Practical Scrappers DT Project-Turtle Dove

Hi Krafters!

Today over at Practical Scrappers, a fellow DT member Julie and I decided collaborate (well actually she graciously shared her spot with me) to and use the gorgeous Turtle Dove Collection by Kaisercrafts.  Julie, thank you for sharing your post with me and for the inspiration! Please go over to Practical Scrappers to see Julie’s beautiful creations! I actually have two projects to share with you!! Enjoy:

My first project is a 6x6 card. I fussy cut the images from the collection. I also added a Cherry Lynn doily using a pattern from the collection. 

There are several pieces of pattern papers from the collection.

The second project is a tag. On the tag I used an image from the collection. 

I also fussy cut the bell from the collection. Then I used berries I had from Michaels.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Please remember to stop by PS and show Julie some love! Thanks or stopping by, Krafthead~

Hi Krafters,

I know I have been sharing a lot of cards lately. The reason why I do so many cards is because it allows me to do what I enjoy, but they are so easy to get completed. I long for the day when I can do a bunch of layouts. However, I am slower than molasses when I do them.

Today, I want to share some vintage ATCs I recently made for a swap over at sb.com. I had so much fun putting these together. I may even make one for myself LOL.  However, we were to make three cards.

As I mentioned, these were to be for the vintage category. The first paper line I thought about was Graphic 45’s Le Romantic. That paper line is so beautiful and screams vintage! 

I distressed all of the edges with the TH Distress Tool. I did a lot of fussy cutting from the collection.  I also used vintage lace which was colored with Clam Baked Beige by Lindy’s Stamp Gang (one of my favorite sprays). *Sidebar, Lindy’s matches perfectly with G45 papers* I had the charms were in my stash and the vintage buttons were RAK’d to by my sis. Kelli (thanks Sis J).

I hope you enjoyed the breather from cards J  Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I read each of them! Have a good day, Krafthead~

Practical Scrappers DT Project-Picture Perfect

Hi Krafters,

Happy Labor Day! I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend! Today over at the Practical Scrappers' blog, we are honoring Grandparents! Yep, there are some awesome projects showcasing loved one’s whom we adore. I wanted to take a different spin on the Grandparent theme. I decided to make a card J The sentiment reads, “The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held by people with no grandchildren” by Doug Larson. When I saw that sentiment I knew it was perfect for what I had in mind. There is a lot of "play on words" on this one..hehe!

The paper collection is G45’s Communiqué. I wanted this card to have a vintage feel to it. I did some fussy cutting from the collection. I love the stamp of the four little girls. I have four daughters and it just felt right. I stamped it on top of the sentiment which I love how it turned out. I added the doily and rose for a feminine touch. That’s it!!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Don’t forget to pop over to the Practical Scrappers' blog for more projects and inspiration! Krafthead~

Practical Scrappers DT Project: Tags, Tags and More Tags!!

Hi Krafters!

Today over at Practical Scrappers, we are sharing projects utilizing tags! We all love tags! We use them as journaling spots, embellishments or we alter them! They can be used so many ways! I decided to use mini tags to embellish this simple card! Pop over to Practical Scrappers for more inspiration on using tags!! Krafthead~

Thank you Kelli (My Sister) for the beautiful vintage button! It was perfect for this project :)

Beautiful Mother

Hello Krafters,

Today is the third day of the Mother’s Day Celebration! I have to admit, while others may not like this card, I LOVE it! I adore the lady on the photo. She is so beautiful to me. I have no idea who she is LOL. I found her picture on the internet and HAD to use her image on a card! I believe this picture was taken in the 1920s.

The pattern paper is the Gabriel Collection by Bo Bunny. It is some scrumptious paper J

 I will spare you the specifics today. Hope you enjoyed the card as much as I did. Thank you for stopping by, Krafthead~
