*Click HERE for the 3GJ 3D Valentines Challenge Post*
Today's post is all about a banner I made for ME!!! LOL Now you might be saying..hmm why's that so special..well most of what I design/create are projects that are for others or are DT projects so I was so happy to have a chance to create something for my home and I LOVE IT!!
I'm really excited to share this with you as this banner contains yummy products from some of my most favorite companies...Maya Road,Moni Ami Gabby & of course what project could I possibly do without Mr.Tim & his lovely line of goodies : )
Ok..I really struggle with trying to get a "good" shot of projects like this so I took some closer up in a different room so you could see all the details a bit better : )
I started off with the Maya Road Canvas Pennant album. I knew I didn't want to use it for an album (this time anyway) so I took the rings out so I could lay it out as a banner. The gorgeous fabric flowers are from Mon Ami Gabby.
I used some shabby embossing enamel on the Maya Road chipboard letters...love how they turned out...all chunky and distressed : )
Here's a closer pic of how they look...
Look at all that distressed/chunky/textured goodness!! The MR chipboard Blossoms took the embossing enamel perfectly!!
Here are a few pics of it after I hung it up...
And this is what I get to see when I walk in my front door : )
Thanks for stopping by and checking out another scrappy post!!
Hey everyone...what a fun post I have in store for you. Today another FAB challenge begins over at the 3G Challenge Blog!
What's the new exciting challenge you ask??? Well let's get right to it...a 3D Valentines challenge using ribbon. was our sponsor for this challenge so not only did I get to work with some yummy 3GJ crinkle ribbon, each of us on the 3GJ DT were able to work with their cotton muslin bags.
Here's what I came up with........
Love using the Crinkle Ribbon in fun new ways. I layered it on these chipboard hearts I cut...love how it turned out.
The large heart is from Maya Road, it's one of their Heart Tart Tins..I covered it using a vintage Valentines doily and topped it off with a sweet flower I made using more of the 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon and one of the awesome 3G Flair Buttons.
Just love using these in my projects...be sure to check these out at the 3GJ store if you haven't already.
The cotton muslin bags from State Line make a wonderful canvas to work with. So many creative possibilities with these bags!!!
Be sure to check out the 3GJ Challenge Blog to see all the details surrounding the challenge. There are some amazing goodies up for grabs: 25 Canvas bags from Stateline Bags co. and 1 bundle of 3GJ ribbon but wait...there's more....a Guest DT spot with 3GJ...how cool is that???
Also don't forget to stop by my 3GJ DT Sisters blogs and leave them some love as well.....I've seen their projects and they are awesome!!
Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting : )
Hi Friends,
Today I'll be sharing another DT project with Scor-pal...you can check out the full post that was featured on the Scor-pal blog HERE . My project is the second one in the post so keep scrolling once you get there : )
We had a cross promotion week with Simple Stories and I LOVE the paper collection I was given to play with...Sn@p Life! I knew right away I wanted to make something for my 13 yr old daughter Kaley so I came up with my version of a smash journal for her. The colors were just perfect and are some of her favorites.
See how vibrant & bright this collection is??? Love it!! I made this mini/journal from nothing but the papers that are in the collection. When we're so graciously sponsered by these amazing companies I want to make sure I use as much of their product as I can...it's a fun challenge : )
I made a pocket on the top and side of the front cover so Kaley would have extra space to journal and put photos.
Lots of textures & layers in this mini...which is something I love to do in my projects.
This is a FAB collection to use for a teen...I know for my daughter the sentiments & colors were just perfect. She truly is energetic and lives life to the fullest and in color!! I'll be posting a video of this mini on my YouTube channel and I'll post a link back at my blog as well, so be sure to check back for this later this weekend : )
Make sure you check out this new collection from Simple Stories.

