Kitty Bee Designs - Snow Bun!

Howdy crafty friends! I'm back today to share a cute little winter snow bunny card using the Snow Bun digital stamp from Kitty Bee Designs. We are set to get more snow this week, and I figured I might as well enjoy what's left of the season! I coloured this super sweet image in with Hobby Colour and Prismacolor Markers and added some white gel pen highlights and Stickles before cutting him out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die and my Cuttlebug.

I am really loving purple lately, and I was excited to use this pretty paper from a Heartfelt Creations paper pad - Celebrate The Season. It has lots of gorgeous blues and purples, and even though there are wonderful Christmas images in it, there are also lots of snowy winter papers and images. I fussy cut out the mittens and skates and used the papers from the pad. I sponged Distress Inks around the edges and used my sewing machine to stitch around my layered papers. A few pretty sequins from the SpiegelMom Scraps Plum Dreamsicle sequin collection, a bit more Stickles and a couple drops of some Silver Nuvo Drops add some bling!

Inside, I used a stamp from my stash and another strip of that beautiful paper!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Kitty Bee Designs store HERE and the Kitty Bee Designs blog HERE for lots of adorable images and sweet ideas on how to use them!

Bimini Moose Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Tuesday! I'm back today to bring you another Scrapbooking challenge over at BIMINI MOOSE!

Our challenge this time is...

Scrapbooking - ANYTHING GOES

Yes! That's right you can now enter any and all your scrapbooking projects, traditional or PL!!

Our challenges run for 2 weeks. This one will close on Mon, March 2 @ Noon Eastern time - giving us time to pick a Top 3 for the post the following day with our Next Challenge.

We will also be choosing one winner per challenge to win a cut file from our amazing sponsor - 

KaDoodle Bug Designs!

These files are perfect to include in your Pocket Scrapbooking Layouts and in your other crafting as well.

For my project this challenge I'm posting Week #3 of my Project Life 2015 album. I find that I'm better working in batches - so I'll print off a couple weeks of pics at a time and then get them done at the same time rather than scheduling printing and designing pages for certain days of the week.  I do take most of my pictures with my iPhone, and I love the feature where I can scroll back and tell exactly which day of the week I took each picture! This makes it so easy when ordering a week at a time. And, hey, whatever makes things easier so I get more crafty time is great in my books!

I just picked up a new scrapbooking kit, Made From Scratch by Echo Park, which I just love! There are lots of food and recipe related papers, stickers, and even journalling cards - perfect for all the meal pictures that seem to find their way into my album!

Some of my journalling cards are created within the Project Life App and printed along with my photos.  For most of my pics I use the app and the photo collage to create 2x3 pictures. I can then either put them into a 4x6 spot or in the smaller pockets - and fit more pictures in my album!

I also love that I can create a whole page in my album dedicated to one theme - this one being a fun snow day with the girls!

I just love this Snowmies set from Pretty Cute Stamps! I used quite a lot of the sentiments on my journalling cards for this Snow Day page.

Be sure to pop over to Bimini Moose and check out the rest of the DESIGN TEAM and what they have created to inspire you to play along.

PDE - Anything But A Card

http://pdelinkyparty.blogspot.ca/2015/02/abc-anything-but-card.html?m=1

3 piece project

I wanted to make an 8x10 project that I could frame. After I cut 4" off the 12x12 sheet of cardstock I had a 6x4 folded card, which I cut a little over 1/2" off, and a 8x2 bookmark.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the "with love" and highlighed it with a gold pen; the white background heart was emossed with white embossing powder; the heart near the bottom was stamped with distress ink, overstamped with versamark and clear embossing powder, and then rubbed with red distress ink into the open areas.

I used a Tim Holtz snowflake mask with gesso applied overtop for the background; after it dried I overstamped with a writing stamp; I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the tag and highlighted with paint; I used the 1/2" portions I cut off of the bottom of the card to place across the card and tag after stamping a saying with white embossing powder; and I used the white embossing powder again on the heart and bottom of the tag.

I used a snowflake stamp and white embossing powder for the background; I applied a Tim Holtz snowman mask to a white piece of cardstock and used his distress inks in China blue and Pumice stone around the edges and placed it above a piece of lace that extends across the width; "let it" is embossed with white embossing powder, and the word "snow" is stickers; I covered a round piece of chipboard with the China blue ink and covered it with stickles and put a snowflake brad in the center.

My daughter wanted to add the red bow for this picture!
