DT for Not2Shabby - Center Step Cards

For my DT project this week for Not2Shabby I wanted to try my hand at some center step cards. I love how they turned out.

My first card is with Bumble Bee Marci from LalaLand Crafts which unfortunately is sold out at the time and I also used some new LalaLand Crafts dies.  Lattice Doily Border and Lattice Border - they are awesome!

In both of these cards I used the Prima Something Blue paper collection and some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which you can purchase at Jamie's shop.  Don't forget to use my coupon code "SARAH" for an additional 10% off your purchase - this code will only be available until the end of August and then Jamie will be re-introducing the free shipping codes.

My second card is with a CC Designs stamp which you can get in the Not2Shabby shop - Latte Kiki La Rue.  I stamped her out on watercolour paper and used my Tim Holtz markers - love them!!

Here is the Copic colours I used on Marci. 

And I just have to share how needy our cat Cheesecake was this weekend.  She would not get out of my craft space, but she is so cute!  She actually push her way right into the corner of my desk behind my tools.  And then when I had my laptop out trying to catch up on some YouTube videos then she pushed herself behind it which really wasn't that much space - crazy cat!

Happy Papercrafting!

Greeting Farm Friday Challenge

Hi Everyone!

I saw this Fridays Farm Fresh Challenge and just had to play along.  The first thing that came to mind when seeing the colour palette was the Prima Madeline collection - perfect colours.  And the second thing that came to mind was my new Greeting Farm stamps!!  On friday I got some super happy mail and the Twisted kit was waiting for me to play with.  I'm so excited, there are some super cute images and awesome greetings to use.

Here is my finished card that I am entering into the challenge.  I just love how she turned out and the colours are a perfect match.  I gave her some ash blond hair and popped her up onto an embossed circle which is matted in black card stock.  I used the Hey Girlfriend! greeting and put it on a fish tailed banner.  Added in some blooms from Lavish Laces and some tiny Prima flowers from my stash and glittered everything up with some Stickles.  The little porcelain rose is from my crafty friend Cheryl - thanks Cheryl!!

The image was coloured with Copic (colours pictured below).  Hope you all head over to the Greeting Farm blog and join in on Farm Fresh Friday!

Happy Papercrafting!

Playing with Prima Dolls!

 I finally got my hands on the Prima Doll Stamps and had to play with them all weekend.  I got to play with one so far but check out what I made.

The first one is a sign made out of a page of chipboard from a Michaels chipboard album.  Patterned paper is all from My Minds Eye.

She is just so sweet, I love how she turned out. 

This sign is hanging right above my craft room door on the inside so that I can stare at it all the time. 

I absolutely love it!  I used pretty much every technique I could think of.  The base is patterned paper with tons of glimmer misting, molding past, torn paper, gesso and goosebumps.  The turquoise through the middle is cheese cloth sprayed with glimmer mist.

The flowers are from I am Roses and Craft Supplies 1.  With tons of embellishments from Prima and Michaels.

Baby Teeth

You are going to love this one - make sure you read the whole story. I made this framed 12x12 for a co-worker husband. She was saying how he goes on and on about the baby, kisses all around, naps on the couch together and lots of cuddling. Now Jayda's teeth have been falling out and daddy has been collecting them in a little jar. Apparently he's been going on and on about doing something to display these teeth so of course I say scrapbooking!! So I put together this beautiful 12x12 with lots of girly bling. The background page is sprayed with glimmer mist and cut out on the glittery swirls to tuck the layers into. I added some prima flowers with pearly bling and of course the acid free memory box which was wrapped with some black lace and flat pearls that I got at Hobby Lobby on a cross border shopping trip.

Isn't this layout beautiful?! Something you would love to display on your wall or bedside table as my co-worker assumed it would be. Cause here's the kicker for you - JAYDA IS A DOG!! Yes you heard it here the baby is a dog, the real baby hasn't been born yet, yes my co-worker is pregnant but the dog is number 1 in her husbands eyes. And guess where the framed doggy teeth are?? Well the only picture of the happy couple that they had displayed on an end table in the living room has been replaced with the 12x12 along with a photo of the super cute Jayda and her 6 little teeth.

You gotta love it!

Happy Stamping!
