Too Cute Onsie Album

Hello Everyone, I have been crafting like a made women this week... here is a Onsie Chipboard Album from Want2Scrap©. I made this for my neighbor, her daughter Drina had a little boy so I thought I would make her something special.

The letters on the front are chipboard Chubba Bubba also from Want2Scrap©. The adorable die cut Nested Duck is from Spellbinders®

The ducks are are 72 Count Black Rhinestone Bling, don't they make the perfect eyes?

The sail boats are made out of Nestabilities Classic Circles and Nested Pennants, with the matching Nestabling from Want2Scrap©

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, and Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there tomorrow!

Getting Creative with Cousin!

Hello Everyone, today I am participating in a challenge hop through Designer Connections with Cousin. What is Cousin you ask? Well they are a family owned company who manufacturers slide bracelets, mirror beads, pearls, pendants, charms, Crystazzi and much more.



For my project I used Jewelry Basics Bicast Leather Metal/Acrylic Dragonfly Slide Charms, Pink Crystazzi and Metal Clasps in Silver. I wrapped beading wire around my Blue Bicast Leather adding the Pink Crystazzi as I went.

This project was a quick, simple products to use and took less than 30 minutes to complete, Cousin has a large variety of different components to use when creating a custom piece of jewelry, embellishment or what ever your creativity leads you to create. Thank you for visiting my blog today and have fun creating using Cousin!

Butterfly Circles

Well hello there! Terre here with a fun and flirty card! This card was created using Butterfly Circles May the Wings Stamp set from Quietfire Designs. For my paper line today I chose to use My Mind's Eye "indie chic" paper, the blue satin ribbon is from May Arts, the beautiful bling swirls are from Want2Scrap and the die templates are Le Papillion Two and Floral Ovals from Spellbinders.

I air brushed the die template then stamped my Butterfly Circles May the Wings sentiment, it added just enough pop of color.

DIY Craft ideas – button craft blog hop

 Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog today for the Crafty Ideas Blog Hop!

For my project I chose to use Button Galore's Black, Grey, White mix of buttons, I thought it fit right along with either a wedding card or even an anniversary card. I stamped JustRite Paper Crafts Elegant Damask Background stamp, added a strip of May Arts Ribbon, tied some baker twine through my Black, Grey and White buttons and topped it off with some Want2Scrap Le Creme Baby Pearls.



My sentiment is a hand trimmed piece from Elle's Studio, just perfect for this card don't you think?

March is National Craft month!  March 21st is the first day of Spring and Easter is March 31st so there are lots of opportunities for all kinds of projects.
The theme is: Favorite Craft Techniques, so pretty much anything goes.

To kick off March and National Craft month I decided to create a few decorative bezels with Spellbinders new Media Mixage line of products there are three total, the first one has Graphic 45 paper and some found objects.

The second one has a pin up girl palying card die cut, pearls, crush glass glitter and a Bottle Cap sticker from the Stamp Doctor along with Spellbinders Bezel.

The last one has a Heart Bezel within a Heart Bezel, I used the new texture plate from the Media Mixage line with foil and sanded to distress befor putting it in my bezel. All three bezels have been filled with Ice Resin!

The Buttons Galore challenge hop will start Saturday, March 9th.  Anyone who is not participating will be unlinked until Sunday, March 17th.

 Since it's National Craft Month, there'll be a DCC Giveaway - a collection of product from FabScraps.  I've attached a photo so you can see what is included and if you'd like to include this YouTube link, I shared these products as a Trade Show find on TV.  http://youtu.be/-OZjx6Yhmg0     The video is still loading as of 1:15 CST, so you may need to wait a couple of hours.  I'll be away from home this afternoon, so I won't be able to check that it uploaded ok until late tonight (if I remember).

To enter to win, readers have to check out DCC blogs then comment on the blog that features their favorite crafting technique then tell me what it was on my blog, Life in the Craft Lane.  Don't forget to "like" their FB page here:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/FabScraps/112579348780638?ref=ts&fref=ts
