Wall Paper Fun

Hi Everyone,

Today I went to a few different wall paper

stores and they gave me some of the old books

they were going to throw away.

The paper is very strong and works

well for all kinds of projects.

I have the Magnolia Magazine from

February, called " Make a wish".

It has the cutest little baby carriage.

I started out with a few sheets
of wall paper. 

Then cut the pieces out.

As you can see I forgot two of the wheels.

:) LOL :)

Then just put them together and decorate.

They are just the right size

for mints, or a small gift for the baby.

You could also use them as place

settings with every one's name on them.

Or maybe at a baby shower for games or

prizes.

They are very easy to make.

If you would like the pattern

for this adorable little Carriage.

Go to

Stamping Scrapping

and check out all the wonderful Magnolia products.

I had so much fun making this little

baby carriage.

Next time you go past the wall paper store,

pop in and ask if they have any old books

they are going to throw away.

It keeps them out of the land fills and that's

 great for the enviorment. Remember this month is going green. This is one little thing we

can do to help save the planet,

and have fun in the process.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Going Green

Hi everyone,

March is here already, and

everyone will be

"Going Green".

Including the

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog.

This month all you need to do is

select one of the many stamps from the

 Crafter's Companion  website,

 and make something

green. That's it!!

There are going to be some wonderful prizes.

Pop over and take a look.

The design team has made some stunning

projects to get you started.

This is what I made for

"Going Green"

Our little fairy friend is napping

under the lilacs.

I stamped her out on good card stock.

Colored her in with my alcohol

 based markers.

Then just cut her out and put her on the

card with some 3-D foam dots.

The little flowers are made from

Flower Soft.

The stamp is from the

Flower Fairies Friends

collection called

Candy-Tuft.

And the beautiful 

Green Pearlescent Card Stock

is from Crafter's Companion.

I love all the stamps from

Crafter's Companion.

But my favorites are the fairy stamps.

They also have sets of stamps called Fairyopolis.

Pop over and take a look.

I hope you liked the card I made.

Now, pick a stamp, and make

  something wonderful.

Then enter it in the contest.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.



Crazy Love

Hello crafters,

I hope everyone is enjoying the

Anthony and Burt stamps.

These stamps are so much fun!

My brothers birthday was this week.

I like the fact that you can use these stamps

for the guys in our lives.

Today I wanted to show you the

Anniversary card I made.

First I found some wonderful paper in my scrap basket.

The words "Crazy Love" says it all.

I distressed the edges with some

Jumbo Java ink, by Versa Magic

and used the

Extra Strong Permanent Tape

to secure it down.

Then just rolled the edges toward the center.

I stamped out 9 little hearts and made the

Tic-Tac-Toe game.

I added a little twine and the front was done.

For the inside of the card.

I stamped out Anthony and Burt

" My Heart Belongs To You".

Cut the middle of the heart out. Then I place

the little tiles( by doodle bug designs) on pop dots, 

to show how many

 years they were married.

Added the heart tiles at the bottom and

all finished.

Crafter's Companion

has a wonderful selection of

Anthony and Burt stamps.

And the

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

is giving away a set of stamps every week.

Pop over and check it out.

Stop in everyday.

These talented lady's will inspire you to make some

wonderful creations of your own.

 I hope you enjoyed the card.

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Pyramid Treat Boxes

Hello Crafters,

Today I wanted to share with you

a cute little pyramid box

I found on

The pink Petticoat Blog.

Liz gives you the template.

Just print it out and cut out the notches.

I used my

 Ultimate Crafter's Companion Tool

to make the score marks..

And now just decorate!

I thought these would be great

little treat boxes for the Easter basket.

I found some great stickers by

Suzy's Zoo.

Stickers are wonderful! They are

 easy, and fast.

This way if you need to make quite a few

for the kiddo's, you will be done in no time.

You can also decorate the inside.

Then just add the treats.

I filled this egg with M&Ms.

The Easter basket will fill up fast,

 and not a lot of candy. :)

You could also put a small toy, like

a car or  set of stickers for the boys.

And for the girls, hair clips, or earrings.

These little boxes are great for all

kinds of gifts, from toys for Easter, to

gifts for Christmas, hung on the tree.

Pop over to Liz's blog and get your free template. She has so many wonderful

projects. Make a few of these, and

tell me how you decorated yours.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Having Fun With Flower Soft

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to do a tutorial.

I've only done 1 or 2 of them, so

please forgive me for any blunders. :)

I wanted to do a car freshener today.

You could hang this in the car,

or a closet, or put it in a drawer

or a suite case.

This is what we will be making today.

This tag is double sided.

We will need to do the same thing on both sides.

First, pick out a shape for your tag.

I used this one from spellbinders.

