Christmas Banner/Simon Says Challenge

Well I think I bit off a little more than I could chew on this project! I saw the Monday Simon Says challenge(not until Friday) and had this great idea. The problem was that it needed to be done and posted by Sunday for the challenge! The challenge is holiday countdown. See it here.www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge
I just got the new Close To My Heart stamp Magical Holiday and decided this would be perfect. Every tag has a number and the middle ones also say Merry Christmas. You could hang one up everyday in December until Christmas, but I have decided that I put to much work into it to not have it up all month! I had a hard time getting pictures because I have spent so much time on this that it is now dark! LOL Below are some more pictures and I am making a list of supplies at the bottom. Boy you should have seen the mess I had in my scraproom! Thanks for stopping by.

Close To MY Heart Supplies
Mistletoe paper, Ribbon Rounds Rick Rack & Chocolate, Badge Buttons, Button Brads, Clear Inspirations ribbon Slides, and the following stamps: Magical Day,Universal Backgrounds,St Nick,All The Best.
Other Supplies
Gingerbread buttons from stash,Tags from stash, Mary Englebrit stickers,Maya Road Twine, and string plus clothes pins from Recollections.I also used my Artbooking cartridge for the letters and some bling from my stash. I got to use a bunch of things I have had around for awhile so that makes me happy but I do not remember where they all are from.

Cricut card free cut #3

I used CTMH Frosted paper for this card. This was another free cut on Cricut Craft Room. Everyday they are posting a new one. I hope all your shopping is going well. As for me, I made a quick stop this morning and did a bunch online and now I am free to scrap and clean house. YEAH! Which one should I do first? Well I know which one I should do but which do I want to do!  Ha Ha Scrap Happy Brenda

Another Christmas Cricut Craft room card

This is another card I made with one of the Cricut Craftroom free cuts. It is my favorite one. I used some   Close To My Heart paper called Believe which has the cool a diagonal design which shows thru the cut out. Thanks for stopping by and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Brenda

Quick Zoo pages

I made these pages with a paper and sticker package that I bought some time ago. I think it was at Hobby Lobby, but there is no name on the paper? I made an 8x8 for my dad,s album and one for me. Thanks for stopping by. Scrap Happy.

Scrap Book Room

 Before Photos and of the ceiling painted. Are you getting sick of my craft room pictures? Sorry, I just am so happy to have my new room that I can not help but brag!

Now some after pictures.

We have the paneling up in this picture.

Cricuts first spot.

New spot.

The shelf that I got from my childhood room at my dad's. That proved to be a problem since it was larger than the bedroom doorway. We had to cut a little off from the bottom.

And now it is starting to look like my craft room! All messy and lived in. I really like the new sign I have on the wall that says "Do small things with great love"

This picture is out of order, but it was taken before the second shelf behind the table was put in.

Cricut Craft room Cards

I have been playing with the online Cricut Craft Room and every day this month there is a different free card you can cut. Here are cards from two different days. I used some very old CTMH paper for the Joy card. ( Creative Basics-Holiday. For the Peace card I used Creative Basics-Mistletoe and the St Nick stamp.It has been kind of fun to look and see what the card is every day. Thanks for stopping by!

Izzy's bed in scrap room

Izzy has been visiting me in my new scraproom so I made her a spot with some blankets. She likes to lay under the table so she does not get stepped on. well even Izzy's spot got an upgrade. I decide to make her spot more permanent in my room and she got a new bed! I am still working on getting everything where I want it but she is pretty happy with her space.

 This is also Krista's side of the table. She has some drawer under the table and some room on the shelves on that side. She has been in organizing her space also.

Scrap Book Room Closet

Okay this is what my closet looked like before I painted and took down the wall paper. I decide to keep the metal doors and just paint them. That way I could use them to put up magnetic decorations and storage.

I have now just painted the inside of the closet. The old book shelf will stay inside like this to separate the things that are not scrapbooking but must stay in there and also to give me some more shelves to put things on. Making progress.

