Love is in the air! and who doesn't love Scrappin' Sports!

I just adore February...the feeling of falling in love all over again...well maybe not always...but there sure is a feeling of love in the air :)

I am still trying to recover from my week long sickness...but I wanted to share a layout that I made with my digital kit "Kissed by Cupid" Since it is already Feb. 2nd!



I also wanted to share a few scrappin' sports and more projects that I was able to complete with their new papers! I am also excited that 3 of my projects (2 layouts and a card) will be in their CHA booth at the winter show! Also don't forget to check out the other design team members work at the scrappin' sports and more website (click here for shortcut)!

Some digital layouts to share

This month at Scrapstreet we were assigned to work with 2 designers and design a layout using one of their kits.

I was assigned to Sue and Dora...and here is what I was able to come up with.

Here is a layout that I did using Dora's kit called bright bikini...this a super fun kit full of bright colors that are just cheerful and fun to use on your layouts! If you want to see the kit preview head on over to Scrapstreet.com and check it out.




Here is a layout that I was able to make with Sue's Digital kit this month...I have had these photos for so long and when I saw this kit...it was perfect! The kit is called Creative Kitchen both papers and elements are sold separately so make sure to grab both...again this is for sale at www.scrapstreet.com.

Pinewood Derby...and crafty Mom...

Well what can I say...I just couldn't leave Jackson's car alone..I had to add some vinyl and a bat to spice it up a bit...Jackson is really excited for tonight...and is hopeful for a win and to also show off his car...and I wish I felt better but I am a bit under the weather so I am not sure if I will be able to make it out tonight with the family :(...

But here is Jackson's Car :) (sorry for the blurry photos...I am way to sick to worry about it...it's a miracle I am blogging...LOL)

Vinyl on Cricut project/Organization and a Scrappin Sports and More card to share

So I have been a bit quiet lately...for me anyway...I have been organizing again, pulling pictures for some new Scrappin' Sports and More layouts to use with their brand new papers!!! and did I mention I am organizing...still a long way to go...mind you...but I did find these rather large jars at Target last night and of course I had to label them with some vinyl...:)

Can you believe that I have filled 2 of these and ...(hanging head) still have enough ribbon to maybe fill 2 more!

So...here's the jar (sorry for the glare...but it was late...and well it's glass and flash...so that's what happens)



*Thanks to Kathy for leaving me a message about contact paper...everything is straight :) and the promise to make a video demonstration on how to cut and apply is coming ... soon I promise ;)

And here is a card I made with the Scrappin' Sports and More young and active collection...If you are heading to CHA make sure you stop by their booth and check out all of the amazing offerings (I hope to have many more projects to share with you at the end of the week and the beginning of next ;))

Fun "Virtual" Weekend...

Well this weekend I grabbed my Scrappin' Sports and More papers and a great friend (Reneé) and we had a virtual crop! We challenged each other all weekend to use the super fun young and active line from Scrappin' Sports and More to make some fun cards!

It had been a while since I made cards...all weekend at least...but it ended up being a lot of fun! I do have a few challenges to still try and get to...but here is what I have so far :)

Kissed By Cupid

Do you just love Valentine's Day? Well I sure do...so in honor of all of the Valentine's Day Lovers out there I created a new digital kit called Kissed by Cupid.

The kit combines fun and fresh style with deep and rich colors... and of course all of the basics a scrapper needs to make a great page...cardstock, pattern papers, ribbons, brads, eyelets, tags, paper clips, and buttons!...it truly is a fun kit!

Back at it....

Well I have the itch to cut vinyl on my cricut expression again! So tonight I made a little sign for Valentine's Day! It was rather difficult to line everything up just so ...so it's not totally perfect...I think my OCD is going to break down (tonight) and purchase some transfer tape so I can design it and lay it out just the way I want :)

But for what it is worth (sorry bad glare on the tips of the letters...they are not blurred..but it's hard to get a great picture inside at night) here it is :)




Now on to how I actually did it (as I have been getting a lot of emails about my creations lately...thank you all for the super nice compliments :))

I first designed it on my design studio on a 12x12 mat and then put a sheet of vinyl to fit onto my 12x12 mat (the vinyl I purchased at a local sign shop...and it is rather cheap to do it that way)

I then took a 12x12 tile that I purchased from Home Depot and placed the letters on much like you would a scrapbooking sticker...as the vinyl is sticky on the back side....and tried to line it up as best as I could. However, you can purchase transfer tape for the vinyl and it makes the process so much easier! When my tape arrives...(as I have to order it) I will try to take a movie of how you do it to share with all of my cricut buds :)
