Bowling Brothers!

Happy Saturday to you!  If you're looking for the Moxxie Blog Hop, please scroll down.  : )

Today I've got a fun project to share using Moxxie's "Bowler Up" collection.  Our boys love to bowl!  There's just something super fun about channeling all of their energy into tossing their bowling ball down the lane.  This is a very very good thing my friends!

I had a series of photos that I attempted to take on one of our last outings.  The cooperation level was a bit on the sketchy side, so a collage seemed like the perfect way to capture this page.

Moxxie makes some fantastic die cut papers and you can see the red scalloped circle base of it peeking underneath.  I layered a circular burst piece of card stock which was cut with my Silhouette and the chevron pattern paper cut in a circle on top.  

The use of circles is to echo the vibe of a bowling ball throughout.  The score strip that I used was crimped for some "bumpy" texture.  I've used quite a few of the coordinating stickers and die cuts here. For my title, the "Brothers" phrase was cut from card stock with my Silhouette.  

Ingredients:

Moxxie - Bowler Up collection (Papers, Stickers and Die-Cuts)

Core'dinations Cardstock

Spellbinders Grand Circle Die

Spellbinders Grand Calibur

Silhouette

Buttons by Fancy Pants and Doodlebug

Stick Pins by Maya Road

Paper Crimper by Fiskars

Christmas Cheer with Imaginisce!

Happy Thursday to you!  

Today at Imaginisce we are way excited to share with you our latest new release called "Christmas Cheer"!

My first project today is a layout that was inspired the Christmas Eve pictures that I attempted to get of our boys in their "Christmas Pajamas" last year.  They were so excited about Santa and their Superman pajamas they could not sit still. 

I decided to do a couple of photo collages to help tell the story.  I pieced my title together to become "Be Jolly, Merry & Bright" using a sticker stacker and one of the die cuts.  I added a holly flourish die cut using a Cheery Lynn Designs die, then some finishing touches of bling with my i-Rock of course!

The coordinating elements in this line really make creating a beautiful page so effortless!

A detail shot for you...

 

-------

 

Up next is a little card that I cut using my Silhouette.  

Are you being Naughty... 

or are you being Nice?  ; )

I loved the idea of the spinner with "Naughty" or "Nice" as choices, so I used my Dymo labeler to create them.  The i-Top 2.0 was the perfect anchor for my wheel.  The bow on top was cut apart from the wreath die cut.

 

I hope you've enjoyed my projects! Be sure you stop on over to the Imaginisce Blog to check out the other inspiration that the team has for you!  There might even be a prize involved!!!

Introducing... "Just Because"!

Happy Saturday crafty peeps!

Does it feel like Saturday to you with the holiday mid-week?  Over at Quick Quotes, we're really celebrating a bit with sneak peeks of our all new releases!!!  I'm have a page to share with you that I created using the new collection called "Just Because".

The collection is whimsical and has some of my all time favorite colors and patterns in it!  I really think you're going to be in love with it too! When I started looking through my photos it was around Father's Day and I came across this one of my hubby holding our boys when they were little.  The colors were such a wonderful match and I adore the expression that he has holding his boys!

Daddy's Boyz (12x12 page)

I started with my blue wavy background, matted with some brown cardstock, then added some circle die cuts.  The larger is a Spellbinders Grand Circle, the smaller is a Memory Box.  I inked my chipboard gear with Tahiti PowderPuff Chalk Ink, Mango Mai Tai and some Mocha Mama.

The tree is a die cut from white cardstock that I inked with Mocha Mama, Green with Envy and Mango Mai Tai to coordinate.  My photo was matted into a large lattice die cut.

I created my tag pocket with a Jillian Vance Designs for Spellbinders die and tucked in a Core'dinations tag.  That sunburst paper is so  fabulous, it's one of my favorites besides the blues!!!  My sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Vellum Quotes - Babies, Kids, Family.  I added a rub-on "Z" letter to the end of "BOY" so it would work for the page.

To anchor my design a banner strip was added.  The flash of dark orange is a cut piece of the sunburst paper, angled to piece into the strip.  The Magic Mesh tape was added for a bit of texture behind.  The chipboard stars are from the Just Jackson Glitter Diecuts.  My zig zag was cut using my Silhouette.

Ingredients:
Just Because papers, Quick Quotes

Just Hangin' Out with Quick Quotes!

