ATC card holders





Everyone is creating and swapping ATC cards. So I thought I would make a few card holders to store some as well as display them. One of the holders I designed with my Gypsy. The other holder I created using the Tim Holtz tag die. These projects were created for the StampinDymonz Design Team.

Baroque Dies Project



My submission for the DT at StampinDymonzScrapShack was a mini album using the baroque(large) and the mini. What a power house this little die is. It is a Tim Holtz (Sissix) die. I create this little mini to pack a bunch of pictures. Since I had a few sheets of the Mariposa collection left, I used them. I kept the base of the pages very simple since it was already quite full. In fact, I used a number of the Tim Holtz dies to create this little treasure. So take a look at it. Here I have showcased the front and back pages. To see a full presentation go over the link above and look for the Cricut, Gypsy and Big Shot Group. There you will find a video and a more details.

Pulling Pastels


Recently I created a card using the pulling pastels technique which Dymonz (StampinDymonz) showed during a recent online gathering of some of the gals from the Stampin Dymonz Scrap Shack. The technique involved using pastels and Versamark ink.

Sissix Onesie Frames




At the ScrapShack, I created a project for the Cricut, Bigshot Group. This project is a go-green project because I used discarded clear packaging to create two adorable baby picture frames using the Sissix onesie die. How did I do it? Well I cut the onesie using my Big Shot and then I used another Sissix die (Frame#2) to adhere to the front of the frame. I punched holes in the sides to attach some jewelry chain. I also used the negative from the Frame#2 die and adhered it to the inside of the back of the frame. I love how this came out. I hope you like it too.

Ribbon Layouts



As a designer with StampinDymonzScrap Shack, I create layouts in which I try to inspire others to put their memories on the pages. Currently, we are doing a challenge that is called, RIBBON and MORE SCRAPBOK CHALLENGE. For this challenge, each participant has to include not only ribbon but buttons, flowers and stitching on their layout pages. FUN! FUN! FUN!. Here are two layouts I did to spark the fire.

An Altered Book



Books have been apart of my life a long time. I LOVE books. There are so many books out there and so little time to read them all. So why not recycle some into a project that you can use. I recently stumbled upon a project that uses the pages of a book to house notes and other tidbits of information. I got the inspiration from this blog: CreativeOperation.blogspot.com. The tutorial for the project can be found here. My altered book measures about 83/4 x 51/4 inches. I used 3
different colors of glimmer mist to color the pages. The colors are: peach delight, lemon zest, and sweet pea. My altered book will sit next to my computer to serve as a catch-all for my stickies and other thing I want to get my hands on quickly. Try one. I bet you'll fall in love with it.
