Try it Tuesday!!!

Hi everyone~ I thought today we would try a banner or two with Jenni {Bowlin} that is!!!  This banner was made out of the insert that comes with the bingo cards.  The mini bingo cards were perfect to make a "little" banner out of for a "little " guy!!!

Here is another one.  This one is using the numbers from a large bingo card.  The perfect size needed for this project.  The paper I used is Play Date by Jenni Bowlin. I added buttons, primas some doo-dads and there you have it.  I hope will make abanner and remember this Friday is the drawing for the Primas~so leave a comment or become a follower and your names goes in.  If I hear from you everyday, your name will go in that many times!! Have a good one and thanks for stopping in!!!

Craft Crossing Class ~ Penci

I <3 my little frame with the beautiful {Tim Holtz} grunge roses!!!!  This was a class at Craft Crossing a couple of weeks ago.  The fabulous Penci taught us these cool techniques by Tim Holtz!!!  We also learned about alcohol inks and what do with them ~ very fun!!!

We made these tags using Tim Holtz butterfly and of course Craft Crossing has a bunch of Tim Holtz products!!!! They do fly off the shelf ~ so don't put it off, go see Pam at Craft Crossing and sign up for Penci's class in October!!! It is going to scare you to death!!!

Thanks for stopping in today and remember leave a comment or become a follower and your name goes in for some Primas flowers!!! Make sure I can contact you.  I will announce the winner this Friday!!!

Try it Tuesday!!!

Good morning!! Try it Tuesday is here.  I loved this pattern paper by Prima but I only had one sheet to play with.  I wanted to hand cut my embellishments out, so in order to do that I cut the middle out of the flower pattern paper.  That is were I got the flowers to cut out.  I added some leaves and pop dotted the flowers. So many times the pattern paper has wonderful embellishments to add to your layout!!!  I hope you will try hand cutting your embellishments out of the pattern paper - even if you have to steal them!!  Have a great day ~ see ya soon!!

Basic Grey/Olivia

I thought this paper pack was perfect for these cute pictures!!!  The colors in Basic Grey's Olivia just screamed me,me, me!!!! Oh how I love it when the paper matches the photos~this is a good example of that.  I used the Fiskars border punches and layered strips under the photos. A favorite technique of mine.

This one is a quick one. I cut out the  scalloped circle die cut shape by tracing a pattern I had on the Olivia paper.  I love these pictures!!!  Everyone having a fun time!!!  Thanks for stopping by and  be "crafty" tomorrow!!!

Black n' white or color

Same photos scrapped two different ways~one of my favorite things to do!!! The pattern paper I used is by The paper Loft. I added some Tim Holtz fun stuff and of course Jenni Bowlin!!

The paper on this one is by Prima!!! The colors on this really make the photo's stand out.  Try printing a set of picture in black and white and then a set in color and scrapbook both sets.  Very fun!!!!
