Hey everyone..wow what an exciting post I have for you today : ) Scor-Pal is teaming up with The Play Date Cafe this week and I am beyond excited to "play along" this week. A few of us on the Scor-Pal DT created some projects using Scor-Pal products that went along with the color pallette at PDCC.
First let me show you what I came up with then I'll share the color story for the challenge.......
Love these colors....I was inspired right away when I saw them.
Next up are some photos of the completed project and then I'll have some photos at the end that show you how I created this mixed media wall art.
Cute flower made from some yummy 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon
I made this sparkly beauty with Scor-Tape...I'll show you how in just a moment.
Now for some photos of the creative process for this project : )
I started by painting over this metal wall art piece I picked up at a craft store.
Once the paint was dry I adhered some burlap strips using some Studio Matte Medium & Scor-Tape.
While the burlap & Matte Medium was drying I went to work on my sparkly chipboard embelishment. I used the TH Ornamental die for this. After I ran it through my Vagabond I covered the entire piece Scor-Tape...
Once you peel the backing off the Scor-Tape your left with some sticky goodness...
Next I sprinkled some chunky pink vintage glitter all over the chipboard...
I pressed it into the Scor-Tape just to make sure it was a nice even layer...
Voila!!!
The next few photos show how I made a floral embelishment with more chipboard, Scor-Tape & some yarn...
Such a fun & easy way to create your own embelishments!! For the rest of the project I used a variety of chipboard letters, paint, die-cuts, twine & various papers.
I totally had a ball creating this mixed media wall art and I am really excited to give this to my friend...who doesn't know she's getting it..hee hee. She reads my blog so I had to bring it to work today so I could give it to her before she saw this post : )

Hi Friends...welcome back for another scrappy post. Today I'm showing you a card I created for the PDCC127 over at The Play Date Cafe. What a FUN card this was to create. I love the colors they chose for us to use this week...so summery..which I am ready for...it's been super rainy here in Oregon : )
And here's my card for this weeks challenge....
I have really been lovin the Coral Couture stack from DCWV and the colors in this stack went perfectly with the color pallette above.
Prima flower topped off with a vintage button & some fun Buttercream twine from The Twinery.
More of that yummy twine in Maraschino!!
A little peeksie at the inside ; )

Welcome back friends...it's Monday so that means it's time for another weekly challenge with Made Especially For You
This weeks challenge is a fun one...your challenge is to create a card using 3 buttons on the front. I have to say that I may or may not be slightly addicted to vintage buttons...and this challenge was right my up alley.
Here's my take on this weeks challenge....
Lovin these vintage wood buttons I picked up last summer when I was junkin with Andrea. They go perfectly with the Dimestore Vogue paper collection from Vintage Street Market the Make Your Own stamp from Hero Arts was a perfect fit as well.
And one last look....
One of my fellow DT members thought it would be fun to show off our button stash since this challenge is all about the buttons. Like I mentioned above..I am slightly obsessed with vintage buttons. I have some really cool ones I have found on my junkin treasure & some really neat ones from my mom and grandma that I remember seeing when I was a kid. I also have some that are new or ones from my jeans or my kids clothes..lol...never miss out in a scrap-ortunity I say :)
Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is Kimberly at My Craft Spot
The prize for this weeks winner is this fab Friends & Neighbors stamp set...
Great prize right???

Hi Friends...welcome back to another scrappy post...this is gonna be a good one as it's all about a LO I did for the January Stack-a-holic template challenge over at Erin's DCWV Diary blog..you can read all about it here.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the DCWV paper stacks & had so much fun creating this LO. I am still scrappin up my wedding photos from 2 1/2 years ago..we seriously had a TON of photos taken due to have 2 photographers so this has been a work in progress since 2009 & I love it.
Even though my wedding colors were purple..the Be Mine stack was just perfect for a LO of my wedding photos. The colors from the pages I used go so well with the photos I picked out. So without further ado...here's my LO I've called "Happily Ever After".....
I am seriously thrilled with how this turned out. The sketch shows 3 photos & I just happened to have these printed off and ready to go on a page.
This paper is just gorgeous..the detail in the letters..textures & rich colors is just FAB! The blue felt trim at the top is from the Vintage Street Market Crate Paper Trims Neighborhood Collection (I cut the trim in half).
I fussy cut the Happily Ever After & added some pop dots for some dimension. I also didn't want to cover up the adorable cherubs in the background.
For the swag portion of the sketch I decided to fussy cut some more sentiments from the stack. I added some white eyelets and tied the sentiments using some Blossom twine from The Twinery to the soft pink wired ombre ribbon...Perfect!!
This next part was really fun as I was able to "play" with some of my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. The fabric scalloped trim comes plain..like muslin. I spritzed it with some Rose Glimmer Mist...let it dry and then spritzed it with some Glimmer Mist in Meadow Green. I was really thrilled that it turned out matching the DCWV paper so well...almost like I bought them together. I stapled the scallops to create a gathered feel. The flowers are cut from some ribbon I bought at a local craft store..I added some purple 1/2 pearls to make them pop off the page a bit. Here's a closer pic of the scalloped trim...
And one last look at my Happily Every After LO using the DCWV Be Mine stack & Metallic Stack....
Even though my wedding colors were purple...I found from this challenge that I don't always need to reach for mostly purple papers. I will most definitely be using more of the Be Mine stack in my wedding album. I think I will be putting this LO in a frame...I just love it (and I don't mean this in a tooting my own horn kinda way-I say this in the sense that the papers from DCWV are just so gorgeous and makes all of my projects turn out great!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and letting me share another scrappy creation with you that not only showcases the DCWV paper stacks but also gives you a glimpse into of of the most AMAZING days of my life (second only to the birth of my children).
