New. Stuff.

My June challenge over at WeScrap is a "Pop it" challenge, where I wanted to see dimension on a layout-- more specifically, photos. Below was my example... I actually cut out Aaron and I with an Exacto Knife, and used pop up glue dots to make the image 3D. If you're interested, you can participate here... there's still a few more days to do it!! ;)




Also, we rolled out a new sketch for Sketchy Saturdays over at WeScrap. The sketch was:




And my take on it was:



Until the next. ;)

June Kit Reveal

WeScrap’s June Kit, Garden Glory, is now available for purchase here for only $27.99!


I was lucky enough to get to design with it. I have to admit, it’s totally not my scrappy-style, but it is really fun to work with!! (It’s good to get out of your comfort zone, right?! LOL!) I especially love the colors and the pattern papers. Below are my projects made with this amazing kit:





I actually used packaging from the foam accents for the Road Rage layout above.


I decided to try making bottlecap magnets with the kit fixin's and Glossy Accents... probably not the best epoxy to use, but it's all I had-- and I think they came out pretty good! =)

Oh, and here's another layout from a few weeks back for a polka dot challenge I held over at WeScrap:


Until the next... =)

Feast Your Eyes On This!

WeScrap's May Kit!! It's filled with so much cuteness, I can't even stand it!! You can get it here. Go ahead, I know you want to... ;)

I've Been Waiting...

for a few days now to debut my most recent project! I'm doing a Recycle Challenge over at WeScrap today for NSD. To check it out, you can go here. Feel free to play along, if you're not already! There's a lot of fun stuff going on there! =)

I made an altered frame re-using Scrabble pieces for my title.



It was super simple: just a dollar store frame, painted the matting, popped some Tim Holtz mini paper clips on, of course recycled the Scrabble pieces, and busted out my best friend (the Label Buddy). LOL

I'm pretty happy how it came out-- after all, it was my first altered frame. =)

NSD

This Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day! And what better way to celebrate then with a crop! =) Come join us over at WeScrap for a good time!!

Snug(gie) =)

I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it! Besides the fact that Dairy Queen is celebrating their 25th anniversary with $.25 Blizzards this week (lol), I also wanted to share with you that I will be one of WeScrap's Design Team Members for the next 6 months! I'm truly honored... there is so much talent on that site, it's friggin' crazy! This will be my first time designing so I am really looking forward to it, and working with the gals. I'm definitely thanking WeScrap for giving me a chance!! =)

Other than that, I'm doing well. Still truckin' along. My friend Allyson and I went on Saturday to "bond" and get something pierced... I mean, that's what girls do to bond, right?! ;) Anyway-- I ended up getting my anti-tragus (or "snug"-- the inner flap of the ear) pierced and figured I'd share a pic! [Not to be confused with my "bowl"-- the one that goes completely through the middle of the ear; for all you ear-illiterate people ;) ]


It's healing extremely well, and FAST! The swelling is down, and I can [pretty much] sleep on that side of my face again. Overall, it wasn't bad! And for those of you wondering what Allyson got... it's called shafted. lol The piercer ran out of jewelry! I think deep down she liked it better that way, and just watched me get mine. =)

Well, that's all for now... I'll have some new projects soon!

Some New Creations

Still been busy with WeScrap's Next Top Designer Challenge... here are my recent layouts for the contest. =)

Challenge #4 - The Final Casting Call - We had to provide a sketch, use it on a layout, and make a tutorial and use it in our layouts (I chose making heart flowers). It also had to incorporate our "Guilty Pleasure" (mine being ice cream, of course!) LOL



Challenge #3 - The Dress (we had to pick 2 dresses from a Runway and incorporate it into our layouts (for me, ruching and cutouts).



Challenge #2 - The Makeover (stepping outside of your comfort zone-- mine is cutting-- as juvenile as that sounds, and also stitching and making my own embellishments)


I'm having a lot of fun with the challenges... it's just sad that it's over now! I guess I'll have to FINALLY get around to that mini book of Disney I've been procrastinating on since October... LOL!

Until the next! =)
