Another look at whats to come on Saturday, June 9th at Scrapbook101!

This card was super easy to make, a bit of silver, white and black paper help to keep this perfect for the man in your life while the robot helps keep it "geared" towards the kids as well!  Stop by Scrapbook101 on Saturday, June 9th to make this!



June Make n Take for Scrapbook101

I will be having another Make n Take at Scrapbook101 on Saturday, June 9th.  Hope to see you there!

Isn't this just the cutest card ever?  My inspiration came from my Great Dane/Boxer named Charleston.  When we first got him he, I didn't know that he thought anything in the yard was his chew toy!  With it being springtime I had decided to plant some flowers, the next day I came home to see him running all around the yard as happy as he could be with my flowers hanging from his mouth! 

To make this card I used the cottage cutz die, some adorable decorative paper, a bit of scrap to make the "collar border" and some homemade flower fluff. 



Industrial Tag

Today we are celebrating my sons birthday, he is all into legos so look later on in the week for pics!  In the meantime let me show you another tag that I made form the Tim Holtz book.  This would be perfect for the man in your life.  Remember fathers day is just around the corner!

It is not photographing well, but it says Metal, the "L" doesn't want to show up in the pic.  I made this by adding some screen repair tape to the tag, and covered it with squares of metal foil tape then just added a bit of distress here and there.  I also covered it with paint, let it sit a bit then wiped off to get the black look.  Hope you like it.  FYI tags, and metal is a hint towards the next make and tag!!

Graduation Celebration

Graduation is beginning, stop in to Scrapbook101 for my make n take tomorrow.  Will be there bright and early at 10:00 hope to see you there!



up up in the air

Here is another card that we will be creating tomorrow at scrapbook101.  Hope to see you there

Here is an update on my homemade laundry detergent.  I made this soap back in February and just finished the last load with it.  For under $20.00 I think it was a good plan.  I could of made it last longer but I did a few big loads that I did three scoops instead.  I think I'm a fan of this and plan on making it again.

Garden Creation

I just had to share with you my creation that I made.  While searching www.pinterest.com I came across some amazing concrete busts that had flowers for hair.  They were beautiful but way out of my price range so I looked to my local craft store and found a styrofoam head.  After my wonderful hubby helped to hollow it out, and my amazing mom helped pick out the perfect hair, I went to work. To get the "stone" look, all I did was purchase the stone spray paint, filled it with potting soil and added the flowers, now all I have to do is add some moss on her to age her a bit and I think she is good to go!  The head was ~3.00 due to a coupon, the paint was ~5.00 and the flowers were under 10.00. 

Vintage Travel

Here is another card that we will be doing at the Make n Take at Scrapbook101 on Saturday, May 26th.  I have not stamped a saying yet in the middle, but I just had to show you how it turned out.  I love the vintage feel that this card has and it is not frilly so it would be perfect for that special guy in your life.... remember Father's Day is coming up!
