What happens when supplies are limited!

I was doing some petsitting recently and I had mostly brought supplies for scrapping, and some stamps and colored pencils that I wanted to play with. And I actually thought that I had brought some patterned papers for cardmaking and a paper trimmer but I didn't. So I got creative with what I had. I had brought my Iris storage full of goodies from SpiegelMomScraps and made this card and I LOVE how it turned out! I HATED that I didn't think to video this one, but really, the doily was misted with Heidi Swapp Gold Lame' and that black striped washi is just the thing for the background. I also used my prismacolor pencils to accent that Shimelle Laine wood veneer ticket. And of course I used some lovely Paper Smooches Stamps.

Punxsutawnty Pep Rally with Clique Kits!

 Welcome to the Clique Kits Pep Rally for February 2015! This month's kit is called Punxsutawny and it is LOVELY!!Forgive my photos of my layouts, I'll try to get some better ones as soon as time and daylight permit.

This month's theme was Galentine's Day and I don't know a better time with my girlfriends than at a crop. My friends in Memphis get together all the time and crop, and in October of 2014 I flew back to crop with them! First time we had all gotten together in two years. It was such a special time!

I used the Punxsutawny Kit along with some Shimelle by American Crafts stickers and Rub ons I had been hoarding that I'd picked up in the Clique Kits store. I Used Peacock Feathers and a navy Jenny Bowlin ink for stamping and inking edges using some Elle's Studio Stamps I've picked up at the Clique Kits store as well. I love that Clique Kits stocks items that I want to use over and over again like stamps that work on layouts, cards and project life... and I think I'll be using some of these tiny stamps in my planner also! WOOT!! 

I don't often do two page spreads, but felt this even deserved one. I Love using the same bits of paper on both layouts of a two page spread to tie them together visually. I may add some more journalling at a later date, but I have a few more pics of this event which I think will merit it's own pocket page to go with this one. Love and hugs and have fun at the Pep Rally, of course there is a giveaway so be sure and participate!

Hugs all!

Valentine Tag with a process video

I got a glorious new package from SpiegelMomScraps Etsy shop this week (use discount code Charity10 for 10% off your purchase).  I had a project in mind when I placed my order, then when the package came along with my dt goodies I had to sit down and MAKE something RIGHT THEN! And I filmed it!

So without further ado, here is my project:

I just had to use one of those Large Tags.

Reserved Star

These pages are all about the night a group of Star's friends went to Bobby McKeys! We had a blast, most of these folks I had only met once before but we all had a fantastic time! Bobby McKeys is a piano bar with "dueling pianos" they played a ton of things that were not by Billy Joel (and some Billy Joel). They even did a cover of the Game of Thrones theme and Fat Bottom Girls by Queen (those were requests from our table).

A few times they let confetti drop from the ceiling onto everyone there so I grabbed some up to save and stuck it all over the one page... I used the set of Stamps by Shimelle Laine that were exclusive to Two Peas (that I just got) on the side of that layout, that Play flair was exclusive to Clique Kits and came with the April Kit I believe. That polka dot made of sequins came in a Sprinkles box by Webster's Pages, That viewmaster embellie was fussy cut from that very sheet of paper then popped up on foam dots to add a little dimension. I LOVE that photo of Star and myself. Those embellishments are all on top of the pocket page because I had stitched it shut after putting those sequins in the other side and I had forgotten that I might want to put something in the back side. Those word bubble tags are by Elle's Studio and I got those from the Clique Kits store to go with my stuff! OK, whew, lots of wordy blogging for such a small amount of journalling on this page.

January Birthdays... another year begins ;)

What better way to begin the year than with a family full of Birthdays! I have some close family/friends that mostly have birthdays in January (with the exception of one household member who just had his in December.)
I decided I should go ahead and start making cards, that way MAYBE I can get them in the mail on time for their actual birthdays.

I have some acrylic card basis just hanging about in my stash so I pulled out a scalloped card base and what was left of my October kit from Scrapbook Circle. That 3x4 sheet from Cut and Paste has that lovely polka dot background, then I pulled a mini muffin wrapper out of the kitchen cabinet, used my FAVORITE Thickers from Maggie Holmes and that cute hb2u sentiment I've been seeing around. I finished up with a sticker from Pink Paislee and some sequins.

I was afraid you wouldn't be able to see the scallopped base, but you can :).

I think it turned out adorable... now I need two more card ideas!

Christmas Cards 2014 Part 5

Are you sick of them yet? These two are my favorite... um well they all are but I love these two especially for their non traditional ness.

I purchased the Cosmo Cricket Creative Girl 8x8 pad and the Simple Surfaces 12x12 pad a while back and really have been pulling them out and telling myself I didn't have a project worthy of their lovliness... um, yeah I'm trying hard not to just pet and hoard some paper :).

I used a fiskars paper punch to punch those scallopped circles and threw on some navy twine and an old metal Making Memories sentiment and there it was. I LOVE IT!

This one features some really old alphas from CC, those pink woodgrain and the aqua blue ones. I'm almost out of my gray foam lullaby font thickers, and new was the only word I could make work with Holiday Traditions.

The twine and sequins came from Endless Inkabilities.

Really love the non traditional looks!
