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.

Project Life - Week 4 - January 22-28

Week 4 is here! Believe it or not, I am caught up to now, just sharing slowly!

This week was a slow week.. Kal wore Papa's shoes around the house, Klayre & I went to the Duck Pond to feed the ducks.. we had a blast! And the girls were coloring on the kitchen floor on a poster board. Good times!

Week 5 is coming up on Thursday!

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!!

Halloween Gift Tags

 A really good customer of mine asked me if I could make 3 Halloween Gift Tags to put on some little bags of candy she bought for her sons Pre-School teachers for Halloween. I googled Halloween Tags and found the mummy and the eyeball.

 For the Pumpkin, I used Bella Blvd. "Full Moon" paper from their Too Cute to Spook Collection.

I used October Afternoon's Mini Marketplace "Green & Cream" alphabet stickers.

For the pumpkin, I cut it out of the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge and used washi tape for the backing. I then put Crackle Accents on top to add more texture.

I also added a curly vine with green craft wire.

I added a black eyelet, some black ink and 2 staples using my Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher.

 

The mummy is my FAVORITE!! For the mummy, I taped gauze (under the large amounts of gauze) to the tag and sewed around the edges. After that I wrapped gauze around the whole tag. For the eyes I used K&Company's Nightfall 1/2 pearls. For the rosy cheeks, I used Pebbles Inc. shimmer chalk.

I used October Afternoon's Mini Marketplace "Red & Cream" alphabet stickers.

I finished it off with a white eyelet.

For the eye, I simply cut a circle out of white cardstock and made lines with Christmas Red Stickles.

I then cut another circle with purple Core'dination's cardstock, which I scored and sanded.

I hand stitched a button on and used some Tulip Puffy Paint as the *sparkle*.

I used October Afternoon's Mini Marketplace "Teal & Black" alphabet stickers on the back on top of the other side of the Bella Blvd.'s "Too Cute to Spook" line.

To finish it off, I added a white eyelet at the top.
