Project Life: Week 11 - March 12-18

 We're on Week 23 of Project Life already! I am still working on the middle of Week 20 though! Since I got so busy, I didn't have time to keep up with it. I did however get a chance to plan it out [click HERE to find out how I plan my weeks!]. I printed all my photos and wrote down all my journaling, it was just the putting it all together part that wasn't done.. so I'm in catch up mode now!

Here's my Week 11! Lots of Miss Pudge on this page! Don't you love that camera paper? It's by Echo Park! As always, love Simple Stories and Elle's Studio's Labels [If you haven't seen her stuff, you owe it to yourself to go check it out! click HERE to do so].

 The second half of the week was Klarye & I having a date! I then went to Joey's and had some delicious Reese's Cheesecake at a restaurant called Corky's. We ended the week with celebrating my boyfriend's niece's 18th Birthday! I also saw the issue of Paper Crafts Magazine that I was in at my favorite grocery store, Winco!

Here's my favorite card from this week. Klayre & I went to Target and she was playing a game on my phone.. and taking pictures, which I didn't know until later when I looked at my pictures!! Silly girl.

Warm Wishes

 This is the sketch I made for the November Card Challenge. Feel free to use it for your own personal use!

 This is the card that I made from the sketch. I used Echo Park's "Winter Park" collection.

This cute snowman is from that collection as well. I used a doily behind him since he is made from one! I used "Waterfall" Stickles on his hat for some sparkle.

The Rub-On is from Stampin' Up!'s "Season of Cheer".

I used a zigzag stitch to connect all the different patterned papers.

Scrapbook Expo Goodies!!

Last weekend I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Ontario, CA. Basically it is local scrapbook stores and small scrapbook businesses selling last years products for cheaper and the next years products as well. This is the first time I've gone to the one in Ontario. For the last 3 years, I've gone to the one in Anaheim. The fact that it's literally right across the street from Disneyland doesn't hurt either!

 I left the boyfriend at home and went by myself. By "left him at home", I mean, I told him he wasn't allowed to come with me, lol. 2 minutes in a Scrapbook store, he's asking if I'm ready to leave!!

Everyone that was there got these Mini Glue Dots.

 How cute are these stamps?! I couldn't help but get all of them! They're all made by My Mind's Eye. Can you guess how much they were? $2 each! Can you believe that?! Cause I still can't!

 I love all these flowers and leaves and for $1.75, I couldn't say no!

I love me some Rub Ons! I don't use them as often as I used to though. I got some Christmas Rub Ons from Stampin' Up and October Afternoon's 5 & Dime Rub Ons.

How cute are the Pink Paislee Rub Ons on the left? There's a sprinkler! So cute! The Rub Ons on the right are from Basic Grey's Olio line.

 The one thing I knew I'd be collecting more of is washi tape! I got all of the washi tape from K & Company. I got a yard of that light blue lace and I'm not sure what you call the other stuff! lol. But it looked fun.. it's in a sheet and it's from the craft store, Tall Mouse.

 Are you drooling yet? I *LOVE* these stickers from Jillibean Soup! love love love!

Both of these 12x12 sticker sheets are from Echo Park.

How cute is this one?! Oh the possibilities!

 Basic Grey's die cut pieces on the left and Fancy Pants Snips & Snails Chipboard on the right!

The Flower Wood Flourishes on the top left are from Kaisercraft. Not positive on the brand of the flowers and I got the Grover embellishments cause Grover is my niece's favorite character on Ses as she calls it. (Even if it's just regular Grover, she calls him Super Grover!)

Alright, on to the paper!

I'm not going to post all the names and collections the papers are from, but I will post the manufacturer! When I create a project with the paper, I will for sure add all the details!!

I got most of this paper for 6 for $1 and about 20 sheets was $.25 each.. there were a couple that I paid "regular" price for as well, but not many.. maybe, 3?

I'm going to post 2 pictures, one will be the front and the next will be the back. Here we go!

Fancy Pants & American Crafts  

 

Fancy Pants & My Little Shoebox

 

My Mind's Eye - That kraft paper is by far the thickest cardstock I've ever seen! On the bottom photo of the "backs"... the grey chevron is one of my favorites! I got 5 sheets of it, lol.

GCD Studios & Imaginisce (the teal cheveron is one of my favorites I got also!)

 

Pink Paislee, Pink Paislee & Pink Paislee! =] I got 3 of the dark blue and 5 of the yellow, love those as well!

KI Memories

 

I've never owned anything from Studio Calico and I LOVED all these prints, so I thought now was the time! It wasn't $5.75 though.. it was $4.00! I was kind of bummed to only see one vendor (that I saw anyway, and I looked at pretty much everything) had Basic Grey 6x6 paper packs. Hopefully they'll have more in January at the Anaheim Expo! I had 4 collections saved in my phone that I wanted to get!!

