Make It Monday-Embossing

I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend. We broke a high temperature record here. It was 97 degrees! I made this card for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. The polka dots and sentament are heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I think its very shabby chic. Enjoy!

Make It Mondays

Its Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink today. The challenge today is make glitter strips using Score Tape. I just recently discovered score tape. I have to say I'm hooked. I really love it. I use it for glitter, ribbons, buttons, and small pieces of paper. I was thrilled when I saw today’s challenge. I already had all my glitter and glitter supplies out. I have been making Glittered Spring Butterflies to add to my shop.(coming soon). The second I started to watch the Make it Monday video I knew what I was going to make. I am now happily covered in glitter!
*I have not been compensated in any way for this post. I'm just hoping to win stamps! ;)

Celebrate

Time to celebrate the weekend is here! Papertrey Ink is still having an anniversary party! The challenge this time was to make a tag with a frame. I used my favorite color scheme: cream, aqua, and pink. I feel I have a lot to celebrate this weekend. Like the near 70 degree temps we will be having. YAY! Also my family is coming over for Sunday dinner to celebrate my birthday that is on Monday.

Supplies

Paper: Vintage cream (PTI) Making Memories-Je t'adore

A Color Challenge

I adore color combinations. Color is what often inspires me. Papertrey Ink is still having their 4th Anniversary celebration. They are have so many awesome give aways! Today their challenge is all about color combos. I have to admit it got me out of my comport zone! 

More PTI

Oh my! There is another contest on Papertrey Ink today. They gave away 9 circle downloads for free! You can enter a project with each image for a chance to win a prize. I made this on an anniversary card because its PTI 4th anniversary. I really hope to do all nine but I have a super bowl party to go to. Looking forward to some home cooked Texas ribs! Yum! I think its strange how different the cards I have been making are from my normal style. I NEVER use white and I used it on my last two cards. I also distress ink everything to death and have not with these. Hopefully I will be back with more cards today. I will be crafting during "the game". I only like the super bowl for the food and commercials!

It Must Be Christmas

It must be Christmas and I must have been a very good girl to get all this! This is the magical goodness that I got from my sweet Vintage Stocking swap partner Christine. She sent everything you see besides the tinsel trees. I had stacked some suitcases and placed the tinsel trees on top with a vintage doily and burlap. I knew the corner needed more, especially since the wall was blank. But, I just have not had time to make anything. Now I don't have too! Its like a fairy decorated for me. Even better that I could have done myself! I love it so much that I'm waiting till Christmas to see whats in the stocking and open the gifts. I will share with you when I do open them! Can you believe the stocking?! I will cherish it forever. What a lucky girl I am! You must go see Christine's blog. Its so lovely. She is a fabulous photographer. And an amazing swap partner!

Well, I did another The Pink Stamper Challenge. This one was to make A Christmas or winter themed card or scrapbook page. I made this card using the Cricut cartridege: Celebrate with a Flourish. I cut the word out then used Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel to coat it. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the green. The ledger paper is from The Girl's Paperie- Tinsel & Twig. I bought the Cardinal sticker at Michaels. I'm not sure what brand it is. I love how glossy and shiny the letters are. In the future I will do a tutoral on how to it.

A Challenge

I have seen so many "create this" challenges and never have the time to submit anything to them. Well in the coming year I'm going to make it a priority. It just seems so fun and well....challenging. Plus I get to share with you how I made something. I though I would start with this challenge at The Pink Stamper. It was a color challenge. Use two colors of pink, two of blue, and black. Since aqua and pink are my fav color combo I just had to try it. Here is what I used to make it:

Black cardstock cut at 6x 12 then folded in half

2 Colors of aqua cardstock

Pink cardstock

Stickles

Martha Stewart Holly punch

Gem stones

Martha Stewart clear glitter

Cuttlebug Embossing folders

Cricut Cartridge Give A Hoot

I will have more details about what I use in future projects.I will make sure to have the brand and name of everything I use. I even hope to start making video tutorials for you.
