Me-Ology and Want2Scrap!!

I don’t often scrap pics of myself but when I received the new Me-Ology line from Fancy Pants Designs, I knew I wanted to!

I started with a piece of Fancy Pants Designs white corrugated card stock for my background.  Then I took the patterned paper with all the strips and cut them all apart and rearranged them on my background, leaving just a little space between each one.  I printed two of the same pic, one 4×6 and one smaller then mounted them both on the black paper that coordinates with the line.  I was careful with the photo placement to ensure that the one quote would become the layout title.  I added one of the mini file folders(because I am a sucker for office supplies!!) to the right of the photos.  Using a combination of stickers and a pin tin and achipboard Speech Bubble, I added a sub-title for my layout.  I added a white baby clothespin to help keep the folder closed.  This is where I will journal.  I added the Dream Fancy Chipboard Word, colored with my black Wink of Stella pen, to the left of my larger photo.  I randomly chose two of the smaller paper strips and addedChevron bling border all the way across the layout.  After tucking a sticker tab to the lower right hand corner and adding the year with stickers, I finished the layout off by sprinkling a few silver Baby Blingall around.  Here’s a closer view of the embellishments…

I don’t know about you, but it was easier to scrapbook pics of myself that I guess I thought it would be!  I am definitely inspired to do it again!

Quick & Easy cards with Want2Scrap and Fancy Pants Designs

During the month of October, Want2Scrap teamed up with Fancy Pants Designs. I love Fancy Pants and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their products along with Want2Scrap.

Here's a peek at the two cards I made...

I love the added texture of the Corrugated Cardstock background!  And here's a closer view...

Card number two also has a CAS design...

I think using black as the card base really helped make the colors of the patterned paper POP!  Here's the close-up...

Hexagon Thank You

Hexagons are a trendy little shape this year...well, they were last year too. I received the Hexagon Spellbinders dies and couldn't wait to make this card with them.

After creating my card base, I cut the white layer using my Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  Then, I simply cut a dozen or so hexagons from double-sided patterned paper, inked them and adhered them down the left side of card.  A simple stamped thank you finished the card off.  This would be a great card to make multiples of since they come together so quickly.

So, do you love the hexagon trend too?

Getting it done with Overlays from Want2Scrap

I recently shared that one of my goals for 2014 was to get more scrapbooking done. And let me stay it again, it is sooooo easy to do with the help of Want2Scrap's Overlays! Here's a sneak peek of one I am sharing today on the Want2Scrap blog...

Trick or Treat...Overlay from Want2Scrap

I am well on my way, already this year, to completing more layouts that I did last year. And with Overlays from Want2Scrap, it is not only easy but fun! Here is my most recent one...still need to add the pics, but I couldn't wait to share. :D

The Trick or Treat Overlay comes with a white background so I grabbed my Charcoal and Orange Glimmer Mist and created a subtle, misted background. Next, I grabbed some Halloween papers, die cuts and embellishments from my stash and set to work. To finish it off, I added some swirls from Donna Salazar's Build Your Own Bling and sprinkled a few Black Baby Bling Rhinestones around the page. Here's a closer view of the embellies...

So, I am curious...do you have a scrappin' goal each year?

Heartfelt Thanks

I had seen a card similar to this on Pinterest couldn't wait to try it out. I loved that it was clean and simple and I loved the random circles. So I pinned it to my want to make board and I made it. ;)

This card was so very easy to make! I simply created my card base, cut a layer using my Card Creator A2 dies by Spellbinders then cut random circles from that layer. Next, I cut the same size and quantity of circles from some patterned paper and adhered them to the card base. For the sentiment, I stamped then cut it out using a set of JustRite dies that is now retired. I trimmed a little piece and dovetail cut both ends and layered the sentiment on top of it. To finish the card off, I sprinkled some 72 Count Pink Rhinestones all over.

CAS is definitely my style and I love it even more when it turns out like I pictured it in my head. LOL
