Rock the Block Promotion ends soon!

Awesome video on the Rock the Block promotion:

I'm back!

Honestly, I don't know what happened to September but I have a pretty good excuse for most of October. I was chillin in Hawaii with my family and 16 other friends. It's not easy to come back to the real world after the whirlwind of fun we had in Hawaii but I'll adjust eventually ;-)

I do plan on working on my crafting and my blog again so don't give up on me!

I'm still holding my holiday card workshop tomorrow for those that preregistered on time. I'll take pics of that and post them so everyone can see the fun!

Back to School

This week kind of got away from me. I had planned on doing more, posting more, etc. but it's just been a busy week :-)
I did manage to finish a couple layouts. The first being a back to school layout of the kids using the Typeset paper pack. This one is for this week's (well, now last week's...) back to school challenge found HERE.

For this layout I used:
*Tyepset Level 2 Paper Pack
*Stamp set from the Typeset Workshop on the Go kit (houndstooth pattern in corners)
*Pleated Ribbon
*Wooden buttons tied with hemp
*Foundry Pin Clips
*Retired twill ribbon
*For the two info cards I used the upcoming September Stamp Of the Month called Limited Edition. I also used the stamp sets coordinating cricut cuts and a coordinating chipboard dimensional element from the Cricut Art Philosophy collection.
*The title and the year were also cut using the Art Philosphy cartridge.
I sanded the edges of the base pages and of the photos for a more vintage look.

Ink colors used are Desert Sand and Vineyard Berry.

A couple closer pics for the details:

Heart to Heart Challenge

The challenge this week at the Heart to Heart Blog is to CASE one of the design team projects. I chose to copy Brenda's card, which you can see here.

Colors are Sorbet, Chocolate, Colonial White, and Garden Green
Stamps sets used are:
D1491-Hooray Bouquet
D1482-Love Life
C1463-Harvest Happiness
and one of the My Acrylix sets from the Cricut Art Philospohy Collection

(The background paper is from the retired pack called Notebook)

The flowers, Fleur de lis, leaves, ticket, label, and the scalloped circles were all cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.

The other accents are chocolate flower buttons and chocolate striped ribbon.

I try really hard to put the best pictures I can of my work on the blog but sometimes I'm lazy with setting up my lighting and then I try to make up for it in Photoshop and it just doesn't always work out lol! So...I apologize for when my pics aren't quite up to snuff but I hope you can get what you need out of them anyway :-)

Mojo Monday 204

I love this week's sketch at the Mojo Monday Blog!



Here's my take:

*White Daisy cardstock base
*Sky Blue B&T from the Believe paper pack
*stars and clouds stamps from D1482-Love Life, stamped in grey wool and Sky inks
*Elephant and sentiment from B1391-Zoology
*Scallop circle (sweet leaf) and photo corner (grey wool) cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge*other items: button (retired) and Sweet Leaf Ribbon

Butterflies. Yes, butterflies.

People who know me well know that I'm not a fan of winged things. I don't know why, it's just how I am. I don't really like butterflies and birds in real life so I rarely use them in my creative life.
I made an exception today because I got the Flutter Just Blooms paper shapes in one of my bundles from convention and I wanted to make something with them.
Also, I was struggling all week to come up with something for this week's Heart to Heart Challenge where the theme is "Hot." Well, butterflies are kind of summery right? And summer is hot so...
Ok, so it's a stretch but I did use warm colors so we're going to say this card fits the theme! :-)

*The card base is colonial white sponged with desert sand ink.
*The mat is desert sand cardstock that I used the edge distresser on plus a little desert sand ink.
*The label shape is from the fabulous Art Philosphy Cricut Cartridge. I manipulated the shape in my gypsy to size it at 4.92x4.09 (real dial size) so it would fit nicely on a standard size card.
*I stamped the label shape with D1477-Universal Backgrounds in Bamboo ink.
*I used my paper piercer to freehand pierce a line of holes around the edge of the lablel and little circle then sponged the edges with desert sand ink.
*The flourish is from D1482-Love Life, stamped in Olive ink.
*The scallop circle is also from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, cut out of cocoa cardstock.
*The sentiment is from B1391-Zoology, stamped in Olive ink.
*The butterflies are sponged with Sunset, Creme Brulee, and a little Goldrush ink. They are adorned with Pearl Gems and adhered with liquid glass.

That's a lot of information for one little card lol! It really wasn't that complicated but I think details are helpful so I hope you like it!
