Halloween & The Outlawz Guest Designer

Hello and happy Thursday! It has been super hot Fall so far. I think the highs have been hotter than summer, in the 90's. It has finally cooled down but it is supposed to get into the 80's again next week.

Today I am guest designer at The Outlawz Challeges for the Twisted Thursday challenge. Since it is now officially fall, I decided to make a Halloween card.  I have had this stamp a long time and I don't think I have every used it. I used gold embossing powder on the image and the last of my Basicgrey Eerie paper.

Hippity Hoppity Another Easter Layout...

Hello and happy Wednesday. Yes, I found another Easter photo that hadn't been scrapped. I think this is the last one, LOL. I have  lot of pictures that didn't get scrapped but I think all the Bunny pictures have now been accounted for.

WOYWW #414

Hello and happy Wednesday. I seem to disappeared again. I had a sudden death in the family and it has left me out of sorts and not in a crafty mood to say the least. I am trying slowly to get back into the groove of things.

On SCS there is a fun monthly challenge that I try to participate in. Having committed to something forces you to do something. The challenge is the scraplift challenge and it is hosted by Sharon. Every month she comes up with a different theme. This month we are to scraplift a layout from the gallery of the person who signed up ahead of head us. I found a layout and I have gathered a few papers and the picture I want to scrap. Know I just need to figure out the rest like how to embellish and which elements I want to lift and how to put my own twist on it. Good thing I have all month to finish, LOL.

So that is what is on my desk this week. I also have a bunch of pictures I have found and set aside that I need to get cracking on as well. Summer is approaching and I have been spending a lot of time in the yard so it will be a challenge to try and scrap. If you are not sure what WOYWW is then head on over to The Stamping Ground and see what it's all about and share What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday.

  

 

Hippity Hop - Another Easter Layout

Hello and happy Monday! In my effort to try and get my old photos scrapped, here is yet another picture with the Easter Bunny. I used a variety of Cricut cartridges on this layout. I really like the colors. It feels like spring!

Another Christmas Layout

Hello and happy Saturday! I know it is almost Valentines (and I haven't even made any cards for it yet) but here is yet another Christmas layout. I was searching through pictures looking for seomthing specific when I came across a picture with Santa and a picture with the Easter bunny. One was from 2010 and the other from 2007. Yikes! I don't know how these got missed but I decided I needed to get them scrapped. So far I have only gotten to the Christmas picture.

I was inspired by the monthly Scraplift challenge over on SCS. The hostess, Sharon, wanted us to look through the Valentines gallery and pick a layout to scrap lift. You can find the layout I scrap lifted here.

Crafting With an Attitude

WOYWW #401

Hello and happy Wednesday! I have been digging through pictures and trying to find old pictures that never got scrapped. As I dig, I keep finding old pictures that never got scrapped, LOL. Lesson learned, do not scrap out of order. It has been driving me crazy having chunks of time missing from the scrapbooks. So my goal is to try to scrapbooks caught up. Easier said than done.

My workdesk this week shows some of the pictures I just printed from 2003! The scrappage in progress is some of those pictures. Then I found some pictures and a few current ones that need scrapping. I guess I need to get busy!

If you want to know why I am sharing my workdesk with you, then head on over to the Stamping Ground to see What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday to see what other crafters are up to and share your desk.

Steampunk Wish

Hello and happy Tuesday! My daughter asked me to make a card for a friend's birthday. I let her pick out an image from my collection. She picked one I have never inked up before so that was fun. I used the most unlikely Cricut cartridge to cute out some gears, the Accent Essentials cartridge. I colored the image with Copic markers and I also used the Atyou Spica glitter pens on the gears on her hat, brooch and belt buckle. You can't really tell in the photo but it does sparkle.

WOYWW #399

Hello and happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great day. I cannot believe that there is only one week left in January. It is also another Wednesday and time for WOYWW. Head on over to the Stamping Ground to see what is going on. I have a different picture of my desk to share this week. Behind my main desk, I have another table that I use mainly for stamping and for my die cuts. I keep a few other tools on there as well. My husband gave me that Zyron over ten years ago and I rarely use it but you never know so there it sits, LOL. I used those bingo cards that I got off of the PaperFections blog on scrapbook page. This would probably work great on a card too. I printed two sizes since I didn't know how big they would print out.

I used the bingo cards for the Scrap Lift challenge on SCS. Here is the scrap book page I made:

WOYWW #398

Hello and Happy Wednesday! It is time for another post of What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday at the Stamping Ground. If you are not sure what WOYWW is, it is a chance to share what is currently on your desk and to see what other crafters are up to.

My desk is super duper clean. I spent the weekend cleaning, cleaning, and cleaning up my craft space. I put a lot of stuff away where it belongs. I did some organizing and reorganizing. I even through a few things away. I have an inexpensive melamine 12x12 storage tower that didn't come with a back and was wobbly and asked my hubby to fix it. It feels good to have everything clean and orderly again.

I even managed to start a new scrap book page and I have some photos out that I want to get scrapped next. The good news is, it is still clean and tidy, LOL.

Toy Story

Hello and happy Monday! It is a rainy and dreary day today so here is a Disney layout to brighten your day. I get the layout super simple. I handmade the Toy Story logo and I don't even own the Cricut Toy Story cartridge. I just used a little ingenuity and the Disney Mickey font cartridge to cut the words toy and story. I hand cut the shape of the red piece that I cut 'story' on.
