Project Life Spread Week #10

Hey beautiful crafters! I just wanted to take a minute and share my project life spread with you!

This is our week 10. ;) I'm pretty sure all of the cards used are from the Cut & Paste line. ;) P.S. I bought a ton of simple stories cards that I cant wait to share and make spreads with!!! SOOO EXCITED!

 I'm kinda in love with adding elements that are clear. They add such a fun layer and you can still see through. ;) This cutie pie stamp is from Unity it's a stamp set called Tiny Trinity. I stitched that heart!

 I cut these with my Cricut. I haven't used that thing in forever (shhh) don't tell anyone I'm a bad Cricut owner.

This is just a close up of one of my favorite cards. That sentiment is using another Unity stamp called time for…friends & wine.

If you want to enter the Pocket Page Challenge going on this week jog on over HERE! ;)

Love and creative blessings,
Raven

You are my sunshine!!!

Hey beautiful crafters!

eCraft awesomeness and my first book!

Well hello to you too! ;) Yeah I'm in a weird mood. Anyway...I was so excited when I had the opportunity to walk around at CHA and meet some awesome people that I had to try my hand at some products, why of course. Today's project was NOT an impulse buy...go me. lol It was something I have wanted for about a year now and when I saw it in action at CHA I had to have it!!! The bind it all. So this is a creation of some of my new favorites and some old ones...the eCraft of course, the Bind it all, Unity Stamps and this fabulous paper!

We received the ecraft diecutable cardstock from the Paper Mill store
and AMAZING stamps from Unity Stamps. I love me some Unity. So I got
to work right away. The paper we were gifted is a solid based
cardstock with a texture on one side and it is smooth on the other
side. Super love this stuff.

Here is a list of what was used:

Pink CutMates Diecutable Cardstock. (Strawberry Smoothie)
Pattern paper
Bakers Twine (Pink) from Twistedsugartwine.com
brown buttons
Ribbon
Coasters

So this was a really fun project to make. I started with 2 coasters
(measuring 4"x4") that my mom had purchased for me (they were .10 at
Michaels) I covered each side with pattern paper and then using my
AMAZING new Bind-it-all I punched the holes on the side. Then I cut
the CutMates Cardstock down to 3 1/2" x 3 3/4" and punches holes with
the bind it all to match up the front and back cover.

Using the eCraft I cut out the heart from Fundamentals 1 at 3" inked
it up and placed it on the cover. Next I cut up 3 flowers at 2" from
the Fundamentals 1 SD card and stamped those as well as crinkled them.
Added some embellishments and voila!

I really love this little project and I cant wait to make a ton more.
I was telling my husband that everyone will be getting a "book" for
Christmas lol. Hope you are all having a great day.

Scrapbook page2~Lobos

(WORD HEAVY)

I'm forewarning you in case you don't want to read my

babbling just scroll down there is a picture or two in here somewhere. ;)

 I didn't post this last week but I did finish it last week! I just didn't get a chance to get a picture of it and upload it. So if you are super new here (WELCOME BTW) then you may not know but one of my New Years Resolutions is to make a two page spread once a week. I realize I might not have time to do that so I'm okay with one page per week as well. lol

Either way here is my layout for last week. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have completed 52-2 page spreads which will be a total of 104 single pages! I believe that I can do it! I just have to stay focused so call me out (Haidee lol) When I haven't posted one. I LOVE that I really do it keeps me on track.

Anyway one more thing to say and then I'll quit rambling...I thought it would be easier to jump back into scrapbooking then it has proven to be. It is NOT like riding a bike people! ;) I need practice! LOTS AND LOTS OF PRACTICE.

Okay here it is...

My husband (the sports freak) rallied all the troops to go to the first of the season Lobos game. We are die hards even though they were 16-1 lol lol lol. We're just loyal that way hahaha. Anyway we knew we would be too frustrated to go again after the first game so we went and had a blast!!! I actually have so many pictures this may be its own album when its done lol.

 I made some secret journaling on that tag right behind the picture. ;) I just made a little pocket for it and placed it inside.

 Here is some more journaling. I use to hate my handwriting. But then my dad came over this past Christmas with recipes for us to use to make cookies. Well they had my grandmothers handwriting who passed 10 years ago from a sudden cancer. I miss her terribly but it was amazing to see her handwriting in the recipes we used. So I decided then and there my kids (and whoever reads the sb pages) wont be judging my handwriting they will be cherishing the memories that were documented. So that's that ;)

Okay so something y'all may not know about me is I love me some Unity stamps. Ive only recently found them within the last 4 months but I have um...(our secret right?) about fifty sets! Yeah I kinda love them lol. shhh don't tell my husband! ~K~ Thanks ;)

So this page uses the January Smak Kit called without YOU what would I DO and the Itty Bitty set called You're the Ticket. I also used a few elements from the new Peachy Picks Kit.

I hope you all like it as much as I liked making it. Hope you're having a beautiful Martin Luther King Jr. Day!!!!

A combination of my loves

So yall know I've been talking about Peachy keen and the eCraft. Well I added a little Unity to this and I simply love it!

I just recently received some AMAZING SD cards for Christmas; Entertainment and Waterlife. Both of which I LOVE but I decided to use Entertainment on this project.

I wanted to make a super quick project so I just removed my pen from the holder and cut away. I didn't want the pen lines as I wanted to stamp my own face. I cut the base and the hair at 3".

Here is what happened. ;)

Ecraft- Entertainment

Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellishments- button from my friend Jamie, Twine

Stamps- PK-660 Laughy Taffy Face Assortment, Undeniably you~For the sentiment

Sunday Sunday

There is a song about Sunday. Actually there are a few but I listed to mostly oldies. BAH whodda guessed. Okay okay that and country. Well I listen to just about anything really as long as I can understand the lyrics. I'm not the biggest fan of screaming. You see I have four kids and I get plenty of screaming in this house I don't need it in my music too lol.

Anyway...I'm rambling. Lets get straight to it. I have two projects that I'm going to share today I hope that's okay. I normally don't do that but I figured it will be okay just this once. ;) So here they are...

Project #1 is for my good friend Christel! It's her birthday this month and she has tons of fun stuff going on over at her blog so please go over and check it out. Today I am her guest designer and I am so honored that she asked me to do this!!! Thanks Christel love you girl hope you have the best birthday ever!!!

For this card I used Sending My Love from Unitystampco.com(which is on sale for $5.00 right now) and Birthday Phrases from Verve

The second card kinda goes along with the first one lol.

Project #2~ Market Street Stamps Challenge

This easel card I made for the Market Street Stamps color challenge going on now here. I'm kind of in love with easel cards these days! Turquoise is one of my favorite colors so I just had to play along. I was going for clean and simple on this one. But the sentiment is my favorite part. I used both Comfort Food and BFFs. Then I colored her in with copics and added some rub ons.

Thats all for today! Thank you all so much for stopping by. I hope you all have a beautiful day!!!

Free time~Unity Stamps

Hi everyone! How are you on this beautiful Monday? Hehehe. My day is going fabulously well if I do say!

Here is a project I made just for fun and I thought I'd share.

This sentiment is my favorite and OH SO TRUE!!!

Ink- Basic black
Stamps- September Kit of the Month

Tools- Spellbinders
Paper- All of it was from my scraps pile