Happy Friday!!!

I'm super excited to share a page that I created with pieces from the June Club Q kit today!  It featured our Summer Samba and had such bright and fun colors!!!  These photos are of our youngest last year when he was 2.  They grow so so fast!!!

The kit included so many super cool die cut shapes to work with!  I used the white scalloped square die cut and I cut an end to layer under my papers.  I also cut the sun apart from one of the provided cuts and thought it would be fun to layer over the yellow here.  I embellished it with a flourish acetate piece and a wooden button from my stash.

I absolutely LOVE our Frosted Flourishes!  They add such a nice soft feel to a project and can help show some movement.  To add to the fun here I attached my yellow paper with a few segments of zig zag stitching.

The Itty Bitty Vellum quote that I used here felt just perfect for the page!  I used a scrap piece of black card stock and a rectangle Spellbinders die to create a very simple frame.  The black coordinated nicely with my photo mats.

Today I have some Quick Quotes card inspiration for you.

I've mixed our One Fine Day, Dreamscape and Miss Morgan collections.

I started by using the Labels Fourteen to cut my vellum sentiment and also the backing for it.  I created the shadow layer by tracing the outer part of the die with pencil, then cut it out with my scissors for the yellow layer.

The scallop border here is a strip of plain vellum that I die cut and inked with Purple Passion and Tahiti PowderPuff Chalk Inks.  I inked on the back side and allowed to dry.  I love how it softly coordinates, yet still has a little variation of tone.

To finish it off, I created a paper bow and added the bird.

Makin' Waves Release Party!

Happy Monday to you!

We're so excited this week to release our latest line over at Imaginisce!  It's called Makin' Waves and you're going to love the colors!!! 

Last summer we enjoyed a little pool time at my sister-in-law's home and it was a really fun time to take a few photos.  I love the bright orange mats in contrast with the blue water and yellow of the float.

"Fun Makin' Waves!!!" (12x12 layout)

To bring a little motion and attention to the wavy pattern of the fish pattern paper, I stitched and left tails along the way.

I added some bling with my i-Rock on the umbrella, in the sun of my Hot Summer Day chipboard and a few sprinkled accents down in the water too.  Don't you love those Cheery Lynn Designs doilies here?  I thought they were awesome! 

To create my little scuba boy tag, I used my little Martha Stewart mini tag punch.  I thought he was so cute!!!

Thanks to Becky Fleck for the inpiration of one of her March sketches for this!!!

----------

My next project is a fun card with an encouraging sentiment.  I thought so anyway...  lol!

"Keep On Swimmin" (A2 Card)

Some details:

 The waves are hand cut from cardstock and I pressure embossed them. 

The i-Rock, hot rocks and silver tears were used to accent the fish, crab eyes, and waves and bubbles.  I also used one of my i-Top punches to give a bit more "wave" simulation.

Happy Sunday to you!

I have a sweet little card to share with you today.  We had a birthday party for one of the girls in our kids' daycare. 

I thought it would be fun to dig out the Imaginisce Enchanted collection and create a little bit!  Aren't those mirror stickers so cute?!!!

Happy Birthday Card (A2 size)

A few layers, stitching and doilies for texture:



I love the mega sunflower doily (7.5" x 7.5") from Cheery Lynn!  I used it on some scraps to create the perfect little accent here for the edge.  The Grand Calibur works beautifully on these extra large dies!

The doilies are such pretty and soft accents just tucked into the design in bits and layers, don't you think?

Steam Punk Fun!

Happy Friday to you!

I'm delighted to share my project with you today!  This features several of my favorite things all together at once!  Epiphany Crafts challenged us to showcase the Round 25 Bubble Cap on a layout in a bit of a different way.  This is my finale post as a Designer for Epiphany Crafts and I wanted my project to be extra special!

"Remember This"

12x12 page

This page features the all new Tin Type line from Quick Quotes!

(Love the Steam Punk vibe!)

One of my 3 Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Bubble Caps anchors the bird.

The starting inspiration for this design was the Core'dinations with the black and teal circles.  The size of the circles coordinated perfectly with the bubble caps!  I then used my PowderPuff Chalk Inks in Baja Blue, Lemonade, Biscotti and some water to color the Chipboard Laser Diecut bird and branch.  A bit of glitter Modge Podge was added over the top. 

