A Kisa Thank You

This is a Rubbernecker.com image named Keesha. I just had to have the stamp since it is so close to my name. hahaha. I used Copics, stampin up markers, and Smooch pearlized accent inks to color my image. I colored my Prima flowers using my stampin up re-inkers and topped them off with a little stickles. The thank you sentiment is from a Stampabillities cling rubber stamp set.

I hope you all like it.

Cruise 2009 Layout

I just finished this layout. My husband and I took a cruice to the Bahamas in 2009 and I am just starting on the scrapbook pages. Talking about taking my time. Any who, I used my Imagine with the Pack Your Bags Cricut cartridge and the Imagine More Imagine cartridge to make all the embellishments for this page. Thanks for looking.

Weekend Projects

This weekend, I continued experimenting with crafting tools that I have in my arsenal that have been idol every since they came into my craft room. The tools of choice this week are the Cricut Imagine and the BeJewler Pro.
My first quick project was a graduation card that I made on my Imagine using the Wrap it Up regular Cricut cartridge together with the Better Together Imagine cartridge. I made the green card stock from the color palette on the imagine cartridge. The embellishments are made from images on the Wrap It Up cartridge that were flooded with some patterns from the Better Together cartridge. Let me tell you, the possibilities are endless using the Imagine. I know some people feel this machine cost a lot of money, but hey, I feel it’s worth every penny that I spent. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I used the BeJewler Pro to add a little bling to the graduation hat.
After the quick application of the bling, I felt like experimenting a little more with the BeJewler Pro. So I decided to add a little bling to my ink pad caddy. Some of you may remember that I added my name and some roses to it a few weeks ago. Well, I step my name up a notch by blinging it out. I like using the BeJewler Pro because you don’t have to fight with glue and the bling. I may consider doing a video demoing it in the up coming weeks.
I hope you like it. Thanks for looking and come back to visit my blog any time.

These cupcakes are for an embellishment swap that I joined with one of our Craftin’ Sistahs on Facebook. These cupcakes gave my expression a serious workout and it was about time that it had one. I used the Sweet treats Cupcake #4, Cupcake #4 + Shift, Layers and Layers + Shift for Cupcake#4. These were all cut at 3.75”. If you decided to try these, make sure you DO NOT use the REAL DIAL SIZE feature. I used my favorite go to Stampin’ Up punches for the scalloped oval and regular oval and the “find reasons to CELEBRATE be happy” stamp is from the Sweet Serendipity from SU. Thanks for looking.

RAK_Cards

I made these cards to send with some RAKs. The stamp art is from SU's Pocket Silhouettes set. I used several different punches to embellish my card which consisted of SU's scalloped oval, small oval, large oval, round corner punch, and/or ticket corner and a Fiskar's edge punch. The designer paper was from a Martha Stewart's 12x12 playful blue paper pad. The solid cardstock is from Hobby Lobby.

The layout is one that I found on another forum. As you can see, I decided to play around with different elements on the layout to see which one I like the best but I cannot decide which one I like the most.

this card was made with DCWV's Linen Closet mat stack. The butterfly, scalloped circle, and circle are all Stampin Up punches. I embellished the corners with round top eyelets from eyelet.com. Thanks for looking.

Boy! I caught the devil learning to how to make these roses. The one on the left is made from core paper and the one on the right is made with SU card stock. The leaves are made from core paper too. I used the paper crimper to texturize the leaves and I filed them a little to show the white in the green paper.

I also learned to weld with my gypsy. So I used the roses that I just learn to make along with my welded name to alter my ink caddy.

Boo Valentine's Day Card

This is another card that I made for FNC on ScrapsofColor. RJ provided the image of Boo Thang. hahahaha This image made me step outside of my conservative box to say the least. I hope you like it. Please leave a comment if you do. TFL

Completed Mini Album

It has been over a month and I finally finished my niece Tiffany and nephew Bobby's hand made mini album of this past Christmas. My husband requested that I make this album for them to express our appreciation of their hospitality. Our whole family really enjoyed spending time with them for Christmas.

The album cover was made from recycled chipboard covered with paper from a K & Company pack that I purchased at Michaels at 90% off. I used my gypsy and cricut for some of the embellishments but most of them were also purchased at Michaels for 90% off.

I really hope my niece and nephew like this album because it took me all day to put it together.

Thank you for looking and please feel free to leave a comment.

Wear Red for Women's Health Card

The image used for this card is a digistamp supplied by one of the great women on SOC. I thought it only fitting to make this card all about Women's Health awareness because today is Wear Red Day. I just love how the prima flowers and bubbles finished off my card. Hope you enjoy it. TFL
