This month we're pulling out our embossing folders to make our four cards!  I *may* have a few to choose from! 

For my first card I just had to color up a cute piggy from a set from La La Land Crafts that I just got called This Little Piggy. So darn adorable and fun!! So many times I reach for an embossing folder I always just emboss white cardstock so today I wanted to do some other colors! I chose a light blue for this Clouds embossing folder to go with my piggy!

Four on Friday-Buttons and Brads

It's time for another Four on Friday with my friend, Alicia! My friend, Alicia and I have a collaboration series called "Four on Friday". Every few Fridays, we will be sharing 4 different projects using the same technique, tool or type of product. To see previous Four on Friday posts, click HERE!

This month we are making four cards or projects using buttons and brads. I don't know about you but I have tons of these around and rarely use them so it was fun to dig them out and get them onto some cards!

My first card uses an adorable retired clear stamp from Some Odd Girl called In Stitches Tia. I colored her up on Day 22 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I used some buttons on this card as I thought it fit the sewing theme well.

My last card uses a fun stamp for all the planner girls called Plan It Anya. I colored her up on Day 24 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. You can't tell but she does have glossy accents on her glasses to make them a bit more realistic. I used some of my favorite brads on this card. I have always liked these bronzey looking ones.

The first layouts of 2017!

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had starting my scrappy journey again! I think I might have even caught myself smiling!!

I fought and fought to get decent photos of the layouts but then I just decided it's not worth it. I am a person who likes to share my creations but I'm not going to lose the joy of creating over getting the perfect photo of the creation. 

So these are not the best photos but I think they will still give you the idea of the layout! 

For all of the layouts I made yesterday I used the CTMH Make It From Your Heart series of books. I love CTMH when I'm scrappin! All of these pages use retired papers and accents from CTMH.

The next two layouts go together. I was so pleased with myself that I stamped on these layouts!! I used the SU Gorgeous Grunge for the little "dirt" spots! I enjoyed using some of my embossing folders as well!

Have an amazing day! Sam took a few days off for us to have more family fun so today we're off to see the movie Sing and then tomorrow we're off to the zoo. Of course I plan on getting in some crafty time too!!

See you back here soon!

Gentry

I was so excited on Tuesday when I saw THIS post!! Pixie Dust Studio is coming back!! I have always adored these sweet, fun, cute digis! 

I decided to spread my happiness by coloring up this sweet girl! I have her saved as Gentry but she might have a new name now. I happened to look around the shop a bit and I see several new digis I *have* to have!! I mean look at the cute Finding Dory, Cinderella Mermaid and Ariel Mermaid!! So so cute!!

I have several paper pads on my crafty table that I'm trying to use up so you might see the same paper being used on numerous cards! 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge~ Anything Goes
• Craft Your Passion~ Anything Goes
• Lil Patch of Crafty Friends~ Anything Goes

Don't forget I am still looking for new members for my Flutter By Team! Find out the details HERE!

I'm off to work on my stamp catalogs some more! Have a fabulous day!
