Graphic 45 By the Sea Mini

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to share real quickly an album I made for a trip to Cape Cod later this year. Instead of adding a trillion pics I just shared a few of the pages and the outside view. It took a bit of time to put together but once I got going it seemed to have a great flow to it. Finished there are six pages all with pull outs and pockets.

All the papers were either from the 12x12 stack or the 8x8 stack of Graphic 45 "by the sea" collection. The ribbon was from my stash and the Charm I put together from a few sea embellishments I had all attached to a Tim Holtz ring. 

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

Hello Again Crafty Friends!

I have been hiding for a couple weeks but happy to know I have been  hiding in my craft room. I have just been working on some scrapbooks and loving it since it is my first love!

In between I have made a few cards and want to share them with all of you! 

I  have listed the main products under each of the photos for you just in case you get the urge to love these stamps as much as I do. 

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to share some more creations with you. I'm still trying to catch up a bit on my scrapping but I will certainly be throwing some cards in the mix :)

Have a wonderful Weekend everyone!

Hello

A fun stamp from digi stamp boutique. She is Molly and she is so adorable. She is bright and ready for a little summer fun. Popped up some extra ice cream and added a bit of glitter and bling for fun! Hope you love it!

Blessed by you

Hi everyone..

I wanted to share a card I made with a little "me" time. Love getting that special time to sit and just create! This time of year it's very hard to come by, so I treasure it always! Have a wonderful day.

Fun day

Just a few misc projects I worked on this weekend. Enjoy

Friends and Birthdays

Good afternoon everyone!

Today was just a fun day to play with some random images. Sometimes it is nice to not have a plan when I sit down and see what my fingers turn out. The best part for me today is they turned out to be very different without even trying!

My images are from Mo's digital pencil, stampendous and Taylored expressions. Cardstock is stampin up daffodil, melon and baha blue. My pattern paper is from sizzix.

The inside of the shell card says "I love hearing from you"

I hope everyone had a great Monday! Tomorrow is a crazy day for me, I hope I get some good crafting time in!

Fun in the Sea!

It's been really busy around here. I must be dreaming of the beach these days because somehow those are the projects coming out of my craft table. The manatees are just for fun and the other two are for swaps. The footprints stamp is a brand new stamp I got for my birthday from my mom...Shhh it's not my birthday til June..I used it anyway!

Just for fun

The ocean card is a card I have been working on. A friend of mine asked for 40 of them. I have been stamping and sponging like crazy to get them finished for her. I have made this card in the past, and I really love it. The others are from swaps that I have had. I hope you enjoy them.

I think I might have to fit my try it tuesday in tomorrow and fins a new technique that I would like to try just for fun. So many projects..so little time..Isn't that how it always works?

Relax the blues away!

Today I get to bring you two projects. I was up early this morning just taking my mind off things and grabbed a stamp set I hadn't used yet. I tried to use some colors that I wouldn't usually grab first. I was pleasantly surprised. I like it so much, I might have decided to give this card to my FIL for his birthday next week instead of the ship one I made earlier..

The second project of the day are some Journaling tags I made for a swap. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. I even remebered to make an extra. I usually forget to do that.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Craft Lounge "Coastal Wishes"
Paper: Bazzil "grey"SU "cocoa" bordering blue"
"rust"

Pattern Paper: DCWV "summer glitter stack"
Ink: Momento Black
Misc: Hemp twine, watercolor pencils

Hearts were made from SU pink and tags bags boxes and more cricut. Stamp was a basic journaling stamp. Used SU french flair background stamp on the white. I masked the outside of the heart to make it fit in the heart leaving a rim.

Try it Tuesday..Cup Card

I was inspired by a friend who did this card a few years ago and just brought it out of hiding. I have had this tutorial in my grips for a long time and always wanted to give it a try. I figured try it tuesday was the perfect day. I think next time I might make the cup a little smaller and maybe some chunky glitter for the rim instead of beads. Other than that, it was a lot of fun to make. You can find the instructions here at splitcoast stampers.

Card Recipe:
Paper: SU "regal Rose" "Apricot" "white" "vellum cardstock"
Ink: SU "caramel" "cool carribean" "apricot" regal rose" "summer sun"
Misc: chipboard saying, K&Co "berry fruit" embellishment

Relaxing on the beach..

I made a bookmark like this once and thought I would try to adapt it into a card. I think it turned out pretty good..Almost good enough to jump in, grab a beach blanket and stay all day until the sun sets.

Paper: SU"night of navy" "brocade blue" "bordering blue" "shimmer white"
Ink: stazon "black" SU" "caramel" "brocade blue" "bordering blue"
