Merry Christmas - Layout with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Good evening everyone, I hope you have had a wonderful crafty weekend and are ready to greet the week with cheer!  Today I have a layout made with some wonderful products from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

My papers are My Mind's Eye, a collection from a couple of years ago. I pulled some chipboards, flowers and ribbons from my stash to put my layout together.

I applied 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to cardstock, cut my sentiment on my Cameo, applied Japanese Lacquer EP and heat set.

 After coloring my large star from Technique Tuesday with Gelatos, I randomly stamped it with the Journal Mixed Media stamp set and VersaMark, and heat embossed with Pear Star EP. The sentiment here is from Camera Life, and I have heat embossed it with Black Detail EP.

I love adding little bits of lace and ribbon to my layouts, and these styles that are new in the shop at Sparkle N Sprinkle are perfect for my style!

To see all the details on this layout, visit My Gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a wonderful week!

Scrap Our Stash and Frosted Designs

Hi blogging buddies! 

Woohoo,, it is the weekend!

Today Frosted Designs is sponsoring the challenge at 

Scrap Our Stash blog. We have a very fun sketch with a twist for you

to play along with: 

use heart PP, and at least one each prepackaged

heart and arrow embellishment.

Here is a look at my layout

I have used the new MME Valentine line, Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Gold, 

Technique Tuesday chipboards, and Maya Road alphas.

I fussy cut the 3 hearts on the left

from one sheet of heart patterned paper.

For my prepackaged heart I am using the 

two large chipboard hearts from Technique Tuesday. I covered them with papers

from the same line. I also added some die cut stickers. 

Here is the sketch we are working with from Scrap Our Stash

You must also use 1 Heart PP, and at least one each prepackaged

Frosted Designs and Vintage Teresa Collins

Hi everyone- I dearly hope that where  ever you are

you are sunny and WARM.

I am hoping that my toes will thaw about before summer.

Just sayin'.

Ok, so today I have a new layout to share with you using some fabulous

stuff from Frosted Designs!!

My project today is made mostly with the Love Is In The Air Kit, with a little bit of 

other stuff from the store thrown in for good measure!

I have made 3 projects with this kit, and I am pretty sure I am going to make one more!!

Be sure to hop over to the store and get yours today!

Soooo,, my DD1 was a SR Camp Counselor this one year,, and she
had a unit of 2nd graders,,,, and this was Thursday night of camp week,
and it rained, and these little girls LOVED her,,

and she was so over it!

I have used the Teresa Collins papers from the Love Is In The Air Kit, and added

a few more Teresa Collins pieces- let's call them vintage. Yeah, VINTAGE- that's what they are!
These Vintage papers are brought to you all the way from 2008 and the Journal It line!
The chipboards are Technique Tuesday.

I started with spray inks on the background, then used Molding Paste, a stencil and the
Ranger Distress  Glitter to make the background. I colored my chipboard heart with
 Rose Metal Gelatos® and then added a little Heidi Swap Color Shine to it.

Flowers, Journal Card, and Alpha's are all from the kit. I used a black journal pen
 to add a little detail to the journal card.

Die Cut stickers from the kit to add a little detail in the upper corner. I used my Gold Gelatos® to color the  chipboard piece around the outside edge; the white accent is made with a Stampers Big Brush Pen from Faber-Castell®. The inner piece of chipboard was painted. For the heart chippie, I painted the inner piece white, then stamped the little tiny hearts on it.

 Look at my little cutie pie!

These little wood veneer arrows from Studio Calico are just too cute. I love to use
them for calling attention to something on a layout!


So there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week, and try to stay warm!!

Selfie - Frosted Designs Mixed Media Kit Reveal

Hi blogging buddies!  
Over on the Frosted Designs blog this week we are showing
off the new Mixed Media Kit. We are also introducing all of our team
and it is my turn to share a little bit about me, I
thought I would share it here too!

1. Well,, I am a paper addict- we all know this.

2. I love to garden, 

 3. I am a clean freak - I vacuum my ceilings. 

4. I am a sucker for a stray cat!

5. I am an avid baker and made custom wedding cakes for 15 years

and oh

6. I have a Masters Degree in Aeronautical Engineering. :o)

Yes, I am the proverbial Rocket Scientist.

So, enough about me and onwards to the fabulous

Frosted Designs Mixed Media Kit!

I was so happy to be able to play with it!!

How yummy is this kit??? You really will want one for yourself!

Here is the first project I made with mine.

Yes, my DD1 is the queen of selfies, she took them before

anyone even knew what they were!!

I used the stencil and the cream paint from the kit to make

my background.

