Let it snow...

Another week has flown by too fast. But, hey, it's Friday and that makes me super happy.

 

 

The challenge this week is to use snowflakes or snow of some kind on your clean and simple project.

 

 

I chose to make a small bag which would be cute to hold a few baked goods.  I used the new Bundled Up paper from Crate Paper--love it! The large snowflake is from a Spellbinder's die set and I used some glitter embossing powder on it. If you are a local, you can see this project in person at Scrappin' in the City!

 

Check out what the rest of the design team made for this challenge here. 

 

I hope you are inspired to accept the challenge this week for a chance to win a prize from our fabulous sponsor!

 

 

October City Chick challenge

The Scrappin' in the City design team challenge for October is to use a stencil.  After knowing about this challenge all month, I finally pull something together at the last minute-- October is almost over! 

 

I adore the stencil I chose, it's the mini Chunky Chevron stencil from Balzar Designs (The Crafter's Workshop). I inked, airbrushed and sprayed many, many times before finally ending up with this design--I would photograph the reject pile but it's too embarrassing. 

 

After misting the stencil with Mister Huey's color mists, I decided to flip the stencil over and rub the wet ink that was left on top of the stencil onto a sheet of pattern paper and liked the subtle distressed look I ended up with.

 

If you are a local or will be traveling near the Knoxville area, stop in at Scrappin' in the City and check out all the goodies!

Very simple, fall inspired card.  I love the aqua green color mixed in with the more traditional fall colors--it freshens everything up.

I was inspired by the recent class from Online Card Classes called Insider and carried my design on to the inside.  I only used some strips of pattern paper on the inside, but in person, it's really nice and makes the card feel finished.

Supplies:

Pattern paper is from Webster's Pages.
Sketch from Deconstructed Sketch #95
Stamp set from Papertrey Ink (Fabulous Frames?? I'll have to look it up!)
Ink is Dark Chocolate (PTI) and Crisp Cantaloupe (SU)
Cardstock is Melon Berry& White (PTI), Pool Party (SU),

Don't faint...I scrapbooked!

I've had the urge to scrapbook for months and the last few days, the urge has been stronger than ever.   I scrapbooked old school...pretty paper, had pictures printed, spent way too long arranging my 3 pictures!

 

I've never been a fancy scrapbooker and lean toward clean and simple layouts where the photos are the star of the show.  

 

My title is a design I purchased from the Silhouette Store that I thought was perfect for my pictures. The background paper I used is from the Chalkboard Collection by We R Memory Keepers that I got at my local scrapbook store, Scrappin' In The City--I'm on the design team for this fall along with my friend Angela! Yipee! 

 

The yellow twine is by American Crafts and was sent to me by my friend, Alyssa.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
