SSS Challenge - Get in Shape Entry

Hello,

Summer is here I have been enjoying the weather outside and spent less time crafting.  I entered a "Get in Shape Entry" for SSS Challenge.  It is no workout, but to find different shapes for a card. I find it find to make a quick summer theme card.

I used the Lawn Fawn Swim Suit Season stamp along with dies from Spellbinders to make a shapely card and Lawn Fawn Spring Showers Die.

 

 

I like how colorful it looks and fits the summer theme! Have fun this summer!

The Greeting Farm Princess Anya #2 Card

Hello!

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend. I am sharing my card entry for this week Fresh Farm Friday - Put a Bow on It. This time I want to make a simple card using Princess Anya #2 (retired edition) .  I love TGF Stamps, they are super cute and fun to play with !!!

So far I own Princess Anya #1 and #2 and looking forward to collect the rest of  TGF princesses. :)

Here a an up close view of my card.  I am still practicing using Copics.

 

I added Simple Stories Enchanted Sn@p Cards for the background. Punched out using star border punch from EKsuccess on both sides of the card to give a nice simple layer look.

Follow by adding sequins, washi tape, bow twine I have from my craft stash. I know I should have use the fairy stamp for this card, but I am dying to use this stamp.  I still love how it turned out.


This card is also entered in SSS challenge - Royals and Anything Goes

Totes Anya Card

Hello!

 

After keeping good a collection of Anyas in my craft hoard vault, I decided to open one to play with and practice my coloring.  I picked Totes Anya, cause she looks like a purse lover like me!

 I am making this simple card for this week FFF - Green and White Theme. It took less than 1 hour to color and put the card together which I am impressing considered I am a very slow crafter. I take about a day or 2 to finish my project.  Hope you enjoy!

 

 

 

 

First card for 2015

Hello,

Hope you all enjoying the start of the new year so far.  For this year resolution, I am trying to craft more, using my stash than to buy more scrappy goodies. So far it's not working for me.... Hahaha..
With the sneak peaks from CHA 2015 show and clearances from stores, it is hard to resist from not buying. 

Anywhoo, I want to share with you my card I've made today.  The image is a December Freebie from Chi Chi Memories (CCM). There is still time left to join for this month challenge. Here is the sketch below:





Here is my card below -

Chi Chi Memories Nov Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share my submissions for Chi Chi Memories November Challenge. I accidently stumbled to their website the other day and was in awe of their adorable digis. Their digis are affordable, I am tempted to buy some after the holidays.  CCM also offer monthly challenges, if you have not seen their website, I suggest to go have a look. I added their link at the bottom of this post.

Since I was able to score their Freebie, I am using for the current challenge:

When I saw the Girl in Umbrella Digi, I immediately fell in love with her and already choose which paper pad from my craft vault.  She is super cute!  The papers used for this card is from Hedi Grace designs, called "Sunshowers". I love their paper collection and how well it fits for the theme.  I colored the girl with Copics markers added extra curls on her hair. For the umbrella, I used Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry. I added drops of water to give a raindrop look, but it ended up looking like polka dots on the umbrella.  Lastly, added the orange enamel dots from Recollections I purchased from Michaels. I was surprised how cute she looks.

I enjoyed making this card that I am submitting my 2nd entry...with a Holiday twist! I used the same method as the first card, the only difference was I used the washi tape for the banner.  The washi tape is from Martha Stewart. The paper pad I used is from DCWV Cup of Cheer Stack I brought last year.  For the umbrella, I distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough, clear emboss with mini snowflakes, which is hard to see.  I can see hints of it on sunlight.  To give an extra shimmering effect and to match the background, I added Diamond Stickles onto the umbrella. Last add the glitter enamel dots from Teresa Collins. I was amazed how it fits all together and how very festive it looks!

November IARC

Hello,

I hope everyone is ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday and Black Friday shopping!!! I can't wait for the holidays to start!  Here is November submission for IAR challenge. This month's challenge is to make a gift tag and the theme is Christmas.


Here is my tag I made for IAR challenge...

 

 

I was inspired to make a nutcracker theme from the Graphic 45 paper below-

 Isn't it stunning???

 

 

The image size on the paper itself was too large to make a tag, my original plan was set the tag like a stage performance. To fuzzy cut 2-3 smaller ballerinas adding the nutcracker and embellish with IAR flowers. I remembered I brought a nutcracker embellishment last year.  It is now lost somewhere in my craft stash or thrown away accidentally. 

 

Not wanting to give up my original idea, I thought I can buy a nutcracker embellishment at my local Michaels. I hit to 2 nearest Michaels and there was no stock of the nutcracker. I was desperate to stop by Container Store (yes they sell craft items), Marshalls, and TJMaxx. No sign of the nutcracker...

 

I found local paper supply store which have a small scrapbook area. These are what they have left:





 



 

 

 

The sizes of the nutcrackers are way off. LOL. I made my decision to buy the mini nutcrackers. The minis looked awfully cute, I couldn't resist not buying them.  The other one looks too Godzilla big.

 

 

After setting my ballerinas and minis around, I decided to change my original plan and make my tag with humor.  I have added the Martha Stewart glitter eyelash to add along with the flowers and as a tag hanger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love how it came out and how I incorporate with what I have.  This tag cracked me up every time I look at this:

 

 

Whenever I come across my nutcracker embellie, I'll make my original version of the tag.  I have also submit this tag to the Nutcrafters Challenge.

 

 

Thanks for viewing!!!

 



 



Shabby Chic Bottle

Hi All,

Today I want to share a project I made that has a shabby chic theme to it. This is my first try on altering a glass bottle making it look oh so shabby chic! I was impressed of how it turned out.  The colors makes me happy looking at it despite the gloomy fall weather we are having here. Here is how it looks:

All items are from my accumulated stash ready for use:

*Lace trims was purchased from msgardengrove1 at Esty
*White beaded trims was purchased from FB-Destash Your Crafts
*Pink and Green Flowers are from Prima
*2 Tone Cherry Blossoms are from a RAK from Aliscia.
(Check out her blog out at iscraphappy1.blogspot.com and
YT: I scrap happy)

Here's another view of my altered bottle. I may want to use as a fragrance diffuser, what do you think?
