Some New Mini Scrapbooks

Most of the mini scrapbooks that I have made have been for pets, girls/teens, friendship and travel. So, these next three are just pretty and for a mom, sisters, or family. I am so pleased with how they have come out. They are now in my Etsy Shop. Hope you'll check them out!!

Hey, what happened here????? :/


HAVE A SWEET DAY!!

Just a few things to share

Inspired by another bloggers creation, I made this all chipboard frame. You can insert a picture through the top, I even include a template to cut your picture so its the perfect size. Added K&Co embellishments and paper flower with brad. I will soon be adding this to my etsy shop.


This was a card that I posted on my other blog for a blog tour that OWH was hosting. I created the stamp "Drive by Birthday Wish" for my digi stamp shop and gave it as a freebie for the blog tour.

OWH Blog Tour 2010

Hello and Welcome to the Independence Day Operation Write Home (OWH) Blog Tour 2010!!

OWH has organized this fabulous blog tour and has requested a "Birthday" theme for a card in Red, White and Blue. So, here is my take on the "Birthday" theme!

The Cake and Happy Birthday images are from my digi stamps that I sell on etsy. I also, have another blog called "Sweet Stamping Treats" were I feature my digi line, challenges and giveaways. I am giving a free digi stamp to those that leave a comment telling me what is their favorite card to make and follow my blog.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

ENJOY YOUR 4TH OF JULY!!!

AND BE SAFE!!!

Tweet Welcome Sign

Hello, this tweet Welcome sign is made from a chipboard house shape, My Mind's Eye patterned paper called "Ooh LaLa for Him" and chipboard label which I stamped "Welcome" on. I made the paper flowers, stamped the bird and leaves from a Hampton Arts clear stamps. Inked the edges with "Grey Flannel" CTMH ink. Added the cream satin ribbon for a hanger and added the tiny rhinestones to the label. This decorative sign will be listed at my etsy store here.

Repurpose Packaging Tutorial

Hello, wanted to share a project with you. I took the cardboard backing from a EK Success border punch that I bought. The floral pattern was so cute I came up with a way to repurpose it. The picture below shows you what I used to create a door knob sign: scissors, corner punch, pencil, modge podge, chipboard shape, alphabet stickers, two peices of cardstock, tracing paper, paper door sign. Also, not shown is a piece of scrap patterned paper.

First what I did was trace the parts of packaging that I wanted to cover with pink paper.

Next I cut out a piece of green paper to cover the back of the sign and then used the corner punch to make a scalloped edge on both sides. And glued it to the back of the sign.

Here, you can see I glued the green paper with scalloped edges to the back of the sign.


Then I glued the pink paper I cut out to the areas where I wanted to cover the writing. Leaving just the cute floral pattern exposed.
Then I took a piece of scrap patterned paper to glue on to the chipboard shape.

An lastly, add chipboard shape, stickers to spell out "My Room" and added some plastic dot thingies for shine. See the possiblities here, so much more could be added to personalized it!!

Love Bug Card

Hello! I was playing with my digi stamps again! Something you should try is using regular stamps with your digi stamps. If you look closely to the butterfly guy, I stamped the wings and hearts with a rubber stamp to give a unique design to them instead of just being plain.

IMade it! Hedgehogs in LOVE

These lovely little hedgehogs are a stamp set from Studio G, just loved them at first site. I stamped them with brown ink on to a tan colored cardstock, cut them out, colored their eyes, feet, legs and cheeks with colored pencils. Stamped an extra girl hedgehog on to white cardstock to cut out the flowers and colored. Using my own digi stamp from Mrs Bee Greetings set I colored with red pencil and used a VersaMarker watermark pen to blend the red around the circle. I use My Mind's Eye "OohLaLa for Her" patterned paper, Prima paper flower, crystals and ribbon.
