Thank you for joining this amazing blog hop with so many talented designers, today I have a wall hanging to share with you. I fell in love this stamp set from JustRite Stampers, Greetings From Paris, 

It went so nicely with the Nestaboard Classic Diamonds, Nestabling™ Classic Diamonds Silver Rhinestones put these two together with the Spellbinders™ S4-283 Classic Diamonds Nestabilities, it is a match made in Heaven! 

I added 72 Count Black Rhinestones to the border and around my stamped image, as well as the centers of my buttons. It just added that finished touch to my wall hanging.

I took some vintage material and tulle and die cut S4-312 Blossom Three, folded them then stitched them by hand to create this flower. What's a flower with out some leaves, I just love this S4-328 Foliage die template, it has the most amazing embossed details and is easy to stencil through as well. I think one of my favorite die templates is S4-190 Labels Four, JustRite stamps fit this die template just perfect, after all that's how they created them.  Make sure to visit each of the designers listed for today and come back all week for more amazing creations.

Game On!

Game On!! It's Friday and a long weekend so it is a perfect time to spend quality time with your family. When I saw these adorable stamps S-119 County Fair, I-988 Popcorn and I-982 Bingo from The Rubber Cafe  


I new I had to create a fun filled family night of games.

While I was cutting these cute sheep and chickens out to make the pieces for the Tic, Tac, Toe board I remembered a cute song that my oldest daughter Dominica sang when she was 4 years old, she is now almost 26 years old so I thought I would teach it to my 3 year old daughter, Leahandra...it goes like this.

I had a little chicky and he wouldn't lay an egg

so I poured hot water up and down his legs

little chicky pleaded and the little chicky begged

 poor little chicky laid a hard boiled egg!

Here is a close up of these adorable little animals. I used red, white and black card stock, cut 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares and machine stitched them to the base of my white card stock.

I then took the bingo stamp and created Bingo cards, I know what you are thinking, all the cards are the same and yes that is true but in my family we have 4 different containers and who ever is calling out the Bingo numbers calls out one number at a time from each of the container Red, Blue, Green and Yellow and we use buttons to cover our cards.


 I also created a cute little band for the microwave popcorn, after all isn't the Popcorn stamp is just so cute!

Well I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend and maybe you too will find some time for a family game night, you could create your own Tic-Tac-Toe board just like I have. Crafty Smiles, Terre

Tag You're It!

Tag You're It!! I love making hand made gift tags and today I have a few pocket gift tags to share with you. I created these adorable pocket gift tags using Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker collection of papers, Beatrice, We Are Family and Summer. I hand cut several small pieces from each collection to create the tags. The We Are Family tag used the amazing Nestabling™ Beaded Square Black Rhinestones, Nestabling™ Beaded Square White Pearl and the Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts White Pearl from Want2Scrap™

The tag inserts are approximately 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and they fit nicely inside the pocket as seen above.

For this pocket tag and insert, I used the Beatrice collection from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker I hand trimmed all the little pieces and adhered them with Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry™ and foam squares. I added 72 Count Hot Pink Pearls, 72 Count Hot Pink Rhinestones and Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Pink Rhinestones from

Want2Scrap™

The last pocket tag and insert was created using the Summer Collection from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker, this cute Summer tag has Nestabling™ Beaded Square Silver Rhinestone and 72 Count Baby Blue Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™

Thank you for stopping by my blog post and I hope you are having a fantastic week so far, Crafty Smiles,

Through the Window

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I have a fun, full of color kind of card. The challenge this week was to use the new S-120 Through the Window stamp set from The Rubber Cafe. I had so much fun with this set, I stamped the window stamp then cut out the panes, stamped B-241 Trailing Hearts using the fading technique and vineyard berry ink.

I die cut S4-137 Classic Scalloped Hearts from Spellbinders and added Nestabling Scalloped Hearts to the die cut.