Happy Friday everyone!! I'm super excited about today's post. I'm a proud DT member of 3 Girl Jam (3GJ) and today my friend Sassy with Sassy Moments is our Guest Designer.
When Julie (owner of 3GJ) asked us to choose a Guest DT it seriously took me all of 2 seconds to know who I was going to select...Sassy!! She and I first met when we were DT sisters for another Team about a year and half ago and we have really become good friends in the past 8+ months. We chat most everyday and I LOVE IT!! She encourages me in my crafting and helps support and promote me with my crafting goals, she has a HUGE heart and I see her encouraging others online as well. She has been in the Top 10 with May Arts for more of their challenges than I can name off right now and she just simply ROCKS!!! These are just a few of the reasons I chose Sassy as my Guest DT.
Please make sure you go check out her amazing & UBER creative project that she created using some of the yummy 3GJ crinkle ribbon over at the 3 Girl Jam Blog by clicking HERE.
Here's a sneak peek of her awesome project.....

Hey everyone...sorry it's been awhile since my last post. My Henderson family suffered a loss this past Sunday, my father-in-law passed away after a long battle with cancer. We've spent a lot of the past few weeks visiting him after work and on the weekends so I haven't been home to craft. The service is tomorrow so if you wouldn't mind throwing up a prayer for my Henderson family and most importantly my mother-in-law, it would be much appreciated : )
I wanted to get online and do a quick post. To be honest I need the distraction right now and being a crafty place and mindset is what I need right now.
Today I wanted to share a project that I made for a co-worker and his family for their Christmas present. This was also my DT project for 3 Girl Jam, you can see the post on their blog HERE
This started off as a "naked" bird house from Kaiser Craft....
I thought I took a picture of this before I started but I can't find one so this is one I grabbed off Google...but I think you can get the general idea of how this looked before I scrapped it up : )
I made two of the flowers above using some of they FAB crinkle ribbon from 3GJ. The larger flower is from Petaloo and the leaves are cut from Websters Pages, "Your Life Beautiful" collection. Which is also the paper I used on this project.
More of the yummy crinkle ribbon...this is Halloween Harvest...one of my faves. I used some Glossy Accents on the birdies to make them pop a bit and added some stickles in Copper.
The branch & bird is from the Tim Holtz Bird & Branch die. I inked the branch and added some more stickles on the leaves. For the bird I used some distress embossing powder in Shabby White. Topped it off with some more of the 3GJ crinkle ribbon and a Petaloo flower. Love how this turned out : )
Here's a closer look at the flower cluster. You can probably tell that I love using the crinkle ribbon from 3GJ since I make and use these flowers on a lot of my projects. I just love how versatile it is and Julie does a FAB job of creating such wonderful colors.
Well...that's all I had for today. Thanks for stopping by and checking out another scrappy post.
I plan to get back to my regular posting this weekend after everything from the funeral is over. It's been a difficult week for sure for our family and I do appreciate the kind words and prayers from those that I've heard from through Facebook and by email and text. It truly means a lot.
Happy Crafting : )

Happy New Year my crafty friends!! Wow I can't believe it's 2013...the holiday season just seemed to fly by for me. I was sick for most of it but I was still able to spend time with my family and create some wonderful memories.
I haven't posted in a bit due to being sick for over a week but I will be catching up now that I am feeling much better : ) On my last post I gave you a sneek peek of my holiday DT project for Scor-pal well I had planned on doing this post over a week ago but as I mentioned I was sick so better late than never right?? Even though this is a holiday project I still want to share it with all of you. You can create this banner and make it for whatever holiday you want or just simply have it designed to fit the decor of your home.
I used the Home For Christmas collection from Fancy Pants..we were doing a cross promotion with them and let me tell you...I LOVE this collection. I have some left over from this project and I plan on using it for some holiday projects next year. There are even some papers that would work with non-Christmas projects too..love that.
I did the tutorial for this on the Scor-pal blog during the promotion week..you can check out how I made this HERE. I'll just be sharing pics for the remainder of this post since you can check out the tutorial over on the Scor-pal blog.
Here's a photo of the banner after I put my family photo back on the wall...
Love this banner and I was sad to put it away with my other Christmas decorations. But I will be making more of these so I can have one or more to display in my home.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your families and that you rang in the New Year surrounded with friends & family.
I believe that 2013 will be an awesome year for me..crafty wise and family wise..can't wait to see what's in store for me.
Be sure to come back for another scrappy post..I'll be doing more catch up posts for some other projects I've recently created.
Happy Craftin!!
