Scraplift From A New Design Team Member

This is the card I used for my scraplift.  It was made by Brenda who is joining the Scrap Tiffany design team today.  I really liked everything she had going on with this card and I could make it into a birthday card for my step-daughter, Sarah, who has a birthday on January 31st.

I had this really great snowflake paper in this yummy tan and white.  I matched it with some cardstock in the same color and added a little Graphic 45 paper scallop.  The large snowflake I picked up a while back in Big Lots because it just looked like a great embellishment for a snowy card.  The other snowflakes I cut on my Cricut Expression.  On the small snowflake I put on gems with my iRock and then added some matching glitter.  For the embellishments in the upper right corner I dotted Stickles in brown and added the dew drops on top giving them a little glitter and brown color.

Thanks, Brenda, for a great card to scraplift! 

Goodbye 2010

This week we are saying goodbye to 2010 and ringing in 2011 at Scrap Tiffany.  This card design was scraplifted, but for the life of me I can't find out who the original designer was.  While I am blog hopping I like to save cards that catch my eye.  I have a file set up for "Cute Card Ideas" and in the beginning I didn't save any information with the picture.  I have changed that now and try to get the information saved so I can give credit to the original designer.

Along with the new year we are welcoming new additions to the Scrap Tiffany Design Team.  The designers that are serving another term are:

Boys, Boys, Boys, it's All About Boys!

 It's All About Boys at Scrap Tiffany this week.  My grandson will be five on January 26th and he loves Buzz Lightyear.  I think he will really be happy with his birthday card.  I found the stickers at Michaels the other day.

Girl Power

A fun card today celebrating "Girl Power".  Since I waited until the last minute to make this card it is a simple card but it still took some time to make.  I love the Zebra stripe paper and have used it mostly on girly cards.  I'm not sure where I'll find more of it because this was the last of it.

I cut the lettering from Cricut's Lyrical Letters which is one of my newer cartridges.  The exclimation mark is chipboard covered with the Zebra stripe paper.  I've had this felt flower in my stash for a long time and it just seemed to fit the card.

Handmade Flowers

Today at Scrap Tiffany we are making Handmade Flowers.  This time of year I am very busy making scrapbooks for my children and their families.  I use filler pages that are 8x8 and each family gets five pages which makes 10 scrapbook LO's.  On this LO I have used tag holders cut from Cricuts Tags, Bags and Boxes cartridge and in each one holds the grandkids Christmas List handwritten by them.  I decorated them with Distress Inks and added a lot of bling with my new I-Rock tool which I just love.

 The large handmade flower was cut using the Sizzix die Flower #3.  The top and middle were changed by cutting off one peddle and gluing it back together which giving it more dimention.  The second flower was made by wetting down a chipboard flower that was flat.  By wetting it down I was able to peel the layers apart giving it a lot of layering.  I then used distress ink along with the Tim Holtz blending tool to give it some color and also leaving some of it naked.

The centers on both flowers are Apholstery Tacks that I picked up at the department store and cut the sharp back off and glued onto the flower.

All of the new design team members have been announced on the Scrap Tiffany Blog.  There is some really talented ladies that will be joining us soon.

Sketch

This LO is for Scrap Tiffany.  This week we had to follow a sketch.

Recipes and Food

Well it's the week of Thanksgiving and it seems that everyone is talking food.  I've seen so many recipes for pumpkin this and pumpkin that and the conflict to put mini marshmellows on the sweet pototes or leave them off.

A family favorite in my family is Broccoli Salad.  I've made this so many times and still always get requests to make it again.  The difference from the deli bought salad and mine is that instead of using raisens I use dried cranberries.  So today at Scrap Tiffany we needed to create around Recipes and Food.

Another Blog Hop!

Today, Scrap Tiffany Blog is participating in another blog hop.  Everyones project will be on the blogs listed below.  It's called a Recipe Challenge, because each Challenge Blog is adding one ingredient to the mix.


