A place to showcase my crafts and talk about it...what's better than that? I hope to inspire and encourage others to create things for themselves, friends and family.
Hey there! It's September 1st and time for another six week challenge at Love To Craft Challenge Blog (LTCCB)! This time, I'm working with a digi stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps. Oh boy, talk about cute digi stamps! I had so much fun with this image and made multiple cards in multiple colors and sizes.
Be sure to check out the shop in Etsy to see this Birthday Girl digi stamp and so many others.
I used some painty papers and random scraps from my junk journaling stash to make this unique and fun birthday card. Alcohol markers were used to color her in.
I even tried using gray markers for a "black & white" vintage feel. I love the contrast between the gray image & the bright painty paper background. What do you think?
Be sure to link your crafty project at the LTCCB site. Remember, this can be ANY crafty project. We want to see them all!
I feel like this card has all the things! First of all the cute cupcake sticker from Krazy Kreations, glitter paper (also from Krazy Kreations), alcohol markers, fun folder, sketch, Alice in Wonderland patterned paper and two shapes cut from the Cricut.
I purchased the cupcake stickers at the Expo earlier this year from looking at all the cool samples in the Krazy Kreations booth. I didn't attend a workshop but it seemed easy enough. I did however, check out their website to get hints on how to work with them.
The glitter paper is white so I could use alcohol markers to color in whatever color scheme I wanted. My colors matched the Alice in Wonderland paper perfectly. Although this is not AIW specific, it is so perfect for a birthday! I purchased the AIW paper from Scrappy Boy; also at the Expo.
I used a sketch from Sketch n Scrap and thought this easy fun fold card worked perfectly with it.
Watch the process video especially at the end where I had a big OOPS, but managed to salvage the card!
Attach the sticker to the glitter paper; color the insides of the sticker; fold the card as desired & adhere the fun AIW patterned paper plus some cardstock; use the Cricut to cut a scalloped and regular circle; stamp sentiment in the inside and done!
I love the quality of the sticker & glitter paper from Krazy Kreations! I'm definitely going to look closer at their booth next year at the Expo. I can see how these can be a lot of fun and make stunning cards! Yup, I'd purchase more!
My daughter-in-law asked me to personalize some items for two of my granddaughters but I didn't want to leave the baby out. I used the BE KIND SVG cut file from PrintableCuttableCreatables for this cute addition to a plain white onesie.
The thing I love about working with PrintableCuttableCreatables images is that there are multiple choices to use depending on the type of material you plan on using.
I selected the image group suitable for HTV and the one with open wings. So easy to cut, weed and apply!
I used the mini press to apply the image to the onesie. The mini press is perfect for small projects like this!
And here's the final project!

I'm participating in a YouTube hop with others from Rediscover Your Stash (check below for more details). I love these stashbuster challenges because I really do bash some stash!
The stash to bust this month is acrylics. I started off thinking I was going to use acrylic paint on this layout, but I'm not really a fan of wet mediums on my scrapbook layouts. I don't like the wrinkling of paper and overall look.
As I was contemplating what I was going to do, it dawned on me to use the multiple sizes of acrylic blocks as a stamp! I used an assortment of colored inks from my stash and just stamped all over.
After stamping multiple ink colors all over the page, I used a fine point black marker and outlined each "square". I used a script stamp to add interest using generational stamping. Once I added the photos, I added the acrylic stars, labels and a base for the title to the page/photos. Each label has a very short description of the photo since this is a Month in Review layout.
Stickers were used for the title and an acrylic paint black marker & white were used to dress them up.
This layout is completely different than what I would have imaged but I really like it. It's a little funky but works for this Month in Review layout.
Acrylics Used:
Acrylic blocks for stamping; Acrylic black stars for embellishments; Acrylic black paint marker to change the look of the letter stickers

TGIF and Happy Thankful Friday! I'm having a great week. This week I'm thankful for the cooler weather. It's been in the 80's for the most part and I'm hoping for a continue trend! I'm so ready for fall.
How about you? What are you thankful for this week?
Oh how I love this box card! It's perfect for a summer birthday girl! I purchased the cut file from My Scrap Chick and it is super cute and easy to assemble.
The only thing you need to do before cutting the pieces is to change the cut lines on each base layer from cut to score and attach them. Otherwise cut as is - no need to resize or make other changes!
Watch my YouTube process video for instructions and tips!
