Scrapbook Place Challenges

April's Challenge is a good one for you and Mother Earth.  In celebration of Earth Day, April 22, we are challenging you to "go green" with your project.  Make a card, layout or altered art, but remember to reuse, recycle or upcycle in the crafting of your creation.  

So I decided to to make this card.  

Recycled Recipe used:

The flower is made out of an old music book, punched

I used scrabble tiles 

and I used a border that was given to me (Thanks Melissa)

To add to it, i used Tim Holtz distressed ink pad in black, some rhinestones and pp

Enjoy! 

Happy Easter!

I would like to share with you some Easter Cards I made.

He Has RISEN! 

He Has RISEN Indeed!

I LOVE this one! This is using the Top Notes Die from SU

(I sell these die cuts in my webstore)

I love the rabbit coming out of the watering can here!

and finally the three little bunnies.  

I love this stamp too! 

Well, I hope you were able to find a little inspiration through my cards. 

Have a blessed Easter and enjoy your day! 

April Fools Day Blog Hop!

“Welcome to the Scrapbook Place FOOLISH BLOG HOP! Today you’ll see some funny cards and projects that will get your giggles going or treat you to a surprise. All projects are inspired by or feature April Fools!

If you came here from Mel’s blog you’re on the right path. If not you can start HERE your scrapbook place

For my project I used the grape image from floppy lattes digital designs.  At first I wasn't sure how I could make any of the images I was given into a funny card.  But then I remember a shirt that I used to carry in my store and it had grapes on it with the saying "Whip me" "Crush me" "Make me Wine!" and I thought it would be perfect!  I hope you enjoy it!  

As an added card I did used a fun image from squigglefly.  I thought this was so cute and I have been wanting to use it.  So I colored her with copic markers (still getting used to these).  I added crystal effects to the glasses and to the mouse's eyes.  

I hope the inside does not offend anyone.  lol

Snow Snow Go Away!

I am selling pre-embossed images on my webstore.  Someone had asked "What do you do with them?"

So I told her I would make a couple of samples.

snowman trio

This is the first one.  I chalked in the areas with a q-tip.  I added stickles for the snow and some
of the snow dots.  Then I added some bling.

This one I colored with copic markers, added the stickles and the bling. 

I used a cotton ball for the red hat.

This third one is using watercolor pencils, stickles and buttons.

Three different looks with the same embossed template.  

Enjoy! 

Fairy Wishes!

This was a fun card to make!  

I stamped the image of the fairy on white cardstock with stazon ink.

Then I colored it in using copic markers. I just bought these so I am still playing with them 

trying to get a feel of what I can do with them. 

For the background I took two printed papers and tore them

so it was half n half

I used Crystal Effects on the dew drops

I typed out the words fairy wishes on my computer, 

printed it out and placed it adding a touch of color on the edges with 

cats eye chalk in yellow

The insides says - For a Very Happy Birthday!

White on white - so beautiful

 White on White is very hard to photograph 

I did these cards the other day at an all day crop.  

They are embossed and then I embossed the butterflies separately and added them.  

I did one with clear rhinestones and the other with white pearls.  

I saw this design on pinterest I believe.

Time for Spring!

 Spring is in the air!  I just love embossing!  It is a favorite of mine!

With this card I used one of the SU embossing 

folders and cut around the design. 

I overlaid it on a white background that

 I distressed with pink ink to match.

A few added bling, a butterfly and a saying top of this fun card!
