Two more October Layouts

Hi y'all! 

Im back with the last two layouts I had not shared with you from the October Paper Niche Design Kit. Boy did it take me long to get these here! October was busy, and I don't think these next two months are going to get any better. If anything, I think they'll be worse with all the other holiday related stuff that's being added to my list of to do's!

Oh well, that's life, right? It gets busy!

Well, there are still a few October kits left ( if you are interested just head on over to the Paper Niche's Website or blog and get one fast!). It was really a nice one. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I appreciate and enjoy reading all your comments!

Christmas Mini 2011

Hello everyone!

The holidays are quickly approaching. Can you believe it? It seems like this year flew by! Sooner than we know it, it will be all gone, and 2012 will be here! Wow. It seems hard to believe, but it's the truth!

Today I'm sharing with you a Christmas mini album I just completed, using some of the fabulous product I received from Scrapbuck.com. I am really happy how it came out, and I'm totally in love with it's shape!

It the is perfect little book to hold Emily's first Christmas pictures. It's amazing, but she doesn't look like this at all anymore. She looks like a big kid now, almost two years old. To think that last year she was just a little baby! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!
I cut out the book out of light weight chipboard using the Quickutz nesting die I received, which you can find HERE. The paper collection I used is THIS ONE.

I really enjoyed using many of the 3D embellishments in my haul, and I think they gave just the right touch of whimsy to the mini. Some of the embellishments I used are HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

The embossing folder I used is this one HERE.

I really LOVE the finished look. The white acrylic paint on the edges of the album really makes it feel like winter season was there (even though it really wasn't haha---that's South Florida for you!).
For more info on all the products I used please watch the videos HERE and HERE, and don't forget to visit Scrapbuck.com to get products at awesome prices. I hope you enjoyed!

Guest Designer for Scrapbuck.com

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!
It's the last day of the month, and I know everybody is very busy since it's also Monday, plus the weather has been crazy all over the place, and I can just imagine the chaos! I wanted to share the fact that, as you see on my sidebar, I'm currently guest designing for Scrapbuck.com, and I'm so super excited!
I received some products I wanted to share with you, and have already started creating with them.
Watch the following video for all the details, and stay tuned for more coming in the next couple of days!

Create Banner

Today I wanted to share a banner I made with the Paper Niche's October Kit. It's the second banner I ever make and I loved how it turned out. Simply a nice piece to put in my craft room. Right now it is at the store, and it looks great there too :)

I used an one of the Accucut Banner dies to make it, with both medium weight, and light weight chipboard. I used my Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays on the rosettes ( I used a mixture of two sprays: Tainted Love Teal and My Mojito Green),  which I made with my Tim Holtz rosette die, as well as on the corrugated chipboard letters from the kit ( I used a mixture of Pretty in Pink Pink and Rhodeonderon Rose Red for those), which I love!

I distressed all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and added some bling for more interest. The hanging charms were made with the Kaiser Craft canvas tags included on the kit. I added some Making Memories Charms, also from the kit, as well as a swivel clasp, and some metal Tim Holtz charms from my stash. I sprayed the background of each panel with another of my ALL time favorites (I need a gallon of it at home I tell you) Glitz Spritz in Cactus Gold! Love that stuff!!!

It was a really fun project to create, and I can't wait until I hang it on my new organized scraproom (once I'm done organizing it of course! LOL).

Now, for the many of you that have been curious (I've been getting private messages and emails like crazy asking me about it!), I am currently working on editing my giveaway winners video.  It has taken me a while to go through all the videos and comments...I'll be uploading the video in a bit.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. It seems that I'm finally on the mend from this awful flu I caught! Yay! Thanks for stopping by!

Your Smile

The month of October has been crazy for me. I finally get to share with you some of the things I created with the October kit from The Paper Niche. I just love these pictures and had to make a page with them!

I'll keep revealing more of my projects in the next couple of days. See you then!

Hi everybody! Let me start by saying right off the bat, YOU DON'T want to miss the November Designer Kit that will be available for purchase at the Paper Niche starting November 1st. It is GORGEOUS, and I mean FANTABULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL! (I think I just made up a new word! LOL). Wait until you see all the creations by all the Design Team Members!

One more day left!

I don't know if you know, but I'm having a giveaway on my YouTube channel. Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the video so you can watch the details. Just one more day to enter! Good luck!

Baby baby!

Today I wanted to share my Olivia by Basic Grey baby mini album. I received the chipboard base from my crafty friend Carolanne (Loganscraftymomma on YT), and I just knew the Olivia collection was going to be perfect to use on this small album.

The weather was not the best when I took these pictures, so I had to take them inside. I'm not thrilled with the results of them, (yes, I'm very hard on myself), but at least you can see what I made and it's not blurry! LOL

I was really happy with this half transparent pocket I made. This is exactly how I wanted it to look like.

It was really fun to make, and if you want to see the details of the pocket, and everything I did on this album, you can click on to watch the detail video HERE.
Hope you enjoyed!

Totally forgot!

Hello everyone. Happy Sunday!
Just wanted to stop by today and link you up to my Tim Holtz Cruise video. I totally forgot to share it over here. I know that many of you don't follow my videos, so I wanted to make sure I shared it on here, so no one would miss it. It took me a while to edit, but I think I did a good job on it, considering I don't know too much of this editing stuff. It pretty much sums up my whole cruise experience, and I know if you watch it, you'll get a feel of how everything went about if you weren't able to attend.
Tim will be taking the next year off from these kind of big events, but he says that in the future, he has many more activities coming our way.  I'm so excited and curious to know what he has up his sleeve! Totally enjoyed this cruise, and can't wait to take more classes with him again in the future. He truly is a talented artist and wonderful person, and so are all his crew members.
Hope you too can enjoy this video!

It's Fall Ya'll Inspiration Projects

Hello! Today I wanted to share the inspiration projects I made for the Lindy's Stamp Gang's Fall Creative contest ( Click HERE for more info on the contest, which ends Oct. 24!). I had a lot of fun coloring with Micas and Magical Micas.

I don't celebrate Halloween, and barely have any supplies to make any related projects, but I looked around my room, and had to make something with this owl stamp, and some awesome Lindy's Stamp Gang Micas. It's a playful card, and I liked the "too cute to spook" message, and I went from it to make my trifold card.

The Cuttlebug Embossing folder I used, was one I bought because I totally loved the design, even though I did not know when, or in what I would use it, but it was one of those things I had to have. I'm glad I got it. Love the embossed spiderweb!

You can see the full video tutorial on all the Lindy's Stamp Gang products I used and how I used them by clicking HERE.

All the Lindy Stamp Gang Products made my owl look so awesome, not to mention the shimmer on the clouds is fabulous!!!

All the micas I used to color this card definitely brought it to life. I LOVE the finished look!
The next one is essentially the same process, except, it's a "Fall/Thanksgiving" themed trifold card.

On this one, instead of using an embossing folder to dry emboss, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder, and I love the shimmery look!

All the colors I used are detailed on the video, so don't forget to watch. The prizes of the contest are pretty awesome, so I hope my projects have inspired you to make something too, so you can join us on the fun, and maybe win an awesome prize! Thanks for stopping by!
