LOVE!

Happy Valentine's Weekend Everyone! So thought I'd share some Valentine projects featuring products I LOVE to craft with.

First up I have a few Valentine's cards I made. I did a print & cut of the Love Robot Girl and Love Robot from Miss Kate Cuttables.

I used the Simply Said stamps from Craftin Desert Divas. 

(I recently won these at their link it up party and LOVE them)

Second project for today has a little bling. I learned how to create with Rhonestones at a Warrior Weekend I recently attended. Kelly my instructor said she got permission from SVG Cuts to use their freebie frame from 11/6/14. 

I said "Oh you must of talked to Leo." Me and SVG Cuts go way back and I will always LOVE every project Mary creates :) 

Here's my blinged out project.

And last but not least here is my "Love Is In The Air" Hot Air Balloon SVG Project Kit from Fleurette Bloom.

Don't you just LOVE it? I even used Hearts A Flutter Digital Paper Pack for the balloon. 

Once again I used the Simply Said stamps from Craftin Desert Divas to accent my banners.

Twine is from Trendy Twine.

Hope you enjoyed my LOVE projects! Have a great weekend!

Max Shadowbox

Hello! It has been awhile since I have blogged! I have a cute shadowbox to share with you today. The little boy's name is MAX and he has a baseball theme room. While I was making it the whole city was wild about baseball - Pittsburgh has not been in the playoffs for many years and the Pirates made it. They have since been knocked out but it was fun and exciting while it lasted.

Ok - on to the shadowbox. I used an 11x14 for this one that I picked up at Joanns.

For the banners I used SVG Cuts - Toil and Trouble SVG Kit. It is a great Halloween Kit ~ Check it out here.

The little baseball bears are from SVG Cuts -Taylor's Team SVG Collection.

I finished off with my the We R Memory Keepers Crop A Dile and some Trendy Twine and buttons.

Hope you liked my Shadowbox today. If you haven't seen the latest SVG Cuts kit ~ Enchanted Autumn SVG Kit ~  check it out here.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and stop back on Friday - 

I recently made a cute SVG and I'm going to share it with you.

Back to School Layout

Hope your weekend is going great. I spent all day Friday and Saturday scrapping at a weekend away. It was so much fun! While I was away I scrapped the Back to School pictures. I used the We R Memory Keepers Albums Made Easy photo sleeves.

This one holds a 2 x 12" strip, 3 - 6 x 4" photos and 2 - 4 x 6" photos. I am totally loving the We R Memory Keepers 12x12 albums - I can fit alot of pages in them and you don't have to mess around with albums with screws. I am loving scrapping in this format.

(((Click on this pic to get a closer look)))

I used some Trendy Twine to accent my page and I am entering this in their challenge. Challenge requires primary colors and BTS. I hand cut around the photo of my boys and they are holding little chalk boards with their grade.

I did the print and cuts on my Cameo - they are from Echo Park’s Paper and Glue digital collection. 

Hope you like my layout ....I have lots more to share with you.

Perfect Gift for Labor Day

Hello and it’s the weekend! Not just any weekend - it’s a long Labor Day Weekend. Do you know someone who is going into labor soon?

Here is an 8" x 8" baby shadowbox I recently made for a coworker:

 

The standout in the shadowbox is the cool View Slide from
SVG Cut’s Bicycle Built For Two SVG Collection.

I took the patterned paper from Echo Park’s Bundle of Joy Collection and cut out elements to place in the slides. I also did some print and cut from the same digi kit and added some Trendy Twine to finish it off.

I just heard Labor Day is the 2nd busiest shopping day of the year behind Black Friday. If you are in the mood to shop stop by SVG Cuts ~ They are having a sale!

Enjoy your weekend!

Mini Back Packs & a Pumpkin

Are your kids back to school? Here are some cute little mini back packs I made for back to school. 

I filled them with some jolly rancher candies. 

They are from the SVG Cuts ~ Back to the Books SVG Kit.

They are about 4" high. I used Echo Park's Paper and Glue and did some fun print and cuts.

Have you seen the latest kit from SVG Cuts? It is called Bedtime Stories SVG Kit.

 I made the pumpkin from the kit and plan on making the awesome castle.