I just love the sentiments for the new Through the Window stamp sets, I stamped the sentiment using black ink and then die cut it out using S4-290 Labels Fourteen from Spellbinders. Top top my card off and add a little dimension, I used gold foil card stock and I2-1009 Flourish Impressabilities, sanded the foil paper and began to layer my card using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry to adhere the layers together. I finished the card off with buttons, ribbon and some 2010 Black Rhinestone Flourishes from want2Scrap.  So the question is.... what did I see Through the Window? My heart! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Crafty Smiles.....Terre

I Love This Girl

Today I have this adorable layout to share with you featuring the owner of Scrap-mart, Howard Doss and his little girl. When I saw the pictures I just knew I had to use the Nestabling™Scalloped Hearts Red Rhinestones by Want2Scrap™.

I die cut using Spellbinders™ S4-137 Classic Scalloped Hearts and then placed my Nestabling™Scalloped Hearts Red Rhinestones by Want2Scrap™., it is so fast an easy when you have the right combination of products.

 The great thing about the Nestabling™ is you don't have to use it on a die cut, you can just place them where ever your creative mind tells you to...see just like I did on the title of my page.

You can also use the smaller ones and place them on the larger die cuts to make them pop and add detail.

 To add a little more dimension to my layout I chose to do a zig-zag machine stitch around the outer edge and to draw your eyes to that stitching I added 72 count Black Rhinestones in three's to a couple of the corners.

I die cut S4-235 Fancy Tags out using My Minds Eye pattern paper, cut the tag in half and placed them under the hearts so they are just peaking out. To adhere these amazing blinged up pieces I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry, it dries fast and cleans up nicely. Thank you for stopping by, crafty smiles, Terre.

Hey Cupcake, It's Your Birthday!

 

Hey Cupcake.......happy Friday! Today i have a cute girly girl birthday banner to share with you, I used the S-102 Hey Cupcake stamps set and the J-1095 Fabulous Phrases stamps set from The Rubber Cafe.

Banner number one...stamped the Happy Birthday then cut it out using the S4-116 Standard Circles Small die templates from Spellbinders, air brushed some pink color and glued on some white crepe paper for trimmings.

Banner number two, has that adorable cupcake stamp which I colored with Copic Markers, I die cut the S5-028 Nested Pennants and S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants out of the Little Girl Collection from Echo Park, I also die cut the Nested Pennants out of card board to add some dimension. I added a Fancy Tags Two Nestabling White Pearls from Want2Scrap and layered my cupcake in the middle...so cute! Once you have all your pieces cute, adhere them together using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry.

These banners are so quick and easy if you have the right tools and stamps

I hope you have enjoyed this banner creation and hope you try one for yourself, stay tuned this week for more creative goodness from the rest of the amazing design team members. Have a wonderful weekend. Crafty Smiles, Terre

For my creative project I chose a few of my favorites, these are my favorites because of the colors. For my Graphic 45 paper collection I chose Le Cirque, I love to distress my paper and sand the edges, the add ink. Using Want2Scrap's new Nestaboard that matches the Nestabling made this project so easy, I die cut Spellbinders S4-319 Lattice Rectangles using my pattern paper, adhered it with Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry to the Nestaboard Lattice Rectangles by Want2Scrap, then comes the bling pop.........Nestabling Lattice Rectangles Black and Silver Rhinestones ...check out all that amazing BLING!!!!!

I just love how the can-can flows on the picture so I thought I would capture that look using the Le Cirque pattern paper, added some tulle for texture and the wonderful Metal Flower Staples from Graphic 45, I twisted and turned to shape the metal flowers and then I added a 72 Count Black Rhinestone Bling from Want2Scrap. I cut 3 little postage stamp pictures and attached them to decorative straight pins, added the black centers of the Nestabling Lattice Rectangles Black and Silver Rhinestones to each of the postage stamps, they fit perfectly. Added the S4-328 Foliage die cut from green color core card stock from Core' dinations, sanded and adhered behind the hand made can-can.

Here is a close-up of how amazing the two companies products go together, it sure made this project So....Easy!
