Hat o' Shamrocks

Hello Everybody!

I made a card using this super cute image from Silhouette (cutting machine).  I love their images and spend lots of time just looking at them.  Finally, I cut something out!  ;)

I embossed the panel with Swiss dots on the cuttlebug.  I used scraps (yay!) for the hat.  

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

{PIN}spirational Challenge #135-I was inspired by the shamrock

Great Impressions: March Challenge-Go Green

Catch the Bug Challenge: March Challenge: Anything Goes!

Stuck On U Sketches: March Die Cut Challenge: Lucky Green (the hat and shamrocks are the die cut from the Silhouette Store)

Thank you for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends...Good Day!

About Me Scrapbook Layout

Hello Everybody!

At Stick It Down there are beautiful new sketches for March.  And now you have a whole month to complete your projects.  I'm on the Single Page Team and here is my page:

I used K & Company Designer Pad for this layout.  The designer was Kelly Panacci.  I have a list of things that I like.  And these photos are all from 2015.  The last picture was Ash Wednesday and we celebrated Chinese New Year a day early-so that picture is ok.  LOL my printer didn't do anything wrong.  ;)

Here is the sketch:

I made another layout with this sketch.  The banner is from my Silhouette machine (love it!).  I used Making Memories letters (felt and regular stickers).  I popped up the middle picture.

Thank you for stopping by today!  We can't wait to see what you create!

Until next time my friends...let's go scrap some memories! :)

Selfie Challenge

Hello Everybody!

There is such a cool challenge going on at Scrap It Girl for March.  It's about selfies.  It can have just you or you with somebody.  I love this because we (often the people behind the camera) need to be in the pictures and on our scrapbook pages.

I also have a slight inflated sense of self-so that helps out also--hehe just kidding (ok it could be true.)

So here is my take on the Selfie challenge.

I used a Prima background paper sheet and then used a Prima stencil with like modeling paste.  There are also spots and splotches from a Tim Holtz stencil I have.  And then some random stamping.  The butterfly is from Martha Stewart and given to me by my mom-in-law.  I took this picture of my son and I.  There is a cool feature on my camera where it makes the hues light so I was just playing around but I really like how this came out.

I hope you play along!  We can't wait to see what you create!

Until next time my friends...time to go take some more selfies-it's March! :)

Enamel Dots for a Tech Card

Hello Everybody!

It's time for a new challenge at House of Cards-Enamel Dots.  If you don't have these in your stash be sure to check out the video that shows you how to make them.

I used some from Bo Bunny.  The stamps for this card are from Stampin' Up (sentiment, and behind sentiment), Close to My Heart (Tech Speak), and the numbers are from Inkadinkado.

This card is for my dad-he's a computer guy so I hope those green squares look like circuit boards to him.  I used a white ink from SU for those and my 2 inch square punch.  The kraft background for the card is 4x12 then I folded it in half.  I know it's a different size but that is the only way I could get the circuit board squares to look ok.  I used a fiskars punch for the notepad paper.  The notebook paper was inspired by this pin.  

Thank you for stopping by!  We can't wait to see what you make with Enamel Dots! 

Until next time my friends...let's craft! :)

Tim's February Tag 2015

Hello Everybody!

I am so happy that I had enough time and supplies to make Tim's February Tag for 2015.  For all of the directions click here.

I love the shabby chic of the technique for this tag.  Also, I love the wrapped wire.  But let me tell you that Tim uses a hot glue gun.  That did not work for me.  I had to break out the big glue--E6000.

So here is my tag:

I had to change the placement of some of the elements.  I didn't have the ephemera that Tim used and what I do have didn't quite fit.  So I used papers that I have and a the 14 is a sticker from one of Tim's sticker packs.  I put the lace at the bottom and love it there.  I love the metal frame too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time my friends....March tag will be here soon! :)

Hello Everybody!

It's the 1st of February so that means it's time for a new challenge at Scrap It Girl!  The challenge this month is to use the color blue and arrows.

Here is my layout:

This was such a fun layout to create.  There's stamping, paste and even some scraps!  There's some Tim Holtz, K&Company, and 7 Gypsies to name a few.  

I bought a new metal stencil for this layout.  I used some T.H. walnut stain to mix with the light modeling paste-but that made the paste a little watery.  So you can see where some of the arrows bleed a little bit.  But I thought it added character.  And then the cork arrows are from Fancy Pants.

Be sure to stop by Scrap It Girl to see the rest of the DT's projects-they are so inspiring!  While you are there check out the fantastic prize!

Until next time my friends...have a great day! :)

Love is in the Air!

Hello Everybody!

Today is so exciting since not only is it the first of the month-but it's also the Big Game!  Who are you rooting for? ;)

At House of Cards there is a new challenge-Love!  So if you are getting ready to make Valentine's Day cards or you want to let someone know that you love them-be sure to link up!

Here is the card that I made:

The background is light modeling paste and a Prima stencil.  This is my new favorite stencil.  I used it recently on a scrapbook page.  It is so elegant.  A friend of mine gave me these sequin hearts and the letters are from Paper Studio Gemstones letters (Hobby Lobby).  I love how it turned out!

We can't wait to see what you create! :)

Until next time...Go Pats! :)
