Chalk It Up

Chalk It Up Hostess Gifts. :)

 

It has been awhile since my last post!  I have been busy putting together a workshop and I had my hostess clubs this month.  Busy, Busy!!  I am doing a Chalk It Up Workshop this coming Saturday using the Chalk It Up Workshops on the Go.  Of course, I purchased one and put it together to see how long it would take and see if there was anything major I would have to explain how to do.

This paper packet is one of my FAVORITES!!  I love the color combo and all of the doodle patterns.  I will be picking up some prints I have waiting for me so that I can complete them and stick them into my kids' albums.  Super excited about these!

If you have any questions about what I used on these projects, feel free to email me.  There are too many to list here. :)  Thanks for stopping by!

September 2014 Hostess Club Cards

Phew!!  I finally prepared the cards for my upcoming Hostess Club.  I am packing and getting ready for a scrapbooking retreat that I have been looking forward to for a year.  So...I am just squeezing these in before I need to go. :)

I bought some Scaredy Cat paper in bulk for this months projects so I am incorporating it into all three cards with various papers and colors.  It is great to have such versatile papers.  Also, the card on the far left, I used the September SOTM.   I hope they like these cards.  Thanks for stopping by!

Chalk It Up: You Amaze Me

Yay!!  I am posting two days in a row!  Yes, I know....it won't last, but I am still proud of myself! LOL!!  I actually made a ton of artwork using all of the New papers in the 2014 Annual Inspirations book just newly released.  I had an Open House a couple of weeks ago and prepared some samples to show.  That is why you are seeing a few more posts from me than usual. :) 

I love how this little card turned out.  The new trend I am seeing now is doodling these cute little lines as an outline.  Fun, huh?!  This technique works well with this paper pack called Chalk It Up.  I also used a Chipboard Complement as the sentiment.  I used Pattern 22 for this card out of Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 2.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Scaredy Cat and August SOTM: What a Hoot

Popping in with a quick post to show off some more Scaredy Cat paper and the August Stamp of the Month (S1408 What a Hoot).  I have to give credit for the cute paper bag craft to fellow consultant, Aaron Brown.  She is super talented and I just loved this idea.  I did change up the owl stamping from her original and the sequin eyes...but the rest is pretty similar.  Check out the close up of the eyes.  Fun, huh!?  I put black bitty sparkles in the center.

 

 

 

I used the new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ to color in the owl and the hat.  I am really loving these new markers and hopefully my customers will too. :)  I hope you enjoy these fun Halloween crafts.  Thanks for stopping by!

Scaredy Cat: Halloween

My kids and I are big fans of Halloween.  What's not to love?  Dressing up, parties, and don't forget the candy!!  I am also a fan of anything vintage.  This new Scaredy Cat paper has a focal paper that screams Vintage.  When I saw it, I knew I had to have it...and hopefully make a lot of artwork with it! :)  I also used one of our new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ alcohol-based marker to fill in the stamped Halloween title.  Okay...I am learning.  I need to practice a bit more, but I love the look and feel of these new markers.  I am definitely sold!  I hope you enjoy this layout.  Thanks for stopping by!
