me and You Tube.

I'm really starting to love You Tube. If you didn't already know, I started my own official channel about 6 weeks ago. I started off with haul videos and now I'm doing a little thing called a Weekly Round-Up where a showcase all of the projects I complete in the week. I'm really enjoying filming videos and I never thought I would! I'm 'meeting' a lot of talented ladies and I've come to call a few of them  my friends.

Well, in 6 weeks would you believe my channel has already reached 100 subscribers? Me? Why would anyone want to watch what I have and listen to what I've got to say? It really amazes me and I'm really blessed and lucky to have such awesome support.

So as a thank you to my supporters and to celebrate my 100 subscribers milestone, I'm doing a giveaway! Check out the details on my video below....

Thanks for visiting today! Have a fabulous Sunday! :)

DeNami Saturday + Weekly Round-Up & Haul video!

Good Morning everyone!

Gonna make this quick today since my family's schedule is pretty tight and I'm actually blogging LIVE instead of prescheduling this post.

Today, I wanted to share a simple DeNami card I made using the ADORABLE Cartwheeling Chickies!

 

I was so tired last night but I wanted to make a CAS card before going to bed. Lately I find that if I still have creative juices flowing, but I really need to do something else (like SLEEP! *lol*) I try and make a quick, clean and simple card. :)

So I used the super cute Cartwheeling Chickies and stamped them on my White CS base. I used Magenta and Golden Tangerine on the bottom of my card to make it look like they were cartwheeling on a ledge. :) I finished it off with the Hey Chickie sentiment (one of my favorites!)

Before I head off today, it's time for my Weekly Round-Up video for the week... I included a little scrapbooking haul from RitzCamera.com too. :)

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a fabulous weekend! :)

DDSB Challenge: Punch Me! :)

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post. Thanks! ** 

Hello again, everyone!

This week's challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's Best is: PUNCH ME! Create a card using punches or die cuts. :)

Simple right?

Ok, so I know you're probably tired of me using these die cut clouds from PTI, but I couldn't help it - The Summer Fun Doodles 2 set from Digi Doodle Shop is perfect for them!

So  with the clouds from PTI and the kite from the Summer Fun Doodles 2 set, I kept my card super duper simple. I stamped the kite twice and colored it in with my Copics and popped it up with my dimensionals along with the clouds. The sentiment is from another set from PTI. My card base is from DeNami. :)

Simple and scenic, right? My favorite!

Thank you so much for visiting today! Be sure to check out what the rest of the DDSB DT has in store for you and I hope you get to play along with us this week! You may win a guest spot on the DT! :)

TGF Scrapbooking Challenge: Jacilynn's SKETCH

Hi Everyone!

Well, I have to say, this a bittersweet day for all of the TGF Scrapbooking Guest DT... Our term has finally come to an end and it's our last challenge!

We're going out with a bang - it's a SKETCH CHALLENGE by my fabulous pal Jacilynn!

You all know how much I love sketches, but I love to tweak them to my style too. :) Here's my take on it!

 

Super simple layout - I used more of my Echo Park Summertime goodies! The sentiment is from the old Spotlight TGF Scrapbooking kit and the flowers in the corner are from the Sunshine kit. I thought it would be nice to make my last layout using a stamp from each kit. :)

I can't believe my TGF Scrapbooking Guest DT term is over! I had a wonderful time forcing myself to get back into scrapbooking and creating a layout once a week! I've scrapped more than I ever had in the past 12 months! This was an experience of a lifetime and it really was an honor working with such a talented group of ladies. I've been so inspired and amazed by what everyone came up with every week!

Marie & Jessica - thank you for such a fabulously wonderful experience! I was a fan of TGF before all of this and I now feel like part of the family. Thank you so much.

The TGF Scrapbooking Guest DT: Angela, Angie, Claudette, Jaci, Jeannette, Lysa, & Lynda - It was truly an honor for my work to be posted next to yours. You all never ceased to amaze me with your creativity! I'll always be a fan!

Thank you all for visiting me today! Hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to create more scrapbook layouts for you to enjoy! :)

My first tag swap.

Hi everyone!

I apologize for being quiet these past couple of days. It's been pretty busy and I haven't had a chance to do any extra crafting because I had to make these:

I participated in my very first tag swap over at The Scrap Beach! It was a lot of fun, but I admit, it was A LOT of work! The theme was "Vintage Butterfly" - we had to incorporate a butterfly and we also had to incorporate a handmade flower. So I returned back to my lollipop flowers and created more...and burned my leg in the process with glue from my hot glue gun - ouch! But it was totally worth it. :)

Here's a closer look:

 

I used my SU! Sizzix Top Note die for the shape of the card, used some chipboard and layered some Tim Holtz paper on the front. I glimmer misted the front with some Marshmallow Glimmer Mist and also distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

 

I stamped and embossed the front with a stamp from Tim Holtz (can't remember the name of the set), but I'm so not thrilled with the turnout because the image didn't stamp evenly - on ALL of the cards! Boo. The butterfly is from a Martha Stewart punch and I added some green Smooch Spritz to give it a little shimmer and added a little bling. The fibers are from my stash that I had collected 10 years ago - who would have known I would use it now! Sure came in handy! :)

What do you think? Do I have the chops to hang with the Vintage world? Hmmm... I'm still a little unsure if I am, but it's fun trying.