To soften the feel of the rich colors, I used the Mega Sunflower Doily die (7.5" x 7.5") from Cherry Lynn Designs.  To create my framed sentiment I also used their Celtic Heart die (3" x 2 5/8") over one of the Quick Quotes Alphabet Sentiments.  I wanted to add some more color and used the Vintage Settings from Epiphany with a Round 14 bubble cap. 

I intertwined some raffia, punched butterflies and leaves, flowers and vine and bling to frame in my photo.  The acetate accents and tickets added a little more pop of interest and color.

-------------------------

Weekend greetings to you!  

Todays post brings you my project for our Quick Quotes CHA Sneak feature for the all new "One Fine Day" collection.  The Design Team was graciously sent a Grand Calibur machine by Spellbinders and some fabulous dies to play with!   Pair that up with our CHA Sneaks and well, you just have a whole lot of fun and creativity happening!!!

My "One Fine Day" project:  Sly Guy

So, these photos of our little guy being as fully "two" as he can possibly be, still really just crack me up!  The drama, the pouting, then the instantly crazy sweet coy smiling cherub face at the end.  Yep, this is him for all of his 2nd year.  The way the sign framed in "Come Follow Me" was perfect for this day.  I've got a little love note tucked behind my main photo with the story of the day. 

Confession time...  I have *ahem*, well, cough...  a bit of a collection of Spellbinders dies.  They are sort of like potato chips, you can't have just one!  You'll see a variety of them on my project from sprockets, to circles both small and grand as well as a butterfly and a border.

Designers Notes:

• For the orange cardstock border, I used the Borderabilities die and ran it through two times. 
• The Sprightly Sprockets dies were used here to continue the circle theme but with a bit more variety.
• This paper collection has really great strips, I used them to create the vertical ribbon strip cluster. 
• I used the Standard Circles Sm dies and folded them in half to create my petite circle banner.

Va Va Va Voom - Kanban Style!

Happy weekend to you!

I wanted to stop in today to share a really fun swanky creation using Kanban Crafts.  I call this one "All About Her"!  I used a variety of Kanban products on this card that mixed together for a fun effect!

Some glitter acetate and black metallic finish cardstock along with the black damask print really gives this card an elegant feel.  It may be a bit on the "vampy" side, but I love it for something feminine and different!

Tips: 

1. The black border strip is the relief of a scallop square die cut. How's that for using your scraps?
2. Adding a little strategic accent bling can really transform a project.  Check out her hairpiece, glove and the border.

Quick Quotes CHA Sneak!

Happy Monday crafty friends! 

I'm super excited to share my Quick Quotes project with you today!  All this month over at the Quick Quotes blog, we are featuring some new CHA sneaks.  Spellbinders sent the team each a Grand Calibur and a variety of current dies to play with.  Needless to say, I've been having a blast playing with these!!!

The Dreamscape line features some rich jewel tone colors.  I love that although the colors are so vibrant and rich, the tones and feel of this line is very soft.  For my project, an artists tray was used to create a special home decor piece.

Spellbinders dies used:  Labels Four Small, Sprightly Sprockets.

I used the Butterflies Impressabilities here to add some texture:

Here I used my Epiphany Crafts tools to create some heart buttons and clustered those with the sprocket:

A few stick pins and sprocket along with the keyhole and key.  I backed the keyhole with some paper:

Thursday greetings to you my blogger friends!

Today's project that I get to share with you was so much fun to create and for many different reasons!  I am excited to share with you my first ever home decor banner featuring Epiphany Crafts and the Shapeabilities Round 25 Bubblecaps!

I thought this fun line of papers from Teresa Collins was just perfect for the project and made me think "Thankful".  This time of year invokes those reflective thoughts and I wanted something special in our home to represent that.

Pay very close attention to the sentiment font bubblecaps on here, they were created using these absolutely fabulous stamps from A. Jillian Vance!  The monogram as well as the font. Isn't that just beautiful? The possibilities are endless!  I simply used white and black cardstock and contrasting ink and embossing powder.

If you have our Round 14, Star 25 or Round 25 tools, you definitely want to make a stop on over! You'll be amazed at how you can completely maximize your Epiphany Crafts tools in ways you never even thought of yet!! (That's because they already did that hard work for us! *wink*!)
