Rockin my IRock!!!

Hello everyone! Over at Scrapalicious USA we are changing things and you don't want to miss all the fun DAILY creativity from all the designers!!

This week we are all showcasing the IRock tool or IRock gems and stones!!

I created a cute set of 4 Christmas mini cards! 

I used the following:

IRock Tool

Basic Grey Paper/Figgy Pudding Line

EK Success Punch

Sentiment from Scrappy Moms

I used the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge on my Gypsy to create the cute set of cards. Cards measure 3.15x3.15. 

If you haven't checked out ScrapaliciousUSA prices you are missing out!!! For example: Ek Success Punch I used for my card is $15.99 at Joann, yes they have a 40% off and it comes out to $9.59 well, at Scrapalicious USA it is always! $7.50!! No waiting for sales!! Check them out!! You will like the store!!

Blog Hop Winner!! and a few things!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a fun and restful weekend! School time is almost here and I can't wait!!! My older boy is starting HIGH SCHOOL!!!!! and he is on the Football team!!! I have to admit something..... I do not like football! It just seems it can go on and on and on.............forever!!! I always wanted one of those stickers that read "Soccer Mom!" but none of my three boys liked it!!!!! I am hoping Abbita will!! ;) Worse thing is I have NO idea how football is played, so when I go see my son, I will not know what to get excited about!!! LOL

Anyways,  on to more crafty things! Last Saturday was Scrap Night over at Michelle's home! I love scrap nights!!! (btw she is a Peachy Keen Guest Designer this week and her projects are OVER THE MOON CUTE!!) I created three cards that night!! So happy because usually I just get one done! One was for a DT I will be on and the other two I made just for pleasure! It has been a while since I created something just because!! Here they are!!

The images were coloured in Photoshop! I will be creating a tutorial this week! I will post it on Friday!

Scrapalicious USA Challenge #13 Sketch!

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!! It is Scrapalicious USA challenge time again and this time we have an a CUTE sketch for you to find inspiration from!! The sketch is from PageMaps!! I <3 them!!

The entire Design Team is showcasing TrimCraft UK Paper! There is A LOT of variety to choose from! Go check it out!!

Here is my take on the sketch!!

That cute bear is not a stamp! It is one of the papers from the 6 x 6 stack I have from Trim Craft UK line Fizzy Moon paper.

Here are the materials I used:

Sentiment from Stamp Set

Fizzy Moon Paper

Pearls from collection

Here is the sketch!

I hope you get a chance to participate this week! Make sure you head on over to see what my design team sisters created for you!!!

Have a fun crafting time!!!

Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge #10 Anything Summer!!!!

I can't believe we are on our 10th challenge!! Wooohoooo!!! We had an awesome respond last week also! 

I have to tell you that Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenges are coming to an end this August. I am embarking in new adventures and will no longer be able to have these challenges. I LOVE my design team!! They are AWESOME!!! I have tried my best so that my team had fun with our challenges!! 

The reason I will no longer have the challenges is because I will be coming out with my own stamps and the reason I could not keep my team is because my stamps will be Spanish only sentiments and I need designers that cater to that. I will have more info on that later and will also be undergoing construction here on my blog!

We do have this challenge today and two more! So please don't miss these!!! 

The theme for this challenge is SUMMER!!!!

Create ANYTHING that has to do with SUMMER!!!

I created a card using: My Creative Time Stamps, The Greeting Farm stamp and Echo Park paper

Used an Action Wobble!
