Getting Cricky DT post

Yeah today is my Getting Cricky DT post.

We are showcasing K Andrew Designs

"Even More Food for Thought"

stamp set.

I am getting sad because my time as a Design Team member is coming to a close. Only 1 month and it will be over but I am having as much fun as possible while it lasts. If you would like to become a member of Kristal's amazing design team there is still time to apply. Just click HERE to find out all the details.

I have been making lunchbox notes for the grands all summer so that I would be ahead of the game when school started. I can not believe that the kids are going back to school in just 2 weeks. It feels like summer just started and already it is over.

Here are 6 tags for my grandson. They were so fast and fun to make. I can write a message on the back and he can use it as a bookmark as well.

Goblin Green and Sunflower crinkle ribbon

Olive You Easel Card

Happy Friday everyone, today is my 3 Girl JAM post. I hope you all have been having a wonderful week. I have been busy making all kinds of different notecards and it has been loads of FUN.

I have to say this is such a super duper cute easel card. It was made using a PTI jar die. I ended up cutting it 3 different times for this card. The bow was made with "Goblin Green" crinkle ribbon and the help of 3 Girl JAM's new Beautiful Bow Maker which is July's special and comes with some really pretty "Summer Sprinkles" crinkle ribbon. The sentiment and hearts are from K Andrew Designs "It's Valentines" stamp set.

Remember you still have 4 days to apply for the

3 Girl JAM Design Team!!

I am entering this card in the weekly challenge at Made Especially For You.

Viewmaster Notecards

These cards are so much fun and the kids have been loving them.

I was able to fit 4 images on each wheel.

The little images are from Paper Studio "Summer Fun" Barrel of Stamps. I colored them in with some LePlume II markers and atyou Spica pens

The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Sweet July" stamp set.

I cut the banner using the Papertrey Ink "Double-Ended Banners" die.

Check out "dostamping" on YouTube. She has some fantastic tutorials.

Layers, Layers, Layers

Hiding in My Craft Room wants to see lots of layers for their challenge this week.

I found a tutorial on YouTube called Easy Triple Time Stamping that uses 6 layers of cardstock for a very cool effect.

 I made 2 notecards trying this technique and really need to practice a little bit more. They did turn out pretty cute though. Note: I did change the way the cardstock is layered from the way it is shown in the tutorial.

When I was taking the pictures I realized that I had stamped the inside of the wrong card so I will be adding a mat to the inside. See happy accident. lol

I used 3 Girl JAM "Summer Sprinkles" crinkle ribbon and "Sunshine Yellow" twine. The "Summer Sprinkles" crinkle ribbon comes with the 3 Girl JAM Beautiful Bow Maker through the month of July.

My petite little bow was made using the Bow Maker and it was so very simple and turned out just perfect.

I'm baaaack!

Holy cow it has been over a week since I last posted. I didn't think it had been that long but then again my mind and emotions have been on other things. There has been so much daughter drama around the house and mom has been on vacation for almost 2 weeks so I've had my head full of things.

For those that don't already know we have 4 generations (7 soon to be 8 bodies) living under 1 roof. Our daughter and 2 grands moved in with hubby and I almost 2 years ago. Then a few months later our basement was finally finished and my mom moved in. My daughter had our 3rd grand in June of last year and is now due with our 4th grand in October. Right before the 4th of July all H-E-double hockey sticks broke loose with the daughter and my emotions went on a Six Flags roller coaster ride for a while. lol

Well things have settled down a little (or I've just taken better control of my head and heart) and I am feeling like creating. Yep the mojo is coming back a little bit. I have been working on a couple of things that can't be shown yet (birthday cards and shower decorations) but here is a card I made a short time ago.

This is "007 Betty" from Simply Betty Stamps colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Fashionable Friends" stamp set.

I used a 1" Glue Dot to make a flower with 3 Girl JAM "Sterling" crinkle ribbon and added a "Vintage Button" also from 3 Girl JAM.

3 Girl JAM DT Day

TGIF my crafty friends. Gloria here from Oma's Crafts.

I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th holiday last week. The past 2 weeks have been so stressful around here. My mom headed down to Florida on Tuesday for a visit with my sister and her family. My neice just had a sweet little baby girl and I think great-grandma was excited to welcome the new addition to our family. There has been a lot of drama around our house lately and believe me mom needed to get away from it all and recharge herself. If I could have managed it I probably would have run away with her.

So for my DT project I made a card to go along with baby Erin's gift.

The clothes line was made with 3 Girl JAM's "Green Apple" twine. Didn't it turn out terrific. This twine is thicker than most so it was absolutely perfect.

I also used Papertrey Ink's "Hanging Out' stamp set and die for the baby clothes and the sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "In the Family" stamp set.

Quick Bookmark

This is a bookmark I made for hubby. He is a total bookworm and even though he has a nook he still likes the old fashioned way of reading.

Believe it or not we still have a library of books. Things have scaled down a bit over the years but there are still those paperback and hard covers that you can't part with no matter what.

I have the complete Left Behind series that I like to re-read every so often. I also love James Patterson (mostly the Women's Murder Club) Hubby is into Sci-Fi, Science and guns.

So do you think he will be able to concentrate on reading? lol

I used Papertrey Ink's "Bookmark" die to make the actual bookmark and added some "Krazy for Kraft" Trendy Twine for the tassel.

The image is "Samantha" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.
