Thank you Cherry Much

Hi everyone, Welcome to the Just-a-scrappin challenge. The challenge is to create a card using no neutral colors, so no brown, white, or black. This is also my last challenge with Just-a-scrappin as I have just gotten so busy with home life and other crafting endeavours! I hope that you will visit the blog and join in the challenge. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

Cutters Creek April Design Team Project

Hi everyone, Welcome to my very first Cutter's Creek Store Design Post. My project today is an envelope and cards mini album. I did some modifications to the original tutorial which came from Kathy Orta. If you do a seach on Youtube for "Kathy Orta" envelope mini it will pop up for you. I used the Graphic 45 12x12 paper pad French Country. I have some pics of my album below but I also have a video which will show you every page. Some other products that I used for my album include: Scor-tape, I am partial to the 1/4 inch and a Prima Flower.

 

 

 

 





In the video, I mention that I use two different papers in the paper collection for mats and decorative elements. I have those listed below so that you can see what I mean. They ARE included in the 12x12 paper pad.





There are also other embellishments from this collection that would be really nice in a mini album.





I hope that you liked my project! Thanks for visiting me today.

FCCB Challenge #157

Hi everyone, Today is the FCCB Challenge #157. The challenge is to make a 3D project.

The corkboard project was one that I had picked up at the Scrapbook Expo. All of the products are from CTMH and use the Artiste cartridge. We will be re-doing Lily's room soon and I thought that this would be pretty in her room with a fun picture of her family.

I hope that you all visit the blog and join in the challenge. Thanks so much for visiting today.

Close to My Heart

So I took the plunge and joined! There is still time to join before the end of the month and get this great deal.
 

It all started because I wanted the April Stamp of the Month. It works with the Artiste cartridge - the hot air balloons and it also had an awesome sun but of course I wanted to get it free. If you spend $50.00, then you can get the April SOTM for $5.00. Then I noticed that if you signed up to be a consultant, you get the SOTM for April, May, June, July for free...I also had my eye on the Pinwheel stamp set too. When I found out the consultant kit was only 49.00. I was sold!
Look at my kit:

Read Me First Letter

Current Idea Books (qty. 3)

Hostess Order Forms (qty. 5)

Customer Order Forms (qty. 5)

Close To My Heart Color Swatches (W471)

Spring/ Summer 2013 B&T Duos^® Sampler (W1123)

Petite Perks™ Critter Expressions Incentive Stamp Set (W2025)

Chantilly Complements Dimensional Elements (X7163C)

Workshops on the Go^® Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit (G1053)

Reflections^® Scrapbook Program (9037)

Originals Card Confidence Program® (9036)

Buttercup Exclusive Inks^® Pad (Z2110)

Cotton Candy Exclusive Inks^® Pad (Z2193)

Spinner (Z1832)

My Acrylix^® Wheel of Life Stamp Set (D1545)

My Acrylix^® For a Friend Stamp Set (D1542)

4" × 5" My Acrylix^® Block (Y1012)

I already had the two books but everything else was new to me. So not only did I get the 4 Stamp of the Month sets for free but I also got 3 additonal stamp sets - one comes in the Workshops on the Go kit and a full paper pack and coordinating chipboard but also some other tidbits too!

I was an SU demo for 10 years but I 've been slowly letting it all die...I was a little disappointed that they opted for Sizzix vs an electronic Die cut machine and they didn't choose to go "clear" but do a rubber option which does not stick to a block, I use ATG to stick it on a block and you can't see where you are stamping! So for me, I am going to give CTMH a go. I am hoping they will come out with more Cricut cartridges and products!

If anyone is interested in signing up --maybe you're like me and want to give it a go because the price was right and you like the products or you just want to get the free stamps...click here.

To celebrate I am offering a free gift for any order over $50.00 placed on my website through May 30. You can select $10.00 in product for free. Free product will be mailed to you the first week of June. To shop you can click here or the shop with me button at the top of my blog.

Welcome Baby

Hi everyone, Its time for the weekly challenge at Just-a-scrappin. The challenge this week is to make a baby card.


For this card I used a plain white cardbase and used the swiss dots folder to emboss. The image is cut from the Baby Steps cartridge and I used some scraps for his body. The cloud was embossed with the divine swirls folder and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I think that it's very cute with the Peachy Keen face!

Thanks for visiting today. Be sure to visit the blog and join in the challenge!

Feel Better!

HI everyone,
Today, I have a card that I made that does not use any Cricut. When I went to the Scrapbook Expo, I bought these stickers, and fine glitter that you can color on using copics. That's what I used for my main image. I then used some Fancy Pants Love Story paper from my stash and the swiss dots Cuttlebug folder. I think it's simple but nice, the perfect card to send someone who is not feeling well!

FCCB Challenge #155

Hi everyone, Welcome to this week's FCCB Challenge #155. The challenge this week is to use a triangle and the color yellow. Now, I brainstormed with my kids on things that were triangle shaped. They came up with pizza, house roofs and noses (animal, snowman etc). My husband came up with slices of pie and cake, what did you think he wanted after that conversation? Anyway, I searched through my handbooks and came up with a martini! Be sure to watch my video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.
