Tim Holtz Vintage Clock mini Album

I enjoyed making this album tonight - the foundation are used CD's and the inspiration is Tim Holtz Vintage Clock and Bird Cage dies. I also used the large Butterfly from Spelbinders and various products from Prima and Stampin Up to name a few. Also on the cover is vintage music sheet from 1940's!

Please enjoy the video and I have put together a kit to make one more that I will be selling if anyone is interested!

Baseball theme mini album for my nephew

I made this for my nephew who started playing baseball this summer.
I create the cover and pocket pages and hope you will enjoy this video it as much as I loved making it.

I used the Cricut baseball solution cartridge to cut the phrases, the ball players and the scoreboard. I bought the stickers and paper at Michael's, the border punches are EK success and the mads are from Spellbinder dies.

Sisterhood of crafters - Give Thanks

Here is a card for my MIL from my boys as a response to their graduation gifts.

I am entering this in the Sisterhood of Crafters weekly challenge "Give Thanks" and Cute Card Thursday - going around in circles and Simon Says Stamp anything goes

I used SU embossing folder, Tim Holtz swirl die, Spellbinders scallop circle, Stampin Up Sentiment and the border punch from EK Success

Stampin 411 sketch - rainy theme

Hi All,
I made this card for my daughter who has some finals this week and we happen to be having rain these past few days.

I used the sketch at Stampin 411 and the theme of April showers at Crafty Catz and Raise the Bar as well at Sentimental Sundays! I guess it goes with April for certain! We have had rain for two days.

blissful thoughts of days gone by

So I didn't really know what to call this card, but looking at the image, it is very peaceful or thoughts of days gone by and that incorporates with the ABC Challenge blog - O for old vintage, I distressed the edges of the image with my scissors and my ink.
I used the layout sketch from Mojo Monday and the image if from Toucan Scraps. Card stock from SU, border punch from EK Success. Misc fibers and the metal dots are from Walmart.

Beary Red card

I need to finish a few more cards this weekend before I send them out on Monday to complete my Valentine mailing.
This one is simple and the inside will allow me to write more than just a simple hello but more to the recipient.

The teddy is a digi or image I got from a swap so I am not sure what the company is.
The base paper is textured Colorbok card stock that I just picked up in Wal-Mart last night for 5.00 for 40 count of 12 x 12! The pattern paper is from Provo Craft, the front border punch is from Martha Stewart that was a left over on my desk! Yahoo using my scraps!
The circle scallop punches are from EK Success. I punched dots in them scallops as one of my challenges did not allow embellishments! Hmmm so I had to spruce it up some how.
The inside is a left over piece from the front and use the SU scallop border punch as well.

I am entering this card in the following challenges
Create 4 Fun - I used the sketch
CRAFTS AND ME - Red as the focal point
Crafty Catz #68 Tartan or Plaid
Prairie Fairy Friday - valentine
Crazy4Challenges - make a Valentine Card
Charisma Cardz - no embellishments - border punches were allowed!

Tiny mini Pizza Box Ornament

I designed this mini tiny pizza box to hold my crochet heart ornament.
The finish size is 2 x 2 x 1"

It was fun trying to get it to fit my ornament and make it, its own ornament as well - kind of a 2 for one. I hope who ever gets it from my crochet group likes it.

The cs is from SU, the pattern paper is from Hot of the Press, the snowflake is from Martha Stewart as well as the glitter.

I'll post the directions in another post as not to make this one too long.

Mojo Monday sketch

I loved this sketch (see below) at Mojo Monday and thought the Halloween card I created next would suit well with the two Stampin' Up Stamps I used.

Because the sketch seemed a little formal - I went with more fall type colors as requested at Charisma Cardz than spooky in your face papers. However... if you look close they are - mahuhhhhh - LOL

Ok - back to the card - I stamped with brown Stayzon and colored the imaged with colored pencils except for the flesh (markers). The Sentiment was punched out using a SU scallop oval. The border punch is a EK Success which match the sketch perfectly!

Pattern card stock is more from my Recollection pack from M's. The cut star ribbon came in a 3pack Halloween ribbon pillow sampler at Target dollar spot.
