Kitschy Krafts

Hey ya’ll I hope everyone is having a wonderful “Stay At Home Because You Are Well Day”. Unfortunately I did not participate in this wonderful holiday, I had no reason to stay home because I was not well, do to the pile of homework on my desk. Today I have a another Design Team Project to share. This month came with plenty of trials between school, writing, the was I say “figure”, my dislike for HEB cheese, my dying cell phone and on top of everything I lost my crafty mojo. All month long I have been trying to figure out how to embellish my mini album for minialbumscraps.ning.com’s Design Team. Luckily I was able to bottle enough courage to just go with the flow and just work page by page – no planning. I’m telling you it is one of the hardest things for me to do… I mean NO  PLANNING. I have jumped a hurdle this month, I am a planner. Seriously I never do anything without planning, my spontaneous sister is very proud. I have tried to create something very special this month for memories from my sister’s and my sewing class experience. I hope you enjoy the pictures! I used Graphic 45’s Le Romantique Collection! YAY! For Graphic 45!!!!  I purchased this wonderful paper from a local scrapbooking store called The Crop Spot – Thank You Janna! The store is a wonderful place to get all your scrappy needs, if your ever in Tyler Texas look her up she is awesome! Other than what I got from the November Design Team Package and from my jewelry and lace stash I bought everything from her.. She is so friendly and has a wonderful selection of scrappy goodness.

This is going to be a very short blog post with a photo that has raised some eyebrows. I hope you all enjoy it and think it looks as yummy as I do!

I wanted to share these yummy looking nachos. They are a secret recipe topped with a new aged idea that I couldn’t help but share the finished product with you all!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a card that my mother and I made, it was done using the Dress It Up Collection from Die Cuts With A View (DCWV). It has a small pocket on the inside, using pop-up dots, so that we can place a gift card secretly inside. I want to give a shout out to my mommy because she can NEVER, EVER, EVER say she she is not crafty! I love how this card turned out and I don’t think we well ever give it away, it is a monumental piece of art that I will cherish for eternity.

Just incase you can’t read the sentiments on the card, due to my bad photography, this one reads ‘Go have fun…’

‘buy yourself something sparkly! XOXO’
The Dress It Up paper stack goes so well with this color cardstock.  I know it doesn’t look the same online as it does in person but I could not be happier with how it turned out!

I just wanted to stop by and share some pictures from our Thanksgiving celebration here in Texas. We had such a fun time cooking and playing games. It seems each year we make better memories then the last! Here are a few pictures and a video showing our Thanksgiving feast, and my favorite part… the table setting! Hope you enjoy and I’ll be back soon, what with Christmas and all!

 

We used our blue willow china and finally knocked *using the matching coffee pot* off of our bucket list! It was so much fun creating our little masterpiece on the table and even more fun digging in! I hope you all had a blessed day and a very happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I used Tim Holtz hinge clips to hold the velum to the project. I did it on all four front flaps so you can hold journaling underneath. It also gives another way to add interactive pages in minis.
