Happy monday everyone .

I have a few projects to share with you. These are some of my June projects for Scraptastic Club using the Surf's Up Kit. I just love this kit all the goodies in it are fabulous. Here is a picture of the kit






Isn't that just yummy. I lovced playing with the Distress ink it was so much fun.. I used it on 2 of my layouts and I think it came out perfectly. It's so easy to use.

Here is my first layout using Surf's Up Called Summer Funn it features my youngest son playing in the sprinklers at the park




The second layout is called Keenan Sweet Baby. The story with this little guy is his mother is a friend of mine and my youngest son adores her he calls Theresa his girlfriend so when she got pregnant my 6 year old went around telling everyone he was going to be a daddy. Then keenan came along and Christopher ( my 6 year old) told everyone that Keenan was his baby but Shane ( the baby's father) helped. Is that to cute or what. Anyway keenan is a year old now and I scrapped his picture he is just to adorable.




Last but not least here is a card I made tonight featuring the Surf's Up Kit at Scraptastic Club but also a stamp from Queen Kat Designs called Nixie. I just love how both these items worked so well together.




Thanks for sticking with me this long. I will be hosting a challenge on the Scraptastic blog this week so stop by..

This week Linda, Maria and Myself had the please of a colour challenge taken from this photo as our inspiration




I decided to use Nixie by Maigan lynn for this challenge I tried to make her appear vintagey it didn't work I think she looks a little more ethereal, but I think it works.. I used my stash of Sassafras Lass goodies I won and i love the effect.

Happy monday everyone today I am going to show you another version of Edelwyn by Maigan Lynn. I love how pretty and delicate Edelwyn is..

Triple Tiara Tuesday...

Welcome to another addition of Triple Tiara Tuesday. This week the challenge was a sketch. Here is the sketch we were asked to use





And here is my take on the sketch I used Aquarius for the challenge I really like how it came out. I stamped one of the images on Black cardstock in white ink and left it didn't add anything else to it.




Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to stop by Linda and Maria's blogs to see their inspiration. Also hit the QKD blog as well.

Happy Monday

Today i'm going to share with you my post at the Whimsical Ink Sorority which i am DT on you can find the Blog here ----> http://whimsicalinksorority.blogspot.com/



Happy monday everyone.. I hope you had an awesome weekend. I know I did.

Today I am showing you Libby by Maigan Lynn. She is such a versatile girl I really love how I was able to use her for this card I am about to show you.



I decided to make an Easel Card and go for a punk look with it. If you would like step by step intruction I will include them at the end of the post for you so you can try and make your own card.


The colours I chose for the card are dark byt I think you will agree it balances out in the end. So without further ado here is my card called Live Laugh Love.





Isn't she pretty I love how it all came together.


Products used:
Co'redinations Black Cardstock
Fancy Pants Designs It's The Little Things Four Birds
Fancy Pants Designs It's The Little Things Pecking Order
Fancy Pants Designs It's The Little Things Glitter Cuts
Copics
Pencil Crayons
Black Versa Mark Ink
Libby Stamp


Now for the instructions

1. ( depending how big of a card you want I'll tell you the dimensions of mine)
Cut a piece of card stocK 7 x 12. Measure at 3 inches and 6 inches and score these lines

2. Prefold all score lines.


3. Cut another piece of card stock at 7 x 6

4. Place the 7 x 6 piece on the first fold line. Line up the edges and adhere the pieces together.

5. Decorate the card front


To make the easel card stand up by itself, add an embellishment or an extra layer (for this sample, it's the punched layer) the inside of your card. This that will keep the card front from closing.

It is best to have that embellishment or layer at least 1/3" into the card from the bottom up.

You can Find Libby at http://katstamps.com

Have a great day...

In The Hood

Happy Sunday everyone I know it's been a while since I have had any layouts on my blog but today i have one to show you... I used Scraptastic Club's May " In The Hood" kit. I love how versatile this kit is featuring Crate Paper's Neighborhood Collection. The embellishments and extras that Jessica put with this kit are phenomenal. So go over and check out her blog and website to see what kits she has available I guarentee you won't be disappointed. Here is the Website for you to check out the kits. http://www.scraptasticclub.com/



The layout I created is a play on the Kit Title my layout is called " The Boys In My Hood" I think the photo of my 3 youngest sons is gorgeous they just had school pictures done two weeks ago and these turned out beautifully don't you think? I must say I definately have gorgeous kids I know I'm prejudiced I am their mom after all :)



The first two pictures are to show you the dimension of the layout I created using Tombow Double-sided Foam adhesive tabsfrom the Craft Collection. I also used Tombow's Stamp Runner also from The Craft Collection.






The last Picture is the scanned layout so you really can't see the dimension the layout has

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Sunday

Hugs
