Basically Bare Design Team Project

Hello wonderful peeps!

I'm so excited to share my first project with Basically Bare.  Here is the tip of the iceberg. Please go to the Basically Bare blog to see the full project. This was the Tiny Tab album provided by Basically Bare, it is so adorable and cute! I also used some Art Anthology - Sorbet - Dimensional Paint - Leaf. It's a wonderful green. I also used Art Anthoology - Dimensional Crystal - Fairy.

Head on over to the Basically Bare Blog and take a peek. I think my brother and his wife will enjoy the album and be able to fill out the rest.
Thanks for looking and Happy Scrappn!!

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

stamps and paint and chippies

As you can see you can do so much with Word Art .. definitely head over to Stuck On U Sketches and see what the rest of the fabulous team came up with. You will love it. Also for some great supplies check out the Zeus and Zoe Etsy as well as their blog for some fun and inspiration.

Thanks for lookin and Happy Scrappn!

Pur Water Rocks!

What a wonderful surprise to receive a full size pitcher from PUR! We love how the water tastes. Because of it's filtration I can use it on my CPAP device. Thank you Influenster! I love the improvements in this model with the easy to fill portion of the lid.

So very cool!

I've been drinking more water and I figure this will cut down on buying so many bottled waters. 

Influenster is a fabulous program where one can try some fantastic products if chosen!

I will always be a huge fan of PUR water, the best tasting water!

Stuck On U Sketches - Challenge - House

All the cuts were from MY FRIEND'S MACHINE - Cricut Explore  (yes I wish I had one).

I wanted to make a happy tag especially since I've had a cold for the last few days. I hope you enjoy my happy little tag. It's called "Have a Sunny Day" from the Country Living Stamp Collection from Pink By Design.

Here are a few closeups:

All the cuts are made us my Paper Temptress papers on the Silhouette Cameo. I inked the edges with my distress inks and of course I pulled out one of my Peachy Keen Face Stamps for my precious sun. :)  I also used various inks for the background on the tag.

The ribbon also comes from Paper Temptress.  If you stamp a lot or use Copics definitely check out Paper Temptress for all your specialty paper needs.

3rd eye ATC VALENTINE

Hello Crafters, Monica checking in here today!
I prepared an ATC for Valentines Day.  Do you have something prepared?
The chipboard and stamps are all from the 3rd Eye store. Fun and creative embellishments to found here!

In this close up you can see the Anatomical heart chipboard. I inked the heart in black and then heat embossed a bit of red on top of it. In the background one can see the flower background stamp that I used to add interest.

Here you can see the wonderful butterfly chipboard. I painted them in a hot pink and then stamped one of them in the floral stamp. The other chipboard I painted and then set some seed beads on top with my glue.

In the above you can see a little bit of texture and having fun with embossing and splatters.

In this last pic you can see the ATC wrapped up with all those stamps from 3rd Eye! 

I thought this might be a different type of ATC. The stamps and chippies are so much fun to play with.
Have a wonderful Valentine's day! Happy Scrappn! Remember visit the 3rd Eye store for wonderful crafting supplies and the 3rd Eye Blog for fabulous inspiration. I will be using this for a ATC swap at Scraps of Darkness. :) Monica
