Way 2 Go Surfer Card

Hey everyone!

Happy Monday! I got this pre-scheduled for ya because I am going to be busy this morning. I hope you have a great day.

Here is a Copic creation for ya! I used a sentiment from an old hostess stamp set called Picture This for the sentiment. I absolutely love hostess sets! And it is fun earning them free with a purchase :O)

The little surfer dude is from The Greeting Farm.

The patterned paper is from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack that is retiring.



Didn't I do good on my coloring?! OK so I went outside the lines a few times, but  I really thought I did pretty well on my shading. I am really getting the hang of this Copic thing!

I used the following colors:
For the hair:
  • E31
  • E33
  • E35
For the skin:
  • E00
  • E02
  • E21
For the surfboard and the flowers on the shorts:
  • YR07
  • YR04
  • Y17
  • Y15
For the green part of the shorts:
  • YG03
  • YG06

Make a Wish Card


**I  am on a ProvoCraft/Cricut Boycott! They won't get another dime from me!  Got a Cricut? Well use it! Don't have one yet? Consider a different  machine!! Click here for more details about my boycott and how I got here!! You can join the boycott too!**


Hey everyone!! My family and I have an exciting day of shopping planned. We are going to hit up all the scrappy/crafty stores and the quilt shop and pre-order our Eclipse tickets!! WAHOO!!!! I am sooooooooo excited to see the third movie. I watched the Jimmy Kimmel special with the Twilight cast and it got me psyched to see it!! I can't wait!!

Anyway, this is actually a card I made A LONG time ago, but if I don't post things close to the time I make them, then the photos get lost in my giant folders filled with photos. LOL So here is a card I made a while back. It is one of my best I think!!


I used the Cricut Wild Card cartridge for the scallop circle card. The circle was cut with the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge and the sentiment and cupcake were both cut with the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge.

The patterned paper was from the Sale-a-Bration paper pack. SO CUTE!!

All the cardstock is Stampin' UP.

Ice Cream Birthday Card

Hey everyone!

Today I had the worst migraine I have had in ages. It was no fun, but I am so glad that I don't get them as often anymore. Thank goodness for botox!!

Here is a quick card I whipped up for y'all a few days ago:


The little ice cream cones were stamped from the Beary Best Times stamp set which is part of the Build-a-bear collection that Stampin' UP offers. The little build a bears are cute, but their accessories are so versatile that the could be used for ANYTHING!

I made the sprinkle background using a stamp from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set. This set is RETIRING at the end of this month so don't miss your chance to purchase it!

The sentiment is from the brand new hostess stamp set called Occasional Quotes, one of my new fave stamp sets! This set will be available starting July 1st when the new Idea Book and Catalog comes out.

Happy Birthday Apple Card


**I  am on a ProvoCraft/Cricut Boycott! They won't get another dime from me!  Got a Cricut? Well use it! Don't have one yet? Consider a different  machine!! Click here for more details about my boycott and how I got here!! You can join the boycott too!**


Hello everyone!!!

I hope y'all have had a great day! Nothing much going on here. Just working on some things behind the scenes. Nothing too exciting on my end.

And today I have a card showing you my favorite new patterned papers coming out in the new Stampin' UP Idea Book and Catalog. The green and yellow patterned papers used are from the Greenhouse Gala designer paper pack that will be available starting July 1st. I thought it would go perfectly with this apple shape from the Cricut Preserves cartridge. This cartridge is one of the cutest cartridges and I love all the fruity shapes. I will definitely be using this cartridge quite a bit.

The tempting turquoise designer paper is from the Pink Flamingo designer paper pack.



The green shown is the new In Color called Pear Pizzazz. The brown used is the new core color called Early Espresso and the yellow used is the new core color called Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment is from the new hostess set called Occasional Quotes.

New Scrap Dining Room Sneak Peek

Hey everyone! This is my second post for today so make sure you scroll down and read about my CHA or Bust STAMPIN' UP SALE!!

As y'all already know, my previous scraproom has been converted into an office for my fiance because he starts graduate school in the fall. We decided my scrap room had to go in the dining room so now I have a "scrappy dining room".  I have been sorting and purging and selling, and donating a bunch of scrappy supplies because my new space is MUCH smaller than the space I used to have. We still eat dinner at the dining table every so often (not every night usually) and I have to keep the area looking neat and tidy because now my space is all out in the open rather than closed up in a secret room! LOL


My area is not nearly done, but here is just a little peek of the new space. This is one of the walls of the dining room.

I made the labels yesterday using the Cricle Don Juan cartridge, Melon Mambo cardstock, Pink Pirouette cardstock, the Ticket Corner Punch, and Chocolate Chip cardstock. I store my Stampin' UP stamps alphabetically, the first three containers on the top left are for the larger stamp sets and then the rest hold all the other size stamp sets. I have one larger container that holds all my unmounted stamp sets.

My paper containers are a mixture of 8.5X11 and 12X12 paper storage. The 8.5X11 containers are cardboard decorated with Stampin' UP Melon Mambo patterns designer paper(retiring at the end of the month) and Stampin' UP Manchester designer paper (retired). The 12X12 containers are made from used priority mail boxes and they are covered in K and Company patterned paper. All the stamps, punches, big shot dies, and such are stored in Sterilite containers from Target.






