ScoreBoard Blog Hop - Scalloped Box

Thanks for hopping by today! I have a fun project to share with you today, it is done using Sizzix ScoreBoard die Scalloped Box. ScoreBoard dies are designed to cut and score thicker materials such as matboard and chipboard into boxes, folders and totes. These dies have a special scoring blade which allows for crisp cuts and a perfect fold every time. I decided to paint my die cut using acrylic paint. I then stamped... Read more →

LOVE page & a sample of the past few days fun!

Well Spring is in the air and what better way to start the week than with a simple scrapbook page. I got the paper from Charleston Scrapbooking. It is from Best Creation and makes scrapping a one pic layout so easy! I just printed my photo onto cardstock for a bit of extra texture and some durability, then I distressed the edges and inked them with a bit of Blackbird Fluid Chalk ink. :) I... Read more →

Stop thinking, start inking...

I think there are times where I need to just stop analyzing what I am doing and just start creating. You know, kinda turn off the noodle and start using the hands...I just think too much and get all worked up and then can't see the forest through the trees. I had a hard weekend quite frankly, where I spent a great deal of time thinking about just why I am doing what I do... Read more →

Fun bit of storage idea....

I will be honest here...I am having a hard time these past two days. I don't feel like creating - so I decided to just pull up this file that ran in the October Issue of Crafts N Things. It was a fun little way I came up with to store stamps that looks fabulous and cheers up a mini milkcrate! Enjoy! Read more →

It's been a while...

since I watercolored an image!!! I decided it was HIGH TIME I dusted off my watercoloring skills and when my newest batch of Impression Obsession images arrived, I knew EXACTLY which image I was going to color first! I loved this jar image from Daisy Love. I mean doesn't this image just whisper "watercolor me" to you too?? Once I had watercolored the image I added just a touch of fine Stickles to the centers...
