Just A Scrappin' Summer Fun Blog Hop

Happy Summer!!!!!!!!

During the hop the DT members are celebrating the things we love about summer. 
All the team has made projects to show what we like about summer.

The hop begins at Just A Scrappin".  You should of arrived here from Nicole D at Think/Create/$ave, If you just happen by please start at the beginning of the hop at Just A Scrappin".

We have some fun blog candy for you from Just a Scrappin'.  Plus many of the DT have their own candy to give away also.
All you have to do to be eligible for the candy you need to leave a comment on each DT members blog including Just a Scrappin.  Also please leave you contact information in case you are the lucky winner.

Here is the layout I made for the hop.

It is about my love of softball.  I played for 28 years and watch my girls for 16 years and coached for all those 16 years.  I love the game.  It is so fun.  Now that I am quite a bit older and my knees will not allow me to play or coach;  I love to craft about it.

I use some items I had on hand.  I added the wooden balls on each corner.  Added sticker in the middle of each one.  The mats for the photos are 4x6 with the corners rounded.  The back round printed paper was cut off 1/2 inch all the way around.  Added some cute softball buttons.
Used a bit of doodling on the photo mats.  Distressed the edges with Stampin' Up Close to Coco ink.


I am the last stop on the hop and the DT Coordinator.  This the first hop for many of us and we all hope that you liked our projects and the you will come back to join our DT challenges each week and try out to win a chance to win some great candy given away at each month.

First DT Post for Just a Scrappin

Hi All,

This is the first challenge for the Just a Scrappin DT.  I hope that you all join us for this challenge. 

The challenge is to make a card using a cut out or frame.                Here is an example:

For my card I made a card with a frame.

 I cut the frame out with a 1 inch border around it.  I used paper from DCWV.  The butterfly is from some stickers that was in my stash.  Then added some foe stitching in black around the outside, white around the middle and to show the butterfly flying.  The flowers on the corners are beads with pearls glued in the centers.  There is black pearls on each corner.  Then I sprayed with purple glimmer mist and with some glitter mist that I made.  The thank you is some bubble letter stickers from my stash.
This is the inside of the card that is glimmer misted also.  Then added another sticker.

Keep an eye out I will be doing a HOW TO section every couple of weeks for the DT.  Next week I will be sharing how I make my own Pop dots so be sure to check it out.


So jump on over to Just a Scrappin"  and link your challenge card up to Mr. Linky.  I can not wait to see what you create.

Made some stick pins.

I have been making stick pins to add to my cards.  I made 36 of them to send to a swap I was in with CDAC.  So I made a card using one of the other pins that I made.  So here it is.
This is an A2 card that I rounded off the corners.  The envelope is from Doodlecharm cartridge and cut at 2.80 inches.  I added the lips instead of a heart it is on a wiggle wire. The lips were cut at 1.75 inches from the India Art cartridge.  The tag for my sentiment is from the Essential Accent cartridge and cut at 1.75 inches.  I added a knot of tulle with a button and added a pin with a heart and some crystals.  My card has two sentiments on it.  One is Happy Valentine's Day and on the envelope and it says Sealed with a Kiss.  Both are from Pink Designs. For a bit of bling I added three rhinestones on the top.

I'm going to enter this card in

Carson's Creations.-- Stick pin
Love to Crop  --  Wiggle wire.
The Glamorous Side of Scrapping -- Valentine's Day

Here is my card:


It is an A2 card.  I took a piece of red card stock and cut it 3x5 and took several scraps and tore them and inked them and adhere to the red card stock.    I cut the heart from Doodlecharm Cartridge at 2.50 inches and layered it.  Added it on a  purple wiggle wire and stamped it with a stamp from Pink Designs.  Added some twine and a sticker that is a shaker.

Hope that you like it.  Still looking for 6 more followers.  I have some blog candy to give to one of my lucky followers when I hit 100 followers.  So send a buddy over.

Valentine's Sour Cream Containers

Hi all My Crafty Friends,
As you will see I have been busy lately.  I made these for a friend of mine who owes a Balloon and Flower Shop.  I made a total of 60 of them to hand out to her costumers and friends.

I started out with a 4x6 piece of paper and put them together. Crimped the top and bottoms, then added candy treats to the inside.
I stamped and colored images from stamps in mine and my nieces collection made heart on the gypsy from the Doodle Charm Cartridge at 1 1/2inches and Scalloped ones at 2inches.
I added ribbon to the sides, underneath, and around the containers.  Each one is different.
Here is a pic of several of them and one up close.

Projects for Pink Cricuit DT

I am trying to become a member for the Pink Cricut DT.  I have been working on a few items and want to share them with you.

To start with is this scrapbook page.
I used the cricuit to make the two fishing poles the one on the right I added a string and made a hook out of wire.  Then all so cut out the gone fishing at the top.
The rest were some stickers that I got at Walmart.
I inked all the edges of the pages with SU night of navy.

This is a card that I made using the Cricuit to cut the lips.  Add a ribbon and a bow some pearls at the top.
I used Pink by Design stamps to stamp the sentiment.  I Love U  sealed with a kiss.


I made these two different style of Valentine's treat boxes.  They are both made with the 6x6 pieces of cardstock. Folded them added brads to hold the handles and keep the boxes together.  Then added some ribbon and cut the tag with the Slice and stamped with the Pink by Design stamp " a sweet something".  The smaller box I cut the scallop heart and heart with the Slice and added a stamp sentiment...  Took and cut up some paper and ran through the crimper placed in box and added some candy.

I made the flower on this card using my Martha Stewart scoreboard.  I took a piece of paper 1 1/2 inch x 12 inch.  Then scored every 1/4 in.  Folded and put together added a button and string.  Set off the side with 3 pearls and the sentiment.  All the edges are inked with SU chocolate chip ink.  I added a orange piece of cotton ribbon under the flower.

Hope you all enjoy my projects and wish me luck.  Even if I don't get picked I had a great time making these.
