~New Class Goodies Acrylic Altered Projects~

Happy Birthday my dear friend Dolores!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning my wonderful friends♡♡♡

We had planned on going camping this weekend but the weather

is so awfully hot we decided to put it off. Man it is HOT....

I don't think I could pack enough water for all 5 of us for 3 days!

Instead I decided to spend the day preparing for my next class on the 24th.

I don't usually teach 2 classes in one month but it's a slow summer,

so we decided to break it up.

We are going to make acrylic hair clips/pins. You can

see this cool badge/pin combo from Imaginisce allow you

to have a hair clip OR a pin! :)

Plus we will make this fun headband!

I think that class will be a hoot, it's my first altered project class!

It's only 15.00 and it is July 24th at 2pm

Just call the Scrap Room in Mt Juliet TN to sign up....

Now back to creating, I am ALMOST done with everything for CHA

then I can focus on fun new goodies!

Happy Friday everyone...have a wonderful weekend!

~BBQ Fun, Bean Picking & WINNER!~

Good morning!!!!

Before I start I wanted to share a couple pictures of the boys picking

beans for the VERY FIRST time yesterday, and it was from our garden.

So exciting, I had to catch a couple pictures.

Gage had never picked beans before and he was enamored.

It was so cool picking our own veggies and eating them for dinner.

What a great experience for the boys! :)

We also collected several zucchini and gave 2/3 of them away.

Ok on to my scrappy fun....

I have always scrapped whatever I wanted and today is no different.

We recently purchased a BBQ and it's a huge step for us...

so grown up! hahaha

Momenta had sent me the paper and those super cool alphas,

so I knew right away what I was going to do with them!

You can find the details on the Momenta blog tomorrow....

Ok on to the winner of the embossing strips....

this month's blog hop will have a prize at the end of...

Samantha Walker/Creative Imaginations Sticker Assortment!

The blog before me???

AJ Otto

I created this sign for my craft room this week.

I used the SW Enchanted Garden fabrics (which I love) and the

Blossoms Collection that matches!

I just wanted to make something fun and whimsical

to hang in my craft room.

Now off to the LAST stop on the blog hop train....

completely forgot the hop, so stay tuned tomorrow and I will draw a winner :)

~Made In The USA Layout~

Good morning my crafty friends from all over~

Are you scrapping those holiday photos yet?

Today I used my McGill Silhouette Star Punch, and the awesome

Momenta Metallic Red Alphas for this Made In The USA layout.

It's funny, I had this layout in my head for 2 weeks before I actually

made it, and it turned out almost exactly as I saw it in my head! :)

I punched several stars, then I misted the page with them all over,

the first one I tried I dumped the stars off immediately, and it totally

dripped and smeared, so I did it again and let it set for 15 minutes to dry.

I even used the spritzed stars and popped them up on the page.

I used ClearSnap Smooch Spritz, it is one of my favorites by far.

Then I took my Imaginisce i-rock and placed the red glam rocks all over.

And the title, when I saw these letters from Momenta, I nearly died!!!!

Not only RED but CRIMPED! WOOHOOOOOO!!

*it's the simple things for me* haha

Sometimes I feel like keeping it simple and clean, I was feeling that

way this week. :) Ok off to create my project for the next class on the 24th.

We are going to do an acrylic project YEA~

Happy Tuesday

~Fun New GIVEAWAY!~

Good morning!! Happy Sunday, it is hot today!

I thought just for fun I would have a GIVEAWAY,

these fun embossing folders from Provocraft, I ordered 2 of them.

One to GIVEAWAY and one for me. :)

Fun right?? They are embossing strips and a little longer than the

average folder size. I think the package is 5X7.

Anyways just leave a comment and on Wednesday I will post a WINNER!

Just a fun pick me up Sunday goody~

~Making Vintage Cards W/ Flower Punches~

♡♡Good morning my crafty friends♡♡

Yesterday I sat down and played with my McGill punches again,

last time I made the Cracked "Faux" Ceramic Rose, this time I

made a Hydrangea flower and used it on a vintage style card.

