Super Job Graduate


Surprise!!!... it's another cool graduation card! It was made along with the Father' day cards I created using this one-sheet-wonder template. This graduation card showcases stamps by Inkadinkado and Hampton Art. 


I thought it was very collegiate to punch the layer using the binding edge punch by EK Success. LOL.

Floral Encouragement Card - Outline stickers


I've got another outline sticker card for ya! We made a bunch for charity (if you're wondering why I have so many lately). My 10 year old daughter colored these flowers for me with Spectrum Noir. I used the glitter panel to make a card. I even pulled out a punch to give the edge a cute scallop. The look wasn't complete until I added sequins!

Supplies:
  • outline stickers from Stamp On It
  • Spectrum Noir
  • Copics
  • Tim Holtz sentiment stamp
  • memento ink
  • Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter (warm diamond)
  • border punch from EK Success
  • sequins from stash
  • card base We R Memory Keepers - inked rose

Thanks for stopping by!

Elizabeth Crafts "innies" rose card


I've got two versions of the same card using Elizabeth Crafts "innies." Yes! I used what was left over after I peeled up the outline sticker and used it on another card. This is scrapping at it's best because there's nothing left over. I wanted to use some older supplies, so I pulled out 3 punches...two borders and the Stampin' Up! word window for my tiny sentiment.


Supplies:

  • Stampin' Up! word window punch
  • recollections bling
  • DCWV black adhesive cardstock
  • gold border from stash
  • Clear and Simple Stamps
  • memento
  • EK success border punch
  • Recollections
  • card base We R Memory Keepers - inked rose
  • Elizabeth Crafts "innies"

Disney's Princess Tiana Layout featuring CTMH Flip flaps


I've got lots of pics for you today featuring Disney's Princess Tiana, whom we met at Magic Kingdom in 2011. This moment was like magic for me even more than it was for my daughter. It was a dream come true to have an African-American princess to call my very own!

With few materials I created a dynamic layout I will treasure for a lifetime! The grid paper is from Mosaic Moments, square punch from Marvy, The Princess Tiana paper, Title and stickers are by EK Success and the extra added drama was created with Close To My Heart (CTMH) Flip flaps.

The photos were taken by Disney photographers and I applied frames etc. on the Disney site.

I placed the chipboard title on the oustide of the flip flap so there would be no pulling and bunching.


Here's the layout altogether with the flip flap closed and then with it open to show my journaling. The Tiana's Garden Glen sign was a picture I took and printed 4x6. I then cut it out and used it to embellish my journaling.

Thanks for stopping by!

Magic Kingdom Street Party Parade - Hot off the Press, Mosaic Moments and Simple Stories


We spent 2 days in Disney's Magic Kingdom and saw several parades. This layout features the Street Party with all of our fav characters. It was fun to have the opportunity to dance and interact with the characters on a more personal level. Not all my pics came out stellar, but with Mosaic Moments they look like a million bucks!


The patterned cardstock on both pages and the stickers on the first page are from Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. Chip 'n Dale and the Mickey head die cut are stickers from EK Success. The words Magic Kingdom are scrapbooking Dazzles by Hot off the Press.


Here's the layout altogether. I love the mix of squares, rectangles and strips to create this active scene.

Hakuna Matata Lion King Scrapbooking Layout


Yo, yo, YO!! I'm back to share more of my Disney scrapbooking!!!!! I'm still using Mosaic Moments dies and grid cardstock to document our first trip to Disney from 2011. The entire album is done in Mosaic Moments. It's been quite a task indeed spanning several years. But now the dies and the gallery with color-coded pattens make it quick and easy! The dies are pricey but it's worth every penny to get all the sets. They come with layering dies in addition if you are not using the grid cardstock. It's a WIN WIN! You can make normal pages or cards or whatever with the dies.


Above is my left hand page highlighting pics from the Lion King live show in Animal Kingdom. It was so spectacular. I think I had more fun than the kids! Both pages came together easily using cardstock and embellishments from Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. I love this collection (so much that I have also purchased the second collection Say Cheese II) because it has all the right colors and embellishments for making general Disney pages. It included stickers and snap cards. I used the stickers in the set to answer questions on the pocket card and to take up blank space in my pics.

I added one sticker pack from EK Success for the Simba on this page. It is actually furry!! From that same pack I was able to create the title on the second page of this layout and the border at the bottom right including the cast of characters.


