"Inspiration Wednesday!"

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday!" I am SUPER EXCITED about my project for today! I haven't made a 3-D item in such a long time, that when I saw this project HERE that was made by my DT member "Miss Lucia", I KNEW I wanted to make this! So, here project was MY inspiration for today! I tried to post a pic here of hers, but for some reason, I couldn't grab her pic from her blog :( It may be under "high security!" hhehehe! ;)

As soon as I saw this, I KNEW I wanted to make one for my craft room! I KNOW I have a million post-it notes, but of course, when I need them, they are NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! lol….

So now, my post-it notes are displayed so PERFECTLY on my desk in my craft room.

Here is a side view of it! I just LOVE it! I think these would make the PERFECT teacher gifts, office gifts….etc..! I even thought that you can even turn this into a picture frame….how CUTE would that be? You can see in my video below EXACTLY how YOU can create one of your very own!

Scrapping The Little Things

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Scrapping the little things!" First off, I hope you ALL had a FABULOUS weekend! Mine was full of baseball! ;)

For our pages today, we all followed this sketch shown here!

I decided to do another page in my smash book & I am REALLY glad I did! I just LOVE my smash book because you can basically do WHATEVER YOU WANT!! :) I followed the sketch & made my page based on our last San Francisco Giants game! YEP, it TRULY was the BEST GAME EVER! :) I know my team was in a slump, but OH BOY, are we making HISTORY! This game we went to was EXTRA SPECIAL because for the first time in history, a starting pitcher AND a starting catcher BOTH hit GRAND SLAMS in ONE GAME!!! HOW EXCITING is that??? I was HAPPY that my boys were able to see that in person! The OTHER special reason why we went is because my son's FAVORITE player is "Angel Pagan" & they were giving away an "Angel Pagan Bobblehead" to the first thousands of fans! The unfortunate thing is that we were not able to see him play because he is still injured :( But I think it's SAFE TO SAY that the 2 grand slams we witnessed took Anthony's mind off of his favorite player not being there!

I thought I would scrap my FAVORITE picture I took that day! YEP, these are my 3 EXTRA SPECIAL men in my life who mean the WORLD to me! We were tailgating in the parking lot before the game! There's is nothing better than barbecue hot doggies before a game! ;)

This is what the field looked like on this BEAUTIFUL day! ;)

THRIFTY THURSDAY

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another "Thrifty Thursday!" For those of you who are new to my blog, today is the day that we make anything we want using our SCRAPS! YEP, we ALL know that we have a TON of scraps of card stock laying around! I kept my card SUPER SIMPLE! I just used one of my pre-made card bases, then I had some scraps of blue paper & cut out "you are" from my "Speech Sentiments" set! Before I adhered that to my card, I first sprayed my card w/a little Gold Metallic Shimmer from Hero Arts! Then I just positioned my die cut pieces where I wanted them on my card, so I can know where I wanted to stamp the CUTE little light bulb from my "You're Brilliant" set and the "brilliant" sentiment! Then I finally adhered the words down using glossy accents & I colored in my light bulb using a water color technique using my tim holtz distress ink marker "tumbled glass"! Last I colored in the heart & the bottom part of my bulb using some wink of stella pens/markers! Then I couldn't stop there…. ;) I also added some clear wink of stella to the letters & added some gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh! I LOVE how tiny these sequins are, they are ADORABLE! I was TOTALLY inspired w/my design team member Miss Nikki's gold card she made yesterday HERE!

WHATEVER WEDNESDAY

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Whatever Wednesday!" Today my team & I basically did whatever we wanted! ;) Since I missed out on yesterday "Try me Tuesday", I decided to make this card that my team did yesterday! It is the "Slide Puzzle" technique card. This type of card is NEW to me, but I had made something similar in the past, but w/ONLY a bunch of squares & not a puzzle type~! We saw this idea from Miss Gina K.Designs & you can see her video HERE!

Miss Gina featured this technique using stamping, but I actually decided to switch mine up a bit to save a little time. One of my talented design team members "Miss Veronica" used pattern paper for hers HERE, so I thought I would try that out too! I just took a piece of pattern paper & cut a 4x4 piece, then cut it all into 1" pieces! Layered it on some yellow paper & popped it up onto a white card base, then added my bow & sentiment w/the tag! It was pretty simple, but time consuming! I can TOTALLY see myself making this style of card again!

MCT Products used:

~ Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die

~ Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies

~ Bloom Where You Are Planted

Other Products used:

~ DIY Boutique 6x6 paper pad by Simple Stories

~ White Papertrey Ink Cardstock
