Happy Planner Mess up

Hey guys I'm back!! I was trying to be productive and decorate the monthly spread in my Happy Planner... Oh man! Let me tell you, I goofed so bad! It looked awful. 

Look at how bad I smeared everything. I stamp all the time and have no idea why all the sudden On this layout I messed up so bad. Then I was trying to figure out ways to fix it. I remember that I had some Avery sticker sheets so I went ahead and measured all those monthly boxes and cut sticker sheets to cover everything. 

I took some time to decide what I wanted to do with the spread, I decided that I wanted it simple but functional. So I started re stamping on the sticker paper and it looks so much better. I am so happy with how it looks now. Take a peek... 

Thanks for stopping by today! I will once again be back soon!! I have some wonderful news to share with all of you!!

Do It dashboard for the Happy Planner

Hey guys!

I know I have been away for a bit, my whole family was super sick and then I decided to join them. I have been out of bed for 2 days only and am starting to feel like a person. The first thing I did when I got up was sit at the craft table. I have had plenty of time to think of things I want to make. Anywho... Let's get down to my project!!!

I got out all my items that I wanted and literally sat for about 15 minutes thinking how I was going to make my Dashboard. I knew I wanted to make one but I didn't want it to be like everyone else's. I took things that I need/want to do everyday and added them to my list.

I chose the fonts I wanted to use and that I wanted a coffee theme and starting making light pencil marks on my watercolor paper. I made marks from the top and where I wanted my header to go and then made lines where I wanted my boxes and tasks to go. From there I started stamping my little hearts desire and I bring you to my Dashboard before the color...

I love how it turned out!! Since I did it on Watercolor paper I knew I wanted too use my watercolor palette. I have only ever used once before. I grabbed a cup of water and my water brush and got to work. 

This is my finished project and I am in love with it!! I am going to go have it laminated and then I will be able to use it week after week. I will be punching it to fit into my happy planner. 

All of the stamps that I used for this project can be found at www.sweetstampshop.com

Sunflower Birthday Card

Hey everyone!! 

We are getting over some nasty colds and bronchitis in our house, so back to crafting :) YAY!! 

My mother in law always tells me all these kind of cards she would like and I make them for her. She is obsessed with flowers. We were looking around the Internet when she came to help and found a few she liked. I will be sharing one today and the others in coming days. 

I have decided that I need to make many more things with the stamps I already have :). So here is the first card that I made her using Lawn Fawn's Friendship Grows. 

I just love the colors and the way it came out. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color it and found some brown twine to add to the bottom. I'll be back to show you the rest! 

Have a great weekend!

Coffee Card

Hello all!! 

I have been so tired every morning that I feel like I need more than 1 cup of coffee. I'm not sure what it is but it's definitely kicking my butt! 

I was sitting at the table yesterday while drinking my 2nd cup of coffee and had an idea for a car. I think this card came out perfect and I just Love it!! 

I used Sweet Stamp Shops cuppa coffee set, alphabet set and some sequins I had laying around. I really like the bright colors. 

I will be working on how to add the thumbnails to the bottom of my posts so you can use them as quick links for the supplies I used. I think it's a wonderful idea. I will be more creative today for a bit and will share what I make tomorrow! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawnscaping Challenge #124

Hey guys!! 

I am loving all the challenges. It is really getting my creative juices flowing. I was looking through my stash and realized I don't have any good masculine cards. My goal this year is to make more masculine and boyish cards. 

I am entering todays card into the Lawnscaping Challenge #124. If you would like to go to the post to participate then please click HERE!!

My project today I used Party Animals Stamp and Die Set. I just love that this set can be used for so many things. 

Im really loving the colors of this card and the simplicity. I have already started a few more with another animal and different color. I will share it when it is finished. 

I just got my hands on some of the new Lawn Fawn Stamps released at CHA and I am so excited to craft today and make something new. 

I will be back very soon! Thanks for taking a look :)

Artsy Fartsy Birthday

Hey guys! I'm back again!! 

I am really trying to do this more and I'm loving the crafting. I have many many Sweet Stamp Shop stamps and some I have never used. I looked through my stash and decided to start making some cards with the sets I have. 

This card is made with the Artsy Fartsy stamp set. This set is actually retired but it may just eventually come back. 

You can do so many different things with this set. I am building my birthday card library since I don't have much. 

Here is the cute little card I made with this set...

I added some sequins to add to it and it came out wonderful! If you have never seen these stamps head on over to www.sweetstampshop.com and order you some! They are the best!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I will be back tomorrow with a new card for the Lawnscaping Challenge.

Lawn Fawn I Love You Card

Hello All......

It has been some years since I have posted anything on here. My babies are 3 and 4 now and letting me craft more. I am very excited to get back into making cards and paper crafts. It has been way too long. Since I had my first son in January 2012 I have been Crocheting tons and then had a second son in April 2013. It has been a wild ride but I would not change it for anything. I just love it. Ok, so enough about that... Lets talk a little bit about my card that I made, 1st card out of the gates and I am so proud of it. 

I have to tell you that I just discovered all these new supplies in card making and I am in Love. I LOVE Lawn Fawn Stamps!!! They are my absolute favorite. Then I have my Sweet Stamp Shop stamps that I am loving using in my planner and just recently started making cards with them. Im very new to Spectrum Noir Markers and I think they are great! I decided I wanted to make my Husband a Valentines Card this year since it has been so long. 

I went ahead and entered this card into the Lawnscaping Challenge #123 :)

So I made an A2 sized card with the Sweet Smiles Stamp and Die set from Lawn Fawn. I decided the whole thing needed to be pink, red and white. It turned out a lot better than I expected. 

I also used the Milo's ABC's set from Lawn Fawn for the I Love You Sentiment. 

I am so glad to be back at the crafting table again and I will be posting a lot more :) Please let me know if there is anything you would like to see and I would love to show you. 

Thanks for stopping by... Come back real soon!
