Toothless Grin

Hello! I thought a layout not related to Christmas would be a nice break before the holidays hit. :) I need a breather before I pick myself back up and finish all the holiday plans! 

This girl wandered around for about a week with a "snaggle tooth". Then it finally fell out! I love those little toothless grins! Moxxie's cute little tooth collection was perfect for it! 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrapping! :)

Day of the Dead Gift Box

Hello! I've got another fun treat to share with you using the amazing line from Moxxie- Day of the Dead! I found a cute little box that I had acquired from my Stampin' Up! days and dressed it up a bit. 

Here's a close up. I did some layering, punching and distressing on it. Added some Imginisce jewels and added dimension by popping up the sugar skull with 3D foam dots. 

I can't wait to fill it with some goodies and gift it! Let me know in the comments what you think of Moxxie's Day of the Dead line.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Celebracion Card

Good morning! I have a gorgeous card to share with you today. I used Moxxie's new line Day of the Dead. If you haven't seen it, you really should go check it out. I love how rich and vibrant the colors are and the art amazing. I love the sugar skulls!

For my base I used a sheet of black cardstock, making my card a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I then layered on those gorgeous yummy papers. My favorite part about these papers is how they look so much like strips of washi tape! I distressed around the edges and used my favorite Martha Stewart border punch. I fussy cut the little doily looking oval out of the cut out sheet and added dimension by "popping" it up with 3D foam dots. 

This was a very quick and easy card to put together. 

What is your favorite part of the card? Let me know in the comments!

XC (Cross Country) layout

I'd like to share another layout I created using pictures from the gal I mentioned in my Monday post HERE. I used Moxxie's Cross Country line again. 

I had fun layering different pieces of designer paper from this line behind my picture. But before I did I did some distressing around the edges of each one. Here's some close up's of the embellishments. 

 

Are you runner? Have a runner in your life? This is an awesome line to scrapbook those pictures!

Cross Country No Excuses Layout

Good morning! Today I have layout to share with you, using Moxxie's new Cross Country line. I used a pictures of a friends daughter who runs cross country. I've known this beautiful girl since she was 2 years old. I had so much creating the layout of her.

I love to cut my designer paper down by a 1/4" on a side and along the top so I can matte it onto some cardstock. I just love the finished look and extra stability it provides. I distressed along all the edges just using the edge of my scissors. Matted the pictures and had so much fun with stickers that coordinate with this line. Here's a few close up's. 

For the title I cut apart one of the cutout's, distressed it and popped it up with some foam dots and folded over a corner. 

 I fussy cut the runner from one of the sheets in this line.

Love the word stickers! They are so fun and easy to use, I just did some distressing around the edges before adhering them to the page.

If you have a runner in the family this is definitely a must have line. What do you think about it? 

Let me know in the comments! I would love to hear from you.

THE Super Shot layout

Good morning!! What's on the agenda for today? Any crafty fun? Maybe you just need some inspiration. ;) I've got an awesome fun layout to hopefully do just that. :) 

My baby sister just got married last year and during the reception I set up a little make shift photo booth. Let me tell you, it was a hit with all the little girls! They took so many "Super shots" as they called them. I LOVE that they did, the pictures were perfect! 

Moxxie's new Cheerleading line was perfect for this picture.

I matted my main designer paper onto a sheet of black cardstock, but before I did I distressed the edges by running the edge of a pair of scissors along it all four sides. Then once matted I cut strips and distressed them to layer behind the picture. Next, I used some Heidi Swapp Black Vlevet & Tinsel color shine mists. To get the big droplets I unscrew the top and just flick some of the ink off the end of the tube. I used Moxxie's White Alpha's for the title and fussy cut some stars out and popped them up with some foam dots.

Next I outlined the big star with some Icicle Stickles.

Then I added some pieces of black twine that I tucked in behind a star.

Well I hope that gave you some inspiration to and do a bit of craftiness today! Let me know in the comments what your plans are. 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Layout {You Have to Kiss a Few Frogs...}

Where has the summer gone!? It seems like I'm always trying to figure out where time always vanishes to! I'm just grateful for all the pictures to remind me of where the time goes and all the sweet memories we've made along the way. :) 

This layout is of my oldest during Easter. She got a stuffed frog from the Easter Bunny. ;) She grabbed it and started to kiss it, making us all laugh, such a silly girl. The line from Simple Stories- Enchanted was perfect for this picture! I used sketch #145 from Sketchabilities and decided to combine it with a challenge from My Scraps & More. 

A close up of some of the embellishments and techniques I used on this layout. I did some faux stitching, fussy cutting, misting, along with some distressing. Isn't the frog just adorable! 

 Here I used a heart stencil and some gesso, along with some gelatos. I stamped some stars from Sweet Stamp Shop, directly onto the picture. I love the cute little heart & flower embellishments.

Moxxie {Unique & Blog Hop}

It's time for another fun Moxxie Blog Hop and giveaway! Details on how to enter at the end of my post. First, let me share with you a layout using Moxxie's new line Tiny Dancer!

It's so much fun watching my daughters perform. Senedra this year chose to do a dance class and has loved it! They got a chance to perform at a basketball games half time. The song they performed to was Unique by Lenka. Such a cute song and the reason for the title of the layout.

I used quite a few strips of designer paper and barcode strips, behind the main colored pictured of my daughter. Also did some distressing around the edges on them. If you look closely you can see I've "popped" the picture up with some 3D-foam dots to make it more "pop" on the layout and because I hid journal card behind it. 

