I love these shirts! After you get the first one figured out ( which isn’t really hard, especially when you use the Scor-pal) you can whip these out faster than taking the real kind out of the dryer. A quick google on *Hawaiian Shirt Origami* will get you the directions.
The background PP is from a summery Colorbok pad, that I ran through the cuttlebug with the Distressed embossing folder. The shirts were made from a K&Co 4x6 mat pad. The sentiment is cut from the Caligraphy CRICUT cartridge.
This technique has been raging through the ScorPal Pals yahoo group the past couple weeks and I finally got to try my hand at it this weekend. I made one card for my MIL for Mother’s Day and one I’ll use for another occasion at some point.
The card design looks complicated, but is suprisingly easy. My Bazzil CS didn’t holdup well under the folds though. I suspect that was an error on my part. Probably need to scope with the grain or something. I’ll have to explore that.
The Basic Grey PP sure looked great though! 
3 Wishes--It is really hard to settle on only three! Sure, I have lots of *self* wishes....money, security, health, wishes for the kids, grandkids, parent's..lots of them.
But a friend and I were talking recent;y about how at the core of each person, there is a need to be understood and accepted. I think that sums up what everyone really is searching for in this life.

So I tried my hand at handmade flowers tonight. I think they turned out cute for a first try.
How about a close-up?
It’s already time to choose a new recipe to scrap for a Cricut MB swap. Seems like I just finished this one! No worries though, it is such fun designing these.
Gosh, I can’t remember who’s line that cute utensil and green polka dotted paper is from. Anybody know? I got it at B&B Scrapbooks.
This recipe looks complicated, but really isn’t and is quite yummy.
This photo for this page was taken a few weeks ago, on a muddy, rainy weekend. It fit this page perfectly!
I love how this page turned out. It is a pretty straight scraplift from a design I saw in April’s Creating Keepsakes mag.
Isn’t she just adorable? I made several versions of this card. I couldn’t help myself, she’s so doggone cute on all these pink designer papers.
Oh my gosh, I had so much fun creating this page..about as much fun as I had creating the gifts at Christmas time that this page is all about!
I made the girls baking dishes onto which I had glass etched thier last names. They turned out so well and were so easy with some vinyl, and the cricut.
This page was fun for the same reasons. I used one of the calligraphy cart fonts, shadowed, and filled with gold glittery distressed stickles…so sweet!!!!!!!
A limited edition tag cut from graphically speaking, some primas and white paint atop a gorgeous piece of SEI Alpine Forest paper and…voila!
More pretty SEI Mimosa paper, along with some Martha Stewart border rubons and the most AMAZING Maya Road black floral and butterfly rubons. No kidding, these were the smoothest, rub ons I’ve ever used! Love them.
What else..a colorbok CB heart, couple of white pop dots that I inked to match and a Maya Road journaling circle.
Bit of an introspective from a mirror photo set, made for a challenge on Personal Clarity.
For no real reason, aside from having a stack of long gatefold cards that I wanted to use, I went on a baby card making adventure. I think they turned out cute.
Everything used is from my stash too! Bonus!
I love the effect of multi layering with the floral border punch from Martha Stewart.
Isn’t the bold flower and ribbon pull tab great on this one?!
Meet my Grandma and Grandpa and my Mama and Daddy….
4 people who inked themselves upon my life, in so many ways…mostly good…which is what the page commemorates.
SEI Mimosa papers ( full of glitter!), and some other darling embellishments. Title cut with Stone Script cartridge. Check out that sweet crocheted trim I scored for a buck at Big Lots this week! Love a bargain!
Not much blogging been happening for me, but lots of crafting has been happening. Let’s see how long it takes me to get caught up…
The photo was taken a few weeks ago atop Lovers Lane in southeastern Tennessee.
Fun page to create using papers from C’oredinations, and SEI’s new Mimosa line. Storybook and Calligraphy carts used for the title. Maya Road journal block and assorted lil embellies finish it off.
I used clear glitter glue around all the edges of the pale cream floral design I cut from one of the SEI papers to give it a little shimmer to match the shimmery butterflies.
My first time scrapping at the camper was a lot of fun. I made quick and easy word books!
At a Columbus Scrappers crop recently, I won this cute punch that makes mini fruits and veggies. I knew I'd find a use for it in no time flat...and I did!
IN September my bff and I drove to Dayton to attend a workshop by Michelle Zindorf who is absolutely amazing with a brayer and ink.
She made the process seem so very simple and I love the cards we made that day. Here is one that I've since given as a special Thank you to a good friend.
I made the following cards for two different projects. One was a card kit swap for the Cricut Board, and the other was for card kits to donate to the Children's Hospital Resource Center, which is a community service project sponsored by the Columbus Scrapper's Board. The content for both is the same. Make up individual kits, that include all the supplies needed to create a card. For the hospital, parent's, visitors, or even the kids themselves, can take a few minutes, to relax, escape, and create a card, amidst the stress of their medical procedures.
This is a simple card, using generic CS and a strip pp from Paper Studio. I cut the circles using my nestibilities. The cupcake and sentiment are stamps from Hero Arts , stamped with Memories Black Ink and colored with colored pencils and OMS. The ribbon was a dollar bin find at M's.
For this card, I used generic CS, and ran the black piece through the CuttleBug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Sheer black ribbon atop black satin ribbon (from M's) wrap the card, with a Heart and sentiment cut from my Cricut Die Cut machine. I stamped the heart with a Fancy Pants flourish stamp and silver acrylic paint, then added dots with the paint and a stylus around the heart.
I made this card for a sweet young couple's wedding...
Pretty patterned paper from the DCWV wedding mat stack, atop shiny glittery DCWV glitter mat stack. Embossed stamped sentiment atop a scalloped square cut from my Cricut. Add some silvery stickles and tie a sheer silvery ribbon around the base and you have a very pretty card.
Then I needed a card for my In Laws, who were celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary.
More patterned paper from the wedding stack, along with a stamped sentiment and a chipboard flower and bit of bling and it was done!
Our kitty loves scrapping almost as much as I do. She is forever up on my table, rolling around or napping in the middle of all the supplies. Meet Coco, she's a blue eyed Siamese beauty.
I love making recipe cards. Collecting recipes and cookbooks is another passion of mine. Being able to combine that passion with scrapbooking is serendipity to me! For this recipe swap, the recipe is on one side of a 4x6 card, and the other side is scrapped.
I found these darling stuffed tomato embellishments by Martha Stewart and knew they had to come home with me! The PP is from a paper slab, CS is from a mat pack, and the Title is stamped using SU! Old Olive ink and CTMH Clear alpha stamps.