Here is my pumpkin:

It has a little top that comes off. I used We R Memory Keepers Black Widow Papers. They are last year's papers (I'm picking up Bewitched tomorrow!)  I stitched the papers with black thread. I added some twine from Trendy Twine and flair from Paper Play Studios.

If you plan on picking up the kit ~ just click here!

Have a great week!

2nd BTS Teacher Gift

Hi there - hope your weekend is going great so far. Thought I'd share my second Back to School Teacher Gift. Just incase you missed my earlier one go check out my SVG Cuts Design Team Project here.

On this one I used the Echo Park Paper and Glue Digital Kit for the papers. I printed them out on my Epson 1430.

Love how you can play around with the size of the patterns for example I printed the green stripe at 100% then I printed the leaf for my apple at 25% - sorta made my own 12x12 and 6x6 version of the pattern. I also printed the one milk carton on blue paper - like having flexibility with a digital kit.

Here is a look at the full kit - you can grab it here.

I used my Trendy Twine to accent - even added a row of twine right above my bottom strip of letters. As I had my twine out thought that might be a great addition inside my holder - what teacher would not love getting a spool of twine?

Here is a bird's eye view. This uses the following SVG Cuts Kits:

Surf Shack SVG Kit

School Days SVG Kit

Spring Birdhouses SVG Kit

My not-so-crafty coworker saw my earlier post on FB and said - you are one of those Mom’s I used to hate when my son was in school :) - Oh well, hate me!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Trendy Twine

Hi Everyone - Today is my last post as guest designer over at Trendy Twine. I really enjoyed creating projects using their wonderful twine. Those of you who are regulars here (thanks by the way for following my crafty blog) know I create alot of shadow boxes. It all started about 3 years ago when I made one for my coworker. It has spread from there and I've probably made close to a 100 shadow boxes for family and friends. They really do make a perfect gift for a shower.

Here is one I created using Trendy Twine!

Pick up a frame at Joanns or Michaels. (I get the white ones from Joanns)

I start out by taking a peek at the baby registry online - that will give you a good idea of what the color scheme and theme is. Then start cutting your elements. 

Once you have everything cut add foam tape or pieces of foam core under the elements to give it dimension. Afterall it is a shadowbox so make some shadows. I added Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine to my project which was the perfect accent.

You can either hang this in the baby's room or purchase a holder at Joanns to display in the room.

I really enjoyed my time as the May guest designer ~ have a great Friday and long holiday weekend!

Summer Travels

My husband is a teacher and came home this week with a bunch of requests for teachers who are retiring. I always ask about their hobbies and he said his coworker Sharon is really looking forward to traveling. Well thanks to SVG Cuts I had the perfect project to make for her!

This little suitcase is from the latest SVG Cuts Kit ~ Summer Holiday SVG Kit.

It was really easy to put together and makes a perfect little gift holder. 

I used the Congrats from Five Minute Cards SVG Kit. I added some stitching and attached the luggage tag with Trendy Twine.

I also make some quick Thank You Cards for the Scout leaders. This time of the year I make alot of Thank you cards and this one is so easy and fun. It is from SVG Cuts ~ Five Minute Cards SVG Kit. I am loving the Authentique Papers - it is from the Carefree Line. I accented with some Trendy Twine and used by Epiphany Craft tool.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Trendy Twine

Hi There! I have a project to share using the wonderful Trendy Twine. I am the Guest Designer for the month of May. This month's challenge is posted on their  blog {CLICK HERE}.

It's a fun one - use the color kraft and Trendy Twine. Here is my project ~ A Happy Birthday Piece of Cake. I added the twine on my candle and added a bit to the button to accent.

NSD EP Challenge #1

Hey - Hope you had a great National Scrapbooking Day yesterday! I hit the craft room and decided to play along with some challenges over on the Echo Park Blog.

First challenge was to make a Summer Time Card.
I used Echo Park's  Paradise Beach. The sentiment is from a digi kit I picked this past week for One Buck Wednesday called Birthday Boy.

The popsicle card is from the SVG Cuts latest  ~ Fruity Fiesta SVG Kit.

I used the Trendy Twine color of the month ~ Tickled with Teal. I used actual popsicle sticks.

I have another Challenge project to share with you....coming soon!
