First Day of School.

Hello, hello, hello!! C.C. Designs has got these awesome new July releases and I am doing a review on Roberto's Rascal's Sk8tr Henry

My youngest son just started pre-school and he served inspiration for this card. He is quite the more reckless one of my two kids (hehe, see the skateboard?).



I don't know about you but the scrapbooker in me makes me the type of parent who takes lots of pictures during special events (& also during some mundane, daily stuff).

Of course, we had lots of photos by the door with his new Planes backpack and a cute outfit. Now, I just gotta make sure I actually sit down, scrapbook, and document that moment. Ahhh, sometimes I'm so caught up with all my card-making that I don't pay attention to my scrapbooking :(.

My craft mojo had been down but I was able to make four cards in two days...hurrah!! Hopefully, it continues! Woot woo!!

Stay tuned for another card tonight!

Furry Love.

Hi all!!

It's been awhile so I apologize for the lack of posting. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have an inkling of why my craft mojo has been down :) :) :). I'll be writing about it on an upcoming post so stay tuned (teehee!).

Today, I have a card for you featuring Time for Tea Designs' I'm Nuts About You Squirrels.



Aren't they the cutest? For the texture of their fur, I did short flicks (for the tail, I did longer ones) with my Copics. And blended less to show more of their 'hair.'



To go along with the forest theme, I incorporated this fun washi tape of the critters and trees. And the wooden washi is definitely starting to become a fave!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!

See ya!

Summer Journal Cards from TGF!

Good morning, everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend (for those of you living in the U.S.)!

Today, I've got a project featuring the Greeting Farm's newest mini release of Journal cards! They are perfect for Project Life!



I've been meaning to scrap these old photos of my hubby and I back when we were still dating. This technique of scrapping took me one hour for both pages -- the pockets make it simple and easy, and with the journal cards, I was done before my youngest woke up from his nap!! (yippee, right?!!)

Head on over to the blog to see more projects from my fellow Print & Cut DT members -- Claudette, Cynthia, and Sui Lan.

The Summer Journal Cards are available for purchase at the TGF store now!

toot-a- loo!!

White on White Challenge.

Good evening!!

It's time for another Milk Coffee Challenge! This time it's all about white on white! That means white embellishments and paper on a white card! A colored image is ok.



This challenge was already difficult for me, but I wanted to torture myself even further. I colored the image to black and white. I think it just gives the card more of that cool, multi-dimensional effect!



I used this sweet image of Lisbeth hugging her bunny, although I can't seem to find the exact digi in the store. Sleep has been such a priority for me right now, so this image was calling my name :).

For more deets and inspiration (I especially love Cristina's card), please visit the MC Challenge blog!

Thanks for visiting!

Good Morning, Sue!

Hello!

Am still on a clean and simple kick (well, at least CAS for me :)), so the card I'm showing you today is pretty single-layered. Here's Good Morning Sue's preview from C.C. Design's Roberto's Amigas. Isn't she so much fun?? She makes me laugh!! She and the other Roberto's Rascals / Amigas will be available this Thursday, July 3 at 12 PM EST.



Sue is totally funny because she's so realistic and relatable! Don't we all look like this in the morning?

I wanted a scenic card so I found these Love, Elsie frames in my stash. I tend to go for what is easy and fast (hey, working mama of two over here! LOL) so I just stuck these cute Kawaii post-its of these Hawaiian girls -- they were the perfect size!

I also love that wood washi tape! It seems like real wood! I forgot where I got it from -- Studio calico maybe??

And I love her pajamas. Was trying to get them to look silky, hahaha!

Enjoy today, folks!!
