INSPIRED!

So, I was looking for SOMETHING to give to my sister for her bridal shower coming up this weekend, and you know how it is when you just can't seem to find the perfect thing... especially for the girl who has everything. Well, what about a mini album so she can compile her shower photos? BRILLIANT if I do say so myself! And she DOES love to create... it's the artist in us both. Yep, mini album it is! So a few days ago I was stalking the sites (as I sometimes do) and ran across this little gem at The Greeting Farm:

I don't know who created this masterpiece, but the postmarks and the monochromatic "aged" look was PERFECT for my sister... and I happen to have the PERFECT set of stamps from 7 Gypsies that featured Italian images and postmarks! YAY! Knowing that Italian is right up her alley, I was all over it!!! I bound 4 pages and matted the pages with complimentary papers from Graphic 45 and 7 Gypsies (you KNOW how I love them) and left it at that. I might throw in some embellies for her, but I know from personal experience, putting the album together is all the fun!

So for my interpretation of the AMAZING project above, I used The Greeting Farm's Cheeky Glamour, Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Odds and Ends and 7 Gypsies Venice clear stamps to make this little project and I love it... let's hope my sister does too!!! :)

Copics I used: E08, E18, E42, E39, E50, E51 and W3 <--- No really... that was it!!!

***UPDATE: I just got an email from The Greeting Farm. To see more AMAZING projects from this artist, check out http://rimna.blogspot.com/.

Past 7 Days....

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card. I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :( Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm. Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project. The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside. I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft. I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

The BEST Copic Storage

**** HUGE HALLOWEEN GIVE AWAY... CLICK HERE !!!!**** Ok, so I've done posts in the past about various Copic storage solutions, but I was given THE MOTHER of all storage ideas by my friends Jennie Black and Krista Koenig!!! Let me share with you the construction of the storage box and then I'll finish this off with the BRILLIANT solution my husband came up with.... cuz I married a GENIUS!!! What you'll need to create the AWESOME storage box pictured here is: 1 Double Deep Art Bin 1 plastic grid for ceiling lighting (found at your local home improvement store) 1 half inch thick wooden square dowel (also found at your local home improvement store) Dimensional adhesive squares Wire cutters or sheers Screws with corresponding drill bit Drill So I first cut the ceiling grid down to 19 squares by 19 squares using my wire cutters. You will need two 19 x 19 sections of grid material. The wire cutters went through the plastic material of the grid like b...

Evil Twin

*This is my second post of the day, for my inspiration project for Paper Vineyard, please scroll down.* Ok gang... are you ready for a fun one?!? This time the challenge over at The Burtonesque Dolls is TWINS!!! Flip an image to create TWINS! Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum have NOTHIN on The Burtonesque Dolls BABY!!! Check it out! So I couldn't help myself! I'm so in love with the Pipper new release over at Simply Betty Stamps , I had to reuse her again for this challenge. I mean, come on.... she NEEDED an evil twin, didn't she?!? hahahahahahaha! It's hard to believe that she's the good one!!! LOL! I just wish this looked as good in the pic as it looks in real life. For some reason I just couldn't get a good shot of this. The row of black roses look perfect paired with that cute skullie. That skullie is actually a button. I removed the shank and filled the eyes with red stickles....

Fun and Mental Changes
