NEW Tiny Tags (SU! Occasions Mini)




I preordered this set from the SU! Occasions Mini and I LOVE it. I have always been a fan of diminutive stamps for some reason and I really love how this has the coordinating punch that fits the images perfectly. I also used my new Beautiful Butterfly Embosslit from SU! (also in the Occasions Mini). Kraft, Rose Red, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, and Kiwi Kiss are the colors I used for the card. A More Mustard brad sets off the other colors. Thanks so much for looking and for any comments! :) (edited 12/21--changed photo out)

Monster Friends



I got this REALLY cute acrylic set at Michaels by American Girl that EK Success made for them. This is just a simple, clean card that I whipped up using scraps from my scrap baggie. The main image is popped up using dimensionals and the sentiment is by Technique Tuesday. I embossed the monsters with clear embossing ink and the ink I used is pigment ink by Versacolor. I thought it turned out pretty cute. I will have another card tomorrow using an adorable deer stamp from this same set. Thanks so much for looking and for any comments! :)

One of a Kind



This is such a terrible picture, but you get the idea. All of the elements of this card were in my scrap baggie (except for the card base). I used two tiny staples to attach the Doodlebug flower to the punched circle. A small square of Kraft with the corners rounded was embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and the vanilla Modern Label punch was adorned with the Hero Arts sentiment. The base is Pink Pirouette. Thanks so much for looking and for any comments! :)

Zee--From Nick Jr! :)



Gracie and Ava love Nick Jr. (formerly Noggin) and I thought Zee would be pretty easy to paper piece. :) I made this little decoration to hang from a shelf with pegs on it that is in Gracie's room. I hand-cut the beak and legs, but everything else is punched. The body and wings are SU! punches as well as the flower and embellished corners (scallop circle, scallop oval, small oval, 1/2" circle, 1/4" circle, ticket corner, and Trio Flower). The stem and leaf is a Marvy Punch (I cut off some extra leaves in order to mimic Zee's flower), the blue rhinestone is by Darice. I used Ballet Blue, Pink Pirouette (retired), Pixie Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, and So Saffron cardstock. The rick-rack is a mini spool I bought from Michaels a long time ago. I thought it turned out pretty cute! :)

Baby Album First Page


Sorry for the long lapse in my crafting projects. I actually have a LOT of things to share, but my transcription work has been so busy lately that I haven't had time to take the photos, edit them, and think of text to post with them. This is the first page for a 12x12 baby album that my friends and I have been commissioned to do. The grandmother said that the parents-to-be love fishing and sports, so this was my way to incorporate the fishing aspect. The title for the page is going to be "He Caught Our Hearts" and it's going to be in white letters down at the bottom of the page. Delaina (one of the other Scrapjunkeez--the name of our craft show business) is going to cut the title for me on her Cricut to save a BUNCH of time. :) Sorry for the bad photo. The strip under the photo mat says NAME; DOB/TIME; WEIGHT/LENGTH. Thanks so much for looking!
