All That Scraps Review -- CC Designs

Hello!  Just a quick post to share some little Valentine's Day treat holders.  Yes, I wrote Valentine's Day!  I know it's not Christmas yet but All That Scraps is way ahead of the game and has released some cute Valentine's stamps.

The Meoples are back!  This set is called Love is in the Air.  It comes with the three images here and some cute little conversation hearts kind of sentiments.

I added some glossy accents to the heart which doesn't show up here but looks super shiny in person.

Here's the girl.  The little holders are from PTI.  The hearts are from MFT.

I thought I'd save these to give to some teachers next year.  I know I'll have to make more.

I also wanted to share this.  It's exactly how I feel about exercise!  I love these ecards.  They always crack me up!

Thanks for reading!

Playing catch up ...

Hi!  So yesterday instead of staying home and doing my usual Sunday chores like laundry, I went out for lunch with my hubby while our kiddies were in Sunday school.  Those couple of hours were fun cause I got to eat yummy and spicy ramen.  Though it wasn't that spicy but they call it spicy.  Anyway, now I feel like I have ton of stuff to do today including laundry!  Not to mention there was a ton of traffic coming home this morning after dropping my kids off because of an accident, AGAIN.  I spent some time at our local drug store trying to wait out the traffic and bought Halloween candy to give away and probably eat too.  So much yummy candy!

Well, I have a Make it Monday post up over at All That Scraps blog.  Please check it out.  I don't think I'll be posting it here.  Well, here's a peek. 

This is my simple version of the cups I made in a previous post.  I thought these might be cute to give to my kiddies' classmates.  Well, minus the banners at the top.  Just the cup with the pumpkin face.  Simple enough to make about 50 or so?  Oh, even better, I'll make my kiddies glue the face on! 

And I just now am having some time to post the card I made using Melissa's sketch from TGF's SCS forum last week.  Better late than never!

I kind of turned the sketch.  This is another Miss Anya from the Scarves set.  I loved coloring these girls up in their winter clothes.  The sentiment is from TGF's new Sparkling Season set.

A little close up.

All right, I gotta get ready to head out again.  And I still didn't finish the laundry!  Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with everything when I get back.

Thanks for reading!

CC Designs 6th Birthday Blog Hop!!

Please click HERE for Perfect Paper Crafting and Faber-Castell Blog Hop.

************************************************************************************

Hello!!  It is CC Designs (All That Scraps) 6th Birthday/Anniversary!!  We are celebrating by having a fun blog hop.  All That Scraps is a fabulous place to find all your stamping/scrapbooking needs.  I've been shopping and browsing at ATS way before being on the DT.  It's actually the first online store that I discovered The Greeting Farm stamps!  I love all the new stamps that Christine has been designing as well.  I love the Meoples and the new Tumbleweeds and this cute little Peep you'll meet soon.  And her Sugar Plums and Swiss Pixies are so adorable!

Well, let's get on with the hop!  If you have arrived here from Nancy's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you can start from the beginning at All That Scraps blog. 

This little guy is Peep Balloon.  He is so cute and easy to color and so versatile for any occasion.  I stamped him standing or maybe about to be floating away from the bench which is also from CC Designs.  I've had that bench stamp for a while now and it's actually the first time I'm using it.  The grass, flowers and banners are all CC Cutters dies.  Nothing says birthday to me like rhinestones, banners and balloons.  All papers are from Doodlebug including that 6.

Here is a close up.  The sentiment is from For My Gal.  It was perfect since it's a clear stamp and I could see where I was stamping it.

Next on the hop is Anita.  I am sure she has something amazing to share.

Hi!  Sorry, I don't have a card or project to share today.  But I am working on stuff and soon I'll be able to share them with you.  It'll be busy next week!  I'm just popping in today to announce that CC Designs will be celebrating their 6th birthday next week and is having a sale on their great products right now.  See HERE for the details.

Hope you are enjoying your Friday!  We have a holiday today so we got to start the weekend early.  For me it was just an extra day of cleaning and of course some crafting too.

Thanks for stopping by!

hello chickie!

Hello!  The weather here is still a little wet and still a little windy!  Like a mild hurricane.  Every so often there is a strong gust of wind.  We recently took our kids to the Pali Lookout.  They had so much fun fighting the strong winds.  And there were chickens!  And little chicks too!  We get so excited when we see little farm animals.  Kind of like how we get excited seeing a squirrel when we travel to the mainland.  Haha.  After, my hair was all twisted and tangled.  Good thing my daughter had hers in a ponytail.

