Guest Designer Day over at Crafty Card Gallery

Happy Day all:

Today I get to share my flower card over at Crafty Card Gallery. Each month we are given a theme and this month is Spring Flowers. I decided to combine my two favorite companies (Stampin' Up and Close to My Heart) to make this card. Here it is:

This card actually took no time at all (just about 10 mins) because I stamped the image 3 times, cut and colored and glued it all down. I used leftover paper from my Ariana Workshop on the Go . The stamp on the cover is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment om the inside is from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Collection. Of course my Close to My Heart Exclusive Inks! did the trick. I think this is one of my favorites from Close to My Heart. Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Until next time....

Aren't they sweet?????

Happy Monday all!

I participated in several challenges over at the Scrapbook Blessings Club Facebook page this weekend. I wish I could have more weekends like that as it definitely revitalizes me. We did a Scraplift Challenge where we have a layout for inspiration and then make it our own. I have been saving this picture as it is my favorite of my grandchildren. Here is my layout:

Do you recognize the papers? Well they are from the Arianna Scrapbook Workshop on the Go. The two plain pink papers were from the scraps so not sure where they are from. I sued some embellishments from My Minds Eye and Dear Lizzy. And there is that zip strip I posted about before. I used my Sharpie Extra Fine Point Paint Pen for the journal tag. I am super excited that Michael's is now carrying these!!!!! I am hoping that next weekend brings some more creative goodness. For now, it is off to get ready for the day. Until next time....

Just Fluttering By to Say...

I hope you are having a wonderful day! I broke out a new (to me) stamp set called A Tree from Close to My Heart. I love the quality of these stamps and I think they are the BEST value for your buck (and you all know I won't endorse anything I do not like or use). There are some stamps I will stamp first and color later (usually while watching TV) and this was one of them. The assembly was so quick as I took 4 rectangles of paper from my leftovers if my Ariana Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go kit. You will not believe how much you will have left to make cards or an alternate layout or two. Here is my card:

The strip in the middle is called a zip strip. It is at the bottom of the 12 x 12 Duos paper and you can incorporate it into your layout or cards. The birds are from the Lots of Love stamp set. The heart I drew in with my Stella Wink Gel pen as I thought the two birds were looking like lovebirds. The tree was colored with my blender pen and my Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads. This card was put together in 2 mins and 11 seconds as the pieces were all cut. What could be easier? Thanks for fluttering by and I look forward to seeing you soon. Until next time....

Isn't She Lovely.....

Happy Monday all!

I decided to pull out my newest Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go-Ariana. Let me tell you about these Workshops. You get so much in this kit you can do one double page layout, a single page layout and then some cards as well. I have never been disappointed with any of the Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go's. When I first saw this WOTG, I fell in love. It was so pretty and I saw great potential with the stamp set that came with it. The embellishments are just darling too. Here is the two page layout that I made:

I will be placing pics on this of our first visit with our newest grandchild, Adelina. 

In this Workshop you get:

Ariana Paper Packet
My Acrylix™ Ariana Workshop Stamp Set (D-size)
4 White Daisy Cardstock Sheets
Ariana Assortment
Black & Grey Epoxy Bubbles
Instructional Brochure 

Featured Colors are: Ariana Coral, Ariana Green, Ariana Grey, Crystal Blue, Outdoor Denim, White Daisy

Follow the included step-by-step instructions to create the two-page layout featured in the workshop guide. The layout pattern is a Jeanette Lynton original created exclusively for this workshop. Then use your remaining materials and online tips to create an additional layout, shown in the guide.

Some basic tools you may already have, such as inks, stamp blocks, or how-to books, are needed to complete these projects.

Additional products I used are:
