Halloween Frame

Very simple frame. I bought the "naked" frame at Archivers for 1.99 and jazzed if up with black buttons, ribbon, and a layered flower. A picture of Pinkes in here Pumpkin custom is what I need for completion! :) Thank for looking!

Pins, Needles, Clothesline, and a Bride..

New QK pin cushion die, complements of Scrapbuggy :), embroidered and the bow was made with ribbon and embroidery floss. Wood paper used to cut the base of the pin cusion.

Vintage buttons, new qk clothesline die, October Afternoon paper, and Enjoy font. Clothesline was run through a paper crimper a few times to give a rope look.

Wood paper used and staples bent to make the clothes pins look realistic.

Cricut used for corner accents. Qk bouquet die used. Font is "Calligraphy Collection" for the cricut.

Scrapfest with Tim Holtz!

I helped host ScrapFest 2010 this year and was able to meet Tim Holtz!! I love his stuff and went completely gaga when I saw him! Scrapfest was super crazy this year! Actually was my first year attending this event (but was really working it), now that I know all the ins and outs...definately planning for next year! Who's with me??!!

Couple New Projects!

For the Love of Birds!

First off, I feel so fortunate to be a designer for Scrapbuggy.com. I absolutely love it and I am so thankful for this great opportunity. I made this little bird book for my friend, using all new dies I received!!

I absolutely love this bird cage. I painted it with crackle paint called "tarnished brass". I love this effect!

This is the cut out from the birdcage...such a cool shape!

This bird nest is so cute! I loved nestling in the eggs and some twine!
Mojo and his bed head hair!

I used Chicken Noodle font for most of the book.

These paisleys are actually the bird tail cut outs!

I finally sent this little book to my friend Linda in Wisconsin!

Pretty in Pink

A little card for a friend. I used the damask qk die and flirt font.

Watermelon Thanks!

I forget how much I love my Moxie QK font! I stitched on each letter and popdotted them up. The watermelon is from the qk Enjoy gift set.

Scrapbook Garage Sale Motherload!

So today seemed pretty hectic and was not off to a good start. I was running errands with my husband and friend....nothing really fun just the man mall, working on home projects, and picking up equipment. UNTIL I spotted a sign saying "Garage Sale-Scrapbook Supplies, half off on Saturday." My husband instantly dropped me off while the garage sale was just closing up. It was fate. I went there and this guy had bought BOXES of overstock supplies from Fiskars. Everything was new and in the package and he had piles of each embellishments. EVERY SINGLE sticker sheet, chipboard packages, rubons, border stickers, flocked accents, felt button packages, etc was 30 CENTS EACH!!!! I started going crazy, they gave me a bag and I loaded up 97 different embellishment packages and it only cost me $29.10!!!!! Seriously made my day, probably my month!!! Just had to share. :)

Hootie

My husband and I saw "hootie" in our backyard! A big thanks to Shar for sending me this beautiful quickutz owl cut from her collection of owl dies! I love the oak leaves from the exclusive bear quickutz die. They are so cute! I had fun creating the little ribbon pleats using my tombo adhesive and a patient eye! I stitched the two photos together using my embroidering thread and border template. I used the quickutz notebook die for journaling. I used rainbow quickutz font and doodled on the letters for an example of the Scrapbuggy July Challenge which is to get creative with your quickutz fonts on your projects! Come and participate! Just create a project using your creativity with your quickutz fonts and post your project in the message boards under "challenges and contests" and you will be automatically entered in a drawing for the month of July!

Picnic

Just a quick card. I made it using moxie mini quickutz font and the ketchup and mustard from the Enjoy gift set.

Monster Party!

Yay! The Scrapbuggy Quickutz Exclusives are in!!! Here I made a little monster invitation with my monsters exclusives! I decorated this little guy with googly eyes and flowersoft moss to give the furry effect. I used moonlight quickutz font. Super fun to play with!

Scrapbook Retreat

These are the pink champagne cupcakes I made for the retreat for Sue's birthday (Tracey-if you are reading this...thanks for the recipe!)! I was able to finish my entire honeymoon album. I borrowed Sue's Relax quickutz set and Spicy Chicken font. Love! I also used my Archiver's exclusive coconut (cut from wood paper) and tropical leaves.

My impression of "Edward Scissor Hands" with dried coral reef! :)
