Daddy's Girl...

Hello my crafty friends! I love how this layout turned out! Last Christmas we meet my hubby's parents in Pismo Beach, for Christmas. These pictures were taken just outside our hotel room. It was so peaceful and beautiful!

 The title was cut using Hannah Montana (one of the reasons I bought the cartridge)! The circle is from Accent Essentials, the waves are from Life is a Beach and the cloud/sun are from Pop-Up Neighborhood. I also embossed the circle with the Polka Dots CB folder.

 I made a journaling tag and slipped it behind the last picture.

Thanks for stopping by today! ♥Kristy

Little Fish layout

Hello my crafty friends! Today I'm thinking and praying for those that lost loved ones 10 years ago! I can't believe that it's been 10 years! Little Stinkerbella and I are going downtown this evening to a special program for 9/11. i'm looking forward to coming together as a community and remembering those brave men and women! God bless America!

I'm really trying to catch up on Little Stinkerbella's pages! Here's a layout I did of my little fish...

 One of my "new" favorite things to do...I use my Gypsy to search for any words that may be part of my title! The "little" was from part of a title on Graphically Speaking. It said "a little.." I hid the "a" and just glittered up the "little." The fish is from From My Kitchen.

The waves are from Life's a Beach. I used Glossy Accents and some pearl glitter to add dimension.

 I cut this cute little fish from Life's a Beach and then cut the layers to match Stinkerbella's swimsuit.

I found a cute little swimsuit on A Child's Year cart and then just cut off the ruffled skit. I also decorated the swimsuit to match Stinkerbella's and then used it for my journaling spot! Side note...I really don't like my handwriting, but I think that it is important to write on some of your layouts...one day I think Little Stinkerbella will be glad I did!

I also used little pebbles around the page to simulate bubbles, and my handy dandy circle punch to add behind the pictures.

I have been scrapping a lot lately and have many pages to share with you, including another page I did with my Imagine (in only an hour and a half!!!)! Thanks for stopping by today! <3Kristy

DCWV August Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch for this month's DCWV challenge:

And using the All About Girls Stack here's what I came up with:

The title is definitely true!

 I made these flowers using the Mother's Day Bouquet, and Flower Shoppe. I didn't want anything to take away from Stinkerbella's cute pictures so I just layered the flowers with some dark brown tulle. For the center of the flowers I tied the tulle into many knots, then wrapped it around itself, and added a glue dot to the bottom.

 I used some of my scallop SU punches for the brown accent pieces), a small heart punch, Thickers, small Making Memories letters, and a Bazzill border.

 The large circle was cut at 6" using Accent Essentials, and the "10" was cut using Birthday Cakes.

 I was lucky enough to win as one of Erin's Top 10 last month. My fingers are *crossed* for this month's challenge, I would {LOVE} to win some of the new stacks that are coming out!!!


Thanks for stopping by today! I'm soooo looking forward to craftin' it up this weekend! <3Kristy

10 years!

**This card was made for the Pumpkin Spice DT call!**

So, yesterday (Thursday) was the hubster's and my 10 year wedding anniversary! If only I still looked like this:

Can you see the crinkle in the middle of the pic?? Just as I was about to snap a picture of it (so that I could upload it to FB and tag everyone in it!) Stinkerbella snatched it and ran! Boy is she quick! I like to call this 20 month old phase "tornado!" Okay, back to the card...Here's a little something I whipped up for the hubster:

We {love} the beach and used to live so close to it, so when I saw this stamp set by Scrappy Moms I knew I needed it for this card! Here's the set I used, it's called "Sun Kissed."

I stamped the sentiment and then punched it out with one of my SU oval punches.

This is a 5.25" x 5.25" square card. The background circle is from Accent Essentials. The sun and clouds are from the Pop up Neighborhood cartridge. The surfboards, waves, and starfish are from Life is a Beach. The "sand" is actually snow from Jolly Holidays.

I added some thin twine to the bottom of the card and to the sentiment, inked everything in Tim Holtz' Tea Dye ink, and TONS of foam dimensionals.

My favorite paper right now is Echo Park Paper (not used on this card, but I just picked up some cute pieces of the Country Drive line and will be posting something soon!)

Happy Anniversary to my HOT hubby! I love you tons, (and if possible I think I've fallen in love all over again...just watching him with our daughter)! Boy, I sure wish I had a piece of this cake...yum!

Happy crafting <3 Kristy

Christmas in July part 3

Hi everyone! Here's another Christmas gift idea.

 I found these cute little cards at Michaels, and decided to "doctor" them up with the help of my fabulous Cricut! Most of the cuts were from the Christmas Cheer, Accent Esstenials, and Doodlecharms cartridges. I also used Stampin' Up papers, punches, ribbon, and stamps. As you can see I also added some bling!

Here's another version I made:

The cute little snowmen on these boxes are from the Gypsy wanderings cart on the Gypsy. Don't you just love the cute little pizza boxes?! They were super easy to make with the help of my super duper Scor-pal! The Scor-pal website also has tons of tutorials on how to make different projects like a pizza box. I played around with the dimensions so that 3 x 3 cards would fit perfectly inside.

I had a group of girlfriends over and we made a bunch of these together. It's always more fun to "create" and craft with a friend! So, call a friend and invite him or her over to craft I'm SURE you'll both have a great time! Happy crafting!
