The Buckle Boutique Lips

I am so excited to be featured at The Buckle Boutique today!!!

I decorated a compact today with some blingy lips!!

I cut out a set of red rhinestone sticker sheet lips from Don Juan on my cricut machine.  I hid the inner cuts as they were pretty detailed and I wasn't sure how well it would cut.

I cut my rhinestone sticker sheets blingy side down and I use packing tape to keep the sticker sheet in place.  I use my Deep Cut Blade set to 6, my speed at 3 and my pressure at 3.

Once I cut the lips out, I took my coated cutter bee scissors and cut the lips apart and trimmed out a curve on each lip. 

Now when I grab my compact - I see some luscious lips blinging at me!!

Disney Pixar Blog Hop

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

If you are looking for my Telling Your Story Through Scrapbooking Post, please go HERE!



If you love Disney Pixar and crafting, you came to the right place!  We have an entire month of fun planned for you, with a new group of crafting bloggers every Saturday in June.  

If you came here from Shawn's blog, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon this Blog Hop, make sure to head over to Shawn's blog so that you see the full hop from the very beginning. 



My friend is taking her children to Disneyland in a couple of   weeks.  She needed some autograph books for the kids.  

I created these 5x7 books using chipboard for the cover and    back, cardstock and my Zutter Bind-It-All.  I covered the chipboard with paper and cut the Mickey  and  Minnie out using my Cameo.  I used a font on my computer to create the Prince Thomas and Princess Caroline. 



I put the year on the inside as I made it too big for the cover.

I filled the album with white cardstock.  Typically, I decorate   the pages on the inside with the characters,  but in Disneyland the characters don't have a set autograph spot so it is hard to  predict who you will see. 



 I put a little Mickey on the back.

For my next project, I decorated a visor:





I cut this Mickey head out of a red resin rhinestone sticker sheet from The Buckle Boutique.  I used my cricut and the Disney Font cartridge.


I cut the sticker sheet rhinestone side down on the mat (and I tape clear packing tape all around the edges).  I use the Deep Cut Blade set to 6 and Multi Cut set to 2.  I slow down the speed to Medium, but sometimes the Gypsy has a mind of her own concerning the speed!!

We are planning a trip to WDW in November with the entire family - I am so excited!!!  I can't wait to ride the new 7 Dwarfs Mine Ride!!  




One of my favorite character memories is when my oldest was 9 or 10 and not really into the characters but his younger brother was.  While waiting for Tyler to get his book signed, Kramer was standing with his arms crossed tapping his toe.  Cruella De Ville came up and started harassing him asking him if he was "too cool" to see the characters - it was so funny!!! 




 What is your favorite Disney Memory?

Together (Frosted Designs)

Hello and Happy Saturday!!  I know that time is very limited for everyone - especially scrapbookers!!!  Today I want to share a time saving tip with you.  

Creating with a Scrapbook Kit has save me tons of time.  I was not a kit subscriber until a few months ago.  I figured I have 3,000 pieces of paper at home - why do I need a kit??  Well, I never had the right shade of blue (or any other color) to match my photo or my pretty new flowers.  Buying a kit takes all the guess work out of matching colors and themes for us!!

I recently attended a wedding of a good friend of mine.  I wanted soft colors with a pop of color added.  The perfect kit to use was Simply Sweet from Frosted Designs:

I started with this beautiful paper:

I took the stencil Live, Love, Laugh and used molding paste with it.  Once dry, I spritzed some Dylusions Bubblegum Pink ink spray (from a previous Frosted Designs kit) on it. 

I also spritzed a tag and flower - both from the kit. 

I tucked the doily sticker behind my photo. 

I journaled on this tag and pop-dotted it over the photo.

I used the word "together" as my title.  My friend Renee and I went to the wedding together.  We have both been through thick and thin with our friend Karyn and wanted to support her together!!

The idea for this layout came very quickly.  Waiting for the paste and ink to dry was the longest part!!!

I hope you try a kit - I was hesitant at first but I am totally hooked now!!!  For a chance to win a $15 discount off a kit - go HERE to enter!!!

Easter Layout

Happy Wednesday!!!  Today begins a new Challenge at Let's Scrap!  The sketch is:

I had a little trouble with the angles - my photos are pretty busy so I decided to only turn two photos at an angle instead of 4.

Easter is the one layout I can use flowers and pastel colors and I used this yummy paper from a paper pad at Michaels. 

If you know me at all, you know how much I emphasize handwriting on your layouts!!!  This tag was part of the paper pad and was perfect for my journaling!!  I layered a piece of orange paper below it and tucked a flower on the side.  The flowers came from my scrapbook kit at Frosted Designs - love these kits!!!

I used this tag for my title - which I purchased in the Silhouette online store.  I also triple matted the photos in white, orange and pink.  Tanner was the only boy in the egg hunt (and yes he has his bag on his head)!!  We had to wait for my cousin to arrive before we could hunt candy - all of the chocolate melted!!

We had a wonderful Easter at my brother's house in the country.  I hope you did too!!

Father's Day Beer Mugs (Sassy)

Hello - Today I am the Guest Designer at my friend Sheila's BLOG!!  Today I have a fun Father's Day project.  I wanted to make something fun for the dad's and Papa's in my daycare this year.  I recently decorated some beer mugs for the men in a wedding party and a friend wanted a similar one for her dad.

I turned on my Cameo and dug out my vinyl and made several different ones to choose from! 

This one is the most requested!! 

I love the white letters on the black ties!! 

The moustache theme is still going strong! 

Putting vinyl on glasses is a little tricky due to the curve of the glass, but a little patience and practice go a long way!!!

I hope all of the dad's and Papa's in your life have a wonderful Father's Day later this month!!!

wedding themed page kit from Mambi.

So, sit back and grab yourself a Latte' as we dare to amaze you with our projects.

My friend's son is getting married next weekend and I was honored to make a banner and some gift bags for her:

I cut out 6" triangles from burlap.  I created letter stencils using my cameo: 

I cut the stencils out of vinyl and stuck the pieces to the burlap.  

I painted the letters on with black paint.  When the paint was dry, I removed the vinyl.

I used mod podge to stick the burlap pieces to brown kraft paper to give it a nice backing.  I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes and twine to string the banner together.

She wanted some gift bags for the men who stood up with her son. 

She found this saying on Pinterest.  I made this on my cameo with fonts from my computer.  I sent it to my printer and trimmed the paper to fit the bag. 

The rehearsal dinner is at a baseball themed bar as they are huge baseball fans.  They wanted simple bags for the guests to take home the leftover popcorn bar, Big League Chew, Cracker Jacks and sunflower seeds.  As a baseball mom, I frantically took notes!!!

I made a simple circle monogram and cut it out of crimson vinyl for the bags.

I also made food labels for her for the shower and rehearsal dinner but forgot to photograph them.  I was happy to make these for her - she was my middle son's 5th grade teacher!!!

Blinged Up Visor and Can Hug

I am so excited to be featured at The Buckle Boutique today with some summer bling!!!

After a very cold winter and wet spring I am ready for sunshine!!!  I blinged up a visor and can hug for the occasion!

I used the Hot Pink Zebra Stripe Buckle Boutique Rhinestone Sticker Sheet to cover the visor and can hug. 

I took the spring off the visor and traced it onto the back of the sticker sheet.  I cut it out with my coated cutter bee scissors and stuck it down. 

I measured and cut the sticker sheet for the can hug and left a border at the top and bottom.  I trimmed a strip of black rhinestone sticker sheet to put on the top and bottom to give it a finished look.

Now I am ready for summer!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  What would you put rhinestone sticker sheets on??
