The Outlawz Color Challenge May 2nd

Woot! Woot! Today is a new Color Challenge week over at The Outlawz! Our awesome sponsor for May is Mari Digis!

There are a lot of awesomely cute digitals over there! And now let me share with you what our Photo Inspiration for this week is:

For this inspiration, you must use the color Orange, with your option of 2 other colors and add your own twist (name what colors and twist you use). I think this is a pretty cool photo inspiration! The colors are so bright! Love them! For my project, I decided to make a little gift box.

Of course, my main color focus was using the orange. But I also added yellow and white with the twist of using a flower. The box was cut out using my Silhouette Portrait. With these patterns, you do have to use the folds the machine cuts, otherwise it's all guess work, and knowing me...I'd ruin the whole thing! Lol.

I then added an orange/yellow flower to the top of the box and white pearl trim around the side of the lid. Also, inside the bottom of the box is an extra piece cut for the bottom to give it more stability.

With the paper (Graphic45) being double-sided, it made it a lot easier to work with and not have to worry about whether or not I was folding the right direction and then having to re-fold. Been there!

I hope you will join us for this week's challenge! Beautiful colors, springy-looking, and lots of fun!

Thank you for stopping by!

ScrapbookingwithM.E. Guest Design Project!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today I want to share with you a project I did as a Guest Design Team Member for ScrapbookingwithM.E. Boutique. It was an absolutely fun project to make! I used all Tim Holtz products making this "Lost Relatives" photo frame, as I like to call it. Lol.

I love how this came out. I started out with painting the frame with black chalk paint. Then I set it aside and started layering with paper, stencils, and the paper dolls. Here is a link to a process video of the project I'd love you to watch! Let's call it "Lost Relatives Photo Frame", just for fun! I will tell you, that my video did not come out the way I wanted, as I'm having to adjust to others living in the house and making room for hubby in my craft room. So I deeply apologize for that. 

If you would like to shop for these products and others, Miss Edith is also giving a 10% discount for the month of May to use in her online store only.  Please use code JE10 at checkout!

JessicaLynnOriginal Italian Greyhound Card #1

Hello, everyone! JessicaLynnOriginal is launching another stamp set! This one is the Italian Greyhound Stamp Set, which will launch May 6th. Pre-ordering begins today! Here is the set:


I'm excited to be a part of this team! So doing these cards is a real pleasure for me! Look at all the different stamps to this set! Awesome! Now let me share with you the first of my 3 cards. And be sure to come back to check out the other 2 cards that I will be sharing!

I found this awesome tutorial via Pinterest on making animal cards. It's called a starburst card. It looked unique enough for me to want to try it out, so I did. And it was so much easier than it looks! Here is the link to the tutorial.  I hope you try it out! 

For my card, I decided to use the stamp that has both the kitty and the greyhound. They totally look like buddies here! I used my markers to color them in. And then I added a sentiment from the stamp set up above the image. 

I hope you enjoyed this card! Be sure to check out the other Design Team Members!

Whisker Graphics Mini-Album

Hello, fellow crafters! I'm so excited to share with you another project using product from Whisker Graphics!  This one was a labor of love, as I love making mini-albums of all sizes! I wanted to do something a little different...for me anyway...using twine. I happened to come upon a tutorial by Sarah Elliott on her YouTube channel. I did make a few minor adjustments to suit my need, but the basic album is from her tutorial. 

Front (Embellishment handmade by me)

Inside of Album

For this project, I used from Whisker Graphics:

Twine, Tags, and Itty Bitty Bags

From my stash:

Chipboard, Designer Paper, Lace, Embellishments, Hot Glue, and Liquid Glue

I hope you can stop in at the Whisker Graphics Blog! There, you'll be able to see how I put this together using product from WG. I hope it will inspire you to make your own album! All sizes are adjustable to what you want to make it!

Thanks for stopping by!

JessicaLynnOriginal Fishing on Phantom Lake Card #3

Hello, crafters! Yesterday I shared with you the first of 3 cards that showcase the new acrylic stamp set from JessicaLynnOriginal. The new stamp set is titled Fishing on Phantom Lake. It's release date is April 22nd, 2017. I had a lot of fun making this card! I wanted to do something a little different, hence, the fishing pole. I cut it out with my Silhouette. Btw, if you Pre-Order today you'll save $2.65 per set! This is a 4x6 Clear Rubber Stamp Set. Below I have linked a video from Jessica regarding this awesome set. Now here's my card:

I think this card is perfect for a dad or a grandfather who love to fish! Whether it is for birthday, Father's Day, or just thinking of you! I used blue paper to represent the water and green for the land.

Please be sure to check out the link to Jessica's video where she gives you a background as to how she came about making this stamp set. 

Check out my fellow teammies blogs! They will be sharing their projects, too!
