My Little Pony Birthday Banner

As you have seen before I made a My Little Pony banner for one of my favorite tiny humans! (Yes that's a Grey's Anatomy term, totally obsessed with the show!) Well her birthday was coming up and of course we needed a coordinating banner! So Tada!

I used the same color combo but embossed the back rounds and put her favorite ponies at the end! The party was so much fun and there were ponies everywhere! I am a pony fan so it was awesome!

Thank you for all the well wishes for my interview at the LSS! Guess what?! She loved my work and I am officially a part of the design team! I already picked some goodies out and can't wait to get started on one of the many projects to come!

My Little Pony Banner

Happy Tuesday!!! I had such an exciting weekend, I can't wait till tomorrow though. I am hosting an open crafty day at my house, this is where my friends can come bring whatever project they are working on and we can all craft together! So excited and this week I am getting a new craft table! So I am going to have to redo the entire room, hopefully it will all work out! 

Here is a recent banner I made for a friend, for her daughter! She is a huge My Little Pony fan and I wanted to capture that in the banner for her room, with the colors and the icons :) In the last picture you can see the banner in her room with all her ponies! This was so much fun to make, especially since I am a pony fan too! 

Thanks for checking out my blog! Happy Art Making! :)

Little Bebe

This was such a fun project for me to work on, usually I am  making little girl gifts and it was good to switch is up :). I really enjoy sharing my passion and letting others have a special place to hold their memories. This was an 8 x 8 album, which is a great size for gifts and can hold multiple photos! A tip I have for making mini albums as gifts, is to keep an open mind about picture size. I go with the standard 4 x 6 when making photo mattes and like to have "open" pages (pages without mattes) so photos can be added however the person likes. Do you have any tips for making mini album gifts?!

A few more days and its August I can't believe it, for me that means weddings galore! A friend is having her baby soon and we got her a little gift basket, so I was in charge of making the card. I've been in a little funk lately and not being able to find my mojo. But I guess a little pressure pushed me back into creativity lane! So tada here is the card :-) This is project 3/50 for me. I'm gonna admit I was bad and bought some scrappy supplies. Have you seen some of the new things from CM, I couldn't help myself :) Hope your starting off the week with a bang. Happy Art Making.

You Make It Challenge

Oppies this saved as a draft instead of posting ... im so sorry :P 

YAY its February already! I can't believe how fast the year is going by already. Well this month besides the fabulous sketch-a-thon that is going on at My Sketch World, I get to host a challenge (yay again).  So my challenge is called "you make it". Have you ever had a moment where you are at a scrappy store and you see something really cute and go "ohh I can make that", well now is your chance! 

Click here ---> YOU MAKE IT CHALLENGE 

Ok the details ... scallop paper is from Bazzill (medium square green tea). scrunched fabric, is actually book binding tape from Making Memories, its an oldie but goodie! They also make the pins that are the flag post and some of the brads. Some of the knick knacks on the edge of the frame are just from my treasure chest in my art room, including the real lacoste shirt label :) The little green luggage is from Junkitz. The little glitter letters are from Creative Imaginations. The big foam letters are from American Crafts, who doesn't love thickers! Bo Bunny found its way to the page too, its the photo mat (:

Flags/Pendants ... so I'm thinking of posting a video and a template so you all can make your own ... what do you think? HINT: if your going to scraplift this page, I cut a line closer to the bottom and put the flagpole (pins) in there, so they are actually behind the layout, I also tucked in the patterened paper, this is a good trip so you don't have to worry about hiding or covering up the ends of the flagpoles :)

Layout Time ...

It was a special someone's first Thanksgiving and I didn't take a lot of photo, ehhh! The layout did take a little while to actually make, because I wanted it to be perfect! I love working my title's into the layout, :Take time to watch the leaves turn". The cardstock is my favorite, Prism. The leaves are cut from Doodlebug fuzzy paper, I have all the colors and the stuff is super sweet and fuzzy :-) The leaves punch is from Ek Success. Some other fun things on the page are from Maya Road, Rusty Pickle, Junkitz, Making Memories and the mist from Tattered Angels.

Here I am on my 25th birthday :-) I went to mac grill, one of my favorite restaurants!!! Yummy, just typing this makes me want to go, I haven't been in forever! I got the sketch for this layout from My Sketch World, you can see the sketch HERE. Pink is my favorite color so I wanted to bring it all out in the layout (: Paper/ribbon is from Creative Imaginations, loving the Maya Road mini cupcakes, of course sprayed with Tattered Angels , gotta throw some Ki Memories with the lace cardstock and ink by Ranger/Tim Holtz, always a go to with Vintage Photo.

The pages above is another great sketch from My Sketch World. I did a combo thing and took some layouts and made them work on a 2 page spread, you can see them HERE and HERE (: I've had this build a bear paper what seems like forever and was so excited that I got the chance to use it, so I wanted to keep the layout simple so you can see the paper :D. The paper is from Creative Imaginations, Fiskars border punch, Scenic Route CB Stars and other goodies from Ek Success and Michaels.

Hot Wheels

I've had these pictures, well forever! When I was younger I took lots of pictures of cars, there was all sorts of random pictures, I even had car logo epoxy stickers all ready to go for the mini album. I was able to get to them recently, yay! Then I found the perfect mini album, a car shaped chipboard album, I was so excited and ready to go. I used K & Company paper and lots of random :) embellishments from Junkitz to Making Memories. The car die cut is from Quickutz which I cut with the Doodlebug fuzzy paper, my favorite! My other favorite is the thickers from American Crafts, the new fabric ones are awesome. Hope you enjoy :)

Friends Word Book

I made this scrapbook for a friends birthday present. I am so happy I was able to use this word book, she loves purple and when I was it was like ahhhh ohhhh!!!!! I created this book in about an hour, maybe a little longer, hehe. I bought the word book at a scrapbook expo :) There is lots of goodies in the word book: junkitz, slice, quickutz, ki memories, doodlebug design and creative imaginations. Sorry the pics are out of order, blogger is being special!
