Sketchiness

So now that I am back on the bloggin' and scrapping train, I have been getting caught up every morning in google reader and I found this fun sketch over at Chic Tags:

I loved those triangles and instantly knew that some distressed Core would be perfect there! I used the cut files from the Chic Tag store and I was planning on using the polaroids I cut but then I was like..."hmmmm I like the words for my title" so  I did that instead over the triangles. 

All the papers are Imaginisce...with two dogs this line is just too cute!

Hopping with Tombow!

Who's with me? Oh, well obviously you are  if you are here :)  

I have a layout for you today that I created using loads of Tombow and Core and some scraps of my Simple Stories patterned paper.  I was playing with my Silhouette and didn't have my blade right when I cut this sentiment. Me, being the hoarder that I am, was like, "how can I save this?"  

The sentiment on the Kraft Core didn't really stand outs so you couldn't even read it. I grabbed some of my ink and sponge and just started dabbing it into the grooves. And, voila! You can read it. 

Here it is light...I kept adding more ink...then of course adding some Tombow Stamp runner to adhere it makes it even easier!

One of the reasons (one of the many many many many many reasons) I love Core is because everything core'dinates! See the pic on the right?  That is the Chocolate Box that I used to scor and create the hatch marks in the bottom right hand corner of the layout. The pic on the left is the back of it...see how it matches my layout base perfectly? All of the lines match easily...no fuss!

I used the 6x6 Chocolate Box and then some Core Essentials.

And last but not least the TOMBOW!  I love the raised power tabs...make sticking things that need a bit more adhesive (like wood embellies) perfect!

 Okay so ready for the hop???

NSD Hangover!

So how much did you get done over NSD? I had an absolute blast working and getting time to scrap all day Saturday. The best part is, is that owen and henry hung with me in my room all day, too, so we got to spend some fun time together.

I joined in some challenges over at Big Picture Scrapbooking and ACOT and FTLOA.

Here are two layouts I did this weekend.

The first one is with a photo from our weekend at Philly watchin' the Phils

spank the Mets ;)

Here is a close up of the Glitter Silk Core'dinations. It punches like a DREAM!
And I ran it through my Cuttlebug for the star. Love it against the wood veneer from Studio Calico.

And a lo about me. I was inspired by Stacy Julian so I had to use her Core'dinations Core Impression line! And do you like the martini glass? YUM! I used my Cricut and some more Core.

This cute little stamps is from Gel-a-tins. Loads of My Mind's Eye on here from FTLOA.

AND DON'T FORGET TO MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!

Mornin'

Well, I guess it isn't the morning anymore. We are a bit behind today. We had to make a trip to the doctor this morning. Pink eye has sprung in our house just in time for Christmas. Henry's eyes were pasted shut this morning and owen has it in is one eye. And or course, my eyes feel all itchy, LOL!

Here are a few cards from the weekend. The first one is featuring Core'dinations Core Essentials and the outlining technique. The 12 Days of Techniques is going on over there so make sure you check it out! Give-a-ways EVERY DAY!!!!!


I used a myStampBOX stamp for the sentiment.

Here is a gift card set that I made over the weekend. I just love these canvas flowers from Jillibean Soup. I cannot get enough of them. I used my Jillibean Soup Unity stamps, too. I cut out a "faux" gift card to give you an idea where you can slide it in.

And a little card to go along with it. I just love Jillibean Soup packaging so I used it on this card. Cardstock is Core Impressions Jillibean soup.

Have a great weekend!!!
