Scrap Card Monday......

Hello---it seems like ages since we last got together on Scrapguy.  You all have been so kind with you comments and emails.  Thank you!  My recovery is coming along well and I am back to work and back in the scrap room!
I am testing a new idea--Scrap Card Monday!  This would feature cards made from scrap--waste not want not!  So the card base is craft (not a scrap) but all the bits that were added were from other projects.

The pattern paper is from We-R-Memory Makers, the solids are Paper Trey Ink

Stamp is Close to My Heart, and embossing folders are from Provo Craft (top) and SU Sizzex (bottom)

I added a bit on the inside--if I would have had any more scraps of these colors that were usable I would have done the envelope as well.
As the stamp says.....you all do color my world!  I have a couple of project leading up to my weekend on Everyday Cricut.  Since it is Thanksgiving week--I am using that as the theme--then on to the December holidays.  I can't believe this year has just flown by!
Make it a great one-

This week..........

Well I am sorry to say I am going to take this week off.  I will be back with regular programing next week. I had surgery last week and have had a longer recovery than I thought--All is well and moving along nicely but I have not been in my scrap room for days.  I have a wonderful friend who brought me a care package of paper pads from Michael's today (cause they know i was jonesin' for some new paper).  They said it would last longer than flowers.  I did get a beautiful fall arrangement while in the hospital from two dear dear friends that has brought a bit of joy to me all week.

Gift Bucket with canvas tag

Well here is the last project I have to show you from the make and takes from my trip to Archivers.
This one was so cute!

We added a strip of paper to the inside and a paper pinwheel to the top.  On the handle we added three tags

I really loved these canvas tags

You can stamp them, ink them, glimmer mist them, and so much mores--
I bought two packs for later use

Each pack of 4 tags cost about $2.45--I can't wait to use these
Make it a great one

Card using looped ribbon

Hello everyone--to days card from the Archivers make and take is super simple but taught me a technique I did not know before

The tree is embossed and I stamped the sentiment.  The bracket edge is using a Tim Holtz die and the ribbon at the bottom is looped by taking the Tim Holts tiny attacher and placing a staple between each loop.
You all may already have this tool but I think it a must have for any crafter>

It's called a quick stick-one end is sticky the other gives you to have an extra long skinny finger to help attach this titty bitty pcs to your project.  For six bucks I had to have one.
Make it a great one?

Archivers Clear Tag Make and Take

Happy Wednesday---Hope you all are well.  While I was in Kansas City this past weekend--My mother and I went to Achievers for there big make and take weekend.  We used lots of new product (new to us) and had a blast
One project was this great tag using clear acrylic some ribbon and some Coordination's high UV printed paper!

First step was to send this acrylic through the cuttlebug using one of the Tim Holtz folders.  Once that was done--on the debossed side (which will be the back of the tag) take one of the pant dabbers, in this case we used white,  and inked the back.  You want to be sure to hit the holes really to get the best effect possible.  Once you done with that wipe to excess off with a paper towel.  We used a rounded rectangle hole punch to thread the ribbon through.

The trees are just triangles cut from some very cool Coordination's what is white printed with a HIGH UV finish--this allows you to ink and wipe away and still see the amazing effect. I bought some of this dot paper and well as two sheets for snowflakes!  They were a bit expensive (almost 2 bucks a sheet) but well worth it!

Here is what the clear acrylic looks like in the package--it was around 4 bucks bit.  I have so many ideas for this stuff--I can't wait to use it.
Thanks for stopping in a remember to make it a great one.

Simple Thank You Z-fold card

It's Monday and I am home in Dallas--there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed. 
Here is a simple Z fold card I made this weekend--the paper is DCWV Fall stack. 

The sentiment is from the Bountiful Blessings stamp collection from the Pink Cricut (Sarah).  These mocha pearls match the copper printing perfectly!!!!!  A little faux stitching to finish off the outside.

On the inside of the Z fold I placed a cream sheet of paper cut to fit and added another stamp from the same collection and plenty of space to write a message.



Hope you liked this simple card--I will announce the winner of the stamp set from the Thankful blog hop this weekend!  Welcome to all the new followers--I am so looking forward to sharing with you all! 
This week is crazy busy!  I went to Archivers this weekend and did the make and takes and bought way to  much stuff--that I have to share cause I think you all will want some of it! Check back on Tuesday for a super cute treat holder for the holiday season!
Make it a great one
