Milk Carton - Inspiration

There's an inspiration blog-hop going on over at The Cutting Cafe this week. So for this inspiration, I used the Milk Carton digital stamps and the Milk Carton Sentiments. We'll be giving this set away, so be sure and leave a comment on my blog. I'll draw one name by Saturday to win the set. Also, be sure to visit the other designers at The Cutting Cafe, who are participating in the inspiration challenge.
For this challenge, I decided to also create a matching card for the milk carton

Silhouettes - The Cutting Cafe

I was playing with the "Fun With Silhouettes" digital stamp set from The Cutting Cafe and decided to make a wall hanging, using the dress silhouette. I cut the dress in black for a shadow effect, then cut it again in a pink and white pattern. Then, I cut a pink postage stamp from pink card stock, then I embossed it with a CuttleBug folder. The gray piece behind the pink is a piece of Grungeboard, that I painted with Black Magic Glimmer Mist and layered over a piece of black cardstock. I added a quick sentiment and of course ribbon to finish up the design.

You Color My World

I've been wanting to make a wall hanging with positive affirmations to hang on my wall and I've also been collecting chipboard books from Maya Road. Well, I bought another one while at CKC-Houston a couple of weeks ago and decided the wait had been long enough. I started with my glimmer mist paints and painted the chipboard, then I covered it with beautiful black and white pattern papers, each in a different design. I used the You Color My World Sentiments set from The Cutting Cafe for the affirmations, then cut sentiment shapes from the Cricut Lacy Labels cartridges for each sentiment. This was such a fun project; all the ribbons and bling. It's going to be perfect on my wall.

A Busy Bee

There are so many wonderful, new and fun products available; I've been playing with as many of them as I can. Last week I purchased a couple of Smoochs, a few bottles of Tattered Angels, lots of chipboard flowers and ink pads. I've been using them for layouts, cards and altered projects. I'm glad you all can't see my eyes; if you could see them, you'd think I haven't slept in days. To be honest, I haven't. But, who needs sleep, when there are so many fun products out there, waiting to be played with. Here are a few of the things I've been working on. As always TFSB. The pull-out card from the pocket has a birthday sentiment on it. The chipboard flowers and kraft paper envelope were painted with Tattered Angels.

I found this cute tin can at Archiver's and just had to alter it.

Did I mention I also ordered some stamps from Verve Stamps? Love them.

It's never to early to start thinking of Christmas

Fall is here and I made a couple of fun layouts for Sunday Night Layouts at By Design Scrapbook Boutique.

Girls night out with my mother and sister. Don't you just love the Prima flowers?

MyVerve stamps are getting plenty of use.

I was playing with the new Ranger embossing powder.

Card Pattern - Challenge #4

What a great sketch Card Patterns has for this week; so much fun. I wanted to do something other than a card, so I created this 5x7 scrapping journal. The papers are so bright, vibrant and fun to work with and the journal is functional. I will be using it to keep track of my cropping projects.

Church Fan Anyone

Growing up in the baptist church, you always see ladies with pretty hats, lacy handkerchiefs, beautiful shawls and eye-catching church fans. I think the fans are more for looking at and less for keeping you cool. I had some pink and black pattern paper left, I liked it so much I thought, I have to make something else, so I made a "church" fan. I'll have to test it out on Sunday, stay tuned...

"K"

Simply stated, "K"; my initial and name to some. I've been holding on to this letter K for a while, trying to decide what to do with. Low and behold, I've gotten into painting, especially Lumiere paints. I put the two together, plus some pattern paper, added a little bling and what do you know, an altered K. Isn't it fabulous.

Airplanes

I know this is not a card or a layout, but I guess it could be considered a paper crafting project. My son had to submit a futuristic model plan as a part of a science project. He came up with the draft and I told him that he could use my supplies. Well, I didn't consider the fact that he'd want to make such an elaborate model, but I think he enjoyed putting it together. I was going to help him, but we didn't exactly see eye-to-eye on what needed to be done, so I took a backseat and just passed the supplies when he asked.

He was very pleased and proud, so was I. I think he did a fantastic job.

Decorated Clipboard

I bought a small clipboard, some pretty paper and my favorite, ribbon. Here's what I came up with.

My Space

I have a new scrapbook room, which I absolutely love, and I thought I would make a pretty plaque to hang on the wall. Just looking at my plaque, makes me enjoy my space all the more. Isn't it pretty?