I really hope you enjoyed all my new goodies! I had a blast buying them and I can't wait to start using them when I get back from vacation! Have a great week everyone!!

October Card Challenge - Theme & Sketch!

I made this card for the October Card Challenge for the Sketch category. You can see the sketch, HERE. And as always, you can find all my sketches on Pinterest and on the left column of my blog

Both of these cards are for the October 20/20 challenge.

For this card I used Crate Paper's "Farmhouse", Basic Grey's "Plumeria" and Pink Paislee's "House of Three".

How cute is that fan paper? It's from Echo Park's This & That Collection. I added some more Pink Paislee & inked around the sentiment and stitched it up!

I made this card for the October Card Challenge for Theme, which is transportation.

I used a Transparency  to create this card and put blue on the inside to look like a sky.

I hand drew the plane and cut it out with Crate Paper, Pink Paislee & Echo Park!

I added some Glossy Accents on the windshield and some Queen & Company's Baby Blue 1/2 Pearls.

I added some cute clouds from Echo Park's "Everyday Eclectic" collection.

A Birthday & A Christmas Layout!

I made this layout for the October 20/20 Challenge and the October Scraplift your Favorites Challenge on Scrapbook.com. 

I lifted HappyGRL's "Yummy!" layout.

I used Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic (the same as the owls wings in my previous post) and I used Pink Paislee's Cozy Sweater for my journaling. 

The Thickers are Subway. Great, now I want a Cold Cut Combo. =] I always want a Cold Cut Combo though, lol. LOVE Subway!

Journaling: Tomato, Mozzarella, Salami & Basil Appetizers. Linguine & Clams. Carmel Drizzle Pie. The Birthday Hat. $100 in singles taped together as a scarf. Doheny Beach. My favorite spot to take pictures. Stuft Pizza. S'mores on the beach with the love of my life. And one fancy shmancy pearl seat belt purse.

My purse!

 

 I used My Mind's Eye's "The Sweetest Thing" for the number.. it's pink chevron on one side (the paper I used for my owl in my last post) and block numbers on the other. I used some washi tape and some die cut negatives for the hearts. I then added some stitching and used my tiny attacher!

I also added some white wood grain rub ons around the edges from EK Success.

This layout is also for the October 20/20 Challenge and for the Scraplift the person in front of you Challenge on Scrapbook.com. I lifted Lpeep's "Love" layout.

I think this may be the first layout I've ever made with more than one paper from the same collection. I never seem to do that. Probably cause I don't buy collections as a whole, I just buy the papers I like.

For the title I used Thicker's "Giggles". I couldn't decide between "Lights Out" or "Out like a Light". So, I put the layout on Instagram and asked for opinions!

Journaling: TT took you to go see Christmas lights one night. We stopped by the "music house" where the lights play along with the music. We thought it was off how the music that was playing wasn't even Christmas themed. We watched for about 10 minutes and you were awfully quiet. I thought you were just enjoying the show and when I looked in the backseat, you were sound asleep! When you stay awake, you love looking at Christmas Lights!

I used October Afternoon's Mini Marketplace Alphabet Stickers for her name and made a little banner out of the Cozy Sweater paper.

I want to say this Label is from Doodlebug Designs.. but I'm not positive. I printed the date on it.

World Card Making Day Cards!

Did you all have a good World Card Making Day? What did you do?

I stayed at home and made cards like crazy! I want to share the ones I took pictures of while it was still light out!

These cards are also for the 20/20 October Challenge

 I made this cute little owl out of My Mind's Eye "The Sweetest Thing" paper and added a little Echo Park's "Everyday Eclectic".

I made this card for Paper Smooches WCMD Contest #1, to create a card with pink on it.

 I used some black buttons for the eyes and some Echo Park for the beak!

I of course put a Pink Ribbon on her wing.

I just couldn't help my self with the sentiment!

Last but not least! A thank you - IOU card using Crate Paper, Echo Park & Elle's Studio.

Last night while I was falling asleep, I had an idea to use a negative on top of some patterned paper. I was too lazy to get up and sketch it out and I hoped that I wouldn't forget it in the morning! Luckily, I remembered! I think it would look cute with hearts too.. I'm going to have to try that as well!

I used a piece of Echo Park's This or That's "Ticket Please", it's a full sheet of old tickets, telegrams, library cards and things or that sort. I don't know if you can see it with this photo, but I used a deposit!

The thank you stamp is from an old Fiskars stamp set and the Thickers are called Sunrise! I used Crackle Accents on top of the letters to give them a little texture.

Is anyone keeping count of how many times I've mentioned Elle's Studio on this point? lol. It seems like a ton! I used their Lil' Snipplets: Tiny Note Labels. I also used some Crate paper and some washi tape for little banners!
