My first Floating Frame

I have been seeing these around and I just had to try one.  I picked up the frame from AC Moore.  The font is Honey Script.

Christmas Cards

I had some time to color this weekend and this is what I came up with. 

SST Christmas and Countdown to the New Year Blog Hop!

Christmas is coming and so is the new year! To get you in the spirit of the season, the divas of Sistas Scrap Too! have come together for a Christmas and Countdown to the New Year blog hop! There are 17 blogs in the hop, so make sure you use the links below this post to hop to all of the participating blogs. No worries if you miss one, you can always go back! These 17 divas have a lot in store for you. From exquisite creations to offers of blog candy, you will enjoy hopping your way to all of the blogs involved!

For my project I decided to focus on home décor to get in the spirit of Christmas.  Living in Florida we don’t get very much snow.  Only once in all my years has it ever snowed here! So I am dreaming of a white Christmas. 

My first project is an 8x10 canvas. 

My second project is an altered charger plate.  

The images from both projects are digital stamps from La La Land Crafts. The papers used in the projects are from the My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter collection.

Birthday Card

This is a card I made for a friend’s birthday.  She likes a lot of colors so I knew this paper would be perfect for her.

Card for pageant winner

This digi stamp is from: http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/

Anniversary

This is an anniversary card that I made for the husband.  The image on the outside of the card is from http://digitalpenciltoo.com/. The image on the inside is from http://www.kennykdownloads.com/.

Fair Time

It's fair time here and I just had to scrap these pictures of my daughter.  I was surprised she even got on any of the rides.

Cowgirl Party

This year for my daughter’s 4^th birthday, I decided to go with a pink and brown cowgirl theme party. The invitations set the stage for the party.  Keeping with that theme, I created a banner and a welcome sign.  I also made a t-shirt to match the invitations and found a little foam hat that I decorated. For the table centerpieces I made tissue paper flowers and decorated soup cans for the vases.  Since the party was on a hidden driveway a bought a blank sign from home depot to put on the road. The favor bags were filled with a mini bucket, a western activity book, some farm animal tattoos, and some silly bands.  All items except the silly bands were ordered from oriental trading.  

I served sweet tea and pink lemonade for drinks to keep with the pink and brown colors.

The Birthday girl.



I found the cutest boots to complete her ensemble. 

Baby Shower Card

Fight Like a Girl

When I saw this stamp I had to order it.  Although I don't know anyone that is battling cancer directly I couldn’t resist coloring this image and making this card. The image is from http://www.whimsiedoodles.com/ and all proceeds for this image are donated to breast cancer research.

Card

Here is another Kenny K digi stamp colored with copics. I love the way this one came out.

Cards

This card was made for a co-workers daughter that made her school volleyball team.  It is her first time playing so she was very excited to make the team.

The image is a digital stamp from http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/

The net and ball are from the everyday paper dollar Cricut cartridge.

Unicorns & Rainbows

One of my daughter’s favorite Dora episodes involves unicorns and rainbows so I created this layout for her.

The Lazy River

Our favorite spot at the water park during our summer vacation was definitely the lazy river. We spent most of our time floating away.

Cards

Here are two cards I created today. The digital stamp is called Charlotte and is from The Greeting Farm.

Football T-shirt

Football season is back so this year I will make some shirts to wear to my little brother’s games. This is the back of the shirt I made for DD to wear. Haven’t quite decided what I am going to do with the front yet.

Beer Mug

I had a few minutes to play this week so I pulled out some vinyl. I visited the Dollar Tree and picked up a beer mug and decided to etch it. The font is Varsity Letter and the medicine bottle is from Simply Sweet.

Little Boy Birthday Card

This is a card that I made for a little boy that was having a fire truck themed party. The fire truck is from everyday paper dolls and I cut it out several times to get the different colors. I then embossed it to give it that shiny look. The dog is from create a critter.

Male Birthday Card

This is a card that I made for a friend’s birthday. On the inside it says on your way to becoming a classic.

Copic Cards

I had some time last night to play with my copics. After taking a class I decided to invest in them. Here are two cards that I finished last night. The digital stamps can be found at http://digitalpenciltoo.com/

Although it doesn’t show good in the pics the tile on the floor and the glass block window have a shiny look. To create the look of the blocks I used vellum for the window and white cardstock for the floor. Using the Martha Stewart scoreboard I scored it into small squares and then I embossed it with UTEE to give it that shiny look.

More t-shirts

For the Time Out Thursday this week over at Platinum Scraps I decided to display more of the shirts I made for our trip to the Sesame Street Safari of Fun at Busch Gardens.

Families are Forever

This week over at Platinum Scraps each designer had to complete a layout of their choice with 3 black and white photos and 3 monochromatic embellishments. The embellishments could be buttons, brads, ribbons, cuts, etc. This is my take on the layout.
