Earlier this month my grandson celebrated his 10th birthday. We had a wonderful little family pool party but wanted to give him a themed party still, so we pulled the inspirations from this month's card kit and put on a totally fantastic bubble party!  Including floating rubber duckies in the pool!

I was in charge of making the banner! I loved how it turned out!

It's A Mermazing Monday #mermazingmonday

Hi, Welcome to my blog today. If you didn't see the past few days blog posts go check them out. I organized a hashtag "Under the Sea" hop. I had so much fun that I decided I wanted to continue. 

So, if you decide you want to dive in...and join just use the hashtag #mermazingmonday on your post whether it be Instagram, Youtube, or a blog. 

Most of all have fun! 

So, this was a very busy day for me...I did not get in my craft room to craft until 9pm tonight! Yikes... so unlike me. Anyhow, I am not making as fast a progress on the banner as I wanted to. It will be finished by next Monday and I will show it in full detail.

Here is the next panel.

Supplies Used:

Authentique: Sea Maiden 6x6 Paper Pad

Under the Sea Hashtag Hop #Saturdayunderthesea

Hello my crafty friends. I am back for Day 3 of the Under the Sea hop. I have had such a blast the past 3 days making my mermaid panels for the hop. I did not even begin to touch all of my beautiful mermaids. So, since I have not I decided while lying in bed last night (trying to go to sleep...that is when these bright ideas hit me!) to do Mermazing Mondays on my blog for the month of August. Yes each Monday I will have a blog post showcasing something "Mermazing". If you would like to join in, leave a comment below or email me @ teresa@scrappingforless.com, I will create a graphic and we can use the hashtag #MermazingMondaysinAugust. 

Ok onto my two panels for today...Final Reveal of the Banner will be the post on Monday so you will need to come back to see it completed then!

Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog: Guest Designer

I am thrilled once again to be a guest designer at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. I  absolutely love sequins! In fact I love them so much they are a component in each and every collection in our Flavor of the Month card kit over at Scrapping for Less. I partnered with Michelle, from Kennedy Grace Creations to supply all the sequins for our card kits. So, this week I am giving away a package of sequins from KG. 

Today, I have created a cute card using a stamp from a beloved company!  I absolutely adore La La Land Stamps! I am obsessed right now with mermaids and sequins! Sparkly and shiny is all the rage right now! Shaker cards are a huge trend in card making. 

Supplies:

La La Land Mermaid Marci

Papers from my stash

Sentiment stamp: Paper Smooches

Sequins

Until Later,

Use Your Stuff: With a Star Wars Theme!

Hello my crafty friends! I am up today as a guest designer over at the Use your Stuff Challenge Blog! I am so excited to have been asked to be a guest designer this month.

Check us out at Scrapping for Less. This week I have a prize of some Nuvo Glitter drops:Midnight Sky...Cause this reminded me of the galaxy sky that I created on my box pop up card that I have to share with you.

Here is my project that I have to share with you today. I created a pop up box birthday card with a space galaxy theme.

Supplies Used:

Prima Watercolor 6x6 Paper Pad

Distress Inks to create a galaxy background on the paper: chipped sapphire, mustard seed, wilted violet, and pine needles

A Better view of the galaxy background. This is the top down view.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my box pop up card. I totally enjoyed creating it and using products that tend to sit around until I get ready to use them. 

Until Later,

Teresa

Scrapping for Less: Grand Opening Blog Hop!

Hello All!

Happy Saturday! We are so excited to bring you a blog hop celebrating the opening of scrappingforless.com ! We wanted to do something fun for you all as you are the best customers under the sun and have helped make this dream a reality.

So before we get busy hopping we need to let you all know a few bits of information for this new site.

·         All items that are on the website are what we consider “leftovers” which means they are not new to any of you that order through the FaceBook Group on a regular basis.

·         Scrappingforless.com will be available 24 hours, 7 days a week so that you can go shopping AND you can check out as well with a credit card or PayPal whichever method you prefer.

·         scrappingforless.com WILL NOT be replacing Scrapping For Less FaceBook Group, so if you are looking for Scrap Supplies at less than retail prices the FaceBook Group is STILL the place where all the pre-order albums will be listed.

There will be lots of fun games, prizes and scrappy things going on Saturday with the Facebook Event. You will want to be there. Each blog will have a small giveaway with the Scrapping for Less blog having a bigger one. To be eligible to win each blog's prize you will need to comment on the individual blogs but to win the Scrapping for Less prize you will need to comment on each blog and the SFL blog. So try to be there! You are going to want to join in on the fun!


Each one of the blog hop participants has created something using older products they purchased from Scrapping for Less. Since the focus of the website will be to sell what I term as "leftovers" yet fabulous and great products we have focused on those items we as crafters seem to purchase and then hoard. Cause who would not want to use up their stash, right?



I want to showcase a cute Halloween card...I tend to hoard Doodlebug items and this Halloween collection is no exception...I used the super cute    to create these cards! There are lots of Doodlebug items listed for sale over on the website...not this one but I am sure you will find something you like!

Supplies Used:

Doodlebug Ghouls and Goodies 6x6 Pad

Doodlebug Orange and White Twine

La La Land Dragon Luka Stamp

Copic Markers

Jillibean Soup Witches Brew Pea Pod Parts

Cardstock from my very large stash! 

I have been hanging on to these items for quite a while! LOL!

And then a Christmas card....and even better this paper pad is for sale over at the website!
