Something To Crow About

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a crafty weekend!  I just wanted to share a scrapbook page that I made for my cousin's baby book.  (Jennifer, if you are reading this, the book is on its way to you). :)  I used Just Because Cards for this page and I had a great time making the rooster.  I cut many layers for his "tail" and layered them and cut them until I liked how it looked.  Some are embossed with Stampin' Up! embossing folders. 

Paper is Stampin' Up!, Bazzil, DCWV, and K&Co.  Ribbon is Stampin' Up!

Cricut Can Applique!

Hi everyone!  I finally got my video edited and posted on youtube.  The video shows you how I did the applique work on the back of my school chair (that post was in July and you can view it HERE if you didn't see it then). 

Thanks for stopping by today and have a crafty weekend!

A Birdy Treat!

Hi everyone!  I know that I have been posting a few baby pages here and there for my cousin's scrapbook, but I plan on posting the entire book in a few days.  She lives far from me and I don't think I will get to see her this summer so I am going to ship it to her.  After she has looked at it, I will post all the pics here so please stop back.  Today's project is a cute little treat box.  I got the idea and the tutorial over at Splitcoast.  I was going to fill it with candy but then I decided to fill it with scrapbooking skittles.  I am going to give this to a fellow scrapper so I figured she would rather have skittles than candy!  And you will be proud of me because I used concord crush again.  I am really trying to break out of my neutrals!  Thanks for stopping by!

All Supplies are Stampin' Up except the sheet of acetate.

• Cardstock:  Concord Crush, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
• Ink:  Concord Crush
• Ribbon:  1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon in Concord Crush (I love the in color ribbon!)
• Stamp Set is Cheep Talk
• Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, and Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border

Also I am excited to announce that I now have a Stampin' Up! website that you can order directly from (click in the upper right hand corner of my blog on the Stampin' Up logo)!  You do not have to email me to order (but of course, you still may do it that way as well)!
Take care,

Cutting Fabric with the Cricut/Wicked Cool Treat Bag

Hey everyone!  I finally had time to make a couple of videos.  I have a button on the right side that will take you to my youtube channel or scroll down in this post.  I made 3 videos:  cutting fabric with the cricut/ the wicked cool treat bag from the blog hop/ and how to use the  new owl punch from Stampin' Up!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great Sunday!

Concord Crush!

Hi everyone!  Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments about my first blog hop!  Sorry I haven't posted this week, since it is now August I have started getting my classroom ready.  I can't believe how fast summer is flying.  I did have some time to craft today so I made a birthday card for my aunt.  I hardly ever use purple, not because I don't like it, I am just an earth tones girl and I get in a comfort zone of colors and am scared to branch out! Ha!! :)  But I LOVE the new in color called Concord Crush.  So I decided to use it.  Now I have concurred my purple fear.  Here is an upclose of the ribbon Pear Pizzaz.  This is such a nice soft ribbon to work with.  I stamped my flower image with white craft ink and then embossed.  I love how it popped out on the Concord Crush paper.

All supplies are Stampin' Up!

• Card stock: Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, Concord Crush
• Ink: Concord Crush and Craft White
• Heat Gun
• Pear Pizzaz Ribbon
• Oval Punch
• Scallop Oval Punch
• White Embossing Powder
• Stamp Set is Punched Posies which is a level 2 Hostess Set from the Summer Mini
• Sentiment is from a retired set

My First Blog Hop With Some WICKED COOL Projects

Hi everyone!  I am so excited to be in a blog hop!  I hope that you have a chance to hop along and see some really cool projects.  Everyone involved in this hop is from Team Chic n' Scratch and we have all created cards or other items using a new stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog! (If you still need a catalog, send me an email.  If you purchase one you will get a free stamp and Stampin' Spot!)

Please hop over and check out the previous blog Danielle and the next blog: Tracie

Now here is a closer look at my projects. I just couldn't wait to use the new set:  Wicked Cool.  Here is a pic of that set.  I really like using the clear mount stamps.  This set is $14.95 for the clear mount and $19.95 for the wood mount. 

For the first card I used the bats as a small background and then I used my marker on one single bat to stamp beside the Spooky sentiment. I used my paper piercer and mat pack to make the holes under the Spooky. 

For the second card I embossed the spider webs with black craft ink and I cut apart the stamped sentiment then I popped them up.  Here is a closer look at that:

For my last project using this new set I made this cute little treat bag!  I, of course, had to use my owl punch somewhere! I will post a tutorial on this treat bag on Monday.  Please stop back! :)
