Practical Scrappers

I was featured today on Practical Scrappers :) 

a little wonky

okay, I don't know whats up with my blog....why is it all unbalanced now...and why can't I fix it? Its time to wipe it all and start from the beginning. Hopefully by the end of the day I will have a "new" blog :)

~this blog is now a construction zone~ 




edited*  Oh....so glad thats fixed! Its wasn't even hard! :) 

A couple challenges

Just a few challenges real quick....(from MyScraps) 

This is a sketch {or my version of said sketch :) } 

Is it just me, or does this LO remind you of the sun setting over the ocean???

Okay so maybe I'm crazy, but thats what I am seeing 8}

This is a quote challenge, I had to use "Simple Pleasures are Priceless Treasures" 

My Scraps DT Call

Just finished up my entry for the MyScraps DT call.

The LO was based on this recipe:

M…use products from your favorite Manufacturer
Y…yellow - got to have a little of the color somewhere on your layout
S…sewing - either with a machine or hand stitching, get that needle going!
C…circles – include at least one on your layout
R…ribbon – pull some out of your stash and use it here
A… All About You!
P…punch – use at least one on your page
S…style – make a layout that shows yours!

Lets see....M: my fave manufacturers... Well I have lots :), here we have some Sassafrass Lass, Jeni Bowlin, a little Hambly, even some October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket. 

Y: Yellow...yep got some yellow :) 

R: ribbon....a bit of cream color ball trim/ribbon

S: sewing, decided I didn't want a machine sewed look on this, so I did some hand sewing. I sewed on the two black buttons with silver thread, and I sewed down the corners of the photo strip. 

A: all about you...check!

P: Punch, you can see the treading water punch peaking out above. 

C: circles..... a few small circles peeking out, from the notebook paper, the toad stool below is also on a circle.  {the toad stool is coated in glossy accents, so its raised in person} 

and S: style...... well, Its hard to do one LO that encompasses my style, as it really depends on the paper. So I did some of my favorite things....... fussy cutting, layering, mixing designers, hand sewing. 

{as always, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger} 

the one that didn't make it.....

Working on a DT call....this is the LO that I started to make for the call...but it just wasn't what I wanted. I still like it, just not the right one :)

Sneakie Peek

I just finished up my cards for the next release of Sketches2Cards for the iphone, ipad or ipod touch. I can't share my cards, yet....but I can give you a few little sneaks :) 

As soon as the app is released I will get my cards up here to share :) 

easter baskets

Just some quick, and fun paper crafted easter baskets :) 

Made with BG Nook and Pantry 

I am searching for the tutorial I used to make this basket, but can't find it :( hopefully I will be able to update this soon with a link! 

True Scrap Giveaway!

Head over to Craftgossip for a chance to win a ticket to True Scrap!

Its Official! Eye Candy! & Loot♥

Okay, its official....I am calling my crafty Hiatus to an end! Its been a long few months getting the kids school into a great routine {we made some HUGE changes this year to our homeschooling} And I can no longer stand not being crafty! I miss the glitter all over my clothes, the paint on my fingers, and the deadlines of design teams {yes, I know....crazy lady misses deadlines.....they give me a push♥}

So here is a kick off to the end of the break...... I finally get to share the LOs that I created for Sketches2scrapbook {and awesome ipad app created by the talented Anam Stubbington}

You will have to check out the app to get all the yummy sketches :) I did take a sneaky little break from all craftiness in January..... I had the honor of working with Anam again and making a card for the newest version of her app, Sketches4cards 

To help get my mojo going again, I scored a rawkin giveaway {can't find a link to the blog that hosted this giveaway...so sorry, if you are out there, please let us know} from the Nicole Lombardo Esty Shop

Tried to get some pics of my loot, but my black table was not the best backdrop....trust me its awesome! I got a huge assortment of  diecuts, some as big as 12x12...at least $50 worth of product, even some fun rhinestone scrolls. Can't wait to get scrappy with these! 

....:P

Wow, I can't believe that I haven't posted on here since the end of August! The beginning of the school year really threw me for a loop. I am finally on top of everything  now, will soon be moved into our new home and setting up my new scrappy space. I am itching to get back to work, I need to paint or glitter something!

I do have one project that I haven't shared, because it was still in the secret stages ♥ I had the honor of working on Sketches2scrapbook. This is a new iphone app, hopefully releasing in November, created by Anam Stubbington. I got to work with two of her beautiful sketches, my art will be on the app as inspiration for the corresponding sketches.

Hopefully I will soon have some new art to put up on here :)

September Elite kit preview

Drum roll please................................

the September 2010 Scrapbookheaven Elite Kit

these amazing kits are on pre-sell and are almost sold out! 

The kit is designed to be a minibook kit, but I did layouts using the beautiful chipboard.

{cardstock is from my stash, not the kit}

this page was inspired by one of my hubby's books, you never know were you will find inspiration :)

I stamped the kraft paper with several different stamps and inks.

you can see a pic of the books cover HERE 

This LO is the sample for my challenge this month.... each month every DT member posts a challenge in the forum. This month I am challenging you to use the same picture on your LO more than one time. I will have several examples up on the boards, hopefully tomorrow :)
