Practical Scrappers.
This week our mission was to use a white pen or marker on our projects. This was good for me because it’s not something I do a lt. I have a Signo Uniball white gel pen and I absolutely hate it so I don’t ever use it. Here’s a sneek peak at my layout which is shown today (Tuesday)
and you can go to the Practical Scrappers blog here to see the rest of my layout and the other girls’ projects.

Tuesday is the day my project goes up on the blog at Practical Scrappers, so today’s the day! This week’s assignment was to use chalks or inks. Go here to see the layout that I did this week.
And now that last week is over, I can show you what I made for my design team assignment. Our mission was to use stamps, which is not something I do very often. Instead of just stamping one image to use on my page, I decided to use it to make my background on my paper. Here’s my page:
I used a Unity Stamp Co. circle stamp and ink in every color of the rainbow to make te background!
Isn’t my little bunny the cutest?
She’s All That…
and a bag of chips. Where did that saying come from? Here’s another project I did for my design team assignment last week for Practical Scrappers. Our mission was to use flowers, so I broke out my Primas. I love my Primas.
And here are some closeups:
See that title? It’s a rub-on from Memories Complete. Now, I don’t know if it was because my package of rub-ons was VERY old or whether they’re all just crap, but I will never purchase these again. My layout actually started on the other side of the paper but due to the crappy rub-on that I tried to use for my title the first time not rubbing on sufficiently and only a third of it ending up on the paper and making a huge mess, I had to flip my paper over and use the smoother side. Yes, I know I could have used Undu or something similar to get the rub-on off of there if I really wanted to……but I didn’t really want to. ha ha Anyway, it was irritating. And I will remember it the next time I buy rub-ons, ya know?
This tag is one of my favorite items in my studio. I got it from an etsy shop called Deejan here. She has got some of the THE cutest tags in her shop and I have others I have bought from her with cats and dogs on them. I love her stuff!
It’s true; there is no one like her……

My new project is up over at Practical Scrappers. This week’s theme is FLOWERS. Go on over and check out all the awesome design team projects (mine!) and link up one of your own creations!
Here’s sneak peak of mine, but please go see the rest of my layout at Practical Scrappers here:
I believe I can FLY….
This is the second project I came up with as a design team member over at Practical Scrappers. Our mission was to use brads this week, which is something I rarely do anymore for some reason. I based this layout on a sketch by Heidi over at CropStar. She’s got a sketch contest going on. Sketches are also something I don’t use a lot, so it was nice to get out of my “comfort zone” this week and this is what I came up with.
I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch to make a butterfly from an old music book page (painted with watered down acrylic paint and Stickles) to tie in with my FLY theme.
I used a Fancy Pants straight pin to coordinate with my butterfly and the whole FLY theme of my page.
You can’t tell it here, but those little Imaginisce mini brads are sparkly!
Title is done with my all time favorite American Crafts thickers (LAX). I LOVE these!
Stop and Smell The Tulips…
I showed you a sneak peek before of my first design team project for Practical Scrappers, and today I’ll show you the whole layout since we’re onto another project over there. Our assignment was to use a diecut machine, so I used the Pazzles and used the Paper Lace CD to cut the butterfly background paper.
What I love about the photo in the layout is this was during Summer’s “Elmo phase” when she absolutely adored him and she’s having him “smell” the tulip…..but it’s actually in his mouth, so it just cracks me up cause he’s eating it instead of smelling it. Strikes me funny, I don’t know why. ha ha
This was the first time I’ve ever used Heidi Swapp ghost letters. I think I like them. I used lime green Stickles to just outline the edges on these.
I can’t resist tying a ribbon (American Crafts) and sticking in some pins (those are from Fancy Pants).
Of course, if you’ve been hanging around here any length of time you know by now that I can’t call it done until I’ve added some sort of bling, so I randomly put some jewels from Michaels and some Kaisercraft pearls onto some of the butterflies.
Do you like?
