the rest is the Tally Kit.

The journaling says:
I wish I had known I am Really STRONG and a little crazy when my ex husband

was beating me up. I wonder how my life would have been different if

I knew then what I know now? Hindsight really is 20/20.

Of course I used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and the 3D Combo Pack.

I am pretty much addicted to that stuff!

Did I mention the kit name? "Lucy you got alot of scrappin' to do!" hehe

Makes me smile every time I type it out or say it outloud!

I really love how the challenges on Tally can be as serious or as light as

you want and I am always challenged to create.

My best layouts come from the Survivor challenges! ♡♡♡♡

Ok on to the GIVEAWAY!!!!

How about a brand new D-Stress from Imaginisce?! MY FAVORITE TOOL!

Seriously my most favorite tool of all time!

I am on a couple Design Teams and sometimes I get doubles, well

this is one of those times!

I just did a class with this tool and plan another one in March.

This tool works like a charm and is so easy to use. If you make

mini albums or distress at all....this is the tool for you!!

You don't have to do anything but share

the GIVEAWAY! Or just share my blog.... I love my blog friends.

FOLLOW my blog and leave a comment!

Basically you know how it works, the more followers, the more

companies contact me to giveaway goodies. You make it happen and

I give away everything I get! ♡♡♡♡♡

Next week I will randomly draw a winner!!!!

~♡♥Getting Crafty w/ Recycled Scrap Packaging♥♡~

Good morning my CRAFT FRIENDS! :)

One of the best things I can say about Tally is that it pushes me

to be more creative and look at scrapbooking as an art form not

just paper and glue. Playing in the Survivor is so exciting, it always

pushes me to be more creative and flex those crafty muscles.

This layout is for the Survivor challenge on Tally Scrapper and

there is still time to join if you want to play along!!

The challenge was to use the colors tan/brown and blue

plus a photo with more than 1 person in it and recycled scrapbook

packaging, oh and some staples!

So the entire layout is not on scrap paper but on scrapbook packaging from

a tablet I bought a long time ago! :) I also dug out the Hambly and some

paint for it. It's not super fancy but I love the photo and it makes me happy.

I hand placed all the pearls LOL I think it killed my hands!

Don't forget earlier this week I had a Cricut Cartridge GIVEAWAY!

Be sure to go sign up for a chance to win it!

I am ready for the weekend so bring on today! LOL

~THANK YOU for stopping by I love visitors and read every comment!~

~Happy February 3rd?? Already??!!~

♥ Good morning my crafty friends ♥

Just a quick reminder that we only need maybe 8 more comments

until I GIVEAWAY the Cricut Cartridge on this post!

A couple comments were double but we are almost there!

THIS BLOG POST!

I mentioned yesterday was my husband and my anniversary.

It was a lovely evening and yes I did make him a card...

and yes it was PINK! :)

What can I say? My husband loves PINK, he is the one who

does my hair...how can he not love PINK! :)

It was so cute, he left me a card on the microwave in the morning

and called after he left to make sure I found it...he said "Did you read it?"

"Yes honey I did"...."that's what you get for not going to sleep right away!"

HA! He was waiting for me to fall asleep and I didn't so he just wrote

"Love you very much" hehehe instead of a lengthy note.

But it was a lovely heartfelt card.

He also brought home roses and candy...♥ Awww...l♥ve.

Ok enough of my mooshy stuff....the card was almost all

American Crafts actually...a huge change from my normal right?

I was feeling artsy and wanted to just go with my gut on it.

The only thing not AC was the mist (Clearsnap Smooch), the fuzzy brad

(I think Sass), and the glue (Glue Arts).

Ok I am off to create some more, I made a really FUN

artsy layout yesterday but it's for a special Imaginisce post on the 7th.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

(remember the Gypsy giveaways?)to give away and this is one of them...

A BRAND NEW H20 Cartridge from the Fall collection!!

~Happy GIVEAWAY DAY~
~PINKY~

~Not All Cards Have To Be Folded...Right?! haha~

Good morning my crafty friends!

I missed blogging yesterday because I spent the day

Saturday out with friends and watching Black Swan which

was fantastic! I love horror movies, movies with suspense and movies

with a Hitchcock feel and I was totally wowed! It was a lovely day.

Ok back to crafting right? :)

I made this card using the Love in Paris Tally Scrapper Kit

for February and I love that it has a sheet of acrylic in it!

Everything except the buttons were from the kit....

This is the back for writing.

You know it is RARE that I say I LOVE one of my cards

but I genuinely love this card, it's so funky~

The acrylic is from Clear Scraps of course...and I love the acrylic

from Clear Scraps, it makes me smile ♥

Oh and I used my Glue Arts Perma Tac on the card too.

I was testing it out on the acrylic with paper and it worked perfectly!

I had trouble with other glues burning the acrylic and

also I lost 10 acrylic projects alone last year from yellowing and cracking

but this Perma Tac worked, so I might have to try it some more.

Ok I am off to finish projects and hit the Fed Ex office!!

Have a beautiful Monday everyone!

OHHHH this week I have a Cricut Cartridge GIVEAWAY coming up

so please stay tuned! WOOHOO!!!!!

