In Memory of Sassy Lady DT

Hey Krafty People!

Today is my day over at She's A Sassy Lady! Where did the time go? It is hard to believe it is already March!! I guess we are Marching right along..I know bad pun/joke, but I laughed. 

I don’t know about you, but people tend to spring projects on me…I can’t lie; it is very annoying but I do welcome the challenge! My mom’s friend wanted me to create a custom card in memory of her mother for her birthday. She also gave me a moment’s notice….literally.

For this project, I decided to do a easel card since this is near and dear to the recipient's heart. I used the Prima Lyric paper. I fussy cut the image as well as the lady’s photo. Pretty simple right. I added a little lace and an I Am Roses flower to it and that was it!

Easy peasy! Remember to stop by She's a Sassy Lady to check out the talented DT! Until next time,

Happy To Be Me Canvas

Hello Krafters,

Over at scrapbook.com, I joined the Cricut Challenge for this month. Let me tell you, I haven’t played with my Explore in forever! After doing the update and calibrating the machine, I was set. One thing I do like about Design Space is having access to all of the cartridges I have linked. The down side is having the internet connection. I mean really, if the internet connection is slow or the servers are down, the machine is worthless! Nonetheless, the machine cuts beautifully and I am happy to have it in my arsenal. 

The inspiration came from a booklet I received from the Scrapbook Expo. There is this beautiful canvas in the book for a class the Expo was offering. I believe Quick Quotes was offering the class. Since I had to take my son with me this year, I couldn't take any of the classes. So I decided to do my own interpretation of it on my own and save a few dollars too LOL! 

I used French Manor (clock), George (frames), Floral Embellishments (flowers-or some other floral cartridge, can’t really remember) and Wall Decor and More (florishes). The papers are Prima’s Lyric collection. I stamped images on the back of the paper since the collection is one sided and it would be exposed. I also used Bo Bunny for the leaves. The title was cut from the Grunge die set from Spellbinders.To finish off the canvas, I cut a few butterflies from two different Martha Stewart punches and added some bling to the frame and butterflies. I will add a photo of myself later. 

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

A Love Story

Hi Krafters!

I love being a part of Beautiful Awakening. I get to combine my love for Christ with my love for paper crafting! Go over there and check it out!

Here is my project post! Enjoy!

Children are truly a blessing from God. In Psalms 127:3 it says, "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him." I honestly did not understand what that scripture meant until I had children of my own. I knew children were a blessing, but never considered them as being a reward. Now I know because I could not imagine my life without them.

So today I am sharing my layout titled A Love Story. It is showcasing our (husband and me) four blessings! This photo was taken after church back in August. They looked so adorable in their dresses I decided to snap a quick photo of them. They are so precious and innocent. I want to hold on to this memory forever!

Each day I am reminded of the favor the Lord allowed me to have in these four young ladies. Although I want them to stay young, I look forward to seeing what they will become. I pray you were blessed by today's posting. Thank you for stopping by! Krafthead~

Practical Scrappers DT- Pretty Cute Girl

Hi Krafters!

Today's project is two-fold. Over at Practical Scrappers it all about making those titles POP! There are some awesome ideas so go check them out! This is also my project for the Lift The Person Before You Challenge at scrapbook.com. This was lifted from Msnickers2...thank you so much for the inspiration.

For my "think outside the box" title, I used a combo of stickers and hot glue! Yes, you read right; the "girl" part of the title is done with hot glue. I dusted it with perfect pearls. The sticker "pretty cute" is from the Engraver collection by Prima.

The assembly of the layout:
The base layer is just solid black cardstock. I splattered Lindy's Stamp Gang. I do not know the color off hand, but it is in the Winter Wonderland set. Let me just say, this is the best white spray I have used to date! In the past I have used "white" sprays on black and as it dries it gets lost in the paper. Well not this one! As you can see it is a lovely white with the right amount of shimmer!

Going off the lift, I used strips of papers going horizontal and vertically. The papers are Lyric by Prima. I love, love, love this paper!! I fussy cut the collage from the 6x6 stack. The other pattern papers are also cut from the collection. For the doily, I used the English Tea from Cheery Lynn Designs. I added a butterfly (large Martha Stewart) punch out on top.  The flower cluster is a mix of Prima and I Am Roses flowers.

The photo is of one of my daughters. When I bought my camera, I was playing with the settings and I LOVE this picture of her...she is a pretty cute girl :)

I hope you enjoyed today's project! Remember to stop by Practical Scrappers to get more ideas on how to make your titles more fun. Thank you so much for stopping by!  Krafthead~