The bottom rectangles are painted with chalkboard paint so we can write on them. I replaced the knobs with some fun pink clear pink ones I got in the dollar bin at Micheal's for 1/2 price. Another steal!

Simon Says challenge- Use ink

So this challenge was a fun one for me. Ink and stamps are my thing. I used some CTMH paper called Cruising. I also used some CTMH rub-ons. The stamp is by Tim Holtz ( Regal Flourish). And I was lucky enough to win this at a crop!I also used a Tim Holz embossing folder, and some CTMH washi tape.Here is the link to the Monday challenge if you would like to check out the other projects.www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge Thanks for stopping by. Monday I will have more scrap room pictures. Scrap Happy!

CTMH Stamp totes

This is my new place to store my stamps. I like it first because we were lucky enough to get the totes free. I then spray painted them. Secondly, I like the fact that they do not take up a lot of space. I am working on labeling each tote. The only thing that I do not like is that I have to take them apart to get the stamps out. They are not quite tall enough to reach inside and pull the stamps out with out taking the apart. Ijust need to give my Honey a big THANK YOU for getting the toes for me. You can also see my cabinet in this picture that was in the living room before I moved to my room. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Krista

I used both art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges for this sign.It is going to go on Krista's locker. I have a secret helper who is going to put it on for me. The paper is Rob's dollar store deal. the twine is Maya Road, and I added some Hobby Lobby bling.I also used the CTMH stamp You Are My Happy.  I am hopping she is surprised. I am also hoping that it gets to school in one piece. Thanks for stopping by. Scrap Happy!

I made this card for the Freshly Made sketch 111. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the background. The washi tape is by Queen & Co. Lastly the stamp is CTMH, Sweet Music. See all the projects here!freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

My second card was for Merry Monday alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.com I used the embossing folder by Tim Holtz again. I got the red ribbon from my extra and scraps bucket. The ric-rack is from Close To My Heart. And the stamp is also CTMH, The Season Defined.This card is not my normal Christmas colors but it is a fun change. It always amazes me how a simple sketches can inspire me to make so much better cards.  Thanks for stopping by. Brenda

Patchwork Challenge

I used some older paper from Close To My Heart for this card called Silhouette.The stamps are retired CTMH. The ribbon was from my extra bucket. This is not my normal size card but the quilted pattern fit so much better. Now I have to find an envelope for it. I am entering this in Simon Says Monday challenge.www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge Thanks for stopping by and Scrap Happy!

Scrapbook Room Curtains.

 So I am excited to share my curtains with you.  The top row are Krista's baby clothes.The blue sweater on the second row was given to me for Matt. I crossed stitched the onsie (third). The fourth jumper was Andrews but both boys wore it. Lastly the smurf sweatshirt was made by my mother. Aren't they fun! Plus they did not cost a thing. You can also see in this picture that I have moved my Cricut to the other side of the room.

Card with Dream Pop paper.

I used Dream Pop paper, and the It's Your Day stamp set for this card. I had an extra sticker from a K& Company set. I added a flower I got on clearance from Hobby Lobby. and the ribbon is Bulk Sorbet from CTMH. Scrap happy!

Freshly made sketch 110

I used some scraps from K & company Girl scout paper for this card. I also used some K & Company rub-ons I won at a crop and the T is from Color Bok Stick Alpha Stack. I plan on sending this card to my friend Tricia so that is what the T is for.

Crop Pictures

 I just wanted to say thanks to the girls who could make it to the crop. I know these pictures are a little late. Sorry. I have been working on some editing this weekend after working 12 hours last week so I might get caught up. As you can see it was a full house. We had people squeezed in every corner. My spot was in front of the freezer after everyone dragged all their stuff in.

Even Izzy likes to crop!

My Tim Holtz attempt at a card

This was my first attempt at a card that was Tim Holtz style. I did not take notes because I could not decide weather I liked it or not. I used a CTMH stamp for the sediment and I also used a stamp called Torn Paper. i got that stamp and the music washi tape from a scrapbook store we visited in Ludington while we were camping. the paper is Wings and I think that is May Road Twine. thanks for stopping by. Scrap Happy!
