Zebra Flower Card

My creating has kinda been on hold.  It is hard to craft on vacation.  I forgot many important things, scissors, paper cutter, and extra adhesive.  I have a ton of ideas, but I wasn't able to do much.  I have a card in mind for tomorrow, if I am able to get it to print out.

I worked on this around the house today.  I used zebra scraps, and black and white scraps. I colored the digital stamp from MelJens with sharpies.  There are black gemstones all around the outside. The card base is from Studio G.

Journey the kitten, fighting me for ribbon.

I finally won the battle and was able to add ribbon to my card.



Dont forget about my blog candy. Go down a few posts. It ends on Sunday.

Chillin with my daddy!


I think this turned out Super Cute.  I did this for a scraplift challenge over at TallyScrapper.  I love how simple it is, but still cute. The letters are my favorite, they were white punch out ones, i dabbed them with green ink, and then dashed them.  i dashed the edges of everything.

Have a great day!  I am soaking it up in the Texas sun right now.

You're Fairy Awesome

sorry about my yellow thumb..lol
I love how this card turned out.  I am doing a card swap on MiniAlbumScraps.  I have to make 6 cards. This is one of them.
I got this super cute digital stamp from MyGrafico, I colored and glittered her.  I used some more paper scraps to make the card. I typed up the Thanks on my computer.  I love how the eyelets turned out.  I put the 4 of them and then threaded the crochet cotton through to hold it all together.



I typed the inside out on the computer and the stars were punched out on a die at Archivers.

Bunny says HI...

Another super adorable card for my swap at Minialbumscraps.  I love how the crochet cotton turned out.  I think it looks so close to the twine.

Again, all my paper was scraps, I really try and use up scraps, so I can use some of my bigger paper on layouts.  The image is from MelJen'sDesigns, and I colored it with my colored pencils.  Hopefully for Christmas I will get some Prismacolors, I am going to ask my Grandma in law.  :)  I added a little Studio G glitter to its tail.  The buttons were the finishing touch.

Hope you are all have a fantastic day!  I am enjoying the day in Oklahoma.

My first fall layout

I am not totally done with this layout.  It still needs a title, but I am not sure what I want to do yet.  I think I am going to put pictures of our first time at the pumpkin patch, but I just don't know what to call it.  It requires some thinking, maybe after I get the pics on it...
Anyway, I used a plain background it came in a pack from Oriental trading.  The mats are from my scrap bin, and the fantastic images are from Faith at Designed2delight.  I went outside comfort area, and used my machine for some stitching.  I have never done it before.  I am not quite sure how I feel about it yet, so I don't know if I will keep doing it on stuff.  I colored the images and glittered them.  I also embossed the mats using a fiskars texture plate and my cuttlebug.

I am entering this at Designed2delight, a challenge at TallyScrappers, andhttp://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/.



Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Candy, candy candy! Who wants some candy?

Hey Everyone,
I am in a fantastic mood, I think it is because my vacation is about to start.  I wanted to do a fun giveaway.  The winners of my last giveaway never even contacted me :(
For this giveaway, I will give away yards of ribbon. Right now I have 17 followers, so the minimum of ribbon I will give away is 17 yards.  When I get back August 27, the number of followers I have will be the amount of ribbon I give away!  Just leave me a comment on this post, and I will pick a winner when I get back.  I have some projects set to auto post and I am going to try for a cute layout or card before I go.  I have some awesome digital stamps I wanna use before I go.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Buttons buttons everywhere


This challenge was so fun.  At TallyScrapper we had to use as many buttons as we could and still have it look good.  I think it i adorable.  I used a studio g card base, covered it in scraps, and then used 32 buttons.  The paper flower is Doodlbug Designs paper.  I punched scalloped circles and then folded them so there was a V at the bottom. I cut another circle for the bottom, put the petals on and a button in the center.

Have a fantastic day!
