Treasured Friends

Hi Everyone!

Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Today I get to show you another project for Dr. Phil Scraps!

I decided to make a card with some great products from the Chantilly line.

For my card, I cut an image from the "A Child's Year" cricut cartridge out at 2.25" and paired that adorable  image with some of those beautiful papers in the Chantilly Paper Packet (X7163B).  The white layer is Colonial White (1388). 

For the middle of my bow, I didn't want to leave it plain but I also wanted something a little different than just a regular button. I decided to use one of the fabric badge buttons from the 

Chantilly Assortment (Z1814). 

I love the way that looks!

The sentiment also came from the Chantilly Paper Packet (X7163B). I simply punched out one of the phrases along the top border. 

Here is a close up of the fabric badge button, the detail in the awesome patterned paper and the sentiment:

I think this is the perfect card for a Treasured Friend :)

Cut It Up #13

Hi everyone!
Happy Friday!
Are you guys ready for another great challenge from
Cut It Up?

Challenge #13

"Pinterest Inspired"

Create a paper project that was inspired by something you saw on pinterest. If you do not have a Pinterest, feel free to get inspiration from a fellow crafter. Very Important, give credit to the original source in your blog post!! Must use a die cut!

Challenge starts Feb. 22 and ends March 6

For my project, I decided to make something very similar to this card that I found on Pinterest by Vicki of Wizard's Hangout. You can find her card HERE

Here is the card that I created:

I loved the design of Vicki's card so I kept mine really similar, I just changed up the colors, made it a Hello card and added some pearls in each corner.

For my die cuts, I used the Hannah Montana Cricut cartridge and cut out my butterfly at 2". I also used a classic scallop circle die from Spellbinders. 

A huge thank you to Vicki of Wizard's Hangout for the wonderful inspiration!

Paper Playtime!

Pause Dream Enjoy (PDE) Ch#4 Use a HAT

Paper Playtime (PPT) Ch#4 Use a Sentiment Stamp

Begins: Monday, Feb 18

Ends: Sunday, Mar 3

Winner announced in the WINNERS Page Tab at Paper Playtime and Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges.

Here is my project incorporating both challenges:

For the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge #4--Use a Hat,

I used my Forever Young Cricut Cartridge and cut out this super cute hat and all it's layers at 1.5".

The mat that the hat is sitting on was cut out of the Elegant Edges cricut cartridge at 3.75".

Both the mat and the hat were popped up with some foam adhesive to give it some dimension. 

For the Paper Playtime Challenge #4--Use a Sentiment Stamp,

I used a stamp from Joy's Life from the set titled Sweet Popsicle Puns.

I thought the "Hello Friend" made this card a super cute just because card.

I punched out my sentiment using the word window punch from SU! and layered that on top of a punch from the modern label punch also by SU!

Memo Board

Hi Everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Today I get to show you another project for Dr. Phil Scraps!

I decided to make a fun little project that uses some fabric from the 

Chantilly Textiles (item #Z1819)

It's a memo board!

I fell in love with this fabric as soon as I saw it, especially the Buttercup Polka Dot pattern.

All I did was take a 8x10 canvas frame and wrap it with some batting, then the fabric, then I criss crossed some narrow ribbon and added some buttons. I attached everything on the back side using a staple gun.

For my little heart button, I took a chipboard button, adhered some glue and added the fabric.

Once it was dry, I simply cut around the chipboard and Voila! A matching embellishment!

Here is a close up of the board:

And one final photo of the board being used:

I love it! 

If you love playing with fabric, then you will definitely want to check out the 

Chantilly Textiles (item #Z1819)!

You get three different patterns in the set and all 3 patterns are gorgeous!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I am going to show you a really fun way that I will be packaging up some Valentine treats.

I decided to make a little paper bag purse to fill with some candy for my daughter and her roomies at college. 

I can fit quite a bit of candy in here.

Here is a side view so you can see the paper bag:

I also put some Craftwork Cards CANDi on my little purse.

Here is a close up of that:

I love how the Regal Silver CANDi gave my little purse the look of having metal on there, like a real purse.

The great thing is the CANDi is so lightweight, that my purse is still nice and light.

Regal Silver CANDi:

There are so many great patterns and colors in the CANDi line,

you should definitely check them out.
