#8 (Video) Gamer's Layout

CLICK HERE for the Crafty Sprouts Blog Hop

Hi everyone I hope you are having a great Saturday so far! Here's how I spent my Friday night last night I made a scrapbook layout of my gorgeous hubby and my beautiful son. For those of you who don't know my hubby is currently on deployment right now until 2 weeks before I give birth in April! We miss him dearly, he is in a safe place actually here in the states, but still he is away from us and not at home it sucks!!!!

For my new year's resolution this year I promised myself to make more layouts and use up some of my crafty supplies and enter in more challenges, who knows hopefully I can win a prize (keeping my fingers crossed lol!).

This page was made to add to my 2010 album here's a pic I took of my son and my hubby playing a PS3 game, scrapbooking is my addiction and gaming is my hubby's addiction lol! All of the patterned papers I used are from the Generation Tech stack from DCWV along with the embellishment at the bottom.  The font is from the Feeling Groovy Cricut LITE cart, controller is from the Father's Day Cricut cart, and the marquee shape is from Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge. Below you can see I added black buttons and some blue metallic clearance Christmas ribbon that I got over a year ago! I love it when I can use Christmas supplies for non-Christmas projects!

I am entering in a few challenges below:

#227 El Cucuy Blog Hop -Scary Treat Box

Hi everyone!!! Welcome to El Cucuy AKA Boogie man Blog Hop, hosted by Celeste  and Yolie! If you are here from Ruthie September Ninth then you are in the right spot! I was so happy and excited to be a part of this fun hop, I guess it brings back spooky memories of my childhood when my mom and grandma would threaten me and say the cucuy is coming to get me if I don't behave! Well guess what now we tell our 4 year old son that.... I know you probably think it's child abuse by telling them that but it works! When I catch my son stepping foot in my  scrapbook room, I say "Uh-oh Cucuy!" and he will literally run out of there and leave my stuff alone. I tell him this because I have caught him drawing on my layouts that take me 3 hours to create, or grabbing my scissors, or grabbing my inks ugh!!! Sometimes 4 year olds have a mind of their own!

 For my Cucuy monster I decided to make him a scary Jack-O-Lantern, I cut the pumpkin from the October 31st seasonal cartridge... I LOVE that cart BTW!!!! The treat box is from the Spring Holiday Cards Seasonal Cricut cartridge. I am going to have a pumpkin carving party at my house next week and I am making an assortment of treat boxes to give out to my guests and I made this one for one of the guys, I guess my hubby approved because he loved this one! (my son not so much, I think he was spooked by the scary pumpkin!) This stamp is from Crafty Sprouts "Totally Witchn" stamp set and I also added a little green slime with my MS Drippy- Goo punch!

BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!!! I am giving away ONE Crafty Sprouts "Let's Go Blog Hopping"  stamp set to ONE lucky follower who leaves me a comment below and also on my POST #212, I will announce a random winner this Monday Oct. 24th!!

#157 Scrappy Moms Sneak Peek 3, Uncle Sam Layout

Uncle Sam and PKS!!

Scrappy Moms Yankee Doodle Dandy New Release

Hi everyone!! I am so excited to show you all my layout, I originally made it for the Red, white and blue blog hop that I'm in this Thursday 6/23 but I thought it was so cute and I couldn't wait till Thursday lol! I am entering my layout in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge which is to use PKS faces and with a Patriotic theme, the face I used was the Everyday Paper Doll Assortment, I only used the eyes and nose.

 The Uncle Sam cut is from the Billionaire LITE cart, which I cut several times to do the layering. The cluster of stars are from the Cupcake Wrappers LITE cart, the title and Liberty bell are from the Independence Day 2010 Seasonal cart. All of the loose stars that were from the star cluster I added them to Uncle Sam's hat, and also added to the bell. The sentiment on the bell is from Scrappy Moms Stamps Yankee Doodle Dandy from their new releases, I also made my own little scroll embellishment using Kraft paper, distress ink and stamped the stars with the Yankee Doole Dandy stamp set also! I added pop dots under the mustache and the star on the bell. This was us on 4th of July last Summer it, was too hot to wear makeup that day lol! 

I am a Guest Designer for Scrappy Moms Stamps this month, feel free to scroll down my previous posts to see my other sneak peek!! Have a fun day today! I will announce the Cupcake Birthday hop winner later today.

#84 Wall hanger

Hi everyone! As you know I have been trying really hard to make things other cards, so I thought it would be fun to start making decor for my scrapbook room. Here is an Altered Canvas that I created, I bought a blank 8x10 canvas from M's. All of the papers are from K&Co and the birdcage is from the April Showers Seasonal Cart. I stamped the sentiment and butterfly with a Tim Holtz stamp. I also added pearls, ribbon, twine, stickles and a pink flower that I made a few days ago. You can view my tutorial HERE.

#72 St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop

I am so excited to be in this St.  Patrick's Day blog hop I think St. Patrick's Day is so much fun I guess I like it because of all of the green and rainbows I see everywhere!

Envelope with Card

For my project I decided to make a card and matching envelope from the Spring Holiday Cards Seasonal cartridge, sadly I've had this cart for awhile and haven't had the chance to use it because I was too lazy to update my Gypsy lol! For this card I placed a few different colors of cardstock under the image, added stickles to the foamy part of the beer and also cut the clover from that cart. I placed the clover upside down in my Xyron sticker machine and poured my favorited MS glitter all over it for a fun glittery mess lol! I then placed a pop dot under the clover.

BLOG CANDY! In honor of reaching over 1000+ followers I am giving away a Groovy Times cartridge to one lucky follower just make sure you leave me a comment on ------HERE<-------- I will randomly select a winner on April 1st.

#51 Sensational Scenes Blog Hop

Hello everyone welcome to the Sensational Scenes Blog Hop hosted by Christina from http://cardcreationsbyc.blogspot.com/  if you are here from Mel's blog http://scrappymel.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right spot. For this hop Christina asked us to create a Scene themed card. I was super excited to make one since I never make scenery type of cards. I was inspired to make this card based on a recent trip to California Adventure (California Adventure is a Disney theme park).

First I stamped the entire background with polka dot stamps to make it look light I used blue chalk ink. The carousel and palm tree are from the Summer Vacation Seasonal cart, the roller coaster is from Carousel LITE cart, the people are from Going Places and Mickey and Mickey hats are from the Mickey & Friends cart. I placed pop dots under the tree and the people and stamped the sentiment with Pink By Design.

Here is a night time picture of  my inspiration:

I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for hopping with us today! Thank you to Christina for letting me join you on your hop!
