Hello strangers!

Hello my fellow paper crafters.  I'm back and it has been WAY to long.  My work travel has taken me all over the US and out of the country most of the last month and I have missed crafting and sharing with you all.  So starting Monday I will have a daily post next week and then we will get back to the three post a week schedule!  There will also be blog candy every day next week!  exciting right!  

Thanks for sticking around and spread the work that the ScrapGuy is back in action!

What do you do when life throws you scraps?

You make a card--LOL.  The sentiment is from PBD and the card was made using scraps--how perfect!

Here is a close up!

A little edge inking and you are set--

Limited Edition

Wow--what a week already and it is only Wednesday!  I am gearing up for four weeks on the road and there never seems to be enough time.
Today I have a card for you that I simply love

I love the bright colors, a layered flower, cuttlebug, and a chambray ruffle.  Simply, easy, but the wow factor is there (or so I think)
Make it a great one-

Butterflies.........

It's Monday and I hope you all had a special holiday weekend.  I was lucky enough to get a bit of crafting--it's about time right!
Well the title is not because I nervous but rather the exact opposite.  A dear friend of mine recently celebrated here one year anniversary of breast cancer and I wanted to make something for her as she is one of my biggest fans when it comes to my cards--think I make all of her cards now.
She LOVES butterflies so when I got this from SEI it was like fate had stepped in!

It's a butterfly mobile.  The only place I had to hang it to work on it was my light fixture.  There is about 150 butterflies in total and took a good bit of time to make--I am much better when it is paper glue and sparkles than I am in these 3D art projects.

So I am going to try and hang it before she gets to the office on Monday!
I do have some layouts and cards to share as well.  We are back on track with normal posts (even through my work travel is still crazy--I have worked ahead!)
Make sure to leave those comments for your max number of chances to win this weeks CTMH blog candy stamp set.

What's up Peeps!

Hey my peeps--what's going on.  I am so sorry my job had taken over ever minute of my life the last few weeks but I was needing a crafting fix so I made a card this evening when I got home well after the Voice was on and over (a bit bitter about this).

So this fun Easter card is actually a thank you card--I know I know--long story I will get to shortly.
I did a four mat stack with the turq solid embossed with the cuttlebug and the top white is where I stamped. The middle bunny I added glitter using my xyron technique I always talk about.

Here is a close up of the layers--I love taking two colors and using them to really pop--simple but packs a punch.

So here is the stamped images--all from CTMH and the same stamp set.  I did a little three 3D here in a new sort of way.  No pop dots!  I know crazy--but I did use one of my must haves from the new CTMH catalogue called Adhesive Springs (Z1725)

So here is a side view--the springs are about a 3/4" long and 3/4" round--I have so many ideas for these--I think I have purchased like 50 sets--hoarder much!

I added a few scraps to the inside to pull it all together.  Before I forget let me tell you about the envelope.

I simply love this egg stamp and had to use it so I added it to the envelope--yet one more way to tie it all  together.
Products used:
Daisy White Card Stock from CTMH
Lagoon Card stock and ink from CTMH
My Peeps Stamp Set (B1402 $9.95) from CTMH
Adhesive Springs (Z1725  $2.95 set of 6) from CTMH
Pattern Paper from Lilybee Designs Buttercup collection (love love love this collection)

OK on to the long story.  Well the other day a co-worker gave my staff chocolate bunnies (an who does not love a chocolate bunny) well there was not one on my desk so I jokingly was like why did I not get one.  The next day I got a big bunny on my desk--I thought it was funny but did not know who had done it.  Well I had a business trip to Little Rock and Friday morning I got a text with the below-

My response to the image was "somebunny's got jokes!!!"  I laughed about this for a good 20 minutes!

Alright enough for today--there is more to come this week and after the holiday we should be back on track!
Make it a great one-

Smartie pants!!

Hello I know I said I was back--and that also means back to work in the office which has been CRAZY this week!
Here is a fun little treat bag I made for a smatie who got all A's in school!  I used PBD Candygrams set and the Cricut Graduation Cartridge.

I am in Little Rock till Friday afternoon on a customer visit so I will post again on Saturday a few fun things I have picked up over the past few weeks--I have gotten a crafty package everyday this week!
Next week will also be Five days of give aways!  A different CTMH stamp set every day!!!
Make it a great one-
