Sydney's Superhero Frame!

Hi there!! I feel like last week just flew by, and I didn't get to share as many projects with you as I would have liked to... but I have been working on some fun new projects that I'll be sharing with you over the next couple weeks.

I can't wait to tell you about this frame that I made for my niece Sydney at Christmas! You may remember some great photos and layouts I shared from last spring when I threw a Superhero birthday for her. You can check out some pocket pages here as well as some pics from her party here. Well, since she loves Superheroes, I decided to give her a framed photo from that day - using this 'Super' cool scrapbook paper ;).

I started off painting a wooden frame from Michaels with red Dylusions paint on the back and around the front edges.

Then Erica helped me add Mod Podge to the front of the frame with a paintbrush. You can see we're watching crafty YouTube videos!

 Then we added the scrapbook paper, cut to size, onto the wood frame. I had a left over diecut from her party in my stash and I fussy cut some of the paper and added it on top.

On the back, I covered the paper insert with part of the scrapbook paper and added a little note.

I just love how it turned out, and Sydney loved it too!

Some sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps added that last touch of bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your week is shaping up to be fantastic. I'd love for you to check out my newest video using some fantastic Canvas Corp Brand products - a Street Art Valentine Process Video!!

Scrapping Everyday Miracles - October Challenge!

Time for another challenge over at the Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog!!

This month my project is following the awesome layout sketch designed by our very own Design Team member, Bev!

I used a paper pack from the Echo Park Capture Life for most of my layout - I love the coordinating stickers and cut apart sheet! For my niece's Superhero birthday (you can see more photos of that here) my youngest daughter wanted to be the Hulk! I love that she thinks Hulk is cooler than Cinderella!

 
I layered on a square from the cut apart sheet and tucked it under part of the journaling card by cutting carefully with a craft knife. Some black pen stitching and a little Glossy Accents add some extra details!

I love this View Master sticker! I used some Glossy Accents to make the tiny photos in the reel pop.

These awesome jounaling cards from the CTMH Picture My Life 'Later Sk8r' collection were perfect for this layout! I love using them on traditional layouts as well as in my pocket pages!

You can find more collections from Picture My Life here!

Be sure to head over the Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog to see what our other talented Design Team members have come up with and enter your own project based on the Layout Sketch, Card Sketch or Scripture Inspiration (or all three!)

Pretty Cute Stamps Feature - Superhero Birthday!

I'm catching up on my Project Life pages and I wanted to share these cute photos from my niece's Superhero Birthday Party! Of course, I had to dress up these pages using the Superheroes and Super Sentiments stamp sets!!

I first used my Explore to cut out the coordinating SVG outlines and then stamped the images. I used Prismacolor Markers to colour them in. I love all the different sizes of stars that come in the set! Perfect for stamping all over my journaling cards! I used the sentiments to stamp over different areas of my pages, even masking off some of the stamps to get parts of the words.

I used some of the Cricut decorations I cut for the party and added them into my pockets as well as diecutting the little stars, stamping and then colouring them.

I sure love this little superhero stamp I used below! He looks like he's having so much fun! I think it's so cool to be able to personalize the journaling cards with these stamps.

Here's a look at what's in these awesome stamp sets:

Super Sentiments

Superheroes

POW!! Birthday Card!

I am on a Superhero roll right now! I just had to make this cute card for a little friend's birthday and figured I use the awesome sketch on this week's Mojo Monday blog to whip it up!

I cut my image out first with the coordinating SVG file from Pretty Cute Stamps before stamping and already had it precoloured with Prismacolor Markers. This made it super quick to put together!

I used the Boardwalk BoBunny Collection 6x6 paper pad on my card - love this background paper that looks like it's peeling up!

Superhero Birthday!

I'm back again to share a post on the Scrapendipity blog! My niece recently turned 15 and she is the most adorable and sweetest girl ever! She loves superheroes and I just had to throw her a superhero party with a super card!

I recently picked up the Julie Nutting Prima paper doll stamp - Jill from Scrapendipity and thought she would be a perfect superhero! I used the Prima skin and hair tones watercolor pencils to colour the body and hair - and let me tell you, these are like butter to colour with!!

I paper pieced her outfit with the Bobunny Forever Young 6x6 paper pack and used some of the same papers for the background. I hand cut the cape and mask to add to her outfit.

Of course, we had to have some fun superhero decorations!! I used my Cricut Explore with both Cricut and Digiplayground cuts to cut out diecut word bubbles and glued them onto banners as well as cutting some lightening bolts for added effect!

I used fun foam and patterns from Cutesy Crafts to make these Superhero masks. My two girls and Sydney did their super strong poses.

I made the capes with old T-shirts I picked up from Value Village by cutting around the neckline and sleeves, leaving the back attached. Here, my adorable hubby sports his red cape and sexy batman mask ;)

Hubby and I pose for a super selfie!

These diecuts also worked perfectly attached to toothpicks as cupcake picks. My cupcake decorating skills are very limited - but I'm ok with that! Some coloured sprinkles and frosting always make everything look better :)

We also picked up some action figures at Value Village for cheap table decorations. Erica (my 3 year old) had a blast playing with them!

 Everyone kept busy after supper doing Spiderman word searches I printed off from the computer.

We had so much fun with this party - alright, I may have had the most fun ;) and it makes you realize how creative you can be - without spending a lot of money! Thanks so much for joining me today - I hope you have a super week!

FCCB #253 - Celebrate Dad!

Challenge #253 - Celebrate Dad-create a card or project for Dad

This Weeks Sponsor
digiplayground.com

There will be 3 winners of $7 gift certificates!

Create a project inspired by Father's Day

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

For my project this week I've created a Father's Day card using the Digiplayground SVG files Awesome Title for the card base and Superboy Character, as well as the Cricut Cartridge Crash, Boom, Pow! I used the super awesome new stamp sets from Pretty Cute Stamps Superheroes  and Super Sentiments on my card and envelope.

I started off by welding the base of the Awesome Title to make a card front and back and then sized Superboy in Design Space. After stamping the My Hero sentiment I embossed it with Crystal embossing powder to give it some shimmer.

I added some stickles to Superboy's star on his shirt - since every superhero needs glitter!

I love this layered Pow Cricut cut!

I cut a second layer of the Pow base to use inside my card, and then stamped it with another Pretty Cute Stamp sentiment and stars.

Here's a look at the card and envelope together. I used some of the star cut outs from the card on my envelope along with some stamped stars and a sentiment.

These are the stamp sets I used:

Super Sentiments

Superheroes

Pretty Cute Stamps Feature - Superhero Lunchbox Notes!

I'm back today for the Pretty Cute Stamps blog to bring you some lunchbox notes I made for my 8 year old daughter using the Superheroes and Super Sentiments stamp sets from Pretty Cute Stamps!

I used Prismacolor Markers to colour in these 'Super' adorable superheroes and then I cut them out and put them on paper from a 6x6 Little Yellow Bicycle paper pack- perfect for this scene! I added some of the stars included in the set - I love how beautifully these stamp! and a sentiment on the front and then another on the back (see below).

Here's a look at the fronts and backs of each card!

My daughter was super pleased to get these in her lunch! Here's a look at the sets I used:

Super Sentiments
