Thursday Core'dinations Your Day

Happy Thursday

Do  you ever get worried that you are behind in  your scrapping?   I don't for the most part.  I know a lot of people feel nervous if they are behind but I don't.  For example this was a photo that I have loved for over a year now.  It hangs on my wall at school.  I love these guys so much! This photo was taken last year on Father's day (2012).  I have been wanting to scrap it but I just haven't gotten around to it.  So when I was looking for a project for Core'dinations I came across this and said this is the one!

For my layout I first started out scoring my cardstock.  I then cut the circle mat from my Silhouette.  I then punched the negative space using some Core Cardstock and then a couple pattern pieces from Fancy Pants.  After filling the negative space I then layered my photo using some pattern paper from Fancy pants, some tabs from Elle's Studio and tags from Core!  I then randomly placed some embellies and some word stickers on some of the circles.  Finally I added a frame and the title.

supplies

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new card featuring Imaginisce.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day.

Thursday Sparks Challenge Frames

Happy Thursday!

This has already been a LOOOOONG week for me.  I am about to collapse. LOL!! Last night was Open House and I was at school from 6:30 a.m. till 8:30 p.m.  Tonight I have my tennis drill practice so I can't wait till Friday! LOL!!

It has been a long time since I have had some free time to enter challenges.  I don't know about you but I LOVE challenges because they really get my mojo flowing and they really jumpstart my creativity!  So I was able to play along with the Paper Smooches Sparks weekly challenge.  It is a photo inspiration.  Here is a look.

To see all the rules please go HERE!

I just loved this inspiration. I just recently bought some photo frames in the Silhouette store so I thought they would be perfect for the challenge.

Here is what I came up with.

For my card first I splattered some mist on.  I then cut out some frames using the Fancy Pants Wonderful Day collection.  I then randomly placed them on the card and then broke out 2 different sets of Paper Smooches stamps.  I stamped and colored my little lady bug with my spectrum noir markers.  I love how this turned out and now I am motivated to use these frames on a scrapbook layout!

Tuesday Core'dinations and Captain Jack

Happy Tuesday

I have a new Core'dinations project to share with you today.  When I was making this layout I wanted to get a bit messy.  I started with a piece of the Spotted cardstock from Core'dinations. I lightly sanded it to reveal the lighter blue.  I then broke out some paint and just painted it on the cardstock.  Core is awesome because it is a very strudy cardstock and it can handle the paint.  I then made some Slhouette nautical shapes while the paint was drying.  Core is so awesome in the Silhouette.  I then layered come pattern paper along with some of the core shapes.  I also added some of the smooth tags ( I have to say I am in LOVE with the tags!)

Monday Splash

Happy Monday,
Did you have a nice weekend?  We did.  I had 2 tennis matches and then I just literally hung out on the couch with my family.  The weather was rainy and we just hung out and watched movies.  It was so awesome!!  I am not usually a lazy type person but sometimes it feels so good to be lazy.

I am still scrapping last year's vacation and several weeks ago I actually had some time to scrap for myself.  I had just visited Archiver's and picked up a couple sheets of the Fancy Pants summer collection (I have forgotten the name of the line- sorry).  I really loved it and I wanted to try out the "nautical look".   I also broke into my stash and used a little bit of everything- elle's studio tags, little yellow bicycle stickers, etc.  It was really fun!
