What Makes Me Happy

This month our challenge at Crafty Chicas is to share what makes us happy!

My life lately hasn't shown me a lot of happiness. It was very good for me to think about all the things that make me happy. There are lots of things that make me smile and bring me happiness. 

My children are the main things in my life that make me smile.

This was an exercise in finding other things besides them. Each little rectangle is packed with all those things. It is packed with pink. Pink is my favorite color, so I had to include plenty of pink.

I hope this inspires each of you to think about all the things in your life that make you smile.  

Make sure you join our monthly challenge and share those things that make you smile with us!  

SMILE~~

Give Thanks

Well with Thanksgiving right around the corner everyone is thinking about what they are Thankful for.

There are so many things in my life that I have not been thankful for lately, that it is very good to stop and think about the things I SHOULD be thankful for.

So let me say this...I am thankful for my children, my friends, my family and my puppies.

There are many other things too, but those are the biggies!!

This beautiful Cornucopia was cut using the ProvoCraft Cricut using Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. The Give Thanks was cut using the Designer's Calendar cartridge and the apples were cut using the My World cartridge.

The flowers and leaves are Prima. They are sprayed with Smooch Spritz. The centers are Viva Decor Pearl Pen in bronze.

The letters are covered with a thin layer of Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

BE THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL NO LONGER BE PART OF YOUR LIFE!!

KINDERSTAMPO GUEST DESIGNER FOR TODAY

Today I am the guest designer over at Kinderstampo. I am very happy to be featured today.

This is a little mini-album I created for her.

I used Jillibean paper. It is made using only 1 sheet of 12x12 paper! It's really easy.

You score the paper at 3", 6" and 9" in one direction. Then rotate the paper 90 degrees and score it at 2", 6" and 10". Cut along the 6" line (on the 2/6/10 side) up to the 9" line. Fold at the 2" and the 10" line to make the pockets.


I used the Kinderstampo- Grungy Inspiration stamps to make the little tickets.

The tickets were cut using the Cricut- using the Mickey Font at 2" in length.

I used Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher to attach the tickets to the tags.

The little pearl swirls are from Zva Creations.

The little clip on the front is from K&Co.

All the inking was done with Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads- Vintage Photo and Forest Moss.

I used my ATG to hold the pockets and to attach the two center pieces together to make the middle of the booklet.


This is such a cute and easy project. Think of it as a baby gift or grandma's brag book! I am going to make several of these as gifts this year.

ENJOY

Monster Mash Lighted Canvas

I was so excited when Maggie said she wanted to post my Monster Mash canvas on her blog- Passionately Artistic.

This was a really fun canvas to make. I was walking around the store looking at the Halloween decorations the other day and saw a lighted sign. It was $20+ and I thought...gee I can make that, and it will be cuter and cheaper!

Well once it was done and I plugged it in to look at it, I was very thrilled with the results. One of my fellow crafters commented that the lights look like creepy fingers with orange nails.

But, I think the best compliment was when I showed it to my 14 yo son and he said- "OOoh I like that, can I have it." I am going to make him a lighted canvas, but he can't have this one.

I hope you find some inspiration to create a lighted canvas of your own.

STEPS:

1.) Paint the edges of the canvas with black acrylic paint. Sides and 1" in all the way around.

2.) Cut the paper to 11"x12". Use Beacon 3-in-1 adhesive to attach the paper to the canvas. I then used a brayer to roll it out to make sure it was flat.

3.) Cut and assemble Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein with the Cricut using the Happy Hauntings cartridge at 7"

4.) Cut grass at 1/2", fence at 2", a spider at 2 1/2", a spider at 2" and Monster Mash title at 3 1/2" (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE THE HEIGHT)

5.) Cut hand at 1 1/2" in green and 2" in black- I attached the black hand flat to the paper and bent the green hand up so it looks like the black is a shadow of the green hand

6.) I used the Distress Inks and Gelly Roll pens to accent the images.

7.) Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein are attached using foam dimentional tape.

8.) I used a hot glue gun to attach the lights to the back of the canvas.

