Congrats Rebecca, from Rebecca lol! I will email you to confirm your email address for sending the gift card! Stay tuned because I love doing giveaways as often as I can! Happy 2018!


I was thrilled to be asked to participate in this year's Top 10 Blog Hop! Definitely make your way through the entire hop because there are lots of giveaways throughout! And make your way to the end of the post to see my giveaway!

My first favorite from the year is a layout that I made for my Big Picture Classes Small Photos Make a Big Impact class where I show how to use small photos on projects.
For my second I chose a layout from another Big Picture Classes class called Two In One where you make a layout in each lesson and then use the remainder of the products from the layout to make a card.
For #3, I chose a layout I created when I guest designed for Ashley Horton's The Cut Shoppe.
For the fourth, I chose a Jillibean Soup layout. Designing for them has been a blast this year!
For the fifth project, I chose a layout I made for the Stash Bash video hop for the month of March. Stash Bash is a bunch of crafters trying to use up their stash rather than buy lots of new supplies. Check out my playlist on YouTube to see them all. We took a break for December, but we'll be back in January!
Now it's time to move onto some cards!
I've been designing for Therm O Web for years and every release gets better and better.
I had the opportunity to design for Queen & Co. this year and for me it was a match made in heaven. I love their bright colors, rainbow products and easy to create shakers!
I was thrilled to get the chance to guest design for Pretty Pink Posh this year!
I also fell in love with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.
I loved designing for Cardmaker Magazine this year too! We got the chance to take part in some super fun blog hops like this one with L'il Inker.
I also had the opportunity to design for Poppystamps this year! I love their dies and stamps.

Last but not least, I made a bunch of cards to participate in Simon Says Stamp challenges.

4 Ways to Watercolor Vicki Boutin Watercolor Stickers

This month for the Scrapbook Circle Tech Tip, I decided to focus on 4 ways to watercolor the Vicki Boutin watercolor stickers found in the Scrapbook Circle Add On Laugh More.
I used Distress Oxide Inks, Kurtake Gansai Tambi paints and Starry Colors, Tombow Dual Tipped markers and a mix of Distress Inks, makers and watercolor cakes.

 You can see the different watercolor effects I was able to achieve on the stickers depending on which medium I used and how I applied them.
Check out this short video to see all 4 ways I watercolored these awesome stickers.


Want to see the kits and all the individual supplies I used? The links are all below:

Summer Celebrations with Jillibean Soup

Time to share my June Jillibean Soup creations! We started summer break off with a splash and I loved the big alphas to title this summer break layout!
 Most of the papers and embellishments are from the Souper Celebration collection but there are a few from Chit Chat Chowder too!
This summer our babies turned one! Our furry babies lol1 
 This time I mixed the Bowl of Dreams and Souper Celebration alphas to create my big title.
 I have been wanting to use that little lama somewhere and I thought this little scene under the puppy pictures was the perfect place!
Birthday cards come together quickly when you use Jillibean Soup's Souper Celebration collection. Pea Pod Parts and Wood Veneer for the win!
My one Bowl of Dreams project this month was this little thank you card. I die cut a piece of the floral patterned paper into a rectangle and then die cut part of it with a circle die to create a little table for my pineapples to sit on. 
Well that is it for this month! I may have heard that NEW Jillibean Soup collections may be coming soon, but you didnt hear it from me lol!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

F to the 5th Power = Five Fun Fav Finds on Friday

This is my first ever post for a new series on YouTube where I am going to showcase 5 crafty items that I am loving that week. Some will be new items, some will be new to me and some will be old favorites. I just love when other people share their favorite products and thought you might like to see what I am using and loving too!

 So without further ado, let's jump right in! First up are the Tonic Studios Nuvo Jewel Drops. I bought one color and then quickly grabbed 4 more. I love that they are super easy to use. Easier than the Nuvo Crystal Drops in my opinion.
I also love that they dry dimensional and translucent.
I use them on layouts and cards all the time now. I don't even feel the need to make drops on a non stick mat anymore because it is so easy to get the size and shape I am looking for right out of the bottle. I am seriously addicted!

Another recent addition of mine is the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink family. Seriously these inks are amazing!!
They are creamy and blend so easily and the reaction that the create with water is amazing! 
I've also used the Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix a TON lately. Mostly on cards. I love how just not having the hole in the middle of the sequin gives it a TOTALLY different look!
On a totally different note, I have seen a bunch of letterers talk about learning how to letter using Crayola Super Tip Markers, so I just had to give it a go. I had a 60% off coupon at JoAnn's so I grabbed this 50 pack and I LOVE them!
It is so much easier to learn the ability to move from more pressure on down strokes to less pressure on up strokes when you are not dealing with an actual brush tip. Plus they come in some so many awesome, fun colors! And they are SO cheap (especially with a great coupon!)
Last, but not least I had to include this stamp set by Uchi Design that was created exclusively for Simon Says Stamp. You can find it in the May Card kit and it is so cool. With the special stamps and transparency, you can create animated designs!
That one you probably have to see in the video to understand how innovative and cool it is! So check out the video here:
And if you are interested in grabbing some of these supplies yourself, I have links to almost everything here:


If you like this new series, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel and leave me a comment down below or on YouTube is there is anything you want me to check out and possibly include in a future episode!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
