Crafty Moni

This month we have a few big camping trips planned out, so I wanted to incorporate that feel into my dashboard for June:) I kept the dashboard super simple. I stared of by using some washi tape. Then I used my Carta Bella The Great Outdoors paper pack and used the front advertising cover to fussy cute images out. I thought this would be a great way to use those cute images up. I tried to keep it simple and not make my embellishments bulky. I would like to enter my planner layout into the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp: Monday Challenge Die-cut-divas:June challenge Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Many crafty hugs:) Moni

Hello fellow crafters, I have a card to share with you all today. For my card today, I used the BINGO theme from House Mouse Challenge . I used the line right in the middle (Orange, Yellow, and Green) option. These three colors remind me of fall, and I love fall! The aroma of pumpkin, cooler weather, the holidays, just love what fall brings along. I recently purchased this stamp at Scrapbooking Made Simple , a local scrapbooking store (they also have an online store option) and I really wanted to use it, so I thought this challenge would be a perfect time to do so. The colorful leaf paper is from the DCWV Amber Autumn card stock stack. I used one of my Nestabilities dies to cut out a piece of orange card stock. The name of the House Mouse stamp that I used, is called "Fence Falling."                                                                                   The sentiment is from  My Creative Time , the cute tiny green, orange, and yellow leaves are

Hello fellow crafters:) I have a card I would love to share with you all today. I made this card using the super cute stamp from House Mouse Designs, "Make a Wish."  I must admit that House Mouse Stamps are my new favorite thing lol. I love to color them with my Spectrum Nior color pencils. I'm no pro, I just go with what feels right and have fun coloring. I used Tim Holtz "Salty Ocean" Distress Marker to water color a sky affect background.   On the inside of the card I added a Happy Birthday sentiment. I popped up the image with some foam tape to give my card some dimension.  I would love to enter my card in  House Mouse Challenge  #201 Flower Power Thank you all for stopping by and leaving me a comment:)  Peace, Love, & Crafting Hugs!

Hi fellow crafters, I am so excited to share my layout with you all today. I got into paper crafting for this reason, to make layouts for all my pictures, but as I started exploring other crafting techniques and paper projects I distant myself from scraping layouts. This is why I am excited to share with you all a layout:)lol. This picture was taken back in August 2009, almost five years ago. I told you I have to catch up on my scrapbooking lol. Close Up This picture was taken in one of Cancun's theme parks called Xacart. My boyfriend and I went while we were out in Cancun for our friends wedding. This theme park is amazing! Its full of natural beauty and wonder. I truly loved it, and would love to go back. Its a must do on the Cancun visit list. I used the sketch from  Sketchabilities  for my layout. I love using sketches, they're inspirational, and make scrapbooking fun for me:) I used sequence, some recycled net, a prima flower, twine, seashells and starf

Hello Happy Crafters:) I have a 4th of July card to share with you all today I used the card sketch as well as the color inspiration pallet from  My Creative Time . When I saw the inspiration pallet I thought, "stars" :)lol. So I used  My Creative Time  3 Star Stitched Die, and the stars from 4x4 Journal Die and All Around Holidays.  I got a little artsy and painted some of my stairs with paint:)lol.  I got a little creative and made Uncle Sams hat with  My Creative Time  "I'm A Lucky Girl" die and stamp set. This cute die hat was perfect.  The blue and red postage line stamp was from  My Creative Time  "Build a Postcard" stamp set. I used Memento Lady Bug and Danube Blue ink for this stamp.                                  For the inside of me card, I used a die cut from the Silhouette store. I would like to enter my card in the following challenges: Creative Time for Me My Sheri Crafts Paper Crafting Journe

Hello fellow crafters:) Today I have a birthday card to share. My inspiration for this card came from a lot of places lol. I used Peachy Keen's  color pallet for the color inspiration with my flowers, barrel, and tag.   For my card layout, I used  Cardabilities  card sketch for my  inspiration. Then I turned to my stamps and Distress markers for inspiration lol. I cut a tag  out of white cardstock, grabbed my new background stamp from  Peachy Keen , inked it with embossing ink, sprinkled clear embossing powered and heat dried it. Then I took my Dried Marigold Distress ink and inked my tag. I loved the way the clear embossing powder resisted the Distress ink:) I water colored the flowers and barrel with Distress inks. The cute ducky was colored with Spectrum Nior markers. I added some yellow and cream sequence to the side of my card for some sparkle:)  I used a combination of two great products to make my card. Peachy Keen and  My Creative Time , you c
