I Got A Little Carried Away

So I just finished April's Copic Coloring Palooza project and I'm thinking I need to name this class the Scrappy Stuff Palooza!!!  I got a little carried away playing in my craft room!!!  So April's Copic Coloring Palooza at Paper Vineyard will not only include my FAVORITE ALL-TIME-STAMP (that you get to keep, by the way, if you take my class), but we're also going to dive into learning how to use some of my favorite scrappy tools.  I'll show you the completed project, and then I'll go over EVERYTHING I used to make it.


So, I used Copic Markers for this (after all, this is for a Copic Class) as well as the new Copic Airbrush.  BUT THEN..... I used The Cinch, the Zutter Distrezz It All, Zutter's Corrugated board, SmoochSpritz AND the American Tag HomePro!  This was SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN TO MAKE and I can't wait to show all of you how to use all this great stuff!!!   Add to that getting to use my Graphic 45 Halloween In Wonderland papers with the web ribbon and you've got yourself one SUPER FUN book cover.  Don't laugh, but once this class is over, I'll be adding a title to this book cover reading "My Diary" in BEAUTIFUL Edwardian Script that I will then scratch out and write over it in really scratchy-type penmenship "What The Voices Say"!!!!  That is so freakin hysterical.  Yep, this book cover's gonna rock!!!  I can't wait for April!!!  I'll let you all know when the classes are scheduled.  I'm super excited about this one! 

*** Suggested Copic Markers for this project:  B12, B93, B97, B99, BV20, BV23, BV29, C0, C2, C4, C9, E00, E000, E21, E40, E42, E43, R20 and Y19

LOL! You are so funny, I can only imagine what you are like in person.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE, this cover, using all those tools paid off. This is one of my favorite stamps too. By the way I am still practicing my red hair coloring, once I like it I'll want you opinion. :)

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....
