Prima Coffee Break Mini Album and Kit

Hi all! Just popping in to share a fun Mini Album I made using the Coffee Break Kit available at the store. It was a blast to put together and pretty quick, too! I have a video and some pics:

Prima Princess ATC Mini Album and Video Tutorial

Hello, all! I am back with another little album to share. I have used Prima's Princess Collection. The pages are made using the 4x6 ATC Pad, making it super fast and simple to put together. With a few Princess Collection embellishments, I was done! At the end of the video I share a simple tutorial on how to assemble the mini album. A Kit for this mini is available at ScrapbookMaven.com!!

Anything Goes at Kenny K's

Hello Krafty friends! Today is the start of the last Kenny K challenge of the year and, sadly, the last for the DT. If you hadn't seen the DT call, then I will tell you that in the new year there will be a whole new group to inspire everyone with Kenny K images.

I have had so much fum coloring up these sexy, spunky and fun images and will definitely miss being on the team, but bigger and better things await me I am sure!

Well, on to the meat of the post. The last challenge for 2013 is 

Anything Goes

Our wonderful sponsors this fortnight are

 Kenny K

5 Digis of winner's choice

Flonz

$20 Gift Certificate

For my card I used Delores D'ammage. I used an older Prima paper pad called Printery. Love it! The flowers and bling are also Prima., as are the dove and clock stamps that I used. 

I used my beloved Copics to color her... I hope you all like my last Kenny K DT card and join in this easy peasy challenge.

It's a Sign

Today I am sharing with you my card for Mo's Dream Team. I have used the image, Girl with Sign, which you can find at Mo's Digital Pencil.

The paper is Prima's Almanac. The brackets and the typewriter were cut from the pad. I paper pieced the sign with a computer generated sentiment. I tried for a typewriter look, then added the key stamp from Prima, and popped it up on dimensionals at the top. The flower is also Prima. Can you tell I like Prima? lol

I went to town with some Shabby Pink Frantage, even got some in her hair, oops!

Fairy Fae

Good morning fellow crafters! We have a new challenge for you at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog:

Fuzzy Friends

We are being sponsored this week by Magnolia-licious with a surprise prize! 

I had the pleasure of working with this gorgeous stamp by Delicious Doodles called 'Fairy Fae'. I colored her up with my Copics and used my favorite paper pad of the moment: Prima's Nature Garden! I can't seem to get bored with it like the rest! I guess it's time to by some new paper, so I can get some variety!

I used Wild Orchid Craft roses and Prima flowers and some Say it in Crystals bling. I printed the digital image again and colored two of the butterflies and cut them out for some extra decorations around the card and called it finished. I wanted it pretty simple to focus the attention on 'Fairy Fae'.

I hope you all like it and I want to say a big thank you to all who are following me and commenting. It means a lot to hear such wonderful comments! Have a wonderful Sunday and don't forget to join in the fun at Stamptacular Sunday.

Thinking of You

It's Sunday again and the challenge over at Stamptacular Sunday is "not just an ordinary card". No flat cards allowed! The sponsor of this challenge is Birdie Brown with the winner getting their choice of three digis! For this challenge I made an easel card, a style which I absolutely love but haven't done lately. I made it for my 89 years young Grandma who just had back surgery (not usually done on someone her age!). It was strange seeing her so helpless and immobile, since she is usually going, going, going! (I swear she can run circles around me), but she is doing really good considering. I made this for her to let her know that even though I don't visit as much as I'd like that I was still thinking of her and wishing her a quick recovery! 

I finally got my "big" Wild Orchid Crafts order last week and had to use some of my new flowers! I also won a challenge over at the Cupcake Craft Challenge a while back and received my beautiful Prima flowers from Crafts U Love and had to use some of those, too!

I used Prima Madeline papers and the image is of course "Whispy" from Saturated Canary colored with Copics. I added some glitter glue to her wings for some added glitz! The way I did the inside allows for my Grandmother to put the card at three different angles depending on what she wants: where I have pictured it, using the pearls as a stop, or using the sentiment frame as a stop.

 I really love this card style and can't wait to see what you all come up with for this "No Flat Card" challenge!

Sassy Birthday Girl

It's another challenge over at Stamptacular Sunday! It's one everyone loves: no rules! A super easy one just don't forget to stamp! For my card I used the adorable image "Sassy Sally's Big Cupcake" and My Mind's Eye's Dolled Up paper pad! I tried a fun card, I think it's called a recessed frame card. I watched a youtube video by Biata of Splitcoaststampers and it was a really simple well done tutorial. There are so many fun things you could do with this card! I made this card with my niece in mind. I already  sent it off and hope she enjoys it. She is turning 3, just one month older than my daughter, which is really neat!

I

I am on a turquoise/aqua kick, so be prepared for future posts! Isn't she a cute image! She reminded me of my niece and I tried coloring her similarly. Decorated with my favorite embellishment: Wild Orchid Craft flowers!

I hope you all find some inspiration and try out this different card if you haven't already! And don't forget to pop over to Stamptacular Sunday to see what my teamies have created and join in!

For my Hero

I've spent many hours farting around, downloading various and useless apps, signing up for various photo managing accounts, and trying them out and having very little success uploading photos from my iPad to blogger. BUT, I think I finally figured out a workable solution! Yay me! I'm sure there are better ways, but for  those interested, I will give you a brief step by step.

I think I will use Flickr to upload and edit my photos.  I can add a very basic watermark, which is cool! From there I go into the Blogsy app and drag my photo over to the post with my Flickr account. From there I can continue with my post or just save and post as a draft to my blog and work on it in blogger.  This is prolly common sense for most of you blog pros, but I had a really hard time figuring it out all on my lonesome:)

Anyways, back to the meat of the post! This is my card, ta-da. I am really loving using Mojo Monday sketches!  I used the computer for the main sentiment and regular stamps for the 'love' and 'forever'.

I used my silhouette to make the circle and scalloped circle.  I used Harper's Boutique by The Paper Studio for the dp, a Prima flower and Wild Orchid Craft leaves.  

This was made for my husband and the sentiment is so perfect.  He has helped me become such a better person with my self-esteem and confidence.  He is the positive to my negative, the social to my anti- social. He really is my better half in so many ways!

He really liked this card and I hope you all do, too! Have a fabulous weekend!
