Back to Scrappin’!

It has been a long hiatus.  Working full time and going to school full time has really cut down on any extra curricular activities. I’ve missed it! Hopefully as both are winding down for the Christmas break I can get much more time in my craft room!!

I decided to start my crafty season off with a layout for the challenge over at Unity Stamp Co. I adore their stamps and use them quite frequently on my layouts and cards.  Here is a sweet layout of my beautiful new granddaughter!

(Supplies: Pattern Paper from Carta Bella “Hello Chevron”; Citrus Twist Kits - button flair, sequins and twine; Amy Tangerine letters; Unity Stamp Co. “Love Beyond Measure” stamps; Staz On black ink, Close to My Heart Slate ink)

Fun tip:  I used my Staz On black ink to stamp the ruler image onto a piece of ribbon

Thanks for looking at my layout today. Stay tuned for more work in the weeks to come including a FULL week of UNITY STAMP CO. goodness coming up at the end of the month. You definitely don’t want to miss out on that one *wink wink*!!

Have you seen the Zink?

I’ve been MIA for a little while now but I wanted to share a fun giveaway my friend Michelle of 4 Men 1 Lady is giving away.  Head over to her blog to see the fun things she has done with the Zink printer and enter a giveaway to win one of your own!

HIMCR #107- Freestyle!

Today’s card (yet another birthday card!) was made with the new Ruby- RockIt! Carnival Queen papers.  These were really fun to use.  I dusted off my Cricut (literally - there is too much dust here!) and cut out the cute cupcake from the Rock Princess cartridge.  The sentiment tag was cut from Art Philosophy and the stamps on the sentiment are my new stamps from Unity Stamp Co. I topped it off with some sparkly stickles and a few metal gems from Joann’s.  I really love how it came out and know my niece will love it too :)

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to head over to Hiding in My Craft Room to see all the other yummy treats the DT has to share with you today!

HIMCR #106 - Super Scraps Saturday!

It is my favorite challenge of the month! Time to use up all the scraps you've been accumulating!

I am back with another birthday card (hey we have a large family!) This week I used a scrap I played around with when we challenged you to Try a New Technique. I made several of these little "cards" playing around with that faux linen look so I figured it was time to use one up.

Thanks for looking and head to Hiding in My Craft Room to link us up!

HIMCR #105 - Red and Green!

This week is a color challenge - red and green! You can do something for Christmas in July or any other project using red and green.  Make sure to go to Hiding in My Craft Room to link us up!

I chose to make a card for my niece's birthday that is coming up.  I really dug into my stash this time! I used Lil Davis (remember them?) rub on letters for the greeting. I think I've had them for about 6-8 years now!  Eek.  I really need to purge my supplies......

Thanks for stopping by!