After punching out the flowers, I hand inked each one (painstaking yes

worth it? YES!) then added a pearl in the center of each one with the

Viva Decor Pearl Pen. You have to use a small foam ball cut in half for

these flower, trust me just get the balls LOL I tried other ways with no success.

I used a Samantha Walker/Unity stamp for the title and the papers are

Core'dinations and Webster's Pages. It was a fun little project, I cannot

wait to sit down and make more flowers! :)

I am off to finish this cake for the baseball party, it is

a double layer HUGE baseball cake, I am trying to make fondant for the

first time, I will let you know how it goes and post pictures tomorrow

if I don't flop!! hahaha

Happy Saturday!

~More Card making Fun With Acrylic~

Good morning my wonderful crafty friends!

What a day yesterday, in the town over the way from us...Franklin, TN

they had major flash flooding. I was glued to the news. Crazy

weather already this year, I am ready for rain for my garden but

not crazy flash flooding! haha :)

I am still playing with those new

Clear Scraps Clearly Accent Embellishments

and the awesome "Sassy Vintage Dreams" July kit from Tally Scrapper.

For this card I used some vintage lace from my friend Gloria,

and I even alcohol inked!!!!

I ran the acrylic through the embossing machine (Cuttlebug) and

then I dropped brown alcohol ink on the cage, and used chalk ink

on the bird. I had to heat set it since I did not have pink Stazon.

Then I added the stickles. It was so much fun to play with.

I am going to request another set of all from Clear Scraps, because

I am sure I have 50 more projects!

Be sure to check out the Tally Scrapper forum too! :)

Wait until you see what I have tomorrow!!!!!

I made more "realistic" looking flowers...not a rose this time but

a Hydrangea...oh la la...LOVES it! I cannot wait to share.

Oh and Clear Scraps has a new giveaway today so go check it out

Clear Scraps Blog

~More CHA Sneak Peeks, Girly Headband Fun!~

Good morning from a hot and sticky TN,

This morning I wanted to share a little bit different project with you.

I took the brand new line of Clear Scraps Clearly Accent Embellishments

embossed them, then spritzed them and heat molded them.

What it created was this wonderful dimensional flower for this

Imaginisce headband! I am going to teach a class on these next month

at the Scrap Room in Mt. Juliet, TN! :) Very exciting!!

Here is a link for the new Flower Embellishments

http://www.clearscraps.com/product_p/csaeflowers.htm

I sent this project in for the Clear Scraps booth, so if you are headed

for CHA this month, stop by and check it out in person!

You might notice I also spritzed the headband to match, I love spritz! :)

Ok now I am off to find a little girl who wants a new headband LOL

I don't think my boys will fancy this project at all!!!!! haha

Have a wonderful Thursday and thank you for stopping by!

~CHA Sneak Peek!!~

Good morning my crafty friends! :)

I have a brand new CHA sneak peek from Clear Scraps today!

I created this layout (and you might just spy it in the Clear Scraps booth this year)

With the Tally Scrapper July kit (which I designed) and the brand new

line from Clear Scraps, which is call Clearly Accent Embellishments~~

The kit is a wonderfully fun kit on Tally Scrapper called

"Sassy Vintage Dreams" and the dress forms are right here on Clear Scraps

The only thing I added myself was the title, and the blue lace ribbon.

I embossed the Clear Scraps Dress Forms, and them inked them,

after that dried I used Stickles on them in the embossed areas.

I love sewing and these acrylic embellishments fit perfectly!

You have to check these goodies out!

Huge congrats on your cover project!!! That's incredibly awesome and so very well deserved. I just recently started using my Cricut (even though I bought it nearly 2 years ago lol!) and would love to see a copy of the magazine.

Your new haircut is fab and I have to tell you this is totally ironic because last night I spent about 2 hours googling "short sassy haircuts" because I have had enough of this long drab (and hot!) hair and want something fun and sassy! :)
