Shopping Hauls

 

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted but I have been spending time with my family in Fl and the grandkids came home with me for 3 weeks.  I sure have missed my crafting but have been making up for it with shopping.  So here are a couple of shopping hauls that I have done.  Enjoy and feel free to hop over to my youtube channel  Scrapngigi for more videos.  Have a great summer and I will be back to crafting very soon as I miss it so much.

Split Letter A

Used my cameo today to make a split letter A, this was my first attempt at this, I think for the first one it turned out pretty good.  There is a few flaws in this one as my transfer paper was not what  normally use.  I used the letter A from the Regal font which is from the www.Fontspace.com/Aldus/regal.  Thanks for looking hoping to get the hang of this and be able to make more of these.  Thanks for looking.

Mickey's Chipboard Album

 This was made with a kit from Archivers that I had purchased awhile back.  Finally decided to use some of the things that I already have on hand.  I really enjoyed making this super easy book.  I have seen so many talented people making the envelope, filefolder and tag books that I thought it was time I tried my hand at making one.  This one is gonna be a gift but I do plan on making more as once you start you just cant stop making them they can be made for so many different occasions.  Thanks for watching the video.  Love hearing from each and every one of my followers.

Cuttle Bug Folder Storage

This is using one of the double art bin totes with dividers for storing all my folders in one place.  Thanks for popping in today.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85B3c5pf0e4

Graphic 45 Curtin Call

While it has been awhile since I have posted anything, I have been wanting to try my hand at some graphic 45 paper that I got from Big Lots.  So here is my first attempt with this paper line.  I did use the silhouette to cut my beige background on card it is actually a open design envelope and i just folded over some brown paper and glued down, I used glimmer mist on my flowers, some black cardboard for my background papers, and some bling to make it pop alittle.  Inside I used a stamp from my stash and elevated the cardboard at bottom with foam tape to have a place to put my stick pins.  Thanks for stopping by sorry it has been so long, but I'm so thankful for my faithful followers. 

Goodwill Finds

Went to local thrift store today and started doing the happy dance.  Found some awesome deals.  Make sure you ck out your local thrift stores.  I was so surprised to find these goodies as I never find deals like this at my thrift store.  Thanks for looking.

Silhouette first cuts

I used my silhouette for the first time and I think I'm gonna be in love with this machine.  It seems to be super easy even right out of the box.  My first cut was these two items a doily and a frame

They were extremely good cuts I thought and super easy to manuever.  My next item was a piano card.  This was a card I had wanted to do for sometime and the card choice was super easy.  I cant wait to learn all the ins and outs of this machine.  I have been watching some videos and find that everyone that has posted a video of this machine has done a wonderful job passing on their knowledge  of the silhouette.  Hopefully I will be doing that soon too.  But for now I think I'm in love, I wont be getting rid of my cricut but I think she will find herself quite content and loved at her new home.

Used a spellbinder die, paper flowers and a stamp from my stash, and some glittered ribbon across the top of the keys.  Thanks for stopping in to see my new toy.

Peter Cottontail just hopped by my house

This card is a 6 x 6 card and I just wanted to make something quick to do alittle crafting.  After being gone for a week to Disney I  just wanted something to do instead of trying to figure out how many pictures to print as we only took 2300 pictures.  So this was my distraction project Hope you like it.
I used Inkadinkado stamp called Natures Garden, I colored the image with copics, added a ribbon and some flat back pearls. The brown detailed background is from Joann Fabrics it is called Layers from DAVIDTUTERA Celebrate(it is in the card section where you buy your premade cards) it was an A2 size they come 12 to a set and one piece is like embossed the other is cut out.  I thought they would be great when making quick cards.  I only used the cut out on this card.  Thanks for stopping in. And as nice as Disney was the card says it all.  Home Tweet Home.
