Altered Journal for Crafting Family

Hi Everyone,
I have a simple little altered journal for you today. 

 

I used the Little Sprout Collection by Fancy Pants Designs. The stripe and pink and blue polka dots are called Pampered. The red swirl and pink and green dots are on the Babysbreath paper. I these all go together pefectly. I used some paper flowers, a brown gel pen, and pink liquid pearls. Then I just got out my ribbon stash.  I used some scraps for matting all my pattern papers.


I based it off of a sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches.


That's my project for the day. Have a great week.

Are we there Design Team day.

Hi Everyone,
I know my post is late tonight but it was a crazy day. I had physical therapy yesterday and they really were on me about getting better shoes to support my ankle so it will heal. I ran around all morning trying to find shoes. I get home about to finish my project and post it and....
the school calls, my kiddo is sick. She is in 3rd grade and has never been sent home, so I knew it was bad. So I had to cuddle with my baby all afternoon and then go to church. So finally here is my project. :)

I wanted to create a little notebook to keep in the car. We travel a lot to see my in-laws and we drive the same way everytime. We ALWAYS say we need to remember certain spots to eat or to not stop somewhere, but we always forget to write the places down.

so I created this to keep in the car and I can write the state and the place and we will always know where to stop. :) We have 2 trips coming up so it will get lots of use.

I used Graphic 45 paper from the A Proper Gentleman Collection the paper is called The Sophisticate.

The yellow is a scrap and the saying is from a set of stickers I got at Joanns a while back. I added some bling and twine and a button, I used a gel pen for stitching and then ribbon across the top.

I hope you enjoyed my project and have a great night.

Candy Bar Holder

Hi
It's Wednesday, and time for my Crafting Family Dt post.  It was a crazy time with my project. So the first project I made. i hated. It looked like Poo. So I made this candy bar holder, and I think it turned out cute.
So, I go down to the garage to get my camera and lose the project.  I joke with my husband that cancer made me stupid, I can't remember this. I walked downstairs with my project, got distracted, put it down and then when got back upstairs with my camera. Forgot where the project was.  I searched for an hour, gave up went to do laundry and found it on top of the dryer. :D I just laugh at myself sometimes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my crazy story and my project.

 

I used Basic Grey Life of the Party Collection and the paper is called Buckaroo. The mat of the butterfly is Bella Road for the Record Collection Apron Strings Paper, and some scrap black.

I photographed it on yellow to make some of the colors pop.  This paper is so fun and colorful.

 

I will definitely be making more of these. Here are the directions.

Cut the paper 6 x 6. Score at 1/2 inch and 3 1/4. The 1/2 piece folds in to the right and the 3 1/4 side folds to the right to create the ouch. Tape down the 1/2 side and across the bottom. I punched a hole to tie my bow using 1/8 satin ribbon
 

I used an image from MelJens designs and I will be entering this in the anything goes challenge.  Princess Buttercup colored the butterfly with gel pens.

 

Have a fantastic day.

 

Crafting Family day :)

Hi Everyone. It is wednesday :) I have my Crafting Family project today.
It's a cute and easy card for you today. Sometimes you get sucked it and think a plain card doesn't work, but I want to show you cards don't have to have tons of stuff on them to be nice :)

This was a simple card to make. I used American Crafts paper, from the Campy Trails collection and the paper is called Buffalo Lake and it is of course from Crafting Family :) The aqua and brown paper were just scraps. I cut the American Crafts paper into rectangles, and used both sides, the yellow is the back and then sewed them together on my sewing machine.

Attitude is Everything at Crafting Family

Hi Everyone!
Happy 4th of July.

I have a short post for Crafting Family today.

I made a quick little box for you today. When you take off the band it opens like a pizza box. It's perfect for a cookie or some candy.

I used Basic Grey paper for the band, tag, and one of the flowers. It is from the Wander Collection, and it is called turbulence. The flowers are a scalloped circle and I punched it 5 or 6 times and then pushed a brad through it. I then got it slightly wet and scrunched it up to make the flowers.
I eyeballed the tag. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Positive Thoughts.

Enjoy your day.

Thanks

Hi Everyone!
Today is my day to post for Crafting Family.

I so love being on their DT awesome papers and a fabulous company. What more can you ask for?
My project today is also being entered into a few challenges.

At Welch Creations, we needed to use a cricut or SVG cut, and at Sweet Stop Sketches. You guessed it I got the sketch :)  For the Die Cuttin Divas challenge Anything Goes!

  

So the paper is My Mind's Eye, it is the American Made collection and the paper is Stars of Loyalty.  I used both sides of the paper, and some blue cardstock from CF. The other papers were scraps from my bin.   I used a cut from My Scrap Chick for the awareness ribbon.  The thanks is from K Andrew Designs, the set is Winter Wishes.


I did some dashing and it was done.

I hope you have a fabulous day and don't forget to check out the Crafting Family site. :)

DT project for CraftingFamily.com

Hi Everyone ,
I hope you are having a fabulous day.  Today is my day for creating for Crafting Family.  I am working on a really big project for a few weeks from now, so I kept today's project simple.

I made this card...

I got to play with the MME Boy Collection Good Day Sunshine.  The guitar and little cassette tapes are the same piece of paper.  The blue cardstock is also from Crafting Family.


 I tried to copy the ebay pic but it didn't work.
This whole set is on sale on Crafting Family's ebay page.

click here to go check it out.

The green and cream cardstock were from my scrap pile.  I kept it simple because I didn't think my hubby wanted a girly father's day card...lol

The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs, Guy Talk.



I used my cricut and the the gypsy wanderings, and everyday paper dolls.  I little dotting and it was ready to go.  I am going to let Princess Buttercup stamp the inside with whatever sayings she wants, when it is closer to Father's day.
