I Love Ewe card

Wow, 2 posts 2 days in a row!

I have a son on a mission. The mail isnt super reliable, so Ive not sent a package yet. When he was in the MTC  I sent one every week. Just wanted to let him know we love him, so I made him this card. He has grown up with me making crafts, and scrapbooking so he appreciates this kind of thing.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Boys and Girls club

I signed up to do a class for Boys and Girls club. I hope the kids will enjoy it. This is what I came up with. (I turned in a plan and Im not positive these are in the right order).

Week 1

They will just make one rolo pencil. There will be a tag that they can put their name on or whatever.

Week 2

Week 3

These are bookmarks. They will make 2 in either size. They will design their own faces...mine are just for ideas.

Week 4

They will make 2 cards. They can choose their own theme.

Week 5

Week 6

What do you think? The kids are 6th and 7th grade age.

Hang in There card

I haven't been making much lately, and I thought it would be fun to try to make some cards. I totally scraplifted this card from Leigh Ann Baird. (I bought these stamps because of her card.) The stamps are from Paper Smooches. I'm hoping to make more cards and come up with my own ideas...but tonight I didn't want to have to think of what to do, and I loved this card...so I gave it a try. I like it :)

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Glimmer Mist

Wow, I haven't posted here for a while. I will share a post with you that I posted on the HOP Blog recently.

I decided to try using Glimmer Mist to create my own background paper. This is my finished result. The Bee and "Bee Happy" are free digi stamps from Paper Smooches.

Heres what I did:

First, I drew a bunch of clouds on a piece of paper and then cut them out. I laid the cut outs on a piece of cardstock like this

Then I took my Glimmer Mist and sprayed it all over the cardstock like this

It only took a minute to dry, and then I took the clouds off.

After, I took the cut outs clouds and placed them slightly off center of the white clouds on the paper and traced them so that my finished result looked like this.

I cut up this paper for my background paper and used it on the card you saw above. Fun huh? Glimmer Mist is available at the House of Paper store.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Smooches

I like stamps, and I buy a lot of stamps...but Im not much of a stamper. Kim Hughes started her Paper Smooches company and I was in love. She draws the cutest things and her handwritten fonts are the cutest...so, Im buying more stamps. Ive bought several sets, but since Im not really sure what to do with them, I thought I would start by scraplifting cards Ive seen using sets I have. I totally lifted this entire card from Heidi Van Laar. Cute huh?

Happiness

The theme at House Of Paper this week is Happiness is...

Here is my take on this weeks assignment.

My first project is a birthday card. I LOVE the Echo Park papers. This one is Sweet Summertime. Its bright and happy all by itself. The stamp is one I got on clearance at Michaels.

This layout is things that make me happy...I couldve added more, but ya know. I used Echo Park paper on this one too...this line is called Walk in the Park.

Become a fan of House of Paper on facebook and find out about sales, giveaways, and contests. There is a contest this week to make a happiness is and link it to them to be entered in a drawing for a prize. Also, the blog is updated every week and sometimes more often...be sure to check it out. Its different than the weekly DT uploads.

Sketch

Over at House of Paper we are using a sketch I made for our uploads.

Here is the sketch.

This first layout was made using Fancy Pants Like Father Like Son papers

Then I made a card using the sketch. I used Echo Park Walk in the Park papers.

Spring Card

This card is based off a sketch by Becky Fleck on her blog. I used Basic Grey Kioshi papers. I paper pieced the bunny. The bunny pattern is by Windows of Time. (It is the April pattern for the Simplicity patterns for a calendar she made.)

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Cards and Card Box

Here's my upload for House of Paper this week.

First I made this card box. I constructed the box out of white Bazzill. Then I used Basic Grey Green at Heart paper to put on the box. I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the decorative edge. I folded the flower out of cardstock.

I made these cards that can go in my card box. Ive decided I need to make cards up ahead of time so I have them on hand when I need them.

On the first card (top left) I used Basic Grey Green at Heart papers. The flower is folded out of cardstock. The second card (top right) I just used White and Blue cardstock. The whale and the word whale was cut out of some 3 Bugs Animal Alphabet paper. Cute huh? The third card (bottom left) uses more Basic Grey Green at Heart papers. The stamp is a Heidi Swapp stamp (Thank You). The last card (bottom right) uses Pink Paislee 365 Degrees paper. The sheep is cut out of the 3 Bugs Animal Alphabet paper. I thought it turned out cute.

Anyone know where I can buy a white Sharpie? My lss that used to sell them has closed so now I dont know where to get them and mine ran out.

Christmas Card

Heres another quick card I made for Rocky Mountain Hobbies. I used the Polar Expressions paper and Ribbon by Imaginisce. The edge is a border punch by Fiskars called Apron lace.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Scrappy Stuff

Here are some more things I made for Rocky Mountain Hobbies. All of these were made with the Polar Expressions paper by Imaginisce. I love that the paper is double sided and it is glittery.

I made this box using a template (there are 2 parts, the lid and the bottom). I cut an opening in the lid and put transparency in its place. The lettering is doodlebug alphabet stickers. I cut the tags out with my tags, bags, and boxes cricut cartridge. You could give this as a gift with a note attached that says:

Heres a box of tags for you,

for all the wrapping you have to do.

Attach to gifts for any reason,

To show your love this Christmas season.

I thought this would be a cute little friend gift for my kids to give. I made a pocket card. I used a hot chocolate stamp for the front (these are only $1)

then on the inside I used the mittens stamp and cut them out. I tied hemp around the hot chocolate packet and attached the mittens to the ends. The sentiment was cut out of the paper.

This is a card I made...I just punched the circles out of the paper and cut a sentiment out...really easy.

Thanks for stopping by. Leave me a comment if you drop by...not sure anyone is visiting anymore LOL.
