your an inspiration 2

Hello everyone

a couple of weeks ago I made a CAS card but I didn't like it so I took it apart added layers for some dimension, and pattern paper... much better - what do you think??

the stamp is from CTMH and I really love the fun Silhouette and the "your an inspiration" sentiment is from Pink by Design the other one from CTMH

the paper is all from my scrap bin!  love it when i can use some of that!

I love the bright colours 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

your next stamp - atg

hiding in my craft room - share a challenge

totally stampalicious - atg

altered box - back to school

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend.

Ok... so if you have been following my blog you will know that I am more of a scrap-booker and card maker.  I haven't made too many altered items... but I thought that i would make an exception for a couple of challenges and some fancy pants paper that i had left over from last Septembers Scaptastic club kit.

I started out with a box from the dollar store... I actually really like the checkered red top of the box

 I wasn't too keen on the flowers... well for a school box that is

 Added some fanny pants paper some embellishments...

and  voila.. a beautiful box for school items

 some close ups below on the embellishments and paper used 

 I was inspired by the below challenges to make this box

LMCB- A summers end

 Hey everyone...

I hope you are all having a great weekend and are getting in some crafty time!!  Lasting memories challenge blog has a new challenge up for you.   A Summers End - We’d love to see how you wind down before the kid’s head back to school and the cooler weather moves in, do you take a family vacation? Spend lots of time poolside?  Pop on over and check it out!  Here is my inspiration for the challenge.

I used my CTMH stamps to create the background paper with versa mar

When making the background i was thinking about a challenge at Scraptastic - Subway art... love how the words are all over and different ones for the beach, Sun, Water, Sand, Fun, Hot, Chillin, Friends, Party, Drinks and Beach was in there... I don't think i am forgetting any but it is mostly covered up now. 

Again some CTMH stamps for the sunshade, chairs and flip flops

in this picture you can see a close up of the glitter i used on background paper

I used my cricut to create the letters and the shapes behind the picture

I used Washi tape in the corners

I used basic grey paper for the frames and the polka dot paper

and one more of the LO :)

I also wanted to share what my work space looks like while I work!!  messy messy messy!!!
