Hey Ya'll

It's been a while since I last posted here. Actually almost a month.

I just wanted to do a check in post and let you know what I have been up to.

I haven't really been good about taking pictures of some of the projects I have made. Since They have made and mailed almost immediately to their destinations

Here are some that I did take quick pictures of.

Please ignore the horribly lighting as I just took quick shots using my cell phone

This first picture was one of the many Mother's day cards I made.

I used this stamp set from Inkadinkado (Inkadinka Clings) Rubber Stamp

Inkadinkado-Inkadinkaclings Collection- Floral Bouquet

I bought these from Scrapbuck.com ages ago but never used them.

I colored the flowers with my Spectrum Noir Markers and used some Glossy Accents on the case and stickles on portions of the floral park

I actually stamped the boquet twice and cut and colored the largest flowers purple and popped them up. It's really breathtaking in real life

The sentiment is from an E.A.D designs Stickerz that I had laying around.

The second was a sort of sympathy card card for afamily member that experience a horrible situation. I just wanted them to know they were in my thoughts

This was a rubber stamp that I got on Clearance at my local scrapbook store, I also colored this with my spectrum noir Markets, and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps

I just colored this and added a little bit of Stickles to the lotus flowers

If I find the image of what the stamp looks like, and the name of it, I will update this post.

Both of these cards were on the simple side for me, but Like I said I was in a urgent rush to get these mailed out

Hope you like these projects.


Also I will be at CKC- BUFFALO scrapbook convention this week for any of my WNY area crafters. I hope to see ya there :)

I'm linking this project to the Spectrum Noir "Spring Theme" Challenge: Create a spring project using your Spectrum Noir Markers 

Smash-book pages

Hey Crafters,

I haven't had a lot of time this week to update on here but I thought I would share with you some of the projects i worked on recently.

I have been trying to scrap alot of the photos that have been piling up which means I finally got the chance to complete some pages in my smash book. 

You might want to click the pictures to check them out larger

Easter 2012 Smashbook pgs

I made this 4 page Smashbook layout by attaching an extra sheet of cardstock to the side of one of my pages using washi tape and then making it a flip out. 

I covered all of my smashbook pgs with Spring papers from Little Yellow Bicycle.

St. Patrick's Day 2012 Smashbook

 On these two pages I used some Green Recollections (open stock) Argyle Pattern apper to just do a quick page for St. Patty's day last year. I added a few shamrocks stamped with my Peachy Keen Stamps and Phrases from Papertrey ink Luck of the Irish Stamp set

Spring Flower Show 2013 Smashbook pages

This is one of my elaborate Pages. I used papers from Doodlebug Designs Hello Spring 12x12. I included photos in various sizes, a entire brochure from the event, a flip out section and lots of Journaling 

I hope my pages give you some ideas. 

A survey for my readers...

Spring is almost here

Happy Monday,

I haven't made a video in a while, but I plan to post one very soon just you wait :)

As some of you who "Like" my page on facebook may already know. I recently purchased some spectrum noir markers and I've been spending a lot of my free Crafting time playing with them.

This project I made for two challenges

1. The Spectrum Noir Challenge: Our March/April 2013 challenge is all about Spring.  Create any card or project, use your Spectrum Noir pens to color your image, make sure it has a Spring Theme, and you can play along with us!

2. Simon Says Stamp Sketch Challenge: Choose a Sketch. I decided to use this sketch as my inspiration

As you can see my main image was really side so I couldn't fit a half circle shape, So I used several smaller half circles instead. I also made my card 5x7 instead of square.

card sized 5x7

Sentiment: Scrappy Moms Stamps "Spring Fling"
