S'mores Anyone?

click here .....Ginger Snap Scraps post

I am so excited to be posting my project for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I pulled out something I haven't used in awhile.  Actually, I had to get some from one of my fellow scrappers while I was on retreat.  Why is it that you can take everything you think you could possibly need....and yet you still seem to need something else?  I needed vellum.  When this idea came to me I thought vellum would be perfect for the jar.  
Did I bring any with me?  
Of course not.  Thanks Doylene!

This weeks challenge is showing a camping project.  I personally have never been camping.  
I know....don't laugh.  A huge joke around work is that my idea of camping is Motel 6.  LOL

So this is what I came up with.

   

Here's what I did:

Card base and arrows - Art Philosophy

Envelope and Liner - Wild Card

Fireflies and Jar - Stretch Your Imagination

Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs, Mustard Seed 

and Black Soot

Patterned paper - Bo Bunny Camp-a-Lot
Card stock, twine and metallic pencil
Sentiment - K Andrews Designs Amazing You

Jar - Doylene's vellum

 Don't forget to go check out the challenge this week at FCCB.  I know that the rest of the design team has created some great inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by!  See you later!

Until then......be safe and create 

Cricut Day

Happy Monday again!  They just seem to come faster together, don't they?  I am home from a great weekend of scrapping with a group of my friends.  And since we only seem to remember to take pictures on Sunday when nobody has done their hair or makeup I will not be posting any of those pictures on the internet.  I would really like to keep my friends.  However, I will show you a picture from our deck.

Pretty nice, huh?  Too bad it was 110 degrees on the deck.  It kept us all inside under the A/C.

Okay, on to my Cricut Day post for 

Ginger Snap Scraps. 

Here is what I used: 

Trunk, sign and branches - Camp Out cartridge

Raccoon - Create a Critter cartridge

Kraft card stock

Bazzill card stock

Bo Bunny - Camp-a-Lot

Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs and Forest Moss

I love my new stamp set from K Andrew Designs.  Being a southern girl, I just had to have her Southern Sayings set.  I have grown up hearing all of the sayings on this set except one.

So glad you could stop by.  Make sure you stop by the Ginger Snap Scraps blog and take a look at what my DT sisters created.  And of course, do some shopping at Ginger Snap Scraps.  I will be back later today to announce the winner of the Winter Distress Inks!  Woo Hoo!

Until then.... be safe and create

My Favorite Things

Happy Monday!  

Today is my day to feature My Favorite Things from Ginger Snap Scraps.  One of my absolute favorite things is Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  I have to make a confession, I have every color made. 

 Do you think maybe I need sort of therapy?  I promise I actually use them.  My wonderful son even made me a storage holder for them.  Right where I can get to them easily.

Back in the beginning of July, I posted featuring the Summer Distress Inks.  Well, today in the spirit of Christmas in July, I am featuring the Winter Distress Inks.  

Supplies used:

Base Card - Cut with CTMH Art Philosophy

Background - Evergreen Bough and Festive Berries

Greenery - Iced Spruce

Grungeboard - Evergreen Bough

Snowflakes - Old Paper Ink and Course Glitter 

Card Base - Bo Bunny Chiffon Double Dot

I hope I have gotten you geared up for making Christmas cards.  

Check out the Ginger Snap Scraps store for  supplies to create your projects.

It will be here sooner than you think.   

To get you started I am giving away a set of the Winter Distress Inks. 

 All you have to do is be a follower on my blog, a follower of Ginger Snap Scraps Blog and leave a comment on this post.

I will select the winner next Monday after our Christmas in July blog hop!

FCCB - Sunny Days #120

Hello, Hello! How is everyone this fine Monday morning?  

Today I am posting for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is to make a project with a yellow sun.  I have to admit there are a lot of suns on the cartridges. It took me quite a while to decide which one to use. 

I did end up using several cartridges for this card. 

Here is the run down of the cartridges used:

Base and Frame - CTMH Art Philosophy

Sun - Just Because Cards

Clouds - Paper Dolls for Everyday

Grass and Branch - Gypsy Wanderings

Fence - Mini Monsters

I used several colors of Tim Holtz 

Distressed Ink:

Background - Tumbled Glass

Clouds - Broken China

Sun - Ripe Persimmon

Grass - Mowed Lawn

Branch - Pine Needles

Flowers - Picked Raspberry

Fence - Gathered Twigs

Base - Mustard Seed

Whew!   

All of the paper used was card stock, 

except for the envelope.  I used a sheet of 

October Afternoon Thrift Shop.

Thanks for checking in today.  

Also, don't forget to head over to 

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and 

see what the design team has cooked up.

You can link your sunny project 

while you are there.  

I look forward to seeing it. 

Be safe...and create!