Thanks for visiting today! :)

fabric flowers + Weekly Round-Up Vid!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!

Today I wanted to share something different but still crafty - I've been really getting into making these satin fabric flowers!

I've been really getting into watching haul videos and tutorials on You Tube and am really digging the vintage look. Granted, it's not a style that I'm good at, but I really do like all of the vintage stuff I see out there! I'm thinking of dabbling in vintage too.

And then I've been seeing a bunch of these fabric flowers everywhere - I knew I had to give them a try!

I learned how to make this flower by watching THIS video. I had a great time making it - even though it was a little time consuming! I made about 12 off these to send off to a swap that I signed up for on another forum. It's not the exact flower I sent off, but you get the idea. It's my first scrappy swap so I'm excited to see what kind of flowers I get in return!

Anyway, thanks for visiting today! Here's my Weekly Round-Up video for last week! :)

Happy Birthday Ady! + a haul video

Good Morning, everyone!

I honestly don't remember how Ady and I "met". I think we met at the old messageboard that used to be Scrap In Style TV... Anyway, it doesn't matter how we met, just that we're friends now. We live on opposite coasts, but we still manage to be scrappy pals over these last couple of years. Wish we lived closer so we could scrap together ALL the time! :)

So yesterday was Ady's birthday and I wanted to send her a card. I had to time it just right and hopefully, she gets it in the mail today... I meant to send it on Tuesday so she could get it on her actual birthday, but I couldn't get to the mailbox in time. So with any luck she gets it today. (Ady, if you didn't stop looking now! *lol*)

I decided to use one of my newest TGF stamps Cheeky Mate from the Cheeky Cherry Collection. She may be one of my favorite images from TGF right now. She's super fun to color and I just love how she's just sitting there all sassy. :) I used mostly my old May Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit and the sentiment is from PTI.

Ady, I hope you like your card and I really hope your day was FABULOUS!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh and before I forget, I have another Haul video to share with you all:

DeNami Friday!

Hello and Happy Friday, everyone! 

It's been one pretty busy week here on my blog, hasn't it? Just when I thought I'd see an end to my craziness with crafting, I'm getting caught up with a TON of projects!

Now that I've officially moved my scrapbook/stamp stuff into my bedroom (my poor DH!) I'm finding more time to craft and create. Yay for me!

I wanted to pop in and show my latest DeNami card. Super simple for today - I'm really falling in love with CAS (That's "Clean and Simple" for those who don't know... And I only found out a couple weeks ago! *lol*)

My card today features the Aloha stamp from DeNami and I used my favorite Magenta and White CS (for my card base) and some DP from the Tropical Splash Sampler. I stamped my sentiment in Versamark and made it pop out with clear embossing powder (even though you can't see it in the pic!).

I even made an inside to this card too:

A little strip of extra DP and a little sentiment on the inside of a card goes a long way, don't you think? For the inside I used the Sending You Sunshine stamp - I think it added a perfect little touch, don't you?

Thank you all for visiting today! Stay tuned for more this weekend. I've got lots in store for you all! :)

Have a fabulous Friday!

DDSB Challenge: ANYTHING goes!

**This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL down or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks! **

Good Morning, everyone!

It's time for another Digi Doodle Shop's Best DT Challenge: Anything Goes!

This is everyone's favorite time of the month because, that's right, ANYTHING - and we mean anything - goes!

On to my card:

I used the super adorable Hoot Owl image and colored him in with my Copics. I kept my design super simple and placed him on some sky blue CS from DeNami, punched out some white clouds with my PTI clouds dies and used my fence punch from Martha Stewart. Easy peasy!

Hope you all will be able to join us this week at DDSB! Can't wait to see what you create! And for more inspiration, visit the rest of the DT's blogs:

TGF Scrapbooking Challenge: Summer Vacation!

Hi everyone!

The Greeting Farm Scrapbooking Guest DT has another scrapbooking challenge for you! Create a layout about Summer vacation using the SUNSHINE kit! Sounds easy enough, right?

Here's my take on the challenge!

I finally used my Echo Park Summertime paper and stickers with a few perfect SUNSHINE stamps. I think they worked together perfectly!

We actually haven't been on a vacation in the summer in SOOO LONG. Usually, we take our Disneyland trips during the school year (since J wasn't  in school yet) and when it was DH and I we would go to Hawaii during the off season to avoid the crowds. Now that we have kids, I guess we'll be looking forward to Summer vacations more often, right?

Anyway, I hope you decide to join in on this challenge this week! See The Greeting Farm blog for more details and maybe you get to win a little prize! Good luck!

Thanks for visiting today! Hope it's a fabulous one!