Here's a picture of journal card in and out. You can see I added some little Imaginisce jewels along the top and bottom of the journal card and a little sticker from the sticker sheet to create the little tab. That way it would stand out a bit more from behind the picture. I love doing little hidden pockets like this occasionally on my layouts.

These cute banners are stickers that coordinate with this line and then I just adhered some sequins all over the layout to add a little sparkle to it.

I love these curlies that come on the sticker sheet! They are so cute. 

I used Moxxie Alpha's for the title.

This tag I popped up for some more dimension with some more 3D-foam dots, sanded and distressed the edges and added some black brads to an end.

I love how this layout turned out and all the different textured and dimension I was able to add with just the paper.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Nuts About Sketches {Snowflakes are... layout}

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Nuts About Sketches has a really fun two page layout sketch. 

I only used the left side for my layout. As I was going through my stuff I came across an older line from Fancy Pants that I absolutely love and thought it was perfect for my pictures! I love when everything comes together perfectly! ;)

I started out by inking up the edges of my paper and my pictures. I adhered my pictures and added some 3D-Dots to the middle picture to add some dimension to the layout. Next I added a cute heart sticker from the sticker sheet and and layered another sticker on top of the heart using some more 3D-dots and some brads on ends.

I then cut along the curves on another sheet and did some inking and distressing on them. Using it for my title.

Now for my favorite part! I added some Crystal Stickles to the snowflakes to make them shine.  Then I did some paper piercing and stitching into circles. Love how cute they turned out. :)

Make sure to check out the other layouts created by the other Nuts About Sketches design team members! Always great inspiration!

Moxxie {Little Star card}

Hello! Did any of you go to CHA this year!? I would love to attend sometime! Maybe I should add that to my ever growing bucket list! :) Well, if you did get the chance to attend and you stopped by the Moxxie booth you might have seen my cute and fun little card I want to share with you today! Yup, my card made it to CHA! So exciting! 

For this cute little card I used Moxxie’s new line, Tiny Dancer. I absolutely love the colors! I used a gray piece of cardstock for my base card (4 ¼” x 5 ½” after folding). I then cut, distressed and layered some of the papers in the Tiny Dancer line. I added some twine and few Imaginisce jewels. Now for the fun part, the inside! On the inside you can “wind up” the little ballerina, close the card and when the recipient opens it she will twirl for them! :)

I started out with a strip of cardstock 5 ½” wide by 5 ¼” tall. I scored the strip ½” in from each side and also in the middle 

at 2 ¾”.

Then I cut out the middle leaving 1/2" on the top and bottom and 1" on each side like in the picture below.

Now, since the little dancer in the middle spins, I needed two identical pieces. I fussy cut the dancer twice out of the Cutout sheet, then I placed some Sticky Strip right down the middle of the back of one. Next, I centered a long piece of dental floss on the Sticky Strip. I then stuck the two little dancers together with the Sticky Strip plus some additional adhesive around the edges.
Next you are going to take some small pieces of Sticky Strip and place right next to the middle score line on the top and bottom like the picture below.

You then center the dancer vertically in the frame, pull the dental floss ends tight across the short bits of Sticky Strip, and close the piece of cardstock together, sandwiching the floss in between. Next trim the floss flush with the top and bottom of the frame. I wish I had a picture to show you but I forgot to take any more pictures! :( I then applied more sticky strip down the "tab" sides of the frame, and glued them into the card. Here's a close up of the inside of the card.

Notice how the floss suspends the dancer in the frame. This allows her to be "wound" and then to spin once the card is opened. Once you are done you should be able to just "wind" her up and close the card to give your recipient a lovely surprise! :)

Moxxie {Neighbor Gifts}

Good morning! I have some fun and very easy gifts you could put together. They make great neighbor gifts. :) They could easily be paired with a roll of wrapping paper & some tape. I used two of Moxxie's amazing lines- Winterland & Happy Pawlidays.

These are 6x6 sheet protectors that I decorated and turned into envelopes! The one on the left holds 3x3 cards and the other one holds some Christmas tags, even some for those furry friend gifts! :)

You start out with a 6x6 sheet protector and carefully cut off the side with the punched holes, make sure not cut the seam that keeps it closed! Then I cut out a 8 1/4" x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock, score it at 2" down from one of the long ends. Then you also need two pieces of designer paper- one to decorate the front side (so this can be any size) but for the insert that goes INSIDE of your sheet protector you need it to be 6" x 6 1/8". Next we will add some sticky tape to the back of your sheet protector and center and stick it the back side of your cardstock below the score line. Next you'll cut off the two corners at the top to make it look like an envelope flap and add a Velcro dot towards the center (I like to keep the dots together, stick it to one side then press down to stick it to the other side) It should look like this...

Now because you can see those sticky strips and they just aren't attractive! We insert the piece of designer paper you cut earlier, the 6" x 6 1/8" one.

Now make what ever you want to put inside of them!

I made some 3x3 cards for one and some cute little tags for the other.

Well I hope I've helped you out with a last minute gift idea!

Now to share with you my fun little project!

I have such a fun & very cute way to display your pictures and you get to use up some of those cd cases that are just laying around! They are perfect for this time of the year, they make great gifts for the grandparents!

You’ll need 4 regular cd cases (not the slim ones).

Carefully take out the part that holds the CD in.

   Then re-assemble two of the cd cases backwards.

You’ll then need to cut four sheets to be your background for each side. The dimensions will need to be:  4 5/8" x 5 3/4" From there add your pictures, embellish away. Here are some close ups of my four.

 

 

Add them to your cube, snap all four sides together and voila! You now have an adorable center piece! You can even add a vase or candle to sit inside of it! Here's a shot from the top.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
