Canadian Girls Rock

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!
today I am revisiting a card  made a little bit ago...I have to admit I have not paper crafted for about a month now....terrible  know, i have been knitting...these Sashay scarves are sooo adicting.....lol and I am working on a baby blanket....
today is my day to share over at The BugBytesI recently purchased a set of stamps from Pink by Design, called Canada.....which is GREAT cause I am Canadian!!!! and as a Canadian crafter it is kind rare to find Canadian stuff, so when I saw Sarah had created this set I knew I must have it!!
Using my Rock Princess Cartridge, I cut this Rockin (Canadian) Girl out at 4.50 using my Gypsy( she was a little big, so my card needed to be 6x6)
I always leave all those little pieces on my mat while I am piecing my images together

I scored my Card Base on my Martha Stewart Score Board..LOVE IT!!!!

 I added some studs with my Imaginse I-Rock (must have tool)

 Canadian Girls Rock stamp from Sarah @ Pink by Design

 and the finished card, I love how it turned out!!!

the zebra paper is from a paper pack at Michael's and all other paper is SU

Thank you so much for stopping by today

Writing On The Wall

Hello Crafty Friends, 

hope you are all well, it has been soooo cold here, I can't wait for spring to get here....

Today is my day over at She's a Sassy Lady, I would like to share a project I did for my MIL, she had just painted her bedroom and wanted some writing on the wall above her bed, she had a picture in her room in a frame with some beautiful, romantic saying on them so we used one of them to put on the wall....here is a pic of the finished work.... I am so happy with how it turned out, and She LOVED IT!!!!

So using your a font from my computer and my 12 x 24 mat I started typing...

using a ruler and painters tape we made a level starting line....

and we used a lot of transfer tape

 I found it easier to start at the end and work backwards....

after we place the words she felt it was missing something.... 

we added the 2 hearts, they were an after thought but they fit perfectly where they are, almost like we planned it...hehehe

 here a little close up 

I did use my MTC software, but you could use this with your Gypsy or the CCR

Thank you for stopping by today,

Valentine's Day Wall Hanging- She's A Sassy Lady

Hello Crafty Friends,
Today is my day to share a project over at She's A Sassy Lady, thank you so much Sheila for letting me share with you today.....
this is a project I did a while ago.....like 2 years ago...but with Valentine's Day coming...and my house about to be packed up....renovations....I thought I would share this project with you...

I used a set of 8 chipboard coasters I picked up at Michaels for .50 cents I think.. I only needed to use 4,  then I covered both sides with cardstock using my ATG.

I inked the edges......

                        

using my BIA, I binded the edges together using 5/8 in binding rings

                                               

                  using my Crop-a-Dile I  punched holes in the top coaster and wrapped in wire

       using my Xyron 250 Sticker Maker, I put my letters  in it backwards, so the sticky was on the front

             after I Glittered and put my Letters on the coaster,

                                I used Glossy Accents to seal in the Glitter, and give it a glossy look

Here is the final picture of my wall hanging, I am soooo happy with how it turned out....



Some of the Cricut Carts I used are:

Create A Critter, Indie Art,

Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art

and Paper Pups,

I also used my Bind-It-All, Crop-a-Dile Big Bite,

Xyron 250 Sticker Maker, and an ATG gun.

Red Stickles, Red Glitter, Glossey Accents, and pop dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by today....

Shadow Box

Hello Crafty Friends,
I am ready to share my exciting news......
Pam from The Bugbytes has invited me to be part of her DT......I was so honored to be asked, of coarse I said YES!!!!!!
I was so nervous to do my first project.....I didn't know what to do.....
I have been wanting to do a shadow box for so long.....and my puppy Lola just turned 1....so what a great time to do one....here is a quick peak at the finished project...

Using my Gypsy, I designed this paw print photo mat to display photos of her over this first year......this is why I love my Gypsy...I do not own a cartridge that has a paw print on it....so I created my own.....using a 10 x 10 square as my frame on layer one, On layer 2 I found a paw print I liked on CM This and That Cartridge,and here comes the fun part...finding shapes to match the CM paw print....the ovals are from Plantin Schoolbook bigger part of the paw is from B is For Boys....it is the nose of one of the animals.... the bone is from Create a Critter and the word Lola is the font is from Close To My Heart-Artiste (love this cart!!!)

 this pink paper has the cutest damask embossing on it, it is from Michaels by American Craft.....I cut it down to 10 x 10 and placed it in the centre of my mat

 I also picked up this shadow box at Michaels for half price

 using this cute puppy paper, some of the bones are pink, I am not sure if I like this paper so I have not attached my project to it yet.....

 here is the pink paper after being cut, and weeded

 I added a black mat to the pink....it is 10.5 x 10.5

 now time to add pictures of my little cutie....Lola the top left is the day I brought her home 8 weeks old.....next she is 4 months old, the next pic she is 6 months, then 8 months....and the final picture, the big one she is a year old....

 I added some brads and a little heart and at the bottom is her first little bling bling collar....it needs more bling....I am not done with this project.....I think I need to pull out my I-Rock.....but we will see....

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and a big thank you to Pam for letting me share my project with you today....

Zebra Ornament

Hello Crafty Friends,

How are you all doing....I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, I did....
Today is my day over at She's A Sassy Lady, thank you so much Sheila for letting me share my craft with you today....

I have one more quick and easy Christmas crafty for you.
I just received my Christmas gifts from my SIL, did I mention she is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator...Yea for me...all my gifts were from Stampin' Up!!!!

here a quick pic of my gift... look at all those goodies!!!!!

I have been wanting that punch and stamp set for a while now....
so I just had to play with it and make one last ornament.......
ok maybe its not one of your tradition ornament, but I think it is pretty cute....

So using my Ornament punch, my mini Martha Stewart Score Board and some of my favourite paper....Zebra, I started punching

After punching out 7 ornaments I scored them all down the middle

using my ATG and zip dry I attached all the pieces, but just about half way I attach some twine down the middle...

I left a little hanging out the top and bottom so I could add a bow and a little bling bling 

and there you have it, I love how it turned out,......I will be making alot of these next year......
Thank you so much for stopping by today,
and be sure to come back in January I have a little announcement to make, I am pretty excited about this announcement.....stay tuned.....
and I would like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Snowflake Shape Card

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I hope you all are well, 

I was having some issues blogging but I think I have fixed them, so I can get back to posting, this is a card I made for my monthly post at She's A Sassy Lady, but I was unable to post, but I still wanted to share it with you all...

I love to make shape cards, so I decided to make this snowflake shape card, I love snowflakes, each one so different and so beautiful....

this snowflake is from the Cake Basics cartridge, with the inside hidden, 

cut at 5.24 H 6.21 W

I welded 2 of the shadow feature together cut at the same H  and W 

using my new mini martha stewart score board...lovin it!! 

 using zip dry to adhere the layers, 

stamp on the inside and outside of card is from 

Joy's Life Stamps, Oh Christmas Puns Set, love her stamps..... 

 ink from stampin'up  

  I thought it was a little plain looking so I added some mini jingle bells and twine, 

I hope you enjoyed my card, 

I think when I make this card again, I will shrink the size a bit, to fit 2 on a mat, and be able to fit into a regular A2 envie....or a 6x6 envie....

Thanks for stopping by today..

Happy crafting