CHA Supershow or Bust Stampin' UP Sale!!!

Hey everyone!

Guess who's going to CHA Chicago at the end of July?????? ME!!!!!!!!

I am soooooo excited! I have been begging my mom since January to go with me and she finally said YES! We booked our flight, CHA tickets, hotel, and we are set to go!! This will be my first time going and I am so excited!!!!

Now, I need extra spending MONEY! LOL So this is going to be great for you because I am having a Stampin' UP SALE!! For the next week (until June 29th) I am offering 10% off ANY Stampin' UP purchase of $50 or more!  This sale is my own personal sale and it is ONLY redeemable through me as your demonstrator.

Christmas in June Card

Hey everyone!! Hope you are having a happy weekend!

Here is a Christmas card I made with leftover paper pieces from the SP July Scrapbook Kit!

I really thought this green patterned paper would work nicely for a Christmas card so that is what I did!


I used the Snow Swirled stamp set for the pretty tree and sentiment.

Remember this House Layout

Hey everyone!!

I just wanted to let you know that the Live Chat (you can get to it at the bottom of the forum) was HOPPING last night!! We are going to schedule a weekly live chat night so watch for an announcement on that. In the meantime, you are welcome in the chat anytime. Please invite your friends!

Today, I want to share another layout using the July Scrapbook Kit! Order your's today!


Isn't it cute!!? I love the little grid patterned paper so I mimicked it on my layout design.

I love the flowers and I just like how everything came together so nicely. Kits are so much easier to use than your everyday scrappy supplies because the items are just MEANT to be together. I couldn't believe how much easier it was for me to scrap once I had put the items together.

All the items on this layout minus the scallop edge punch, ink, marker, and the stamps are from the SP July Scrapbook Kit.

And some close ups:

Love Card


**I  am on a ProvoCraft/Cricut Boycott! They won't get another dime from me!  Got a Cricut? Well use it! Don't have one yet? Consider a different  machine!! Click here for more details about my boycott and how I got here!! You can join the boycott too!**


Hello everyone!

This card was inspired by the love sentiment on the Jubilee Font Cartridge. This cartridge is available in the YMH store for only $35!! That is an awesome price for a cartridge!!


I also used some brand new Stampin' UP products on this card! All of these products will be available starting July 1st when the new Idea Book and Catalog comes out!!

The rich red color is the new core color called Cherry Cobbler. It is such a lovely red color and I have a feeling it will be my go-to red color. And do you see that deep brown? That is the new core color called Early Espresso! It is a little darker than Chocolate Chip and those two browns look AMAZING together!

Also, the patterned paper is from the new paper pack called Newsprint. It has a nice shabby chic look to it and I love it!!


I cut the sentiment at 1 and 3/4inches with the Real Dial Size ON and then I cut out the heart on the same size with the Real Dial Size turned OFF. The red heart actually just fit right inside the brown heart for a neat little outline.

The Cricut Circle and French Manor Cartridge

Hey everyone!! I was just searching for some Cricut Cartridge images and came across the French Manor cartridge. I have known about it for a little while, but forgot to show ya so here it is!

The French Manor cartridge is the first of the exclusive cartridges that will be given to Cricut Circle Members only. The Cricut Circle is a club that Cricut is offering. There are lots of benefits (including a free exclusive cartridge every 3 month) so I decided to give it a try.

EDITED TO ADD: DON'T DO IT!!! It is soooooo not worth it!!! There aren't nearly as many perks as they claimed and the next cartridges have totally stunk!!! I am now boycotting Provo Craft, find out more here!!

Click on the image to see the full size.






Colorado Vacation Layout

Hey everyone!!!

Here is a layout I made using the SP July Scrapbook kit!! Make sure to get your kit today! :O) It is a gorgeous kit! You can order it directly from the sidebar or through the SP Store

I have decided to re-do some of my scrapbook layouts that I have done in the past. There are lots of layouts that are just photos, patterned papers and photo corners! LOL  Everyone starts somewhere! Thankfully, my scrapbooking skills have improved a bit.






Here are some close ups:





Love the Kraft against all the blues!

You Rock Card

Hey everyone! I have a really fun and "different" card for you today.

I had a lot of fun playing with my Copic markers from iCopic for this one. The mermaid stamp is from The Greeting Farm stamps.

AND there are many retiring Stampin' UP items on this card as well. These items are being discontinued at the end of the month. Bermuda Bay cardstock, Melon Mambo patterns dsp, Close to Cocoa Classic ink, Green Galore cardstock, and the Just Jawing stamp set.

The sentiment here is from Just Jawing and it is one of my faves!!! I love the funky font and of course the sentiment itself is awesome!



Aside from the intense coloring, this card was really simple to put together. For the "waves", I used the Scallop Edge Punch and then inked the little scallops with a sponge dauber.

For the coloring I used the following Copic colors:

For the hair I used:
  • E31
  • E33
  • E35
  • E37
For the pink hair accents and bra I used:
  • RV29
  • RV23
For the skin I used:
  • E50
  • E51
  • E53
  • E02
For the tail I used:
  • YG06
  • YG03
  • YG00
