We WON!

Happy Thursday!

 



Yesterday my son's lacrosse team had a game and they won it 15-0.  WOOT!  It was very exciting especially since my son scored one of the goals for our team!!  Double WOOT!! lol  Just had to share the news...  They had two games last Saturday and they won them both also.  So hopefully they can keep up the good work!!

 



Now on to scrappy stuff.  I am loving this card I just made using Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy EZMount Stamp Set - Only Words - From The Heart and Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy EZMount Stamp Set - Flower Power.  I really think this collection of stamps from Sheena is spectacular.  I find myself pulling them out and using them over and over and over again.  (As you can probably tell from my projects if you follow my blog! lol) 

 

 



I stamped out the sentiment with Memento Paris Dusk ink onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I did the same thing with the flower stamp.  However, I did color the flower with my Spectrum Noir markers using CG1, CG2, CT1 and TB5.  After coloring them (I stamped out a few), I fussy cut them out. 

 



I pulled out my Ultimate Tool (which everyone should have) and made the bi-fold card base with dark blue cardstock. 

 



I was recently at Target and I couldn't help but look at their tiny collection of scrap goodies.  I found this American Crafter's Dots & Stripes 6x6 paper pad that I just had to have.  I loved how the lime green papers worked so well with the nice dark blue cardstock base.  As you can see this card went together super quickly. I layered the papers on my card base, added the sentiment, adhered the flower with a double sided adhesive square for dimension and then finished up the front by adding a tiny bit of Stardust Stickles to the flowers and a few Lettuce Skittles to a couple of the corners.  (Get your Skittles HERE)

 



I finished up the inside of the card also using one of the flowers I had made and two of the smaller flowers from Sheena's Flower Power set.  I left an area blank so I could add a personal message when I mailed it.

 

2nd card made with my Party Paws CD-Rom.

 

 When I made the Party Paws card that I posted on Monday, I printed out a second shaped card paper to photograph for my blog post but when I finished up the post it was just sitting there on my scrap desk all cut out and ready to be made into a card.  So of course I had to finish it up!  I printed it out on different paper so it is a little brighter.  I used Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock instead of Luxury Centura Pearl Cardstock.     Both worked great and look good but I think I'm liking this one better.  I love the crisp, bright colors.  The LCP cardstock has a pearl finish which is gorgeous but softens the colors a bit.  Tell me what you think.

Well that is enough for now.  I'm working on a double page layout that is almost done so that will be coming soon.  Thanks for stopping and looking today.

 

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Party Paws Papercrafting CD

Have you guys tried out the new Papercrafting CD's from Crafter's Companion yet?  I recently bought the new Party Paws stamp set bundle and the CD came with it if you purchased the bundle. 

 



So yesterday when I was feeling no creativity at all I thought I would check it out in hopes that it would inspire me to scrap.  And boy did it!!!  There is so much on this little CD-ROM!  It is loaded with goodies to get you creating.

 





I looked and looked (It was easy to get caught up in just looking because there is so much to see!) and then I finally decided to make a shaped card.  This was super quick and easy.  I just pulled up Shaped Cards and picked which one I wanted to make.  Then I decided on the size and printed two copies out onto a piece of Luxury Centura Pearl Printable Snow White Cardstock. 

 

Next I cut out around the printed image of the main card. 

 

Then I trimmed around the bottle and the champagne glass on the second printed sheet.  I adhered these pieces to the first card base with double sided adhesive squares to give dimension to my card.  And then for a bit more fun, I put Glossy Accents on the champagne glass and bubble to give it extra shine.

 

 



I pulled out my Ultimate Tool and scored a fold line.  Then I went back to the CD-ROM and pulled up the Sentiments.  I chose two, one for the inside and one for the outside. 

 

 

After printing and cutting them out, I inked the edges of one and added it to the inside of my card. 

 

 

I grabbed some ribbon from my stash and my Ultimate Tool and made a bow.  I added this sweet little bow and 3 Meadow colored Skittles to the other sentiment and then adhered it to the front of the card with double sided adhesive squares.  I just love these Skittles that my friend Carri at DoubleClick - AKA Abusybee Blog makes. They come in a ton of fun colors.  You can get some of your very own HERE.

 

 

So there you have it, a super fun, super quick card that took minutes to make.  I'm thinking you should get this CD-Rom for your very own collection.  What do you think?

 

Thanks for visiting today!

 

Until next time...happy scrapping!