Here's a little tag I made to share over at All That Scraps -- Anything But a Card. 

The little cutie is called Cracked Lula.  I used a bunch of stamps and dies on this tag.  The sentiment is from Eggstra Special Sentiments and the bird from Birdie Day.  The dies I used are Eggs die, Chickadee die, Grass border die and Four Season Fence die.  You can find all these at All That Scraps.  The tag itself is from Papertrey Ink.

I paper pieced the egg and added some liquid pearls to the smaller egg die cut. Papers are from Doodlebug.

Alrighty, that is it for now.  Thanks so much for reading!

MarkerPOP & All That Scraps Blog Hop!

Hello everyone and welcome to the MarkerPOP! + All That Scraps Blog Hop!!!

   

MarkerPOP! is the home of premium markers plus lots more! 

All That Scraps is the home of C.C. Designs stamps which we all know and love! 

Today we are teaming up to share some amazing projects using the new C.C. Designs release along with some of our favorite coloring tools from MarkerPOP.com. If you are just joining us on the hop, you are going to want to start back at the beginning of the hop list which can be found at the end of this post!

My card features CC Designs Beautiful Lucy.  I love this stamp!  She is just as her name says, beautiful.  The papers are from Authentique Celebrate.  I added some white twine, and the butterflies and grass were made with fabric washi tape.  Both the butterflies and grass are cut from All That Scraps' CC Cutters.  The sentiment is from Butterfly Labels and was heat embossed in white.   

I used colors that I think are non-traditional for a butterfly but I wanted to match the pinwheels on the paper.  Lucy's wings are paper pieced.  The bottom layer I colored with my Copics.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the wings in white onto vellum and placed that over the colored wings.  Then I added Lucy's body over the wings.  I love how her wings look.  Kind of transparent.  Then I added some black rhinestones to her antennae. 

Now, onto the giveaways!  We have a couple awesome prizes up for grabs!

All That Scraps Make it Monday

Hello!  I know I haven't been posting much lately.  Just thought I'd take a little break from crafting to slug out.  But I have made a few cards this weekend so I'll share them over the next few days.

Today I have a tutorial posted over at All That Scraps.  Please head over there to check it out.

It'll probably look familiar since I have made a few of these before.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Altered Clipboards

Hello!  So did everyone enjoy the post by Cheryl?  Wow, it has definitely been a while! 

Today I have a couple of clipboards to share over at All That Scraps Anything But a Card Day.  On one of my trips to our local Ben Franklin store, I saw these cardboard clipboards.  They were smaller in size than usual, about 7 in by 9.5 in.  But the best part was that they were only a $1 each!!!  I didn't know what to make with them at first besides just altering them but then I saw a roll of self-adhesive white board paper which was also on sale and then I had an idea.

I thought it would be cute to add the white board paper to the clipboard and it can be hung up somewhere.  The hardest thing was trying to cut out the paper nicely around that clip.  So once I did it close enough I traced it onto scratch paper so I could use it again as a template.  I also wrapped the edge of the clipboard with washi tape.

This is Fairy Abigail.  She is so pretty!  I did something a bit different with her wings.  I stamped them onto vellum and cut them out and glued just the edge by her hair.  I added some stickles and liked that transparent look.  The sentiment is from Butterfly Labels.  Mostly I am proud that I used some of these flowers and pearls and rhinestones!  I've had these a while.

This is the second one I made using some cute Doodlebug cardstock and the new stamps from CC Designs called The Tumbleweeds.  This cutie is from Butterfly Dreams.  The butterfly die cut is also CC Designs Butterfly Border die.

Here's a close up.  I like her as a blonde too.

It's Spring Break for my boys this week but I seem to have caught a cold or something.  Funny thing is that my kids aren't sick.  I caught something all on my own.  My nose gets stuffy every time I sit for too long so I'm trying to stand up every so often.

Alrighty, thanks for visiting today!

Meoples Gift Card Holder

Hello!  I've been meaning to post this.  I made a gift card holder for my kids' Sunday school teacher for Christmas and thought the Meoples' Nativity set would be perfect.  I used the digi set but there is also a rubber stamp set.  These are so cute as are all the Meoples!

This is the front.  It looks like a regular card with ribbon tied around to keep it closed.  The sentiments also come in the set.  The angel is so sweet!

This is the inside.  I folded up a portion of the cardstock to create a little pocket to hold 2 cards.  Aren't these Meoples adorable? 

It has been so cold and windy here!  I think we are being blown away! 

Thanks for reading!