I think this is from Say Cheese II but my fav part of the collection is the clear overlays. I was able to use a card saying what a bunch of characters and trim down the overlay to create my own embellishment. The overlay has the stars and hearts and the bottom border of arrows. I'll add journaling to the top right hand card. I only added the Simba sticker and some stars.



Here's a look at the entire spectacle!! The layout is posed in my scrap 'n easel - another must have! Thanks for stopping by!

Our Disney Adventure with Mickey and Donald Layout


I'm back to share more of my wonderful scrapbooking. I'm using Mosaic Moments dies and grid cardstock to document our first trip to Disney from 2011. The embellishments and patterned cardstock is from two different EK Success pads.

First, here's a blast from the past! I created this left-hand page quite a while ago. For more information on the first page click here. It was so lonely, so I created a companion page and the layout is quite spectacular if I don't say so myself! I like that there's lot of room for journaling and more memorabilia (should I find some tucked away).


Here's the new page I created using Donald Duck cardstock, border and some adhesive ribbon and from my stash. The large brads at by The Paper Studio. I thought it was a great way to highlight this large professional pic taken by Disney staff.



Here's a look at the layout. Click on the picture to see it larger.

Disney's Tinkerbell - Just Tinkering Around -Scrapbooking Layout


I know you may have been expecting a card, but surprise! I've been scrapbooking our first trip to Disney from 2011. I couldn't have made this wonderful layout without the beautiful title from Paper Wizard and the dies and  grid cardstock from Mosaic Moments. The patterned cardstock is from EK Success.

I put together the many pieces of the title with a combo of Xyron, Quickie glue pen and Scotch ATG.


I used to use punches and hand cut the mosaic parts but it took FOREVER. I have literally been working on this album for years one or two layouts every quarter. Alas with the new dies, I was able to double my layout count in a week!!!!! Hallelujah!! And the Mosaic Moments website has a gallery full of layouts that are colored coded to make it easy to know which dies to use.


Here's a look at the entire layout. I'll add journaling on the second page. By the way,  it's resting in my Scrap 'n Easel. Can't live without that either!

Thanks for stopping by!

April Challenge - Crafts Galore Encore: fav color


It's time to announce the April challenge for Crafts Galore Encore! You're going to love this one! Include your favorite color in your project. Our sponsor for this month is Kenny K Downloads  Two winners (one chosen at random and one chosen based on their submission) will be able to choose two Kenny K digis each.

My fav color for male-oriented digis is red! I started with Kenny K's digi called J-Cool. I was excited to color this image because I have not colored many men at all - specifically not African-American ones. I really had fun with this one!

J-Cool
Copics:

  • Skin - E13, E15
  • Hair - E29, E79
  • Hankie - C3
  • Glasses - R29, Y06, Y15
  • Shoes - B93, R29, Signo ball white pen
  • Earrings/chain - Y15
  • Sweatshirt - R29, R59
  • Shirt B93
  • Jeans - B0000, B34, B45, B93, B95, B99
  • Copic multiliner black

Once I had colored J-Cool, I looked into my stash and found a Sizzix movers and shapers Circle flip-it card designed by Stephanie Barnard of The Stamps of Life. I just knew it was the setting for J-Cool. Then I thought, let me add some brick texture, so I pulled out my brickyard Cuttlebug embossing folder and my Cuttlebug to make that happen. I added stamping and thought I was almost done.

But then I was stumped! J-Cool looked too corny by himself with the clean bricks and I had to reach out to crafty friends to help me get a clue of which direction to go in next. Shout out and thanks to Lyne, Anna, Carol, Ellen, Leila for sparking my creativity. They suggested a boom box, graffiti and street light/signs. I marinated on that for a day and then went about my task. I love the result! I wrote all the names of my household on the walls of the card.  I may have found a new way to sign my cards...who knows.


Additional supplies:

  • 2" boom box  - rock princess - DCWV black adhesive cardstock, Bazzill White, silver from my stash
  • 4" traffic light - Artiste - Bazzill yellow, red and green
  • Core'dinations - VC Ruby and whitewashed collection
  • Brickyard cuttlebug folder
  • Kenny K Digi - J-Cool
  • ATG, Xyron, Zig 2 way
  • No Fear, Play Hard - CTMH Later Sk8r - stamped in Chipped Sapphire distress ink
  • Background (card interior) - CTMH Later Sk8r - stamped in Broken China distress ink
  • Sunburst, Trophy - CTMH Cricut Artiste Collection: Kudos
  • 100 Copic black and Uniball Signo white opaque pen for graffiti
  • EK Success powder tool
  • Copic Xpress it blending card
