Teresa Collins World Traveler

Some Teresa Collins World Traveler in the house!

I got my stash from For the Luv of Art. You are going to love love love this line. I used it for a trip to Amsterdam this summer for Core. It could be for any road trip. And even the damask prints and the greens and black and whites.....gorgeous! I love the lattice print and the map paper especially. Seriously, how  much map paper can you really have? :):):)

The banner is from a Cocoa Daisy stamp.

The Chevron print is Core'dinations Core Impressions (Pink Paislee)

I had so much fun creating these and was totally inspired by some challenges over at Cocoa Daisy a few weeks ago.

Wacky Wednesday with some Pink Paislee

So are you ready for the Holiday?  I am. R  AND R baby.  I have the worst chest cold and sinus infection. What a way to spend the Holiday. Good thing is we aren't doing NADA. Nope, nothing...just going to the in-laws and chillin'. Can't wait for that. With this cold I might want to stay in bed but I might get yanked out.  Maybe if I threaten them with cooking I will get to stay in bed ;)

Speaking of chillin'...I have the funniest photo of henry and i sneaking some cheetos in the garage the other day. He is the quirkiest kid. He wanted a snack so I got him some in a bowl and he asked to go eat them in the garage. What?  Yep. Garage. So I got out the cooler and he got out his chair and we had a Cheeto picnic. So without further ado...  let me introduce you to Mr. Cheeto Face....

And then of course Mr Nosey didn't want to miss anything so he came out to make sure we weren't shooting baskets in his new basketball hoop. We will call him Mr No Shoes in November...

Anywho....

So up for a project? I made this for the Core'dinations and Pink Paislee blog  swap last week. Core and PP teamed up for the GORGEOUS Pink Paislee Modern Prints Core Impressions line...

{Remember to click on the images for larger images and a slide show}

I layered and layered the cut out flowers with some Glue Arts UCut 3D Adhesives. 

And I stole this cool scissor from Joyce to make these fun flowers. This scissor is SO FUN! I would definitely recommend stealing one from a friend ;)

And a card....

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!!!

2sketches4you

So my mojo left me for a bit and I was browsing blogs and schtuff and I remembered how much I LOVE 2sketches4you and that it has been forever I did one of their sketches.

So here it be....

Supplies:
New Graphic 45 Core Impressions from Core'dinations and the core'dinating Graphic45 papers :)

Stamp is from myStampBOX. And for the notebook paper (used my punch for that) I used the backside of the Core'dinations cardstock. Love to do that!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

Friday!!!

Yeah for Friday!

We are off to the Wine Festival shortly. The day got away from me and I wanted to get a blog post in before the day was done and weekend is here.

Today was our last day of school and I made this little guy from the Little Black Dress June kit. I used a Martha Stewart paper piecing for the owl. I added the googley eyes and Core'dinations cardstock {not in kit} and the wing is from a vintage card that comes in the LBD kit.

The Hooray sentiment is an SRM sticker. These are so fun!

And in honour of the Wine drinking this weekend here is a layout from the LBD June kit. I just wanted to document how much I love sitting outside with a wine, good book and watch the kiddos run around. One of my FAVE things to do...

I ran these flowers through my Cuttlebug.

Have a great weekend!!!

Caardvarcks, Core'dinations, and stuff

92 and counting!!! That is how many entries there are so far over at the Caardvarks challenge blog. Make sure you check it out to see how you can win a 3 month guest spot at Core'dinations. I cannot say enough about how awesome they are!!!

OOOOOH and I almost forgot!!! PLEASE jump over to the Cuttlebug Challenge blog and follow us!!! Tons of awesome inspo even if you don't have a Cuttlebug...there is Cricut stuff and just plain old COOL projects. Tell 'em I sent ya ;)

I have a few more layouts to show you from the Nook crop the other weekend...It was sooo much fun to scrap, scrap, scrap my heart out for the weekend.

