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!

YOU ARE THE BEST

 For this card I knew two things... I wanted to use washi tape and I wanted to use some hearts I had previously cut out! 

I made this card for the February Card Challenge for Theme. This months theme is Love!

The pink background paper is from Echo Park's "Everyday Eclectic" line.

The ledger paper is from KI Memories.

Do you love washi tape too? I'm loving it right now! I used 3 different tapes on the background and one on a paper, just for some more color. I stapled the hearts on with Tim Hotlz's Tiny Attacher.

I added some stitching around the edges and added a Jillibean Soup "Soup Label" Sticker.

I'm LOST without you

Did you watch that crazy show called LOST? I did, and even though every week I had more questions than the last and the fact that I still don't quite understand the ending, I loved the show! Not to mention, Matthew Fox shirtless. Need I say more?!

 What in the world does that have to do with my card today? Well.. I'm a little obsessed with fonts. Especially free fonts! I got the Dharma Initiative font HERE.

I printed it in a light grey so it would be subtle yet you'd still be able to see it.

I used some washi tape, added some stitching and that was it!

Get Well Soon

I made this card using Clean & Simple #222 sketch.

It's also for the January Card Challenge for Technique which is Paper Flowers. You can find the tutorial, HERE.

I used Inkadinkado's "Sketchy Flourishes" with white ink, which you can see better in person, promise! I finished off the flourishes (say that 3 times fast!) with some tiny rhinestones.

I used Crate Paper's "Farmhouse" for the background paper and added some dark grey and used Fiskar's "Apron Lace" punch on it. I added some washi tape and some stitching to finish off the card.

The sentiment is by Hero Arts!

Ribbons, Bows and Sweet Baby Toes!

Time to come back to reality today!

For today's card, I got inspiration on Instagram from @robinsnestscrap. Go check her out on Instagram!

Or you can check out here blog, HERE. She made a layout using crepe paper for the background which she sewed on.

This is a Delight from American Crafts.

I used some white and yellow 1/2 pearls from Queen & Company.

Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 4

Today is our 2nd day in Cabo San Lucas!

Here's last years... check it out!

2011 - Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 4

Joey and I have Annual Passes to Disneyland, so I thought this was more than appropriate!

For this card, I used My Minds Eye "Love Me" collection. How cute are those hexagons?

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!!

Photo booth

  Don't you love how I mentioned posting every single day then I don't post for 2 days? lol. Ohhh life.

On Saturday, I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Ontario, CA. It was REALLY fun and I spent way too much money but.. I got some really good stuff too! I will be sharing it when I take photos.. I think the post will be over a couple days though, I got a LOT.

I made this layout for the October call for Scrapbook News & Review for Photo Booth photos.

I stamped the background with a toilet paper roll of all things! I just dipped them in paint and stamped away.

These photo booth photos were taken at my boyfriend's friends wedding. I added some Hambly and 3 Birds Rub-Ons.

For the title, I used foam Thickers called Giggles & Delight.

I also used some washi tape and some negative die cuts.

Journaling: I've always loved photo booth photos but Joey was never up for it. When we saw one at a wedding we were at, there was no getting out of it! I think the bottom one is my favorite.. It really shows off our goofiness! 5.19.2012

I love this banner! I've been making quite a few of these banners but this is by far had the smallest pieces!

I used Echo Park & Pink Paislee for this banner.

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!