Use what you have, it could be a square,

a circle, or a diamond shape.

Cut 2

Next

Pick out what you want to

stamp on the tag.

I used this wonderful little stamp

from  Crafter's Companion  called

A Little Bit Sketchy.

I stamped it out on cream colored

card stock with Memento black ink.

Then colored them in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

 Inked the edges with Stampin Up's

Cherry Cobbler ink.

I know it's a little hard to see, but it is there.

Next, we are going to play with some

wonderful stuff called

Flower Soft.

I purchased mine from a

great company called

Stamping Scrapping.

They have everything you need.

These are the colors I used.

Meadow

&

Summer

All you need to do is put little drops of glue

where you want the fluff to stick.

There is a great video showing you

how to use Flower Soft on the

 Stamping Scrapping website.

Now, to make sure the little flower's don't

fall off, I used a sealant to cover the tag.

Spray & Seal

 works great. Your hubby may

have a paint sealer in his work area.

Just make sure it is clear, and use it outside.

The fumes can make you a little loopy!!

I'm loopy any way...

So it doesn't matter.

:) LOL :)

I used the Stick & Stay to put the two

tags together. Use what you have...

To make the card smell nice, I found

these lovely little bottles of

fragrance's called

Scent My Card.

These are awesome!!!

Just add a drop or two and the scent

will last a long time.

It is wonderful for these tags.

Use one for spring, ( I used Honey Suckle)

when that is gone, use one for fall or

Apple cinnamon for Christmas.

Stamping Scrappy has these also.

Don't let the size fool you.

You only need a small amount.

You can also get bottles of different scents

at Michael's or your local craft center.

Look in the candle or soap making section.

I punched a hole in the top of the tag,

to put the twine.

I also added some ribbon on the bottom

of the tag.

I needed a pink, so I made the color I needed.

This is called HUG SNUG seam binding.

It comes in 100 yd rolls, I buy white and cream.

I found mine at

Fabric.com.

Cut a piece of ribbon, and pick out the color

you need.

You can use a reinker or an ink pad,

or a spray ink, what ever you have.

I put on gloves. I hate getting ink on my

hands, because then it goes every where.

My face, clothes, the cat!!

:)LOL:)

(only kidding)

Any way.

Put the ink on your crafting mat.

( or in a bowl).

Spray some water on it.

Let the ribbon soak it up.

Then just flatten it out, or crinkle it up,

and let dry. I would not use the heat gun

unless it's in small bursts, it will melt the

seam binding. :(

Then use it as you like.

There are all kinds of videos on

You Tube, just type in

" Dying my own ribbon ".

I punched 2 holes at the bottom of the tag.

 Then threaded 2 pieces of ribbon

through, one for each side.

Added some pearls, also dyed

the same color.

(dip in left over ink)

And DONE!!!

YAY :)

Are you still with me?

If so, you get a gold star!!

LOL

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Thank You Lynda

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to say a special

Thank You,

to the lovely lady who does our taxes,

Miss Lynda...

Lynda always does a wonderful job for us.

And I wanted to let her know that we

appreciate her so much.

I learned a new technique  the other

day from Stampin Up with

 Tami White.

She is amazing, and always has

wonderful projects.

This is the card I made.

\

I was so very excited to try this.

Sometimes I think to myself, that is to hard,

or you can't do that.

But just get in there, and give it a shot!!

What's the worst thing that could happen?

You have a colorful lining for the

bottom of the birdcage.

:)LOL:)

Then you try again!

You should see some of my

projects that I just laughed at and

said " I don't think so".

"lol"

Give this one a shot, it was so much fun...

And very easy.

I changed the colors around, and

put a thank you note inside.

Now all I have to do is drop it off.

Also Tami has some great gifts when

you purchase her Stampin Up products.

Check it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

My Heart Belongs To You

Hi Everyone,  

It's Wednesday.

Crafter's Companion Day

Last week you had a sneak peak at

the wonderful stamps,

Anthony and Burt.

This is the release week.

Hop over and take a look.

And while your hopping

( no pun intended)

:) lol:)

 Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

and enter for the free stamp give-a way.

Also check out the

Something Sweet Challenge

there are wonderful prizes this month.

And there's still time to enter the

100 Dollar Gift Certificate Drawing.

From Crafter' Companion.

For my card today,

I stamped my image

out on cryogen card stock, with

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Then colored in with

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

These stamps are so cute.

This cute little fly (Anthony) has a big ole'

crush on his friend Burt.

I added sone tiny little hearts around Anthony.

(The hearts are fingernail decorations)

I put some

Stickles Glitter

around the heart and added a bow.

For the sentiment, I layered the two hearts

together and added a little prima rose.

The foil on the bottom layer is from

Foilman.com

I hope you enjoyed the card today.

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.
