April is Here!!!

Where has the time gone.  I am still spending far too many hours at work.  That means not only has my craft time suffered, I have not even had time to enjoy this awesome weather.  Recently my daughter was asked to be a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding.  My daughter asked me if I could make a scrapbook for my cousin as her bridal shower gift.  I thought that was a great idea since she doesn't scrapbook herself.  I went to JoAnn's and picked up a wedding album, the DCWV Formal Affair 12x12 stack and a few embellishments.  I also grabbed some of their new cardstock by coredinations.  I grabbed a pack that had a hot pink that is close to the color of the bridesmaids dresses.

Now for the hard part....making this album.  I always find it harder working on pages for someone else.  Will they like the products I picked?  Will they like my design?  Will they ever put pictures in this and use it?  Needless to say all those questions in my head creates some serious crafter's block.  Does anyone else ever feel this way?

Since I couldn't get my mojo going I started in the last page because the pattern paper really is the focus.

Supplies: Cardstock (DCWV & Coredinations), Liquid Pearls (Ranger), Epoxy sticker (Cloud 9 Designs), Butterfly punch (Martha Stewart Crafts), Cricut & Wrap It Up cartridge (Provo Craft).

I will post the other pages as I complete them.  Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Series

Hi Everyone - 

I thought I would do a Halloween Series this year.  I have so many card and treat ideas I want to share.  My goal is one per week up to Halloween....we shall see if I can make it.  LOL.  The first card I made is this cute little witch card.

I am in love with my new Mini Monsters cartridge.  I know it came out last season but it's new to me.  ;)  I also love the mat stacks from Die Cuts with a View.  The are perfect for cards.  This paper made the layering super easy and I trimmed the greeting from a strip pattern in the stack.  I of course dug out my Drippy Goo boarder punch from Martha Stewart.  Anyone else remember when that was so hard to find?  It was so worth it because I still love that punch.

Supplies:  Cardstock (The Paper Co. & DCWV), Stickles (Ranger), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Cricut & Mini Monsters (Provo Craft), Drippy Goo Boarder Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts).

Thanks for stopping by.  Stay tuned for more Halloween projects.

Have a Crafty Day!

Mushroom Card

Hi - 

Today's card features Kate's ABCs.  These mushrooms and the butterfly were all one button on the cartridge.  I also used my new Martha Stewart punch on the sides for a bit of interest.  It is called Double Arches and it is a large punch around the page set.  It is hard to tell but I also used some liquid glass from CTMH inside the polka dots on the mushroom and on the body of the butterfly.

Supplies: Cardstock & Liquid Glass (CTMH), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Pattern Paper (DCWV), Cricut & Kate's ABCs (Provo Craft), Boarder Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts).
