Oh Baby

Hi Krafters!

Anyone who knows me know I am a private person. So sharing this project was difficult and out of my comfort zone. I was looking for something and found a picture (my only bare one) of my pregnant belly! I was 7.5 months along with my oldest (2004). I didn't know she was a she at the time, but I was so proud. As I shared before, we were told we could not have children so this photo is a true testament of the power of God!

I am participating in the Cricut Challenge and Scraplift the Person Before You this month. I had the privilege to lift Arteshamac’s Hello Love layout. I encourage you to join challenges to keep your juices flowing!

I used Sophie (doilies), Graphically Speaking (arrows), Wild Card (brackets) and Calligraphy (title) Cricut cartridges. The paper is a collection by Teresa Collins. I also used a stamp set by Close to My Heart (Save the Date-I believe it is) for the corners and “remember”. The large butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. The flowers are I Am Roses which I used Gesso to tone down the pink. The princess charm is from my stash. Finally I added Recollection bling.

That’s it! I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Dream Big....Think Big!

Happy Thursday Krafters!

I am so happy to be sharing my first project for Scraps of Color E:spire!!

For today’s project I am sharing a graduation layout of my sister-in-law. It was so fun to create!

When I first started scrapbooking, I was afraid of pattern papers. Once I felt more comfortable, I dabbled in personalizing the paper to fit my specific need. Since my SIL is young and fun, I played around with sprays, masks and Gesso to add more interest to the pattern paper. I love how a few splatters of paint and a few squirts of spray can change the whole dynamics of a page! Remember, there is no right or wrong in scrapbooking ;)

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by SOC's blog for more projects, Kenya

Dad's Birthday Card

Hey hey Krafters!

I would like to share with you a card I made for my dad’s birthday. I have shared many times over that I struggle with masculine projects. I have come to terms that I struggle because I think too much! Why can’t I add a flower to a manly page? Who says flowers are only for women? On this one, I just went for what I know which is to have fun!

The papers/ticket came for DCWV’s Tattered Time and Recollections Regent Street. One thing I love about DCWV/Recollections is that even if you used a different collection, most times they go together! I used a Sizzix Collage Embossing Folder on the mat. It made the paper look distressed and have a leather look to it! I love how that turned out! The gears were cut from the Indie Art cartridge and sprayed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang (it is really golden and shimmery). I believe I cut the arrow from Graphically Speaking.

I stamped the sentiment s from a couple of stamp sets from Inkadinkadoo. I stamped the clock image on acetate. The stamp is from the Bo Bunny Timepiece Collection. Prior to embossing, I stamped some random images on the paper (it was really to clean off my stamps, but it worked in the design LOL). The flower was made from the Create a Rose Shapeability. I added a button and hemp to the center. To complete the design, I added a clock charm.

I hope you all enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
