Another day..

Of fun freebies!!
Today’s freebies were courtesy of Danielle Thompson of Kitschy Digitals and Miss Crystal Wilkerson herself.
(And we all know how much I love her!)
 

Today’s accomplishments.

I got a couple of layouts done thanks to some fun freebies!

(Today’s freebies were from Nisa Fiin and Linda Roos.)
All other elements: kraft paper: freebie from Jessica Sprague; frame, brackets, “a”, stitching, staple all Crystal Wilkerson.  Font: “My Type of Font”.

Kraft paper background was a freebie from I don’t remember where!  The orange paper, labels and sticker all freebies from Nisa Fiin.  Stitching: Anna Aspnes.  Fabric buttons: Linda Roos.  Vintage Polaroid brush from Deviantart.
I also managed to FINALLY finish off the last decoration for my shelf..

Tutorial for the fabric flowers found here.

Playtime!

My chores are done (all except for the laundry, but I have learned quite quickly that it is no fun standing in front of the washer and/or dryer waiting for the cycle to end), the children’s tummies are full, I am off to play!!

Come play too..

There will be freebies and fun challenges all weekend long..  and yes, my weekend will begin today. :)

So if you need me, I will be here, there (arrow pointing above) or in my craft room.

(Note there will be breaks for the occasional and needed bum-wiping, nose-wiping, snuggle, potty-break, book-reading, or snack-eating.)

That is all.

One Buck Wednesday!

Head on over to Jessica Sprague for some fun stuff for “One Buck Wednesday”.

AND this layout of mine is featured here..
(You’ll have to scroll a lot..  there is some great talent out there!)

Hybrid Challenge.

This week’s challenge in the Jessica Sprague’s Spraground, was to go hybrid with iron-ons.

I went from designing this:

Using (guess who…) Crystal Wilkerson’s “Oh Boy!” papers (here too), labels, and alphabet…

To this:

A tote bag for our library trips.

(I made one for each of the girls.)

I have had the bags for a while, and was planning on foam stamping their names and the words, “book bag” on each of them.

(Boring!!)

So I was pretty excited about this challenge.

Hybrid no. 1

This was my first EVER hybrid project.

(It won’t be my last.)

I used..  guess who?

Crystal Wilkerson’s “Oh Boy! Party Time” and “Oh Boy! Party Time Extras” papers.

A little rub-on from American Crafts, some plain white cardstock and scalloped punches, a few rhinestones and there you have it.

Psst…

I have been keeping a secret..
I am not good at it.
I have only been keeping it since Monday.
See, not too good.
I have let the people who are in my life everyday know about it, and I have to admit I called my momma first..  I {heart} my mom!
So here goes…
I am an “un-official” creative team member for Miss Awesome Herself, Crystal Wilkerson.
I wish you could have seen my grin the day I read her e-mail!
(Okay, you got me..  still grinning!)
So I will be designing a lot with her product (pfft…  like I don’t already..) and plugging it even more.
But somehow I don’t think you will get sick of seeing her darling stuff.

And today is no exception!!
I created this page with her “Happy Spring” kit (papers and labels).
I created the scalloped strip using her “Funky Stitching” brushes.
The staple is from her “Office Supplies”.
Fonts and other supplies used: “Anstypants” for title, “Never Let Go” on pink label, “My Type of Font” for date and names, and “Heather” for letter stickers.  (All at DaFont.com)
Stitching by Brittish Designs.
I LOVED using this brush to create a mask for the Polaroids!!
