My Kix - SOUS Die cut and Zeus and Zoe DT

Hello Crafters!!!
How about them KIX!
My son was thrilled with the shoes that his Aunt Missy sent him from Texas. Thank you Aunt Missy! So I pulled out my Zeus and Zoe kit and paired it with the challenge this week over at Stuck On U Sketches.. : Word Art.  What a fabulous time.

Yes I had fun using my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the title and the background paper. I was racing the sun to get this photo done today.

I had fun using my Art Anthology to paint these Scrap FX chippies that came from Zeus and Zoe.

More altered glasses

painted over the flower and the button

Stuck On U Sketches - Challenge - House

Hello world!

This week's challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches  is to use a HOUSE in their project. There were so many houses to choose from. I chose to use this picture that I took while on my first mission trip to La Esperanza, Honduras. This was a church built by our local ministry and some of the locals there.

All the papers used were from the specialty store Paper Temptress. I also used one of my fabulous 3rd Eye Stamp and brick mask. All the cuts were from MY FRIEND'S MACHINE - Cricut Explore  (yes I wish I had one). Join us over at Stuck On U Sketches and show us what you make with a house... and definitely check out what our design team has cooked up for us.   

And our March sponsor! It's time for the news...

Stuck on U Sketches -Die Cut Team - SNOWFLAKE challenge. A Canvas

Hello and hope this finds you having a super crafty day! Below you will find my CANVAS.

Over at Stuck On U Sketches (SOUS) the challenge this time is to incorporate a SNOWFLAKE into your work.

I thought instead of a card I would use snowflakes on a canvas. I found this really cool stencil from StencilGirl. I also found my super cool snowflakes stamps and badges from 3rd Eye. I used my Cameo to cut out my Snowflake. There were so many options to choose from, it was hard to stop at one. I should have chosen a bigger canvas to go snowflake crazy on!!

Here is the final product:

I will include some close ups so you can see all the fun I had. 

Supply list:

Paper Temptress  Lustre Package 
StencilGirl Snow Storm Stencil 
3rd Eye Snowflake Badge TEBS007 and Crystal SnowflakesStamp - TES-183
Tim Holtz Distress Ink : Iced Spruce

There ya have it. I hope you will join us for these next two weeks and pop a snowflake onto one of your projects. Is it snowing where you live? Do you have any great photos involving you or your loved ones in the snow? I can't wait to have you join us in this challenge. Make sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's inspiration. You will love it!!

Paper Temptress - Snowflake

Hello Crafters

Today's my day up on the Paper Temptress Blog.
The piece I'm showing today is the first half. The rest of the project can be seen when it goes live on my blog on Friday.
The focus on this piece is Snowflake.
I am using the Laser Lustre package to make these pieces. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the scalloped circles and cut the letters with this pretty font that had snowflakes embedded into the letters.

In the close up you can see the two different Lustre papers I used.

In these next 2 close ups you can see my 3rd Eye Snowflake Badge and stamp and my Viva Decor Metallic Rubs on my StencilGirl Snow Storm stencil.

Look out below! :)

In the above you can see what I cut on the Cameo focusing on my Paper Temptress Specialty Papers. Paper Temptress papers can help you with any project you come across.
Check out the Paper Temptress store today!

Mojo Monday

I'm trying new challenges.
Over at The Flying Unicorn they have Mojo Monday's.
I decided to do this cute pic of my coworker's nephew Carver. It's a joy to watch this little one grow up.

I used my Cameo to make the 2 Flourishes using my Paper Temptress "Lustre" collection of papers. There is also some Gina's Designs Chippie. I used my 3rd Eye Brick Wall stamp again and tucked in some Braid's as leaves.  Also the white vellum is from Paper Temptress as well. The background paper is from Heartfelt Creation's Timeless Amour Collection.  Here are a few closeups.

Zva Crystals I got from Scraputante's store. The flourish and  Vellum are from PAPER TEMPTRESS.

Renea's gorgeous butterflies

The Vellum peeking out under the butterfly is from Paper Temptress as well as the flourish.

I wonder what I might do next.

Have a great week. Ya know this a tad difficult finding green flowers.. thank goodness I had my Scraps of Darkness and Elegance kits to raid from!

My first album

A last minute idea.. with 4 hours only to figure it out. I thought I would make a little photo album for my friend. He and his roommate came for a visit last Christmas. I thought I would try out my Cinch that I had never used. I didn't know what  I was doing. I have learned now to strategize better. I was glad I had whittled down the photos. Ya know sometimes less is more! ahahha  I really was stressed trying to get this done. Now I know I want more time to really play with techniques and enjoy the whole process. This is just to show my 4 hour mass heart attack attempt at a journal.  My fingers are still sore... seems  I covered up the holes ... with paper and thought the little paper piercer would do the trick.. uh NO!

On the cover I used a new white washing technique that I learned from a class that I took from Drycha.
Class can be found here.
I used papers from my DECEMBER SCRAPS OF DARKNESS KIT.

DA0656 and white washing technique from Drycha's class

Page 2 as seen below I used the arrows from 3rd Eye : TES-015. I used some Prima flowers and brown lace.

David and Dave

On this page I used DA #7 Ornate Corner and TES-006, TES-018. The Kardiogram and the See With The Heart stamp.

Aren't they funny.

On this page I used the 2 hearts from 3rd Eye along with a Melissa Frances RubOn; TES-002, TES-003

I LOVE THEIR SMILES.

This is page 5 here.. Terry and David. I used 3rd Eye Frame stamp : TES-025

David trying to be taller.

Page 6 here I used 3rd Eye Wind Corners : TES-013. I used a MS punch.

No clue about the fingers lol!

Page 7 here : I decided to add some nice Trim that Ms. Elena sent me.. and the butterfly from Jrabs. How cool was that! More Wind Corners from 3rd Eye : TES-013

Just having a laugh

Page 8 here... lots more Prima flowers and Prima trinkets.

Still no clue about the fingers.

Page 9: I used lights from 3rd Eye : TES-041. I used Walgreens for the first time directly and I loved playing with their borders option. I tried a different border on every pic. I loved it.  In this I also used a DA0393-Pocket Watch.

Oh how fun it is to play!

Page 10:  I used the flowers from 3rd Eye : TES-023. I love how they went along the edge. I also used a GORGEOUS BUTTERFLY.. from Renea's Etsy .. HER SHOP CAN BE LOCATED HERE.

laughter : photograph memories

Page 11: I used the Santa from 3rd Eye : TES-044. More Prima flowers and their lightbulb.  Love using my Washi Tape.

Page 13 :Once again.. fast and furious.. I used Pandora from 3rd Eye TES-031. More Prima flowers as well.

oh happy day

Page 15 almost done...I used DA0629 #2. I also used some Vintaj Natural Brass elements. I also used some Tim Holtz ChitChat Stickers. 

FRIENDS FOR A LIFETIME

Page 16 last page.. whew....I used my favorite rose stamp from 3rd Eye TES-020 and Olivia TES-037. I used some washi tape on here as well.

Another fave shot.

I learned a lot making this journal. I used pizza boxes for every page and then covered. I should NOT cover up the holes and I think next time I will go ahead and thread the book and work from that angle.  It was a last minute gift thought request. I've already started saving my pizza boxes because I plan to do more.

Products used:
THIRD EYE STAMPS
Prima Flowers

Merry Christmas and Happy Scrappn!
