Birthday Kit

September 21, 2012 | cristina

Ju Kneipp has a new birthday kit in the store today, and it was just what I needed to scrap my birthday!

I had fun making this page!

I also used the kit to make a birthday card for my grandmother, since her birthday is coming up soon. I have a confession to make.. as much as I love making cards, I have a complete aversion to making birthday cards. Not really sure why! But I love how this one turned out!

Here’s a detail:

ETA 9/24: I got a gallery standout for this card! 😉

I am totally ready for the weekend… just one more day to go! 🙂

Project Life – Week 24

September 17, 2012 | cristina

I have had this week ready to share for a while, so here it is. But first, let me share that the new Project Life cards are available!

Also, if you’ve been waiting to get the Project Life Clementine kit, it is back in stock, along with many other core kits!

I’ve placed my order and should be getting my new cards on Tuesday. Yay! OK, here’s my Week 24. 🙂

I kept things rather simple this week, to get it done faster. I used papers from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook 6X6 Pad and did some stamping.

The green title alpha is by Studio Calico, and I used ColorBox pigment ink to stamp with the Stepping Stone Alpha by Studio Calico, the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook stamps (the arrow), the Smash date stamp and the EK Success Image Tree typewriter alpha.

The animal stamps are by Hampton Arts, while the “so cool” stamp is by Studio Calico (retired). As usual, I printed all my photos on the Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, 4 x 6 Inches, and I used several photo collage templates by Designs by Lili.

Another week done! I have not been in the mood for PL this week, sadly, so I have only begun working on Week 25.

Fabulous Fall

September 16, 2012 | cristina

A couple of weeks ago Jenn Barrette collabed with Zoe Pearn on a fall kit. I didn’t have time to create with it at the time, but I knew I wanted to use it soon. It’s an adorable fall kit:

The colors are not the traditional fall ones, and maybe that’s why I love this kit so much.

Is it starting to feel like fall in your corner of the world? It is here, and I am totally loving the cool weather!

New kit and a CT call!

September 15, 2012 | cristina

Mari Koegelenberg has a new collab in her store today, and it’s beautiful!

The kit is full of adorable pieces, including some bokeh goodness!

And I also have a fantastic opportunity to share with you: Mari is having a CT call!

Mari’s was one of my first teams ever, and I have been on her team since June 2009 – over three years now! She is a fabulous designer and a beautiful person – it is a great team to be on!

Crazy 4U

September 14, 2012 | cristina

Bree of Scrap’It Designs has a new collection in her store today, and I am kinda in love with it!! 😉

I love the mix of neutral and bright colors. This collection is huge, and a real bargain! I am totally in love with this page I made!

It came together in no time! This collection makes it really easy to whip up a page, since you don’t have to go looking for anything else, there’s so much variety in it!

I’m Super

September 14, 2012 | cristina

I had so much fun making a page with the new releases at The Lilypad!

This kit is bright and versatile – just what I like! I also loved using these cards by Emily Merritt – I love the design of these so much!

Finally, I know I will be using this chevron pack by Kaye Winiecki over and over!

And here’s my page! The kit inspired me to do an all about me page, so I went with it, and I’m glad I got these thoughts on paper!

Journaling:

OK, I’m not really super.. But I have come to realize more and more in this last year that I am not happy unless I take on many things at once. I always complain about hardly having enough time to do it all, but in truth I would be completely lost and bored if I only did half of what I do ! 🙂

I have another page to share, I will post it later today. 🙂

It’s Here

September 14, 2012 | cristina

Leora Sanford has a new collab with Paislee Press today! I love the style of both these designers, so I was really happy to hear they were working on a kit together! It did not disappoint!

I had my first salted caramel macchiato ever last week, and I loved the instagram picture I took of it, so I thought it would be fun to make a page about it. 🙂

Desperately trying to get to the end of the week.. I have a couple of extremely busy weeks ahead of me, but I am so tired already! I do have quite a few more pages to share, so do stop by soon. 😉

Neon card

September 10, 2012 | cristina

I recently bought some Hero Arts neon yellow ink pad and hadn’t tried it yet, so I used it to make a card. I based it off a sketch by Page Maps. 🙂

It’s a really fun color! I made a cloud by misting a cloud-shaped piece of vellum paper with Mister Huey’s Calico White. I love how it turned out, and I will certainly be misting vellum again!
The stamps I used are from a sold out set by Studio Calico, and the sun is from a Studio Calico mistable element sticker set on which I used the neon ink. I also stamped some letters and a star from the EK Success Image Tree typewriter alphabet. The base for the card is American Crafts white cardstock.

Feels Like Fall

September 8, 2012 | cristina

It most definitely feels like fall around here, so my weekly card for DH is an autumn card. 🙂 I used the gorgeous new collab by Jenn Barrette and Kristin Cronin-Barrow:
