Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone,

Happy Friday!  Can you believe September is nearly behind us?  Oh my!  Time is flying.

My oldest baby boy turned 22 years old this week.  I just can not believe how quickly he has gone from a little boy playing on the farm to a wonderful young man with a beautiful loving wife and a sweet little snickerdoodle.  Ahhhh... life is so amazing!



Here is the card I made for him.





I used MME Lost & Found 2
Just Rite Stamps
marker in similar color to paper
Zots Dimensionals cut to size
Cameo - Label for sentiment

I used a marker to ink the stamp in order to match the paper color a little better.

 
I simply cut the images out of the paper and gave them some dimension using zots.
 
 

Thank you for taking the time to drop in ... have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,

Trick or Treat

Hi there! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!
 
 
I have been having fun coloring again!
 

 
This adorable little image is from Penny Black's "Mimi Halloween" stamp set. Isn't she the cutest witch! I stamped her with My Pink Stamper's "Darkest Night" Hybrid ink and she was colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is also from this set. It is part of the treat bag that another image in the set was holding.
 
The papers I used are from My Mind's Eye "Blackbird" Collection and Echo Park's "Chillingsworth Manor." I cut the sheet music from this 6x6 pad. The star and punched border were also from the Blackbird Collection.
 
Everything, except my image, was inked with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I finished off the card with a button and some twine from my stash.

Happy Haunting

Good Morning Friends,

This is DIANA L. from DL.ART I am glad you decided to pop in and see my project
 I had a lot of fun with this card.  I love how the paper pack pulls a card together with all the colors coordinating so well. I have been using this paper pack for a couple of weeks now and I just love it. It is available at SPS for 30% off retail. This is going quick so if you want it, I would suggest you get it and stock up.

I used American Crafts  Card stock in black for my base
Core' dinations in periwinkle for the scalloped background  and the Graphics 45 Happy Haunting collection are all the patterned pieces.


There are still some August kits left. The September kits are going quick in case you have not gotten yours yet. This is quite a deal.  Click on the Shop pumpkin Spice down below to see what is in the kit.

  Shop pumpkin spice has just gotten a whole new shipment of papers, stamps and embellishments in.  Great quality and a great price.  The new Carte Bella Halloween and Christmas papers are in.

October 6 will be our SPS blog hop and I am sure you will want to be part of that. It is a Lot of fun and prizes to be won.

See you next time have a blessed Day,  
                                         DIANA L.

Happy Day!


Hi everyone it's Lenae here from SugarGem! Today I am playing with some Pretty Party from Crate Paper! It's one of my favorite collections. It makes even the simplest projects super cute and the papers feel divine!
This card is really enormous. I don't know how it started, but it ended up being one of the largest cards I've ever made, but I love how it turned out!

Spellbinders Labels four

Thanks for stopping by! 
If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!

"Lost and Found Halloween" Mini Album

Happy Monday everyone. It's Carissa from Happily Ever Paper Crafter.

Today I have a mini album to share with you. I was so inspired by the beautiful Lost and Found Halloween papers by My Mind's Eye. My project started as a card and evolved to a series of cards and then to a mini album. Sometimes I just can't make up my mind.


This album came together really fast and easy. You don't need to over embellish a mini album when the papers are so gorgeous. 

I made a quick video showing all the pages. At the end of the video is a quick little tutorial on how to use a die cut as a stencil with distress ink.
