Twine Tuesday

Good Morning....

It is such a beautiful Tuesday morning.  I wanted to show you my baby shower card featuring twine from The Twinery from Ginger Snap Scraps. 

Don't you just love the cute little puppy dog? 

You can find him on the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge.

This adorable little boy paper is from the Snips and Snails line from Doodlebug. 

 I apologize, I incorrectly stated it was from Echo Park on the GSS blog.

You know both companies have such adorable papers you can't go wrong with either one!

I also used my new Tim Holtz Spring Distress Inks

again courtesy of Ginger Snap Scraps.

I see a whole lot of these inks in my future!

My Creative Ideas Journal / Spring Distress Inks

Happy Monday.....(I say that with sarcasm in my voice)

I don't know about you guys, but I am having a rough Monday morning.  I think I partied too hard this weekend for National Scrapbook Day!  While partying down at A Memory to Scrap with my happy scrappy friends I did get some projects done.  I used my new Tim Holtz Spring Distress Inks and boy do I LOVE THEM!!! The colors are so rich and happy....

On this project I used the Shaded Lilac and Peacock Feathers.  I took a not so attractive journal and redesigned it for a special teacher friend for her birthday!  She loved it by the way.  I also used an American Crafts flower that Cori sent me in my welcome box from Ginger Snap Scraps (thanks Cori).  A little ink added to it didn't hurt it either. I hope this will spark your spring creativeness. 

Take a stop at Ginger Snap Scraps to see what they have in stock for your next creative adventures!

My Mind's Eye

Happy Friday Everybody!


I am pleased to post my very first project as a Design Team member for Ginger Snap Scraps.

This card base was cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.

I used the Meadowlark paper line from My Mind's Eye.  I just love the versatility of these patterns and colors.  You can use it for most any occasion and use any color as an accent.  Of course, I can't hardly make anything without my Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I dug in my stash for a few bling, some cardboard hearts, a little rose ribbon and SHAZAM.... a card was born. 

I hope you enjoy it.

She Art part 2

Ok, here it is......my second attempt at She Art.  I think I like it.  I believe that it looks better in person than photographed.  I have so much fun doing these projects.  I think I might do just what one of my scrapping friends suggested and make one for every month of the year.  

With the suggestion of my above mentioned friend, I sprayed it with a fine coat of Spray & Sparkle.  It is satin varnish with a ultra fine glitter.  Made it look super cool!

Think of all the possibilities....again let me know what you think.

Talk to you later....

She Art.......my style

I am so excited to show you what I did tonight.  I have been seeing She Art projects all over the Internet and was very curious to try it.  So I gathered my supplies and headed to my crop....late because I was running around all day doing things for my son's Prom night.  Anyway,  I sat down and tried to remember what I had read and off I went with only minor teasing from the scrapbookers thinking I was off my rocker. Ha ha...I really had a great time and was already thinking of other things to work on tomorrow. 

I absolutely love how it turned out.  Let me know what you think.
Talk to you tomorrow....
