Mist Splatter Cards & Good Bye TwoPeas

I can't believe its Thursday already! I am on vaca from work, I have to get a plan going so I can utilize the most of my time :) Which really means plan lots of crafty time hehe :)

If you haven't heard the news yet, Two Peas in a Bucket is closing there doors. I am still in complete shock! I have been on two peas since 2005 and have had a wonderful time there! I meet so many amazing and inspiring ladies, I am going to miss it so much! Thanks Two Pea's for all the great memories and I wish everyone all the best! Goodbye Two Pea's and Hello to new adventure and finding a go to place!

Masculine cards have always been a struggle for me, am I the only one? I am a family of all girls, my grandparents had all girls and they had all girls lol The only boys are my grandpa and adopted awesome cousin! Ohh so often I have lots of girl things to make! To me that's easy with flowers, cutie animals and bright colors!

So off to my craft room I went in search of making a masculine card for father's day! If your like me you have tons of mist, but I felt that it looked to light and flurry when sprayed.

I came up with a fun idea. Instead of spraying the mist I took off the top and splattered it on the card! This can be a messy project so make sure your craft area is protected and you don't mind getting your hands dirty or stained. I may do a video so you can see it in action!

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?!

LACE, LETTERS AND LOVE!!!

Here is my example:

I used LACE cardstock, chipoard LETTERS and this page is about my goddaughters birth so its filled with LOVE!

These are some close up's :-)

Cardstock is of course my favorite Prism! The lace cardstock is from Ki Memories, I love love this stuff it just rocks!!! The flower ribbon is from American Crafts, I love the white because if you want to you can dye it to match whatever project your working on. Chipboard letters are from Maya Road and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The banner paper is from Basic Grey and stamps Hero Arts, the best banner set you can buy! Making Memories makes the small abc stickers, they are my go to letters (: The butterfly transparency is from My Minds Eye. Another favorite of mine is the flat scallop cards from Paper Source, whenever I'm near one I always have to go in and grab at least one stack of these :-)

Go check My Sketch World for more information :-)

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.