~Pinky~

~Happy GIVEAWAY DAY!~

Good morning!!!!!

But first.....

This is another one of the amazing NEW products from

Clear Scraps....Scalloped Tri-Fold Frames.

I decided when I get the boys school photos back,

I will add them and send it to Grandma and Grandpa...cute right?

I used the kit from Scraptastic Club...Old School

it's on clearance for 10.00! I love this kit! :)

I also used my handy dandy Extreme Tac Glue from Glue Arts.

♥Ok on to the GIVEAWAY♥

You might know or maybe not, that Clear Scraps promoted me

to the Blog Editor in Chief, which means I get to GIVE stuff

away and organize the blog...♥ it!

EVERY Friday there is a NEW giveaway on the Clear Scraps blog

~Happy Hump Day my friends~

~Pinky~

~Happy Tuesday, More Animal Crackers Fun~

Hey all my scraptastic friends!

Before anything I wanted to share a fun 6X12 layout

I made with the new Animal Crackers line from Imaginisce.

GO check out their blog because they are giving it away all week!

Here is my funky layout, I know it's not circus theme but

I never feel you have to stick with the theme of the paper.

We all had such a great time at Dinosaur World in KY

I thought it would go perfectly with the Animal Crackers line

because to me it represented FUN! :)

Remember that Gypsy I gave away a while ago?

The winner sent me this Martha Stewart Punch and I used it

on this LO for the journaling strips. Thanks Chris~ :)

The entire layout is Animal Crackers, Glue Arts Extreme Glue, Thickers.

If you have not tried the 6X12 size, you should...they are addicting!

I had a great day yesterday with my boys at the 1.50 theater,

we watched MegaMind and they boys had fun♥

Then to end the evening I had ANOTHER pub email!

I cannot tell you how tickled I am! It must be my month!

Then right after that the new Tallyscrapper kit came in the

mail the one I designed for my new position on Tally♥

I am off to make a preview video for the "Love in Paris" Kit

and finish up a couple projects for Cricut :)

See you all tomorrow and don't forget Thursday a new VIDEO tutorial

and more Animal Crackers Fun!

~THANK YOU for stopping by~

~I sit down every night and read comments and bless you~

~Time For A Change!~

Good morning!

Last night I was getting my boys ready for school and thought it was time

for a change! A blog banner change that is!! hehe

Can you believe every single child of mine is actually in school today?

No more sickies in my house!!!!!! *Yea*

So, I love the banner but am still debating on the photograph.

I used Clear Scraps as a base, October Afternoon as base paper, Martha Stewart

punch, Fiskars punch, my Purple Cows Freestyle Mouse to cut the acrylic,

Cosmo Cricket letters, American Crafts Thickers, Imaginisce i-bond and Roly Poly

Posies, Jenni Bowlin butterflies and banner, Bazzill buttons....

my i-rock gems and i-rock, kaiser craft paint...LOL

I think I brought my entire studio out.

I am really happy about the end result...now someone come over and

take pictures for me! LOL

Oh and on a side note...if you are in TN I will be teaching

a class very soon in Mt. Juliet, TN! :)

I will add more details next week, it will be late January♥

Good morning and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is officially 2011 and I feel fresh and anew already.

Today is the new sketch challenge at Imaginisce but guess what?

It's NOT a sketch challenge, it's an ALTERED CHALLENGE!

Guess what else?? I am the lucky girl who gets to bring in the

New Year and the new challenge!!!!!! WOOHOO! I love Imaginisce.

The challenge is to "Find" something to alter, not buy something new.

It's all about recycle and re-use.

So I found this clock I have had for many years....and if you want to see

the original clock and details...guess what? You have to hop on to

the Imaginisce blog to see it all....

You will want to hop over anyways because they are giving away

a HUGE prize package just for hopping today...

So get over there and you could win BIG!!!!!

Once again I want to thank each and every one of you for being a huge

support in 2010. My life changed so much last year and it

was all for the better and honestly, all of you made it happen for me.

Without all your love and support I would not be where I am today.

♥ Happy New Year from the Pink One ♥

~Mitten Weather Altered Fun~

♥Good morning and Happy New Year to all my friends in blog land!♥

Are you ready for the New Year's Eve celebrations tonight?

We have company coming and it will be a casual fun night.

I did sit down yesterday and scrapped a little.

I bought this unusual door hanger from Old Time Pottery

in December with the intention of scrapping it before Christmas

but obviously I got a little busy.

This was painted an ugly checkered green with crazy odd trees

all over the mitten. *I wish I had taken before pics!*

I decided I wanted to use it for the winter on my bedroom door.

I wanted it to be soft and pretty so I could use it all winter not just Christmas.

I used the Imaginisce Enchanted Line, the Roly Poly Posies, my ibond,

the letters are Basic Grey, and also I used the Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive.

I also coated the Mitten Weather in Stickles, then covered them

in the Glossy Accents from Ranger.

Overall I have to say I am pretty happy with it BUT I think I will keep

it in my scrap room instead LOL

Oh and on the sides I used that Smooch Ink...LOVE that stuff.

Ok I am off to go cook!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Come back tomorrow for HUGE PRIZES!

~Thanks for popping by~