Supply list:

11"x13" Stretched Canvas

Black Acrylic paint

Piece of Halloween Paper-Die Cuts With A View- Midnight Spell stack

50 Miniature Indoor/Outdoor Lights

Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue sticks

Cricut with Happy Hauntings Cartidge and

Bazzill Solid Cardstock

Basic Grey- Bling It Rhinestones- Spider Web

Ranger Inc- Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads

Sakura Ink- Stardust Gelly Roll pens

Adhesives: Beacon 3-in-1, Foam dimentional tape, hot glue

Sketches in Thyme-DT Sketch

I have recently discovered how fun sketches can be. This sketch is from Sketches in Thyme. I did this one in hopes of being chosen for their Design Team.

Here is the sketch they have asked us to use. You too can apply to be a SIT Maven. Click on the link above for details.

There are trials and times in your life where you find out who your true friends really are. I have been going through some things in my life and my friends have been my strength.

Melissa and I have been through some ups and downs in our friendship, but it has proven to stand the trials. In honor of our friendship this is my take on this great sketch. I think it came out pretty.

I used the Girls' Paperie by Margie - Paper Girl line. The shaped patterned paper, vintage buttons, clocks, rose, charm and little word stickers are all from this line. The solid cardstock is from Bazzill. The dotted patterned paper is Serendipity-"Scrumptious"- Coconut Cream. The ribbon is from my stash.

The title is cut with the Cricut using the Billionaire cartridge. The inking is using Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Vintage Photo. The flower and clocks have been sprayed with Smooch Spritz- Vanilla Shimmer.

I used my ATG gun and Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive.

Shaped Card Challenge-The Collectors Cut

I am very excited to share with all of you that I was asked to join in the fun over at The Collectors Cut blog. We will be making two projects a month over there. All the projects are using the Cricut machine. We are hoping to get more use out of the cartridges we have and to inspire some of our crafty friends to get out their Cricuts and use all those wonderful cartridges you own that are collecting dust!!

The challenge this time was to make a SHAPED CARD.

I decided to use a cartridge I had not used yet for my own personal goal of using all my cartridges in 2011, and I chose Wild Card.

I cut out the quote bubble card. Then I flipped it and cut it again, because I didn't use double sided paper! I glued the two together so there was pretty paper on the inside.

I used the EK-Success flower punch on the owl in the center of the card and the Stampin-Up Banner punch on the little guy on the bottom right.

I love to ink and I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in Vintage Photo.

The words are also cut from the Cricut using the font on Wild Card. I welded it using my Gypsy before cutting at 1".

I used Helmar Acid Free Adhesive to put it all together.

The paper is from Target in the Dollar Spot. It is all from the new owl fall pack. It was purchased only a couple of weeks ago! It is SOOOOooo cute!

Get out your long lost cartridges and start crafting!!

KINDERSTAMPO GUEST DESIGNER BLOG HOP!

I am soooo excited to have been selected as a Guest Designer for Kinderstampo!!

I can't wait to share my creations with all of you and to get to know some new crafty ladies!!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself!!

LIVE:

For me living is all about my family. I have 3 wonderful kids and they are the most important people in my lives. I try to tell them I love them everyday. My life would not be complete without their wonderful faces to brighten my day!!

CRAFT:

Crafting is my passion. I have been a crafty person since I was a child. My mother was the Brownie leader and always doing some kind of crafting thing. I have dabbled in so many things! Cross-stitch, needlepoint, macrame, jewelry making, knitting, sewing, altered art, scrap booking, card making....I am sure I have missed so many of them. Crafting is something that I just couldn't do without in my life! It has given me strength when I thought the world was crumbling around me and it has given me purpose when I have had none! Crafting is such a fabulous and important part of my life. I also am very passionate about sharing all things crafty with my friends and well...let's face it just about anyone that will listen! LOL! I hope that I can share some of that passion with you!!

INSPIRE:

So many things in my life inspire me. I find inspiration in nature and the world around me. I find inspiration in the many talented friends I have. Life in general is where I find my inspiration. I have been going through some rough things recently and I have been trying to find inspiration wherever I can and I have found that it is always out there if you open your heart and mind to it....you will find it!

