Over 200 now!!

My dear followers! :)

You all have no idea how great you all make my day every day that I log on and see how many more awesome people want to follow me!

I'm sooo sorry that I have been MIA for a little while but to make a realllllyyyy long story short, I ultimately moved out of baby daddy's house and now I'm just trying to pick my life back up until we can both be ready to try again. I didn't want to put it all online but I'm sure you all understand.. we just had some issues that we needed to work out on our own.

Once I get the rest of my stuff moved out and out of the boxes then I will for sure pick one winner and ship out my candy! Thank you for being so kind and patient!

PS I'm also very sorry to announce (and once again sorry that this is posted so late) but I can only pick a winner in the U.S. due to the very high shipping costs.. again I hope you understand my situation and this doesn't push any international followers away :(

Stay tuned for a winner within the next couple of weeks.. until then I will keep the drawing open!

Good Luck!

Wow! Over 100 followers in a week!

I just wanted to let all of my new followers know that I'm still here and I'm sooooo thankful that everyone wants to join in on my giveaway and be my new scrappy friends!! I just wanted to say that I'm going to keep the giveaway open a little longer and see how many new friends I can get, while I'm dealing with some personal issues at home. As soon as I can though, I will be back and I will for sure pick one lucky winner! :) Thank you all for being so patient and I might even add some more goodies to the mix just because I'm taking so long! :)

I look forward to picking a winner and seeing what great projects we can all inspire each other to create!

Sweet Baby layout

I also did a sketch challenge for this week (on time this time!) :)

I chose to enter the sketch challenge over at Sketchy Thursdays, which I LOVEEE! I can't wait until the next sketch :)

Here's my layout for the challenge, I love the way it came out!! :)

My background paper is from K&Co "Snuggle Bug"

Smaller paper is also K&Co from the "Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl" line

First smile is from K&Co die pack "itsy bitsy"

Bottle was included with the "Sweet Baby" embellisments

This tag is a simple green gingham tag from a K&Co tag pad that I stapled a pink ribbon from Michaels to and trimmed one edge with decorative scissors. Then I inked the edges with pink and stamped little baby feet in the same pink. Then I added my journaling. MY FIRST ALTERED TAG!! YAYYY! :)

Sweet Baby is from Recollections dimensionals

For the banner i took a 1.5 inch circle punch and cut the circles is half, then i sloppy doodled around the flags and added rhinestones to act as the hanging points for the banner.

Here's the sketch for this week:

Isn't this just adorable!!??

Welcome baby layout

On the top of the layout is Kenzie's ankle bracelet from the hospital

Background paper is from K&Company "Snuggle Bug" 

Shape behind the journaling spot is from Lacy Labels, cut from the K&Co "Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl" paper pad

Ribbon with little feet is recycled from my diaper cake that I was given at my baby shower

"welcome baby" is cut from Simply Sweet cartridge and the shadow is welded using CDS

Diecut animals are from K&Company "Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl"

Kenzie's actual prints from less than a month old, I cut them out from the index cards I made

Kenzie's crib card from the hospital

Here's the sketch:

My friend is getting married!!

My friend Amanda from high school is marrying her marine this year and I wanted to make her a card before I missed her bridal shower, since I moved 8 hours away :(

I took this idea from a combination of tutorials on the wedding hearts and I couldn't be more pleased with how cute they came out!! The paper is embossed with love and other words including adore that I got a long time ago at a LSS.

I cut out a peach heart and a white heart from the CAC cartridge then I embossed the bride with swiss dots and and inked the edges with silver as well as spritzed with silver ink.. then I added rhinestones for her necklace and pearls for her dress and popped up the middle part and glued the edges.

For the groom I cut out the same hearts in a white and black then made a slit and folded down the top for his lapels then snipped a little triangle is each one and inked with white as well as spritzing with silver. I tied a simple knot in the top of the ribbon and zotted it on. Finally I added little black rhinestones for his buttons and popped up just his chest and glued the edges together.

"Mr. & Mrs." is cut from the sweethearts cartridge with the shadow feature and I added rhinestones for the dots.

For the inside I cut out the wedding ring cut also from sweethearts and the 2 little hearts that were cut outs from the mr. and mrs. cut.

I added stickles to the diamond and silver ink to the rings.

I was so excited to get her this card and she told me how much she loved it!! I will definitely use these little wedding hearts somewhere else they are just toooooo adorable to use once!

****update!!*** Sure enough  I used these again! I made the same card for my cousins bachelorette party! She loved it!

Bee sting card

I made kenzie's dad a card when he got stung by a bee, then we found out he was allergic to bees!

I made him this cuteee little beehive card to make him smile :)

I cut out the beehive and the little bees from the CAC cartridge. I then inked the edges with distress ink in walnut stain, and spritzed it with walnut ink.. I love the way it came out!

I cut the wings out of vellum for the clear effect, added googly eyes and stickles to their antennaes, and stitching and dots on his little stinger.

I gave this one eyelashes to make her a girl :)

I glued the two parts of the hearts together to make the base of the card and it opens upwards..

Mission accomplished... it made him smile :)

Thanks for visiting!

Our First Father's Day Together

This year was my fiance's and my first father's day together. I just recently moved in with him and there is nothing up on the walls yet in our room so I wanted to make him a cute banner for father's day.

I used the Lacy Labels cartridge for the shapes cut at 6" each and Simply Sweet for the letters.

All paper is from The Best of K&Co stack.

Both butterflies are cut from the Serenade cartridge. On the black part of the body I used Diamond glaze to make him shiny and left the wings unglued for dimension.

I used Salmon Pearl Pen for the accents and Star Dust Stickles for the body.

All stamps are from Studio G.

Flower is 3 layers of Prima flowers with a small pastel brad to hold them together and put on a pop dot.

Shoe is from the Sweethearts cartridge and I drew in the laces and white dots.

Bird is also from the Serenade cartridge.

I tied each panel together with a small piece of coordinating ribbon and strung them up on the wall. He LOVED it! :)

Thanks for visiting,

Happy Crafting! :)
