Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge!!!

Yes its that time again!! Simply Sunday Challenge-Let it Snow / Use Embossing .
I Am also entering this into Jelly Park Challenges - Anything with a pocket 

For this project I got the card idea from Split Coast Stampers which I really enjoy making these cards now! Thanks to whomever came up with that one! :)
Anyways So for the paper I used a piece of BoBunny double sided paper which I fell in love with when I went to this small scrapbook store here <3
Then I Embossed what I like to think is my snowmans snowflack backing.. I embossed it with the swirly pattern, then also heat embossed it with the glittery silver.. Then I put this cute little snowman on top of it.. wrapped some ribbon around the card...
For the Tag insert I just cut a simple shape out and Stamped it with the sentiments from K Andrew Designs stamp set "Winter Wishes"

So for my Day One Pre Hop project :
I will be featuring K Andrew's Stamp set "Food For Thought" this week

For this project I used a simple glittery piece for my bg,

Then I did the mosiac tile from a piece of cupcake paper from DCWV

For that all you do is take and rip your paper into pieces and use your distress ink along the tears and use Mod Podge to layer it until you have your mosiac.

Then I used a Recollections flower and heart brad and tied a ribbon a round the mosiac :)

For the sentiment I used Food For Thought from K Andrew Designs.

These stamps are so versatile that you can get a whole lot of sayings from just one set of her stamps.

Here is a preview of the stamp set I will be using all Week !!

For this week only Kristal is offering free shipping to you!! How cool is that ?!

All you need to do is click on the above preview and order some stamps and at check out use this code:

Faux Leather Wallet

Good Morning All!!! Hope the weekend is treating you good!
For today's project I am going to show you my version of a wallet that I saw lastnight while browsing through ideas over at Splitcoaststampers.com...
I dont have the cuttlebug So i couldnt make the full size one but with a little tweaking and some self motivation I came up with this smaller version of it. Its the first one I have made but I will be making more because they will make awesome gift card holders!!

I started out with a tan piece of card stock and embossed it with the mosiac tile embossing folder..
Then I used some Tim Holtz Destressed ink "Vintage Photo" and after that was try i rubbed my martha stewart embossing stamp pad over it and used the crystal embossing powder  to make it shiny like leather.
Then I made a little tag with my KAndrews stamp set "Fashionable Friends" For my tag after I stampped it I used some Clear Glossy accent on top of it to make it almost like a charm.. Then I added some funky purple Zebra print ribbon that I got at Michaels for a dollar! and a brad to close it and there we have it! :)
I will deffinitly be making more of these they are so fun and easy to make and im going to venture into different colors and patterns i think :)


If you like the stamps you see on my page please stop over at K Andrew Designs and browse through what she has to offer! There are tons of awesome stamps and there are more coming too!! Stop on over!!

Until Next time <3

A Few Layouts :)

Happy friday everyone!! I just stopped in to show you a few layouts I made .. I am trying to get a scrapbook together for my niece and nephew so there is a place where they can look at all of their pictures...

First Is one of my niece when she was a tiny tiny thing...

For this I used paper from the DCWV paper pack then I added some bling to the corner of the sleepy picture with a stamp that says "Sweet Dreams" (The stamps I used are from the K Andrews stamp set Winged Things)

Then I just added a few flowers from the Recollections set and added some liquid pearl in the center for a little extra touch :)

For the next layout..I used pictures that were taken this fall of my niece. She loved playing outside and I wanted a little layout to make since she looked so cute!

For this one I used the Stamp Set from K Andrew Designs "Fall-O-Ween"

The paper I dont remember where it came from but I do belive its DCWV

Then I found cute fall stickers at AcMoore and thought they added a cute little touch do the LO...

To Purchase the stamp sets I used please stop over at KAndrew Designs and look over the sets she has to offer! There are so many to choose from and they are all mix and match! There is also one out right now to pre-order that is REALLY cute! Its a Valentines Day set!
