Petra's Peekaboo Circles

I made a new cut file for Pretty Crafty Stuff, my friend Petra made wish for a file and I thought the idea was great so I made it into a file. Here is a layout using it with some lovely Craft Market paper and decos from Crate Paper. I think it turned out fun. Also I got to use some Reverse Confetti stamps I had in my stash and really love. And some old photos I never scrapped because they were very small and not so good. But together and in this small format it didn't really matter.

So, go shop Petra's Peekaboo circles and thanks for stopping by!

10 things I love about you

Here's another letter sized layout made for DESIGN in PAPERS. I used the Crate Paper Craft Market collection, very pretty collection! The picture is of my son before his first summer break at school. He was super excited that we brought our newest member of the family with us and he got to show him to all his friends at school. 

I added lots of pretty decorations and used a stamp set from Winnie & Walter for the text everything. I love it when I can use my stamps for layouts too! And I was so happy I got to scrap this two year old picture, you would not believe the size of that dog now. He is more like a pony ;) And the boy had also gotten a bit taller and oh so clever and grown up. Two years is apparently a long time for kids and puppy dogs <3

I just came back from visiting my mom for a few days and am itching to get back into the craft room again. I added a new file to the Pretty Crafty Stuff shop, I'll be back tomorrow to show you more about that. I have a TON of Winnie & Walter stamps to play with for the new release when I'll be a guest on their blog and I wish I had some more hours every day at the moment. I have some new techniques I would love to try out in an art journal page but well, time. But I love this feeling of creativity when I just want to make stuff all the time. It makes me happy :) 

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow (I hope)!

My card for DESIGN in PAPERS this week was pure coloring therapy. I stamped a background using Blissful Botanical by Lawn Fawn and a dog from Critters at the dogpark inside a stamped frame. I colored it using Spectrum Noir markers and blendable pencils. 

I have something fun going on for the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page. I am SUPER excited by this and as soon as I'm all done I will tell you all about it. There are also some new files in the making. So go like the page and check your notification settings because you don't want to miss this.

My trip to Stitches

Star shaker

Star shaker

This is my card for DESIGN in PAPERS today. I made a star shaker card using one of the tags from Tag, you're it from PrettyCraftyStuff to use as shaker part. I filled it with some chunky glitter, but I think all the lovely papers makes this card. They are all brand new, Cicci brought them home from CHA and I got to pick my favourites. This is Kaisercraft, Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug in a lovely mix. It makes me happy to use graphical patterns and bold colors. 

Hopefully I'll be back with some pictures from my trip to Birmingham soon. If I remembered to take any ;) Hence the hopefully. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed and totally forget to take any. And that is why I'm more of a cardmaker than a scrapbooker. 

I love you

Today I'm up at the DESIGN in PAPERS blog with this card. I got the idea when taking pictures for the new PrettyCraftyStuff file Tag, you're it!. I Just lay out some of the tags on some journaling cards from the Amy Tan Stitches collection and the hearts looked great with the love tag. I decided to make a card with the journaling card and the tag and I was really happy with the result!

I think the tags I designed for Tag, you're it! are so great. I have a bunch laying on my desk and keep grabbing them for projects. I hope you like them too! 

I've been busy in the craft room lately, I'm now done with all my projects for February. I had to prepare a bit since me and my daughter are having our birthdays next week, her party is this weekend and mother in law is coming for a visit too. And then I'm going to Birmingham next week for the Craft Hobby + Stitch international and it will be so much fun! I have signed up for a lot of workshops and am looking forward to meeting some of my friends from the WOW! team and lots of other creative people. It's super exciting! And I haven't been traveling anywhere except for visiting my family for a few years, I love to travel! And I have the best travel companions too this time so I'm sure it will be fun! 

Oh well, thanks for stopping by today. I have some projects that haven't been blogged yet since I've been very busy, I think there will be a few up in the blog each week for the whole month as soon as I can find the time to schedule all of them. I also have an almost done video to upload but I'm struggling to do a voice-over since I got some requests for that. My video editing program keeps crashing every time I try but I've got some advice on other software to use and will give that a try.

Hey!

I'm running a bit behind but here is my creation for DESIGN in PAPERS this week, I keep going back to the Stitched collection by Amy Tan, the colors are so pretty. I made a watercolor background with the same color scheme and added one of the new PrettyCraftyStuff tags. This one you can use as is, letting some pretty background paper showing through the slits or do what I did. Weave in the pretty papers to make a decorative tag.

I added some wood veneer and god thread and called it a day. I don't think it needs more decorating. It's also a great way to use up some of those paper strips that is to pretty to throw away.

Thanks for stopping by!

New file in the shop!

I finally had some time to make a new file for the shop. I called it Tag you're it! It's nine different tag shapes and they are really useful! You can resize them and use on cards or layouts. I did some cool paper weaving on the striped tag, I'll show you the card later, it's for a DT assignment. 

For more pictures head on over to Pretty Crafty Stuff. On the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page there is a coupon for 20% off, valid through Janyary. Just sayin'... Enjoy!

(I just needed to add, it's lots and lots of snow outside. It makes it brighter and easier to take photos but the colors are all wrong and blue-ish. I can't wait for spring!)

I have this pile on my desk with bits and pieces from other projects that fails or that I don't use and this card is pretty much made from that pile. The background was a layout that never became done, the diamond is a Pretty Crafty Stuff cut file that I was supposed to use for something but never got to. I keep forgetting how nice it looks cutting things from patterned paper. This is my post for DESIGN in PAPERS this week, I love the puffy sticker from Amy Tan. 

Thank you for stopping by today. Just a friendly reminder, if you are interested in buying some lovely cut files from Pretty Crafty Stuff (link up in the top right corner of the page) there is a 20% off coupon code avalible on the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page.

Today I wanted to share a card I made using a background stamp from Hero Arts that I recently got on sale. I'm happy about this bargain because the stamp is so pretty and even if it's not all brand new it is new to me. It's called Snowflake Border. I made this card using an embossing resist (sort of my go-to technique if you haven't noticed). 

I used watercolors for this card, I tried out some new colors to see if they would match and I like the results. The pops of green made it much more interesting. The dies are from Simon Says Stamp (hello) and Technique Tuesday (fabulous) and the twigs are my own cutfiles from Pretty Crafty Stuff Tthe Peace on Earth file). I hope you like it :) 

I'll be back tomorrow with another watercolor card that went from a pinterest fail to a kind of cool card. Hope to see you then :)
