Do you know Tilda?

I'm talking about Tilda from Magnolia stamps....she's super cute and has a HUGE fan base. I thought I'd try a Tilda stamp out, so I bought one - "Tilda with a Heart". I used Pink Paislee "Vintage Vogue" pp and a Crafter's Workshop stencil to mist the flower background.

Mr. Driver

Hi guys, I wanted to share a quick layout today using My Little Shoebox "Destination" line. It was up on MLS blog recently, and it was also featured on Paper Crafter's Corner, so please stop by there to read more about it!

Halloween anyone?

Ok, I made this back in October, but haven't shared until now. It's an altered cheap little wooden plaque. I got it for 50 cents at my daughter's school sale. Might have been hand-made. Painted over the sides with orange acrylic paint, then covered with crackle medium, and then painted over it with black - makes for a cool black-on-orange vintage crackle effect. Then covered the inside with some paper, and went to town decorating. Added glossy crackle accents to some of the stickers, and half pearls for the pumkin's eyes - that was my daughter's favorite part :)

Winter Sport

DH loves to go skiing with Morgan, although it doesn't happen very often. So I thought they'd like it if I scrapped a pic of them skiing :) The pp, stickers, letters, and die-cut roll up flowers are all from "Winter Wonderland" from My Little Shoebox. Love the colors!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Thought I'd share another cute kraft bag I altered. I got 13 of these at Michael's for $3 (after coupon), so they're a great deal. I used the adorable "Grow" stamp set from Some Odd Girl, and colored her up with Copics. The pp is Pink Paislee "Vintage Vogue" and a little bit of Echo Park's Valentine's pp from last year. The lamp is a Tim Holtz die - this is actually a die cut that Kathy was so sweet to send me :) Don't you think this makes for a perfect Valentine's Day gift bag? Although I'm thinking I'll probably use it for a friend's birthday or my mom's birthday. It adds the perfect personal touch to any gift.

Love is in the air!

It's a week full of love (and giveaways) on the Imaginisce blog, so make sure to stop by - today is the last day to enter! Here's a card I created using the Sole Sisters collection and my I-Top and bling for the "Love is in the Air" week:

Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition!!

I'm guessing none of my friends will be surprised to see that I'm applying for the Graphic 45 DT. I think I've made it abundantly clear that G45 paper speaks to me, inspires me, and brings out the best in me. It's vintage, futuristic, edgy, and daring, and I can think of nothing better than getting to play with it for a whole year as a DT member. So here goes....word of warning, this will be LONG! Also, all the way at the bottom, I'm including all the YouTube videos I've made about my G45 projects.

These are in no particular order, so I will start with a LO of me :)

A birthday card for my husband:

Another 2012 Calendar!!

I made another calendar! I think it's my 3rd one for 2012, but this one is for me to keep! Carrie had sent me a Maya Road bottle cap calendar kit (Thank you Carrie!) so I decided to make a calendar to hang in our kitchen. I heat embossed the Maya Road seasons words with my gold and silver regular embossing powders from WOW Embossing Powder. I alternated layers of gold and silver to get the distressed, vintage look. I also used some of my favorite paper ever - Graphic 45 "Once Upon a Spingtime". I could never get enough of that paper. This was such a fun project, and I used lots of fun techniques to put it together, so check out my video at the bottom of this post to hear more about it.

And here's my quick video about this project and how I assembled it:

It's official, I'm pretty darn odd :)

Ok, this is no news to me, I've known it my whole life...but now it's official - I'm an Odd Girl! I'm one of the new DT members for Some Odd Girl stamps and I will be on the Nouveau DT, working with this great new line from Some Odd Girl stamps. Check out the blog post HERE, and meet some of the other new DT members! I'm soooo excited, and now my Copics will be getting a regular workout :) Here's a card I made using "Believe", colored with Copics, and using Pink Paislee "Vintage Vogue".
