Echo Park OH,SNAP

Love me some Echo Park!!! I was asked to do a couple layouts for store displays at Craft Warehouse with the OH, SNAP line. What a fun line to play with. I just love the colors. I chose a pic of my besties for the layout. We hardly ever see each other anymore since we all live in different areas but when we do get together it's like old times.
 



I could layer all day long I think :) The sticker accents are great in this line! I love the cameras!!
 
I'll be up again tomorrow with another LO from this line.
Check out this line and play around with all the great papers and stickers!!!

Instagram Layout

 
Here's another store display for Craft Warehouse I did. I did 8 scrapbook layouts. Some were 12 x 12 and some were in different size page protectors. I used a number of my instagram photo's for this one. I like how it turned out and it kinda makes me wanna try Project Life or Simple Stories or something like that.
 
I used the My Minds Eye Collectables line by Jen Allyson again.
 
 
Lots of embellishiments and journaling. Fun!!

A day at the park

Here's a layout I made for a store display for Craft Warehouse. I got a chance to use the My Minds Eye Collectible line by Jen Allyson. This line is so beautiful. I never scrap with these colors cuz I have boys so I gravitate to the dark blue's, green's, gray's and brown's and so on. I picked this picture of me and my boys mostly because it matched the paper so well but also because I've been wanting to scrap it for EVER!!!
 

I splattered some Mister Huey's Ocean and Pretty Pink in a diagonal across the page. Love those mists! I cut out the hexagon's and placed them where I wanted them, using foam adhesive on a few to give dimension. The tittle is American Crafts Thickers and the Tiny Words form the My Minds Eye line. Washi and enamel dots are also My minds Eye
 
 
 
What a fun journey this has been and I can't wait to share more!

Dream Job!!

I recently got the opportunity to do some store samples at my local craft store Craft Warehouse. This is my DREAM job by far!!! I have used Craft Warehouse for all my crafting needs ever since I moved here in 2003. I would walk around and look at the samples and think, I so want that job!!! Well what do ya know but a friend of mine started doing store samples for them which gave me the courage to ask the manager about it. Long story short, I got to do some fun stuff this past week with Doodlebug Designs INC, My Minds Eye, and Kaiser Crafts.  Can I get a heck yeah?!?!?!
 
In this post I'll show these fun journals I decorated with the
Doodlebug Design INC Take Note collection.
 


The one on the left I covered with the Bubblegum - Sugar Coated cardstock. Then I embellished with the This & That Cardstock Stickers that came in the 12 x 12 paper pack. I used the Tally washi tape and Doodle twine. All of this was from Doodlebg Designs INC.
 
 
 



This one was so fun to play with. I made a washi tape banner using the Doodlebug Designs INC Tally washi tape, Glitz Anchors and Rainbow Chevron washi tape, and Queen & Co. trendy tape. To make the scallop banner, I layed 3 strips of washi tape on some wax paper overlapping it a bit. Then I cut out a circle in the tape, removed the wax paper and folded it in half over the twine. With the pennant banners I just folded a strip of washi tape over the twine then cut an inverted "V" in it.This one was so fun!!!




 
With this one I used the Mini Pockets in the Take Note line as an embellishment. This one turned out so bright and fun! The thickers at the top are American Crafts.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
And who doesn't want a washi tape pen?!?! Love this one.
All of these were so fun to make. I can't wait to share the other things I made so come back soon and check it all out!!!

On A Roll!!

Told ya I caught the bug :)
 
Made some more cards and just had to share.
(disclaimer - my camera won't charge anymore so I now have to use my phone to take pics)
 
 
 
Here's an Easter card made with the Cosmo Cricket Together line again. I added stitching along the edge. Fun! Who knew I'd like to sew.
 
 
I made some glitter tape with my double sided tape. I think it turned out quite pretty for someone who tends to stay away from anything shiny. This was fun though.
 
Thanx for taking a look. I may make some more soon so come back soon please!

Can You Feel The Spring?!?!?!

Not sure about where you are at but here in the Pacific Northwest it's been beautiful today!!! Sunshine and no rain makes for a great day!
 
I have never been a card maker so this was a fun and exciting experience for me. I got challanged recently to make some cards and hit it full force. Not really sure why I have never made cards, maybe I thought I wouldn't use them but after making these and having so much fun doing so, I think I might just make some more :) Fun Times!!
 

This was the first one I made and I went a little nuts. Those felt flowers were so much fun to make and I had paper to match from the Basic Grey Euphoria paper pad so I went to town!! Stamped the Thank You with the Alphabets stamp set from Stampin Up. Added a doilie and some enamel dots from Theresa Collins.
 
 
 
 
 
This one I used the Cosmo Crickt Toghether paper pack. Fun paper to work with. I used the Spring stamp set from Stampin Up for the quote. Added twine and there you go.
 
I really had fun making these cards and I think I caught the bug :) Might have to make some more tonight!!
 
Thanx so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
