Sat night Scrapbook Cafe's challenge and Free scrapbooking and cardmaking goodies!

Here is what I made for the Sat night Scrapbook cafe challenge. I designed the card file so my Silhouette could cut this pumpkin in black all one piece then I placed patterned paper behind the black outline to color the pumpkin. The face is placed on top of the orange paper. I thought he still looked a little bland so I applied a stickles border the whole way around and in the center of the eyes. I got this bottle of stickles for FREE! Want to know how scroll down!




Look at all that amazing scrapbook and cardmaking supplies. Want to know how I got this great package in the mail for free?! It's easy just sign up for a chance to be the Scrapbook Cafe's Artist of the month. I got this in the mail for being chosen for the August artist. It has some wonderful things. I've only used the stickles so far but I absolutely love them and wish I had more colors. Now to find some time to play with the rest of the stuff. What are you waiting for...go sign up!


Thanks for reading and looking!

Time for some inspiration and free files!

I am always making cards for birthday, anniversaries and to say thanks. With two little ones at home I can't be fussing around trying to figure what I want to do to make my cards. I love sketches so I use them all the time for inspiration that still lets me be creative. I am hosting a card sketch challenge on the Paperthreads forum. Just for making a card you win a great prize check it out today!


Above is the example I made from the sketch I used American Crafts ribbon, Creative Memories paper, dew drops, fluid chalk, mechanical label maker, and Prima flowers.

Well not only am I at a loss for cards but sometimes a I need a little something to get me motivated to scrapbook so I decided to host a scrapbook sketch challenge too! You can win an awesome file just for participating. Check it out on the Paperthreads forum today!





Above is an example of what I made using the scrapbook sketch. It is a hyrbrid version since doing the photo collage was so much easier in PSE then it would be by hand. I also used Scrappin Cops wonderful clipboard to show a prayer my nephew had created so we could bless our food. I used fluid chalk, copper Creative Memories pen for stitching and fibers also.

BEE HAPPY! Sat challenge

I designed this card for the Scrapbook Cafe's Sat night challenge. I thought it turned out pretty cute! A little different from your ordinary birthday card. I used dew drops for the bee head and flower, center, my label maker to do the sentiment. I used Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan fluid chalk. Ribbon is American Crafts! Don't you just love ribbon that has sentiments already printed on them..makes life simple. Simple is Good!

Come snuggle with my teddy bear!

I made this card for a friend of mine using Wishblading Well's files. I used fluid chalk to add depth to the edges and regular chalk for the cheeks. I also added gloss paint for the eyes and nose. I hand made the little heart out of Darice wire. I hand embossed the onsie following the pattern on the Creative Memories paper. I made it look a little distressed since baby boys are far from neat! I resisted buying those little safety pins for the longest time but thought it added just the right touch for this teddy! Thanks for looking! Shelly

























inside of card. I used my own file for the scalloped heart and used the pen tool on my digital cutter with an American Crafts gel pen for the sentiment.
