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.

Getting Cricky Favorite Things Hop

Welcome to the Getting Cricky "Favorite Things" Blog Hop   

Each of us on the Design Team, along with some very special guests and friends, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  We have a special surprise for you at the end of the hop, so be sure to visit each blog along the way...  You'll end up at Kristal's blog where you'll get to JOIN the FUN!!  So let's get HOPPING to show you some of our "Favorite Things" about Kristal's stamps!!

If you've hopped along from Larelyn then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Lisa's blog (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

 

This month we were going to use our favorite set. It was soo hard to choose so I picked the first set I ever got which is Winter Wishes. I thought that Santa would be wanting it to snow :) That is why I picked that sentiment.

I used all scraps for my card except the base. I believe all the patterned paper was from Little Yellow Bicycle. The image is a Stampin Up one, but I don't know the set. I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils and blended.  It was based off a sketch from Card Positioning Systems.

 

I will have some Candy but, I am slightly behind and still need to pick last month's winner.  Both prizes will be a grab bag of goodies.

 It is just nuts around my house, but I will pick winners from both hops and announce them Wednesday.

You must leave a comment on this post :)

Didja know?

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS  Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help! K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.  You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: K Andrew Designs:

Simply Sunday Challenge Fall

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I am coming to you with a Fall project for this month's Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge.  This is the last one of the design term.  The new team will be announced on Tuesday. :)


 

I based the design off the sketch at Sweet Stop, and I am also entering it in the Die Cuttin Diva's challenge to use pop dots, twine and 3 buttons.



So I used all scraps for this project.  The leaf is a spellbinders shape that I cut out, on my big kick, and then layered the 3 papers behind it.  I used pop dots to have the top layer pop up, and on all the buttons. I used gel pen to stitch around the leaf.  The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Guy Talk set.  This was my first time ever using a spellbinders die and I really liked it, I think I may have to keep my eye out for cheap sets of them :)
 

I hope you all have a great labor day weekend, make sure to join in the challenge.

End of the year teacher girft

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share the gift we made for my daughter's teacher.  I did something simple, the card was inspired by the challenge at Die CuttinDivas.

 I used the lite cartridge slumber party for the cupcake.  I used scraps from my bing for everything except the base.  The sentiment comes from K Andrew Designs set Food for thought.

Princess Buttercup picked out the cake and frosting. It was  a big hit this morning. Her teacher loved it and said she was going to bake cupcakes this weekend :)
  Next week I will be sharing a few other projects made with this set.

Have a great day everyone!!

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. :)

You blow me away

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share this little card with you today.  I liked this sketch at the Sweet Stop.  I did remove the circle from the sketch because I did too much ruffle and the circle didn't work, so I reworked the design.




So I chose 2 different papers for the card and then some blue ribbon for the ruffle. This is the first time I have made a pinwheel and it turned out so cute. I think next time I would make it a little smaller.

I used K Andrew Designs new stamp set Guy Talk.  I love this set. I have already made a few things with it, and I see so many uses that aren't guy related.
 


Have a great day. :)

Happy Mother's Day

 

Good Morning everyone and Happy Mother's Day. :)

I wanted to share the card I made for my mom this morning. I let Princess Buttercup pick out all the paper and materials and I just put it together.

I used this sketch from Sweet Stop.

Then I used the challenge at Hiding in my Craftroom which was to use scraps.

Everything on this card came from my scrap bin.  So I made my card base, then cut the pink for the mat, and the yellow for accent. I wrapped twine around the yellow and through the buttons. The flowers were from Michaels.  Did some dashing with my gel pen, some stickles and added the sentiment from K Andrew Designs  the set is Crafty Friends.

Have a great day :)