Here is who's participating, and what they added to the "recipe."

1. Sassy Lil' Sketches---The Sketch

2. scrapFIT--We want you to use 3 of the same thing on your LO. (3 buttons, 3 ribbons, 3 brads)

3. Crop Suey---We want you to use ink, paint or mist or all 3.

4. scraptiffany---We want to see some LACE.

5. Cuttlebug Spot---We want to see some texture or embossing.

Here is my entry for this hop.  You know you can always tell a scrapbooker from others.  They are the ones that are taking pictures instead of grabbing their grandson up from drinking water from the dogs bowl.  I quit, a long time ago, asking the question, "what are you going to do next"?

ScrapTiffany Holiday Blog Hop

Welcome to my portion of the Scrap Tiffany Holiday Blog Hop.  I am so glad that you have joined me along this journey.  If by chance this is your first stop, hop back to Scrap Tiffany to start at the beginning.  You don't want to miss any of the Scrap Tiffany Design Teams great holiday projects.

For my project I have chosen to make package tags.  Tags are so much fun to make.  You can add as much or as little as you like.   They can be simple or more complex.

This first tag is my favorite!  The tag is cut from Tags, Bags and Boxes Cricut Cartridge.  I topped the tag with red and green papers and embellished the line between the papers with black lace and lime green pom poms.  The snowman is cut from last years seasonal Cricut cartridge Snow Friends and I used white iridescent embossed paper to give them some sparkle.  Some cute tiny buttons tied with black floss run along the side.  I cut two little tags using a Martha Stewart punch and stamped them with To and From and they were tied on top with the tag ribbon.

The second tag was also cut from Tags, Bags and Boxes Cricut Cartridge.  I ran it through my Cuttlebug with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.  Then, using distress inks, gave it a little color.  The dew drops were clear and I colored them red with a Copic marker.  To and From was made with a label maker and done!

The third tag is cut on my own to show that you don't need anything special to make tags.  I stamped a sentiment and once again used one of the snowmen.  I found these cute little doilies the other day and it was perfect for this tag.  I added some bling using my IRock tool.  (love it!)

This last tag was cut out using the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials.  I stamped the snowman (Stampn Up)and colored it with Copic markers and then cut it out.  Tore off a piece of white cardstock and added glitter for the snow.  Stapled the ribbon on and it is ready to be placed on a special package.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you come back again.

Your next stop is KEELY

It's Almost Halloween

It's almost Halloween!  Halloween is such a fun holiday with all the excitement from the kids and so many things to use for decorating.  This week at Scrap Tiffany Halloween is the focus.  I made this card by cutting out the "BOO" with my cricut and embossing with cuttlebug.  I then used distress inks to give it some color.

I like using googlie eyes and put them in the dark pumpkin patch.

Love To Create!

Scrap Tiffany's design team this week made banners.  I've wanted something to put up on my wall in my Scrappy Room for quite a while just never got arount to making anything.  When this project came up I knew just what I wanted to make.

I wanted each letter to be different from the others and I think I really did that. 

Scenery Photos - The Caribbean

This week at Scrap Tiffany we all used scenery photos to make a layout.  I had to really give this one a thought because I'm not one to take pictures of just scenery.  I then remembered out great cruise to the Caribbean in 2008.  I knew I had to have scenery pictures in there.  Of course I had great expectations of making a book with all of these photos but it never got even started.

On  our excursions in Tortola we went to see The Baths in Virgin Gorda.  It was amazing!  These huge bolders are sprinkled along the beach.  There is a path through the bolders and we followed our guide, climbing up, over and around, from one beach to another.

We are returning to Tortola in January 2011 on another Caribbean cruise.  This time we are taking an excursion on a boat that will go back to this same area so we can see it from the sea and snorkel around these great bolders.

I cut the letters out on my Cricut and applied glitter but not covering the whole letter.  I really like how they turned out.  Less Is Better!
