Oh my goodness is she FABULOUS??? This cutie's name is Rock and Rollers. What makes this image that much better, is you get this FUN matching sentiment when you purchase her.

SCACD Product Spotlight Card

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!! It's another hot day here in Northeast Ohio.....We have some sunshine today so I wanted to share with you the card I made yesterday using some GREAT SCACD Products!!!  I decided yesterday to sit down and make a card a little different for me, less layers and no coloring. I have these awesome products in my stamp room that I feel don't get enough attention LOL. So I made a card focusing on them, hope you enjoy my creation today!!!!

For this card, I used one of my all time Favorite Paper Packs Park Bench by Fancy Pants, OMG I love these colors...Check this pad out its GORGEOUS!!!

EEEK I LOVE these colors so much LOL!!! I own two of these because I can't get enough of it :) Right Now SCACD has this paper pack on sale for 10% off. Come grab one HERE before they are all gone, she only has a few left in stock!!

Once I picked my paper I wanted to pick an embossing folder to use, I used this gorgeous folder by Couture Creations, I dream!! 

You must have a peek at all the AWESOME Folders Couture Creations has HERE!!!!

So Once I embossed my card, I added lots of butterflies to the embossed paper to make it Pop. Next I decided to use one of many SCACD dies.  I chose this gorgeous die!!!

LOVE this, I added lots of pearls to the open spaces from cutting out this die. SCACD really has such amazing dies with lots of details, I really love that!!!

So after I completed all of the above,  I stamped a sentiment I had in my stash and outlined my design with black marker, then added it on a card base.

Last but not least I did the inside of my card.....

I ran out of pearls to add to my butterfly, but that didn't matter because I had this awesome Viva Decor Pearl Pen.  

I use this on so many things, it looks just as nice as adding small flat back pearls to your card, but I have to say these pearl pens are so much easier to use :) Come check out SCACD's Viva Decor Pens HERE

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!!!!

Baby Boy Birthday!

Good Evening Everyone Happy Monday!!!! I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend. Today I wanted to share a creation with you that I made for my Best Friend's Nephew....I went to his 1st Birthday party yesterday and he was just toooo cute opening presents and eating his cake. My baby is almost 11 years old and I almost forgot how super cute they are experiencing their very first birthday!!! Just too adorable for words.

Everything at his party was animal themed so my card fit right in. I used this adorable lion image I found in my stash. I am pretty sure this is a Stampendous Cutie. Hope you enjoy my creation today!!!

I just had a blast making this card, I had an older Marvy Cupcake punch so I could make the lion look like he was touching the cupcake :) I also used a EK Success birthday border punch to punch him out a hat to match this adorable Baby Boy Echo Park paper. I just love these colors for a little boy!!!!

But before I let you go, I just have to show you a couple pictures of the DARLING Birthday Boy!!!!

He is just tooo precious, I just love this little dude, just like he is my own nephew =D He will call me Aunt Crystal one day LOL!!!

Good Afternoon everyone Happy Thursday, WOW its another hot and VERY humid day here in Northeast Ohio. I believe with the heat index it is over 100 degrees..Yuck...On the upside it is PERFECT crafting weather LOL!!!

Today I would like to share a creation with you that I made using this ABSOLUTELY adorable image Little Stargazer. You can find this cutie, along with the whole collection of The Little Sassy Crew at my all time favorite online store SCACD!!!

Before I share with you my card using the image, doesn't she remind you of the Mad Hadder but WAY CUTER??? When I first got this image I was on a hunt for the old paper line by Graphic 45 Alice in Wonderland Halloween. It took a lot of looking but I luckily stumbled upon it at my local Stamping Convention, I was THRILLED!!! I just had to have this paper with this fun image! :)

Hope you enjoy what I came up with today!!!

Isn't she just too adorable, I am sooo happy I found this paper :) Do you love Graphic 45? If there are paper packs you like I would order them because just like this one they retire and disappear. SCACD has some great Graphic 45 paper packs. Check that out HERE!! 

Also I did the inside of my card, What's the Madder with me? I found that so catchy it just popped in my head LOL. And here is the inside of the card to finish it off. 

For this creation I also used a sketch from the challenge blog Love to Scrap. Here is the sketch I used
