Trying Not To Be Tardy to the Card Party!

 

Happy Sunday ya'll!

 

I've been out and about all weekend, but I wanted to pop in today to enter into some fun challenges before time runs out! Tick...tock...tick...tock...must hurry!!!!

 

I'm trying to make more birthday cards so that I'll always have some on hand. Here's a new birthday creation.

 

 

 

First, I'm linking up to Annette's Linky party. It's a fun one that's all about birthdays & anniversaries!

 

 

 

Next, I'm linking up to Seize the Birthday. This is my first time playing over there. I will be joining in more often for sure. It's a whole lotta fun & will help me stock up on b-day cards.

 

 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a FUN GIVEAWAY & a NEW PROJECT!

It's Rachel's Time to Create!

My daughter Rachel is the special guest today!

 

She has a fun project that she made all by herself using goodies from Clear Scraps!

 

{please excuse the red marks. I forgot to photograph this before her teacher graded it. - oops!}

 

Rachel is not into scrappin' like I am - (sad face).

 

She'd rather listen to One Direction ...

 

 

Go to a movie ...

 

 

or shop.

 

 

 

But a girl must do her homework....so...here's her creation.

 

Rachel's spanish teacher assigned the class a project where they all had to make a book and write an orginal story.

 

The story is all in espanol and is about a Little Owl's first day of school. She used Clear Scraps 6 x 6 chipboard album and Nikki Silvil's School is Cool collection.

 

Rachel was so excited to get an "A" on this project! Several students even commented on how cute her book is. It's always good to have a mom with scrapbook supplies in the house right? (smile)

 

If your kiddo ever needs supplies for their school projects, be sure to check out the Clear Scraps store for loads of fun products.

It's Really, Really Tall!

Did you know that there are loads of fun templates and cutting files at The Cutting Cafe?

(P.S. - I'm also playing along in the Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger Challenge. I think my project fits in so well with the inspiration this week.) 

I love gifting, so my new fave is the Tall Box template.

The set comes with one solid tall box, one with a window cut out, one with 4 window cut outs, 8 sentiments, and one window frame.

  

I made this one using paper and embellies from the Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm collection.

Be sure to visit The Cutting Cafe Store for more fun crafty goodies.

Epiphany Crafts Embellie Buckets

 

 

 

I've got a fun Epiphany Crafts project today!

 

Keep reading to see the details of my project.

 

Also check me out on the EC Blog - Click HERE!

 

I'm headed to a crop night next week and made something fun for the ladies who will be attending. These are my homemade "Embellishment Buckets". I used the Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Button Studio Tool and Round 25 Clear Button Caps to make the button embellies.

 

 

I used paper from Heidi Grace's Cartwheel collection. Here's my tip for today - when using the EC round tool make sure you pick paper that has images that you can center within each button. This will make your round button "pop".

Place your favorite embellishments in each bucket. You can add ribbon, clothespins, or your own Ephiphany Crafts custom buttons.

  

 

 

Here's another fun idea - - - You can also use your EC custom made buttons to make toothpick embellies.

I hope you all enjoyed my fun little project!
