If The Scrap Fits

Hello all! Welcome to Monday here on my blog. It's been awhile since I've posted here on blogger as I usually do everything on my wordpress, but I really need to start using both of them! LOL  It's a new challenge at Lollipop Crafts and this week is an Anything Goes challenge.  So it's just for fun and we get to highlight our top three on Sunday!  Let your creative juices run wild!  I know the DT has some wicked inspiration for you so don't forget to stop by the blog and leave them some love! So as you know, I belong to Swap-bot.com which I love because of all the different card swaps they do there.  I have one that is a card swap with a twist...so my partner actually sends me the embellishments to put on the card, I make it and send it back.  So I was sent some ribbon, a flower,a button and a brad.  Not a lot to work with, but luckily they all matched.  So this is the card that I created inspired by the supplies I was sent. Someone had sent m...

Well scrappers, you know it's 'tis the season when Tim Holtz starts his 12 Tags of Christmas! Here it  is Season 5 or is it 6..anyway...today is day 1. So here is the tag that Tim came up with ... I didn't have a lot of what he did, but I was able to 'improvise' a lot and still come out with a great tag.  My only ugh is that I think I used a bit too much of the white paint/stickles on the greenery... My favorite part is the banner.  I didn't have any music stamps so I found some vintage music sheets on the 'net and printed it off onto some Kraft cardstock and then added some Vintage Photo DI to it.  A little distressing and voila!   Also didn't have the pinecone die so I used one of my flower dies instead and I think it worked alright :) Stay tuned tomorrow for the next one.  It goes live on Tim's blog in a couple of hours but I'll be asleep by then :)  Catch it in the morning...it's like opening up my advent calendar each day :)

It's a new challenge at the Poodles Parlour this week. It's all about the Animal Antics.    Bugaboo is our great sponsor this week and they gave us the cutest images to work with!  I made this adorable baby card for my DT inspiration this week.... After coloring the image with my copics, I inked around it while in the nestiblility.  The paper and little sentiment is from a Hot Off the Press baby 8x8 pack that I have had forever.  The buttons and the twine from my stash as was the bling.  I received the butterfly in a swap ages ago and am glad I was finally able to use it! A little bit of border punching and voila! I hope you like it.  Please stop by the Poodles Parlour blog to link up your own project for this week's challenge and for all the details on how you can win from our great sponsor Bugaboo!

Today we have a new challenge for you at Lollipop crafts.  The ever great Robyn's Fetish is this week's sponsor and she has 5 digis up for grabs! It's a recipe challenge this week: Green, brown, ivory, one DP and a handmade flower. Here's what I have for you this week The DP was in my stash of course.  I colored Happy Harry with my copics and gave him a bit of inking with some Tim Holtz distress ink.  The ribbons, button and flower are all from my stash.  The sentiment was sent to me as part of a rubber stamp swap on Swap-Bot.com and it was the first chance I had to use it.  I really like how this turned out.  I think it's a great any occasion card for male or female.   make sure you stop by the Lollipop Crafts blog this week and load up your project for a chance to win!

Here is my card for this challenge I finally broke open my Echo Park Summer days  6x6 paper pack  for this I just love the patterns and colors.  They really do scream summer!