Thursday Night Sketch- Chica's Gettin' Crafty

So, here is the sketch for tonight! You can check out the other Design Team take on this fun sketch at the Chica's Gettin' Crafty blog.

HERE IS MY TAKE ON TONIGHT'S SKETCH:

Sept NSSS Weekend Challenges

Had a fun time this weekend with my peeps from NSSS!! They have been my friends through thick and thin for years now! A couple times of year we do a weekend of challenges. This past week was that weekend. So, while I was at a local crop I got these two projects done.

Card using a card sketch she provided for us. I used scraps from one of the girls at the crop I was at. The buttons are from a baggie of buttons I got at the Goodwill last week. I used Beacon adhesive to attach the buttons and ATG for the paper.

This layout is also using a sketch the hostess this time provided. I love these photos and I think this came out so cute. The patterned paper and the word strip are from We R Memory Keepers. The solid cardstock is from scrap. The tickets are from Tim Holtz and inked around the edges with Distress Ink. The dots on the green are Viva Decor Pearl Pens. I used pop dots for the tickets and the title strip, ATG for the paper and Helmar Acid Free glue for the photos. I find that you need to use liquid glue to attach things to the glitter paper.

Scrap Challenge Mini Tag Album

Today I wanted to share a cute Mini-Album I did about my girlfriends. It was for the Chica's Gettin' Crafty blog monthly challenge.

You should get out your scraps and get crafty and enter the challenge. There is a great CTMH package of goodies to be won!!

Hippo Birdies Two Ewes Birthday Card

I am making some birthday cards for my friend Teresa to give to her fellow teachers. Every year she gives out more then 70 cards, so I started last year helping her make them. Here's another of my creations.

I got the inspiration for this card from when I was growing up. I remember this saying from a card I received and it popped into my head, so I thought it would make a cute card.

SUPPLIES:

Hippo- Cricut cut- Animal Kingdom cartridge

Birdies- Cricut cut- Paper Pups cartridge

Ewes- Cricut cut- Winter Frolic cartridge

Sentiment- Cricut cut- Cherry Limeade cartridge

Paper- Kaiser Craft, Best Creation Inc and Bazzill

Ink- Tim Holtz/Ranger Inc.- Distress Ink- Faded Jeans

Glittery Highlights- Sakura Jelly Roll-Stardust pens

Adhesive- Helmar Art & Hobby Adhesive

I have entered this card in the following challenges (check them out!):

Easy Craft Projects -photo inspiration

Creations by GillM -anything that flies

If The Shoe Fits- Scrap It -Jungle Book inspired

Forever Friends -Include an animal

LESSology DT Application Project

I found the request for LESSology DT members on the Scrapbook Call Blog. I checked it out and decided I would give it a try!

I love making all kinds of repurposed projects.

So this is the project I put together. It is a canvas that I found at the Goodwill. I covered it with the Alice In Wonderland Halloween paper. Then I took an old costume and cut it up and made the fabric flowers that are along the edge. The centers of the flowers are old buttons cut off a dress. This project is a total Upcycle!!

The title I got from the Alice in Wonderland story. When Alice is at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, the Dormouse recites...

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat,
How I wonder what you're at:
Up above the world you fly
Like a tea tray in the sky,
Up above the world you fly
Like at tea tray in the sky.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat,
How I wonder what you're at:
Up above the world you fly
Like a tea tray in the sky.

Use 3-5 pieces, put them together. Use a needle and thread and sew a button in the center. This will also help hold the flower together. These buttons are ones from an old dress!

To get the pieces of thin material to look all wrinkly, you melt it over a candle. Be very careful it doesn't catch on fire. It is very easy to make these flowers!

I cut up a skirt from an old Halloween costume. I cut it into squares and then a circle, then to look like little flowers. You don't have to be perfect because you can make them look like you want when you do the next step, with the melting.

SUPPLIES:

Viva Decor Pearl Pens and Glitter Liners- accents and to attach the vintage buttons

Vintage Buttons

Repurposed 12x12 Canvas

Repurposed black costume

Repurposed buttons from an old dress

This is something I hope he will remember when he grows up, because this was some very special times with just him and me.
