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

Copic Markers

Some Random Die Cuts that were in my stash.

Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banner Dies

Mermaid and Home Decor'

Hello my crafty friends! I am here today to share with you a little bit of an obsession this summer! I am obsessed with mermaids! What a lovely and mythical thing to be obsessed with, right? Well I purchased this die set from Little B...(from Scrapping for Less of course) You can shop two places...the Facebook Group or the Website! If you would like to purchase this die just let me know and I can get it ordered for you!


So, I decided to decorate this little chalkboard that hangs in my scrapbook room with the dies I cut out from this die set.

Funny story about this chalkboard: In March my daughter who lives in Oregon was here for a visit...one day she graciously helped me do some reorganizing in my scrapbook room. I said "I need to put up a new quote." To which she replied let me...so of course I did...and she wrote and drew without letting me see it and then hung it back up! I squealed with delight at how fitting and adorable! 

This photo does not do it justice at all!

Photos of the Dies: The back of the die packages shows that you can paper piece and use different colors with the die however I found that pretty difficult to do so I just used some shimmer paper I had and cut them all out with a solid color.

 

Anyhow even though I couldn't figure out how to paper piece lots of nice dies to use on all those summer ocean and beach themed cards. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

A Little Something

Thankful Thought: So happy that I  save things on my phone... you know just in case.

So today's project is something I created sometime ago for a wedding present. I took a clock I purchased and took it apart and gave it a new look. I used some pattern paper in my stash,  some sticker numbers and colored some sweet little Marci images to adorn the face of the clock.

Please forgive the lighting of the photo...I know it is not the best.

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
