planNERD Sunday with my new Color Crush!

Happy Father's Day!  Ashley here, from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life, to share a few pages of my new Color Crush planner with you.  I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase one of these from someone who decided it wasn't for them, but I'm still trying to get used to the smaller size!  I've always used the larger DayTimer 5x8 size, so this one is a little different for me.

I've decided to share with you today both my monthly page spread for June and this past week's pages.

Supplies Used
Bella Creationz Church Plans, Happy Days, planNERD, planNERD 2, Plan to be Fit stamp sets
Inks from stash
Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow and Purple Passion
Washi tape from stash

 

I'm still working on the whole planner-decorating thing with the new size, so I think it's going to be a work-in-progress for a while.  Maybe I'll decide just what I want to do fairly soon!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy scrapping!

Technique Tuesday - Creating Your Own Cards w/Texture

Hi friends, happy Tuesday!!

Amber with Best Stamped Intentions with a fun little tutorial that I came up with for our "Technique Tuesday" and creating your own pocket scrapbooking cards with some fun texture. :)

1.  Take some cards (color and size of your choice!)

2. and spray with any kind of color spray.  I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine.

(I misted in the kitchen...shhhh, don't tell my husband!!)

3.  Put into embossing folder and run through whatever embossing machine you've got.

4 and 5 are the completed embossed cards.

6 was actually a happy mistake that I didn't know I was making.  One of the cards was placed differently than the other creating a de-bossed look.  Kind of fun!

After your cards are dry (I left mine out overnight!), then comes the fun part of decorating them.

I used Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow, Aqua Blue, Purple Passion, and Bubblegum Pink to add even more dimension than the embossing made.  I also added a few sequins in (Raspberry Pink) for some added sass. :)

xoxo, Amber

planNERD Sunday!

Ashley here from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life with the first planNERD Sunday of February!  If you use a daily or monthly planner and you're looking for some stamp sets to help decorate your planner, Bella Creationz has some WONDERFUL ones!  I've never decorated my planner before, so this will be a work in progress.

I use a Daytimer planner with monthly and daily pages:

As you can see, the inside pages of the planner are rather plain.  Thought I would dress them up a little!

I really love the pictures and quotes on the monthly divider pages, but I thought they were a little plain.  I spruced up February's page by outlining the large flower with Raspberry Pink Timeless Twine and adding a few Sparkly Clear sequins from Bella Creationz.

I also added some Aqua Blue and Purple Passion Timeless Twine to the monthly calendar page and used the planNERD and planNERD 2 stamp sets from Bella Creationz to quickly put in some deadlines for the month so I could see things at a glance.

I also used Metallic Silver Stars sequins from Bella Creationz to mark off the projects that I'd completed.  My daily pages are still a work in progress, but here's my page from yesterday:

Just a few simple stamps from the planNERD and planNERD 2 sets makes a world of difference!  I really like the "Hydrate" stamp with the glasses at the bottom, as I'm planning to start keeping up with my water intake, but I'm going to have to find an ink color that's a little darker.

I LOVE the "Project" stamp!  It reminds me of all the places I need to make sure my projects get to once they're finished and published on my blog.

Supplies Used

I'm really looking forward to doing some more embellishing in my planner.  I never knew decorating a planner could be so much fun!  I hope you all have a great week!  Happy scrapping!

Happy Halloween!!

Hi all, Rose here with a "spooky" card!! Yup I know Halloween is a few months away but I felt it is never to early to start on holiday cards. :)

I am not a purple person but I think this purple bakers twine from Timeless Twine is perfect for this paper and Halloween, don't you? I added a few gold sequins from Bella Cerationz to give it a bit of bling. 

Gold and Silver Sequins

Purple Passion Bakers Twine

Thanks for stopping by and have a Twine-tastic day!!!

Twine Love

Hello everyone! Isha here today sharing a card with you all. It was really fun to create this one :) 

I just did some watercolor onto my scraps of paper and then made the flowers by sticking the twine. Then I cut around it and the shape kind of looks like flowers. I die cut some leaves, used my shimmer mist onto everything and then stamped the tiny sentiment from the Bella Creationz stamp. To finish I just used some of our sequins from the shop.

I hope you would play with your twine, it is fun for sure :)

Twine-dyed Easter Eggs!!

Rose here with another Spring project. 

Using wood grain cs I cut out this picket fence cut file from the Silhouette store that makes a super cute Easter basket. Added a vine boarder using a punch and finished it off with some Timeless Twine. Then I "dyed" the eggs with Timeless Twine and some sequins.

My boy Q loves the hopping chick so am lucky I got a photo of it!! lol

hope you all have a twine-tastic weekend!!!

Hello Spring

Hey Everyone!!

Well, Spring is upon us, however, I am NOT feeling the snowy cold days that have brought snow with them. That is not my idea of spring. So, I decided to create a fun spring card that was sure to bring some spring joy to my life {lol}. 

I am on a super huge stitch on paper kick! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! For the butterfly, I cut out a butterfly on my cameo and lightly traced around it with a pencil. I then used one of my American Craft stitching stencils to judge the placement of the holes. I untwisted the twine and used one of each color, so that it was a "thinner", as I didn't want it to be too thick. And, I also put a bit of watercolor on the edge and added dimensional dots to give it some dimension. I really love how these butterflies came out. They were def the perfect touch of spring I needed!

I used the following products to create this card. 

Purple Passion

Lemonade Yellow

Aqua Blue

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a twine-tastic day!! 

Hugs,
