My family goes to the beach every summer together for a weekend long trip. I sooo look forward to this trip every summer. This is a couple years ago or more...I pulled this layout to show my sweet little babies and also this wonderful paper...I was soooo in love with this paper from Imaginisce wish I had bought a ton of it!

Hope this inspired you to get busy on those pictures and create some fun summer layouts. Don't forget to enter our current challenge ! Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Hello scrappy and crafty friends. Barbara here with a product review for you. I am going to be demonstrating a spray called Goosebumps . TIP OF THE DAY--   When trying a brand new product, experiment on scrap paper first so you can get the feel for how the product works. This is my finished project, a card I made with paper I created with Goosebumps and distress inks.  Recipe white smooth cardstock goosebumps spray at least three colors of distress ink ink applicator  First Spray the white cardstock with the goosebumps spray. Hold at least 18 inches away to avoid big puddles. Spray lightly two or three times keeping the bottle moving all the time. It may take as long as 20 minutes for the spray to dry completely. You want it completely dry before you add ink or mist. Then ink with coordinating colors of distress ink then wipe with a paper towel to get the ink off of the "goosebumps".  And spray lightly with water to get the distress ink look...

Welcome to all my scrappy and crafty friends. Barbara here with a cute gift holder for a small gift. It is a teacup that I cut with my Cricut. Tip of the day- You can buy really cut trim for your projects in the sewing department of Jo Ann's or other fabric store. Recipe One piece of double sided cardstock Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut Cartridge fancy trip flat flowers I cut the cup, handle and saucer at 8.5 inches. It all fit on one piece of pp. The smaller circle you get goes to the middle of the saucer. The larger one goes to the bottom of the tea cup. I used Liquid glass. Be sure to use strong glue on this project. Attach the handle of the cup in the slots before you put the tea cup together. It is so much easier that way. Fill with tissue paper or shreaded paper and add your gift.  Hope you have a scrapbook blessings kind of day. Barbara Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...

Hey kids!  Cindy back today with a cute card to celebrate Memorial Day.  I would like to thank past, present, and future service men and women.  You are what makes this country great!  We are taking a look at the A Child's Year Cricut cart today.. Just a little bit about what I did to the Ecru ric rack :-) I felt that the color of this ric rack needed to be darker to fit in with the Kraft paper on my card.  I cut it to fit and then dabbed on some Tim Holtz Distress paint in frayed burlap.   I didn't put tons on it since I wanted it to look kind of distressed or worn. Recipe: 5" square cardbase in Kraft A Child's Year Cricut cart - boy w/wagon @ 3 1/4" The Paper Studio - Vintage flag star - single sheet of patterned paper Core'dinations - scarlet cardstock Cuttlebug embossing folders - stripes -Retro Kitchen set, stars - Skyward set Tim Holtz sanding tool - to make the embossing pop Maya Road - Ecru Mega ric rack Tim Holtz Dist...

Hello, Friends!  Thought I would share with you how I celebrated Mother's Day this year.  My "girls" and I got together to make sharpie shoes.   Tip:  Use Pinterest for inspirational designs.  We purchased our canvas shoes at Target. Here's our group picture showing us all sporting our "before" canvas shoes. I purchased several packs of Sharpie pens at Hobby Lobby the day before. And using Pinterest inspired designs as well as our own inspirations, we started decorating. Here's our "after" sharpie shoe picture: And a close-up of my shoes: Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by, ~ Marilyn

Hello to all my scrappy and crafty friends. It is Barbara here and I am going to be doing a product review on Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper which you can find here: http://rangerink.com/?product=inkssentials%E2%84%A2-surfaces-specialty-stamping-paper      I compared it to CTMH White Daisy Cardstock which you can find here:   http://www.closetomyheart.com/ . My Tip of the day: Use permanent ink such as Staz On for stamping images that you will want to color. Here is my completed card: I used a red rubber stamp and Staz On brown ink and Spectrum Noir markers. I used ribbon, a CTMH sentiment stamp, and Ranger Specialty Stamp Paper and bazzil peach cardstock. Here is the example of the stamp on the Ranger Paper and here is the example on CTMH White Daisy Cardstock which has a smooth texture I could tell more of a difference in person than I can from the photos. The Ranger paper image is more clear and true to color than the CTMH cardstock,...

Hello all my scrappy and crafty friends.Barbara here. Today I am going to show you a great way to give flowers or other small gift.It was very easy to do. It was cut from Close to my Heart's Artiste Cartridge. MY TIP  use a strong glue like Helmar 450 to hold together your 3 D boxes. Here is the finished project. Here is the page from the cricut manual that I cut this from. I only cut the main 3 D image like this: You can't really see well in the photo but there are little cuts where you are supposed to fold it. In order to fold it straight I used a ruler lined up along the little cut lines after placing the paper on a soft surface I scored the lines using the ruler as a guide. The little part you see sticking out on the right side is the flap that you glue to the other end after you do the folds. I added ribbon through the holes and some pink washi tape and a flower I also made from a cut from the Artiste Cartridge. And there you have a cute little holde...

Hi Ladies and Gentleman! So glad you could join us today...I have a review of a wonderful Cricut cartridge and some tips to share with you about making your flowers from this cartridge. Here is the cartridge image and some images from the cartridge:   Here are my projects:   I made one of the flowers that had 3 different cuts, made 2 different sized roses and made leaves for them.   Tips for this cartridge : Using a petal roller (quilling tool) makes creating the flowers that roll a whole lot easier. Cut your leaves at the same time you cut your flowers so you will make sure they are all sized to your flower. Putting together the flowers that have 3 different cuts are a bit tricky...make sure you are lining them up it will get off center easy. Smash your flowers down after creating them so they open up a bit.   Thanks for joining us today, hope you enjoyed this cartridge...it is a really fun one!   Teresa~ Fresh and Renewed...
