DESIGNER CHALLENGE

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Designer Challenge!"

For this challenge, my sweet DT member Miss TeriBeri wanted us all to make a

scrapbook layout in any size and format of your choice, using a variety of pockets and envelopes.

I thought this was a SUPER FUN CHALLENGE! I completely a smash book pages using a pocket & I went to take pics & my camera's battery needed to be charged! Unfortunately I filed away the plug for it really well that I could NOT find it :( As soon as I drop off boys to school, I will find it, take pics & put my project up too!

Anyhow, here are the layouts & even smash book pages from my OH SO TALENTED design team~! Don't forget to click on each name to visit each blog & leave them some bloggy love!

Weren't these ALLLL FABULOUS? WOWZERS!!!
Don't forget to check back this afternoon & please PRAY that I find my cord to charge my camera! If I can't find it, then I ail just take a pic w/my phone & have my project up by this afternoon!
Have an AWESOME day my sweet friends & I will see you ALL back here VERY SOON!

Apr 16 – Whatever you want Wednesday

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Whatever Wednesday!"

First up, I don't have anything for you today because I have a patient. I'm not sure if I shared or not, but my Anthony recently got braces & he needed to have 2 of his adult teeth pulled :(

He was in a lot of pain afterwards so I was being his nurse. It's funny how I was the one feeling faint AND nausea when he was getting those teeth pulled! lol..... I TOTALLY felt his pain, my poor little guy. He is doing a little better because he FINALLY had a milkshake that I made for him! ;) This is why I have nothing today, BUT.....like ALWAYS.....my design team has some FABBY projects for you today! Click on each name & visit each blog to leave them some bloggy love! :)

Weren't these the most AWESOME projects today?

Thank you ALL for stopping by & I will see you back here SOON! HAve a GREAT day my sweet friends! :) xoxo

Apr 10 Thrifty Thursday

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to another THRIFTY THURSDAY! For those of you who are visiting my blog for the first time we alternate every other Thursday & make a project using our SCRAPS or recycled items only! This is how "Thrifty Thursday" came about!

Okay, for my card today, I made another attempt at watercoloring! Can I just say that once you start, it's a bit of an addiction? ;) What I did differently is after I heat embossed it using the White Hero Arts , I added water to my paper w/a brush, THEN I added the color. I mixed the color "Mustard Seed" & water to color this! I am SO EXCITED about watercoloring right now! :)

MCT products used:

~ Teeny tag holidays

~ Teeny tag layering dies

~ Bloom where you are planted

Other items used:

~ Tim Holtz wire pins

~ Ribbon from my scraps

~ Mustard seed ink

~ Water color paper

Okay! Next up is my AMAZING design team~! I am in AWE once AGAIN on what they ALL created w/their scraps~!

OMG! I just LOVED EVERYTHING from my design team!

Thank you ALL for stopping by & I will seen you all back here SOON! :)

Inspiration Wednesday

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday!" Can you believe I actually made a card for you today! :) Feeling PROUD!

First of all, before I tell you about my card, I want to show you my inspiration picture. It is from my design team member "Miss Katie!" When I saw her card, I just KNEW I wanted to make one too! Keep in mind, this was my very FIRST time doing this watercolor thing, so mine didn't quite turn out "watercolorish" like Miss Katie's did! CLEARLY I need practice, but I kept it & didn't want to waste it! I know that I messed up because I should have brushed water onto my card stock first~! I saw that on Kristina Werner's video. But all in all, I can live w/how it came out! :)

First I heat embossed everything onto my water color paper using white embossing powder! Next I "watercolored" onto it & heat dried it. Last popped up a button & used pop up tape to attach it to the base of my card!

My inspiration picture:

Here is what my card looks like in it's entirety!

MCT products used:

~ Build a Chevy Background

~ Piles of Smiles

~ Stitched Button Dies

Other products used:

~ Picked raspberry ink

~ Mowed lawn ink

~ Salty ocean ink

~ Seedless preserves ink

~ Water color paper

~ base of card White card stock from Papertrey ink
