Scrapbook Blessings Club Challenge Sunday!

So glad all of you joined me today! I created an awesome project for the current challenge over at Scrapbook Blessings Club. Our theme is "Love is in the Air." The team created ATC cards to share with you...well, that is way out of my comfort zone and I really did not know what I was going to do with such a card. Well, I spent the last month at my sister's house in North Carolina helping her get settled in her new house. The main reason I went was she asked me to design, create, and decorate her first ever scrapbook room. I had a blast and we took some awesome pictures of the two of us. So, my ATC card is going to be used as a title on a layout of pictures of my sister's scrap room!

Tip: When creating something outside of your comfort

zone create something you will use in your own crafting.

So head on over to the Scrapbook Blessings Club and see what all the other team members created to inspire your "love is in the air" themed crafting. Make sure you join us in the challenge that is going on until 2/15. Can't wait to see what my followers can do!

Special incentive...if you are a follower of my blog and you enter a creation in the Scrapbook Blessings Club challenge I will draw for a little prize from those from the entries that follow me. Thanks for playing along with me.

 

 

Cuttin' and Stampin' Design Team 2014

 

January 31, 2014

 

Can you believe Cuttin' and Stampin' Challenge Blog has been going for over a year now? It has gone by so fast and we have had so much fun creating and sharing projects with you.  Starting the first of the year we decided to make a few changes.  These changes include bringing you different types of projects, and to do that we needed increase the number of members on the team.  We also decided to split the team in to two.

We hope you will all enjoy the great new variety of project you are about to see from the Green team. 

 

 

Now it's time to Meet the rest of the Green Team.  They are an awesome bunch of women and I'm sure you will enjoy what they have to show you.  But first, let me share with you my creation. We were to show our style for the blog hop. Well, part of my style is I love to create home décor projects. I have been away from home for the past month and have not had a whole lot of time to create. I was enlisted to design, create, and decorate my sister's first ever scrapbook room in her brand new house. So, my home décor project is a sign to hang in her room.

 

Supplies Used:
Clearanced Picture Frame (painted it pink)
Recollections Pink Patterned Paper
A little crown (purchased at Michael's)
Black Cardstock
Black Satin Ribbon
Large White flower
Queen and Co. Black and Pink flowers
Silhouette

Holiday Card Series: 52 Thursdays of Christmas...#1

Hello all, I am beginning this holiday card series. A little late but better late than not at all. I came up with this idea several weeks ago and could not wait to get started on it. However, I am staying at my sister's house in North Carolina for a month and well things have been a bit busy...pair that with a brand new computer and its little glitches and you have the reason this video was late. So, with all that said this is last Thursday's video...todays will be forthcoming either today or tomorrow and then I hope to get on track! Hope you enjoy...please head over to my brand new YouTube channel and watch and subscribe. Get inspired and get started on those Christmas projects early so you are calm, collected, and have everything done when those busy months of the year arrive...at least that is my plan! LOL!

 

 

Supplies Used:
Bo Bunny Elf Magic 6x6 Paper Pad
C.C. Designs "Rodney Reindeer"
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
Acrylic Block
Red Seam Binding
Tombo Adhesive Tape Runner
Amy R. "Joyful Greetings" Stamps
Flowers were made by my good friend Gini ...she will take custom orders...just leave me a message and I will get with you should you want to purchase any.