I added some doodles around the photo edge with my White Pen. The
chipboard that the title is on is a Technique Tuesday boarder that I cut to size.

I love all these elements and how they all came together.

For a little color on my wooden button, I added a little bit of ink and

tied the black floss that was in the kit into a bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Be sure to order a kit for yourself- you will love it!

Girl Scouts Year 5 - Frosted Designs Chipboard Challenge

Good morning blogging friends!

Wow- we are having the best weather here in Dallas

it has been raining and highs only in the 80's- in AUGUST!

How is your summer shaping up?? Are the kids

back in school? So many of my friends are sending their kids back

already and it is so early! Although I am happy that I am past all

that, I do miss shopping for new school supplies. sigh. 

Today we have a new challenge up at Frosted Designs

and this week it is CHIPBOARD!! 

So we want to see some chipboard on those projects. 

You know I love some chipboard!!

Here is a look at my project

I needed a divider page for my Girl Scout album that I am re-doing so this

is what I came up with. My punches are MS and SU.

I used some old, old, old chipboard letters from stash for my title. I painted it with my Jenni Bowlin 

dauber and used my pen to accent it. The chipboard strip underneath is from

Technique Tuesday and I stamped it with StazOn.

I used some chipboard buttons from MME to accent my border of pennants.

This chippie is from Dusty Attic. I painted it with Olive Vine Silks from 

Splash of Color, sprinkled on some Enamelz and heat embossed. 

  For the pennants,, I used a die-cut sticker sheet that I bought at least 8 years ago. Seriously. 

It is from Heidi Grace - as is the paper I used here. They were a bunch of tabs- you 

know the kind you fold in half - so I just cut notches in the ends of them and made

them into pennants instead. 

Our sponsor this week is Moments of Tranquility

 Moments of Tranquility online store grew from the requests of the followers of Natasha Naranjo-Aquirre's Blog. Natasha shows such passion and love for her favorite products in her work that her blog followers often asked if she sold it, or could sell it... and so the online shop was born. Natasha stocks all of her very favorite items, specializing in Donna Salazar's Mix'd Media Inx and papers, Dusty Attic Chipboard & Blooms and beautiful papers by Pion Design and 7 Dots Studio. By specializing in a few select items, she can always offer the best service to her customers.

Natasha has donated a fabulous prize so be sure to link up your project over on the 

Frosted Designs Blog  by August 29th at noon CST. 

I am also linking my project up with the following challenges:

Southern Girls Challenge - "letter F" - Friendship - year #5 in Girl Scouts

Stuck Sketches - Sketch

I rotated the sketch to the left 90 degrees and instead of a photo I have a large title block.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend

One of my friends hot a new heart on Sunday-

Please send good thoughts for my friend Bill 

for him to have a wonderful recovery!

Today I want so share a layout that I made using a sketch from Sketches In Thyme 

and some new Prima papers.

I am so in love with the new Prima lines!!

I layered papers and embellishments from the Lyric line.

My chipboard is from Dusty Attic and I used Viva Decor glitter and paper pens on it. 

My chipboard is from Technique Tuesday and I used a Creative Imaginations 

rub-on to top it off. I am loving those Creative Memories Hexagon punches I 

picked up for $3 at a yard sale a few weeks ago!!

 These super cute brads are all from Prima too, as are the stamps in the 

corner - but they are super old! I am trying to use those stamps I

Book Signing - The Flamingo's Ride Again

Howdy blogging buddies!

Yes, I am still alive and well. I know it is a shocker since

I have not updated my blog in almost a week! 

I have been super busy designing some new classes and

let me tell you, my house sure does look like it!

I do have a couple of layouts done so tonight I want to 

share one of those with you :o)

Sooo,, all my friends but me are into the True Blood series of books (I don't do vampires). The lovely lady who writes these was in town to do a book signing and of course they drug me down there to stand in line with them. Wristbands were required - and it was a two person operation to get them on!

I have used Basic Grey papers and embellishments for this layout.

My chipboard here is from Technique Tuesday and I have colored it with my Gelatos® from Faber-Castell. I used my White Stamper's Big Brush Pen and Metallic PITT® Artist Pen to accent the bottom piece. My buttons are from October Afternoon. 

I am linking up at

Diva's By Design - Pink

I have several new classes coming up at The Crafty Scrapper

The Secret Garden Album using beautiful papers from Graphic 45

the Chasing Dreams album using a Maya Road Chipboard album and Authentique papers

And a Technique Class using Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft products.

You will make a fabulous 10X10 canvas while learning NINE different techniques 

using almost every one of their products!
