~Pinky's Creative Crafting Frenzy!!~

Good morning my crafty friends!!

I am so excited about creating this week and today is no different!

I have always loved and used Core'dinations papers and they are

such an amazing product I thought I would pull out some projects

I have made recently with "Core" paper and have

my own little Core'dinations Creative Frenzy! hahaha

I made this layout yesterday in a pinch.

I actually had a couple projects ready to blog but they were picked up

by the Cricut magazine so I had to do a rush job for my blog today! haha

On this layout I used the Whitewash Core'dinations paper, one of my favorites!

I love how to core shows when you tear or emboss it.

I also used my new Lori's Garden Imagine Cartridge, it matched perfectly!

I actually use the tablets of Core'dinations because that means I always

have the color I need. Have you tried the "Core" yet??

I stayed with simple elegance on this page. But I am happy with it.

I was totally crafty yesterday and I also made this all occasion card

I haven't decided if I want it to be

my Easter card or my Welcome Spring card?

I used the Whitewash paper first, I put it in my Cricut Imagine and cut the

shape for the card, then and ran it through my Cuttlebug, then I filed off

the dots a little to show the beautiful teal underneath.

Then I took the Core Couture and used my Imagine to cut the shape

slightly larger. I really wanted the BLING around the edges, it was the

perfect touch...to me anyways. :)

After I put the card together I used my I-rock and added gemstones all around.

Then I printed and cut pieces from my Lori's Garden cartridge and I

assembled the die cuts. I am so happy with the results and I love

the detail in the Whitewash papers!

Oh and I have been WAITING to share this project! :)

I had to wait 90 days because it was in a magazine, so here it is! :)

I made this Dinosaur Magnet set for my boys with the Core'dinations

Vintage Collection paper and the Dino Roar papers!

I love how much detail the Vintage paper gave the dinosaurs!!!

I ran it all through my Cricut and use a magnetic backing. My boys

LOVE this project and they still use the magnets!

I cannot believe how many times

I reach for my Core'dinations and never even realize it. I actually found over 35

projects with "Core" on them.

Thats it for me today, I hope you enjoyed my "frenzy" LOL!

I am off to prep for tonight! :)

Thank YOU for popping by to say hi!

Hey, hey it's Tuesday and she is back to scrapping!~

Good morning my friends,

I took yesterday off because my boys are officially
*SICK*, so I spent the day at the Dr.'s office and it
was our last days with hubby's parents.
They left at 7:30am this morning....what am I thinking??
NAP TIME!! LOL

I wanted to share a few pictures of the Aquarium we visited,
the in laws were generous and gave us a MEMBERSHIP
so we can take the boys all year long! It was so fun.
They just loved it and we will be going all year!
I will be sitting down and reading my manual though,
to find the best settings for aquarium shots.
I knew that manual would come in handy some time!
Next time I will be prepared, we plan on going
again in a few weeks, it is only like 1hr 45 min away.
A rare shot of hubby smiling too! :) My men!

Now for scrappy fun!
Remember that Helmar partnered up with Scrap-tastic this month?
This is another layout I made, it's from my little man's 8th
birthday, I snapped this shot while they were blowing up balloons.

I made the "candles" from rolled paper and twine.
I also used that pretty Mist on the background to blend it all.
I love the mist because it really helps to blend the colors.
The Helmar 450 works great for rolling paper!

Have I blabbed on enough today? I think so LOL
I am off to clean, do laundry, take a nap
and have some me and my boy time!

I loved the company and we had a great time, but I
am ready for our normal days again :)

I will be back tomorrow....I have some prizes and fun coming,
just need to get myself organized and ready!

~Thank YOU for popping by~
~Have a great Tuesday~
