Hello Crafters! I have a fantastic review for you today over at Scrapbook Blessings Club! It is a super great product...you get fabulous results and guess what? Something all of us crafters would like to find...the products are great yet inexpensive.
TIP: Don't be afraid to try something new that may look like it is out of your comfort zone!
Anyhow, I started with some watercolor paper and printed out a digital image on it. I taped it to my wooden cutting board, and started watercoloring with this fabulous product.
Here is my image...then I will let you know a bit about the products. Stay tuned for my post on Sunday where I will take this image and create my challenge project with it.
Super cute...I promise to have a much better photograph on Sunday.
These are the two products I used.
Artist Loft Watercolors (28)...purchased from Michael's...they were 8.99
Pearlescent Watercolors...also purchased from Michael's...they were 6.99
I really liked both of these products...it was so much fun to watercolor with the brush. Also you could create the shading you want on your image just by controlling the amount of water you put on your brush. The Pearlescent colors gave a beautiful shine to the goldfish that is certainly hard to see in the picture. I will definitely be reaching for both of these products more often.
Thanks for joining me here today. Make sure to check out the challenge over at the SBC blog.

My Tip: Sentiments do not always have to be on the outside.
I love how this card turned out. And I used mostly scraps to create it! Woo Hoo!
It is our monthly card kit reveal time. Scrapbook Blessings Club is joining up with Scrapping For Less, and we are bringing you affordable Mini CARD KITS!!!

It is perfect for all levels of scrapbookers! So whether you are a newbie or an experience scrapper, these kits has everything you'll need to create fast and easy projects. All you need to do is get out your scissors, paper trimmer and adhesive.
Why card kits? A couple reasons, one is getting fabulous papers and embellishments from popular Scrapbooking Companies, without buy a ton that you never use and letting it all just sit in the drawer.
The second is cost. I am a frugal scrapbooker and affordability is always high on my list. It is not always easy to spend $30- $50 on a kit. Our kits will be $15.00 which INCLUDES shipping! And lastly is convenience, with these kits, there is no guess work in getting papers to coordinate along with embellishments and fabrics, etc.
Who doesn't love fun and affordable--papers, flowers, chalk inks, brads, chalkboard, stamps, buttons.. more!! Every month you get something a little different!

It is Challenge time over at Scrapbook Blessings Club! Thanks for stopping by and joining us! The sponsor of this wonderful challenge is A Day for Daisies. They are offering a digital stamp to one lucky winner of this challenge. You get an additional entry if you use one of the challenges from April-June. I used one in June where it was just to use a digital image and color it using your choice of medium.
So, I got out my Spectrum-Noir alcohol markers and colored this beautiful image in bright summer colors to match my paper.
Tip: Just keep practicing with those alcohol markers if you are new to this medium like I am.
Supplies:
A Day for Daisies Summer Breeze Digital Stamp
Bo Bunny Lemonade Stand Papers
Amy R. Sunny Sentiment Stamp Set
flower was just random from my stash
Hello everyone. Can you believe it's the last week of June? Where did the time go?
Are you ready to celebrate the USA's birthday? It's always a big day around our place. Starting with a big breakfast and parade. Lots of family gathering for the afternoon and into the evening. Then a great fireworks show to end the night. To help kick off the festivities Cuttin' and Stampin' is creating 4th of July cards/projects.
The design team is using Pebbles Americana paper collection and stamp set this week.
6x6 paper pack Journaling Cards
Stamp set Chipboard Pieces
Sharing two layouts with you today....still working on catching up in those family albums. 4th of July is my second favorite holiday to scrapbook. Maybe cause in my family those are the two biggest holidays we celebrate together as a family.
Head on over to the Cuttin' and Stampin' blog to see other 4th of July inspiration! Be sure to enter the challenge also!
I am a wife, mother, and grandma of 9... 8 boys and 1 very lovely, spoiled granddaughter. I absolutely love to share my love of the craft of cardmaking and sometimes scrapbooking with others. Hope you can get crafty today!
Super cute...I promise to have a much better photograph on Sunday.
