For The Love Of Owls

It is my Grand Daughters 12th Birthday soon.  I have been racking my brain for something special for her.  She is a beautiful, loving, and very caring young lady.  When you ask her what she would like for her Birthday she always says I don't know, anything is fine.
What do you do for someone like that.  You want to make it special but boy, that is a hard one.  She has loved Owls for years now so when I see something with Owls on it I think of her.  When we go to the any wildlife place she wants to see the Owls.  She has done several reports at school on different kinds of Owls and how they live.  So you guessed it!  I will make her something with an Owl on it. In the Four Seasons Home Decor cartridge there is a 3D shadow box with an owl in it.

When you bring it into the Design Space it is different shades of the same color so I first ungrouped it and added different colors to each one closer to nature.  Then I copied and pasted another Owl one and used the hide contour button to make a darker silhouette that way I could add feathers and the branch would have different shades to it too. 

My Desk Calendar for 2014

I have been wanting to make an easel card calendar and I knew I had to make one now.  I do a calendar every year but they are usually smaller.  You can see last years calendar here.   So here is my take on it.  I used the Laughing Lola paper X7170B.  I printed a calendar that was on my computer.  The flowers were from the Art Philosophy cartridge Z1686. The stamp set is Horray Bouquet D1491 and you can see what else I have made with this stamp set here

You can change out the photos and the calendar as you like.  The calendar is just one that was on my computer but you can download them off the internet for free if you do a search for them.

I had made a fall wreath that just kept jumping off my wall.  It broke so may times that I could not repair it any more.  So now I use all the flowers and leaves on different projects.  I guess it never wanted to be a wall flower for one.  It wanted to be used and shared with many.  You can read all about my wreath here

The brads, photo clip, and ribbon are from my stash.  I love it when I get to use my stash.

Be sure to check out the while supplies last section here to see the great deals.

Altered Idea Book Box

I was cleaning up my scrapbook room/classroom trying to get more organized for my classes this month.  I had all my ribbon in a tub and it was a mess so I had to stop and figure out what to do with all of it.  I need to see it and I wanted to make it cute too!
I had a bunch of CTMH boxes and I wanted to re-purpose at least some of them rather than throwing them out in the recycling bin.
For some reason I seem to collect a lot of ribbon.  It is one of those things that you can not have enough. Am I right?
Well I garbed a older paper pack (because I don't have any of my new ones yet)!  Maybe you can guess which one I used.
Leave it in the Comments section if you know which one it is.

I left the flaps up and added some cardstock strips to keep the flaps in place.  The Ribbon in from my stash and the 2 felt pink flowers and the 1 grey felt flower were left from my Frosted WOTG kit.  The paper pink flower is from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge
Here it is in my Expedite from Ikea.

Now with the help of my DIL Jenn, off to clean the rest of it up.  Check back I will have more pictures of my scrapbook room as we get it organized again.   UGH  What an ongoing process that is.
Happy Scraping!

Peace Sign Birthday Card

Here is the card that I made for my Granddaughter Birthday.  Like I said in the last post she love Owls, Peace Signs, and Flower Power.  Funny that those are all thing that were big when I was young too.

I cut the card from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and the Peace Sign from the Cars Cricut Cartridge.  The Banner was a scrap piece that I had and just cut the ends out.  I popped up the peace sign with 3D foam tape Z1151

Butterflies in my Life CTMH/ Artiste

With all the rain and storms coming this week I guess I just needed a few Butterflies in my life.  We are supposed to be getting 12" or so of rain this week and that is a lot for us. 
Okay enough whining and on to my card.  I saw this on Pinterest and just had to make one.  I created it in my Gypsy by selecting the card shape and the the single shape itself.  If you want to see how just leave me a comment and I will make a video.  It is hard to explain but very easy to do.

You can see how the card was cut.  All products used are Close To My Heart.  I embossed the stamp A1120 Quick card Butterfly, you can see it here.  The branches and leaves were cut with the Art Philosophy and the Artiste cartridge along with the flowers and the butterfly.  I sponged with Sunset, Sky, and Twilight.  I use the Brown and Tan sparkles in the center of the flowers.
If you need to order anything just click on the Shop with Me button or here. 

You can use the CCR to do this as well but I don't always have an internet conection so I rely more on my Gypsy.

Clementine X7156B and My Creations Bracket Frame Z1797

I was playing with all my new products from Close To My Heart and decided to decorate my Bracket Frame Z1797.  I knew I wanted to use a picture of my Grand kids that I had hanging in my scrapbook room.  Because I have 2 Granddaughters and 1 Grandson I didn't want to make it to feminine.  I also knew I wanted to use the new Clementine Paper Pack X7156B.  Here is what I came up with.

I just love the Clementine Paper Pack it is so versatile.  I love how simple it is to cover the chipboard frame using the Art Philosophy cartridge I cut out the coordinating shape page 53 in the handbook.  I use the coordinating strip that comes with each paper on the bottom right corner of the frame.  I use the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut out the flower Accent1/Shift page 73 and leaves Accent3/Shift page 32.
Here are the products I used.
