Around the House and Peachy Keen Challenge 18

Pin It

Today's theme for today is Around the House and my challenge was to create something using items found around your house. So after searching my house for various items...here's what I came up with.

So what items did you find from my house? Let me help you out! I used a plain brown gift bag, white paint, a silver paperclip, and ribbon. Other items used were cardstock and patterned paper from Piggy Tales.

Of course I used items from Ginger Snap Scraps!

I used the super fun Fifties Stamp Set by

Pink by Design Stamps.

Also used the Peachy Keen Stamp Set

Retro Paper Dolls

and one of my favorite Cricut Cartridges Ever.... 

Teen Scene Paper Dolls.

I am also submitting this project for Peechy Keen's Weekly Challenge so wish me luck! LOL!

Creative Kuts BAP

Pin It

Every week Creative Kuts offers up a free file for a BAP. What's a BAP? It's short for Build A Project.

This week our BAP is a really cute Graduation Cap Box. It will make the cutest gift card holder or party favors.

I am away in San Diego cropping at a retreat and I had to handcut it. The Cricut and Scal would have propably been my favored way to cut this but cutting by hand was really easy too.

 The Congrats Diecut on the top was cutout with my Cricut.

Want to get in on the next one? Go to Creative Kuts on Facebook and be sure to watch for the information on next week's BAP and upcoming ustreams.

Paper Hoarder Tuesday at Ginger Snap Scraps

Pin It

Are you a paper hoarder? I most definitely am!! LOL! I love it and can never have enough. Kind of like me and clothes. I just love the different patterns and colors.

Well, today, Ginger Snap Scraps celebrationg Paper Hoarders everywhere. Our projects today use lots and lots of Patterned Paper. My project is a two page layout featuring me and my returning back to College in 2010. I Love the different Patterned Papers in the Crate Paper School Spirit Collection.

My Inspiration for this design came from a Close to My Heart layout shown in their catalog. I added Alphabet stickers from Love Elsie, a few buttons, and journaled on my computer. My stamped image "It's been too long" is located on the chipboard sticker over on the right side, center square. I thought it suited my layout perfect!

And of course most of the items I used came from Ginger Snap Scraps:

Crate Paper 6x6 Paper Pad and chipboard stickers

Bazzill Cardstock

Tim Holtz Distressing Ink

Pink by Design Stamps

Be sure to stop by the store to pick up the latest and greatest products!

And please stop by the GSS Blog to see other fabulous projects using lots of patterned papers.

Every week Creative Kuts offers up a free file for a BAP. What's a BAP? It's short for Build A Project.

This week we were given a step card file along with a tree and the fence.

Here is what I created using the given BAP files and adding in the Strawberry Bear minus the strawberries. I love this!

Here you can see the side view and how the step works.

It's so amazing!

It's Tim Holtz Day at Ginger Snap Scraps and today we are showcasing the new Tim Holtz Spring Seasonal Distressing Inks. Be sure to check out all the fun colors of Tim Holtz Distressing Inks at Ginger Snap Scraps.

For my project I created a cute Altered Composition Book for my 4 year old Neice. She loves to "write" and color and thought she would love something fun to write in.

I also used the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge by Provo Craft the also new Echo Park Hello Summer 6x6 paper pad, and Zig 2 way pen. All these items can be found at Ginger Snaps Scraps.

Other items used for my project include Pink Pearls, Yellow Liquid Pearls, ribbon, cardstock and stickles in black.