This first one is a bit funky for me :) I used the beer menu from this cool restaurant that we went to in Little Rock a few weeks ago while we were on vacation. This place had 149 beers on tap!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!

I used a myStampBOX stamp to journal on the inside and then I highlighted the beers we tried.

AND the flower is from a Studio Calico sticker that came on one of their kit bags.

How CUTE is this little myStampBox stamp???


I was totally inspired by my super talented friend, Susan Stringfellow to use some random embossing techniques on here. Just grab your Quickutz and go for it!!

I used some Jenni Bowlin Core Impression Core'dinations, along with some October afternoon goodies on here....random embossing with my Quikutz. And owen, owen, owen...i can't believe what a nugget he is here!

Fabulous Friday!

First off...make sure you put April 29th on your calendar! We are doing a humungous Blog hop over at Kiki Art and EVERY blog will be doing a give-a-way or donating their project to their favorite organization so please make sure you come visit. That Kiki has a heart of gold. Here is my sneak of what I will be giving away ;)



So this weekend was a crop over at My Scrapbook Nook. I got a whole bunch done and was super excited! First up are some Jillibean Soup and Core Impression projects. Gosh, I just swoooooon over Jillibean and Core!!!

AND I did a double pager. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! You can click on it to make it bigger if ya want ...

The challenge was to use Glossy Accents and glittery glue stuff so I used that and my Creative Imaginations Glitter Glue...LOVE that stuff!

and I love to use my Glossy Accents for polka dots so here is a little closeup of that since my layout is dang small up there...

Ribbon Wave ...

is still going strong! We are having a lot of fun over there and you know how I love ribbon {seriously, let's be honest when it comes to scrapping supplies I don't discriminate ;}. So for this week, our challenge was to use 3 pp's, 3 embellishments, 3 diff ribbons and 3 photos and they all had to be different. AND we had to weave the ribbon...so here is my take on this week's challenge. I had to document this look on owen's face..he is such a ham and i knew as soon as he saw this vine that the "mom" was going to come roaring out of me! hence...the title.... ;)



Here is my ribbon weave... I mounted it on cardstock b/c it was much easier to secure and then I put this frame around it. The frame looked blah, so I used some of my myStampBOX stamps on it with some white craft ink. I looove this technique! My Helmar 450 Quick dry Adhesive worked great securing the ribbon down and the frame.

And these fun guys were out for a drive that day, too ;)

Cuttlebug Be Inspired Challenge No. 78 AND SRM stickers!

Wahoo!

I looove Wednesdays ;) It is Cuttlebug Challenge Blog day. Today's challenge was a Baby Theme. And I was inspired by the SRM Blog hop going on right now, so I busted out my SRM stickers. Holy cow are the easy, fun AND cute! So I used the sketch here for this card:

And you know if I am embossing that I gotta bust out the Core'dinations. I seriously wonder what my life was like before Core.

The Core Impressions are Jillibean Soup, along with the Patterned Paper and a new button frm JBS.

Great Ribbon Rave

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had our St Patty's day parade and it was GORGEOUS! I am glad I put sunscreen on the boys b/c owen missed a spot on his arm and it was bright red...and so was my nose, LOL

but it was really worth it...good friends...good food and bagpipes!!!

Check out this guy....LOVE it!



And these guys were cute with their Shamrocks. We don't live far from where they brew Yuengling:

Next up is the Great Ribbon Rave over at SavvyNSassy. This was the first place I ever joined when I found scrapping on the internet AND it was my first Guest Spot, too! They have awesome ribbon, I know you have heard me talk about it before...

So I joined the contest this time. It is different not judging and being on the other end for sure!

I used some of the new Cosmo Cricket papers and Core'dinations Core Impressions. We got these Cosmo goodies in a product trade with Core, love how generous they are!

We had to use Four Ribbons on our layout and here is my interpretation...


And here are some layered chipboard flowers. I love how sticky these cb pieces are! I know, it's the little things, LOL! And don't forget the SRM stickers!!! I am LOVING these.
