Happy Shark Week Dude! A 6x6 scrapbook page

Hey Guys!

  Here's a 6x6 scrapbook page I made for one of my albums. Shark week themed of course! I *love* this little speech bubble.


  It's an easy page to put together. The speech bubble is by Sandi Idleman and lettering is by Lettering Delights. I added the lettering into the bubble in Silhouette Studio and cut it out using the print and cut feature. The shark stamp is by Avery Elle and colored with Spectrum Noir markers. Both items were adhered to this fun paper by Echo Park. And I added a few black pearl bling to the sides.

  Thanks for stopping by! I'm so sorry I didn't post yesterday. It was a long day and I didn't get a decent daylight picture before the sun went down. I will be posting twice on Saturday!

  I hope you are all enjoying shark week!  See you tomorrow for a fun shaker card using this same caption bubble!

Hello Chum ATC

 

  Here's another ATC sized card I will be adding to my Shark Week pocket page (in addition to my shark score card you saw on Sunday).  On a 2.5 x 3.5 inch card made from Specialty Stamping Paper, I inked a layer of Salty Ocean Distress Ink and then added a thick coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Sea Glass and dried it with my embossing tool. On a second 2.5 x 3.5 inch card, I die cut a circle and inked the card with Distress Ink in Salty Ocean. After drying this card with my embossing tool as well, I adhered the cards together and stamped both fish and the worm on a hook with Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black.  The shark stamp was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and I added some sequins to glam it up a bit.

  I am linking this up to Simon Says Stamp's Tic Tac Toe Challenge since I have a line. (Sequins, Blue, Spray).

  Thanks for stopping by! See ya tomorrow!

Shark Week is here!!!!

Happy Shark Week!

  This week I will be sharing shark themed cards and crafts on my blog so be sure to stop by!

  I created a score card for my boyfriend and I to fill in at the end of this week, so we can rate how we liked Shark Week this year. It's a small card, 2.5 x 3.5 inches (ATC sized) and I will be saving it in a pocket page for our album of random things.


  I cut the card out using my Silhouette Cameo, and cut out the shark bite with plain ol' scissors. The stamps are by Sweet Stamp Shop. Everything except for the shark and tv was stamped right onto the card. The shark and tv were stamped onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth cardstock and colored with their markers, fussy cut and adhered to the card.

  Are you watching Shark Week? Let me know in the comments below!

Mmmmm Burgers...

  Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!


   I couldn't resist creating this cheeseburger card for a burger loving Dad I know. But seriously, who doesn't love a good burger?! Even if meat is not your thing, veggie burgers are pretty darn good too.

  The burger stamp is from Let's BBQ by Lawn Fawn. I just stamped it all over my paper and colored 'em with Spectrum Noir markers. The lettering is my own. I drew Dad by hand with a pencil and then used a black embossing pen by Ranger to outline the letters, heat set some black embossing powder on top of it and then colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers.

  I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Cameo Control Panel - Shark Week Is Coming!!!!

  Shark Week is coming! Do you watch it?! My boyfriend and I have been watching it for years and love it!

  Fun fact about me: Sharks are one of the reasons I am not a big fan of swimming in the ocean. Just the thought of one being near me and not being able to see it, eek!

  Anyway, I will be celebrating with a few shark themed projects from June 26 - July 2, right here on my blog!

  So to kick off the Shark Week countdown, here is my new Cameo control panel for the rest of June.


Will you be watching or crafting for Shark Week?

Fireworks at the Beach!

A blog post on a Sunday! 

  Today I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge - Monochrome (click for link).

  For my monochrome color I chose blue. This one sided "card" also has a burst of red. I'm actually going to use this in a pocket page for my 4th of July photos.
 
 
  For my project I used stamps and Lawn Cuts by Lawn Fawn. The inks used are by Imagine Crafts. I thought different shades of blue would be great for a night sky/beach/ocean silhouette with some fireworks bursting in the sky. Out of all of the places to be watching fireworks, I would prefer to watch them at the beach!

  It's so hard to find awesome 4th of July / Independence Day stamps and this one by Lawn Fawn is one of my favorites! Unfortunately, it has been retired by Lawn Fawn. Hopefully, next year they have a new stamp set for the holiday. (Fingers crossed!)

Have a great Sunday!

Cameo Control Panel for June - Sweet!

Hey guys!

  Happy June! I updated my Silhouette Cameo control panel for June using some sugary sweet stamps from the Donut Forget set by Sweet Stamp Shop. Will I be thinking about or craving donuts, ice cream, fro-yo and cookies next time I craft? We shall see...


  I decided to color these with my Spectrum Noir markers in a bold color palette instead of a light pastel palette. The fro-yo's and cherries were my favorite stamp to color for this project.


Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a Sweet Day!
