Stampin' UP In good taste and Tasteful touches Meets Freshly Made Sketches

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have been super busy lately crafting for my little shop. I love that I have a place to share my crafty projects and cards!  

I needed to make an Anniversary card  and went to my favorite Sketch Blogs.  I love the Sketch below from Freshly Made Sketches.

I paired it with Stampin' Up! DSP In Good Taste and Tasteful Touches Stamp set.  I also used SU Cajun Craze Cardstock.  I love this color!!  It is also a Fun fold card as well.  

I hope you are "Finding Joy in Cre8ting!"  

Thanks for stopping by!

Harley-Davidson Birthday card and Paper Players Challenge

Happy Friday!!  So sorry I haven't shared lately.  I opened a "little shop" and have been busy keeping it stocked and taking special orders!

But I did have time to play in the Paper Players Challenge.  Thank Goodness for the Masculine card challenge.  I really have a hard time doing male cards sometimes.  So I pulled out a Fabric Fat Quarter I recently acquired at a cute scrapbook, card and quilt store in Pennsylvania called the Farmhouse Memories.  Harley Davidson cards here I come!!

Summer of #Rona & Paper Craft Crew Sketch

Happy Friday!!!

I hope you are all finding time to be Crafty!!!  

I was online and looking through my Favorite blogs and sketches to get inspiration for a single picture I wanted to scrap.  Well a card sketch from Paper Craft Crew caught my eye and I was inspired!  I am terrible at times of scrapping that "one" picture. And I didn't want to worry about alot of extra space on a  12 x 12 layout.  So I made it into a 8 1/2 x 11 LO.  

I do love the way this turned out.  As you all know it's been a Crazy year with COVID and the summer days just haven't been the same.  But we at "The Willers" try to make the best of it.  Here's my layout I came up with for my Rona pic!

Here's the Sketch

It's actually a picture I took on "Snapchat" and I had it printed.  The Title is cut out with the Stampin Up Playful Alphabet dies

I also used the flower dies from the Stampin Up Many Layers Blossoms dies.

I LOVE both of them and can't wait to use them again!!  

So little time........... So MUCH Crafting to be done!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Prince layout with Sketch N Scrap Sketch

Happy Hump Day!!  I hope all of you are Healthy & Happy!  Are there other things that make you Happy besides crafting?  I love music.  And I really Love Prince and all of his music.  Did you know he knew how to play over 27 instruments?  That he wrote sooo many songs that he often shared them with other Artists to sing?  Even with him gone I still listen to him.  His birthday is June 7th.  So of course I had to "Celebrate"  his Birthday and listen to his music and drink red wine ( He loved Red wine).   And as a Scrapbooker of course I took pictures!! :-)

I was looking at sketches and found a sketch from Sketch N Scrap to give me a layout and starting point for this page.  The paper pack from DCWV Zodiac  was on my crafty table and PERFECT!!  I also found a 12 x 12 single piece of paper with "Prince" lyrics to pull it all together!  I love it!    Oh and I made that Prince Wine glass.  Can you tell I am a BIG FAN!? 

Here is the layout I came up with.  

Here is the Sketch.  I did flip it around to "fit" the Pictures that I had.  Isn't that the Great thing about sketches?

I hope you are finding time to craft and are feeling "JOY".

Mardi Gras Scrapbook Layout & TGIF Color Challenge!

Hello Crafty Friends!  

Thank you for stopping by!  Today I am sharing a Scrapbook layout I made using the color challenge from the  TGIF Challenge blog.  

The Colors are Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  The Colors were reminding me of  a Mardi Gras picture I needed to scrap.  Of course I did have to add a pop of "yellow" as well.  It couldn't be Mardi Gras with out the yellow gold color popping in! 

Here's my layout-

  

I had alot of fun doing this layout!!  The Louisiana state and beads were cut on my cricut.   I had the perfect Zodiac paper pack from DCWV that I bought at Hobby Lobby.  It has the magenta and grape color I was looking for.

I think I  may play with that paper pack some more so stay tuned!!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!! Stampin' up & Case this Sketch!

Happy Friday!  It's a cloudy & rainy day in Maryland.  It is a great day to be Crafty!!  I can't express how much I am still so in love with this Stampin' up     Forever Greenery suite!  I just love the colors and that everything matches perfectly!  Makes it easy to create with!  

I also used a sketch from Case this Sketch! for my card.  You can see the Sketch below!  I love to join in on the challenges!    

Here is my card I created.  I used  the embossing folder that matches this suite.  It really can be used on many different cards.  I filled the space behind my sentiment with tons of "greenery" behind it, and used the gold hoop as well.  It looks Fresh & Ferny (is that a word? lol) 

As always please let me know if you have any questions about products used!!

Monday Monday........

It's Monday!!  And I have been off for over a week!!  Got a lot done around the house and crafted with some friends over a long weekend.  I challenged myself to BASH YOUR STASH!  I have (don't we all) so much paper and embellishments that I need to use up!  

I actually got 11 layouts done too!!  Felt great to scrapbook again!!  I often turn to cards because I can create those easier and in less time.  

Well I looked at Sketch N Scrap for a scrapbook layout sketch. And found the perfect one for my picture of us kayaking.

Here's my scrapbook layout-  It is quite FULL of layers and helped bash my stash a bit. 

And here is the sketch-

I did change it up a bit since I had a 5 x 7 picture.  I used so many "pieces" from different paper lines but the colors went well together.  

Hope you are being crafty & are safe & healthy!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' Up Ornate garden meets Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge!

Happy Tuesday Everyone.  It has been SUPER hot here in Maryland! And I am off all week and enjoying some crafting time when I can!  I have been able to go kayaking ( early in the morning to beat the heat!) and go to a friends pool to cool off.  But with times the way they are we are all being very careful here in Maryland.    I hope you are staying safe & healthy as well!

I am sharing a card I made for my sister in laws birthday that is coming up.  I just got in some new product from Stampin' Up! and wanted to play with the new Ornate Garden Paper that was calling my name!!  It was Perfect for the color combo I wanted to do for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge!

I love this challenge because you could choose the sketch, color scheme or the photo!!   I chose the color and layout for my card!

So I set to work to make this card.  Now I have to say it was quite Fun & Challenging for me!  You see the paper I choose is just a gold foiled flower pattern.  So I used markers to color all the flowers and leaves on the bottom strip and for the flowers that are the focal point.  I am trying to learn more as I keep working at it.  But I know my sis-in-law will love it!

I used various Stampin' Up products on this card. If you have any questions just let me know!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' UP! Playing with Patterns meets Case this Sketch Challenge and Global Designs Color Challenge!

Happy Friday!!  I hope you are all safe & healthy!!   And taking time to be positive and "Find Joy"! 

I find Joy in crafting as many of you do.  And I love Challenges!!! This week I am combining my New Stampin' UP! Playing with Patterns suite with not just One Challenge but TWO!!  

Go BIG or GO HOME!  :-)  I first picked my card sketch from this weeks Case this Sketch Blog  - What a Great sketch it is for many different types of cards!!  And then I decided to use the  Color Challenge from Global Design Projects.

After picking these challenges I set to work to make a Birthday card.  I NEVER have enough!  And I just love the Playing with Patterns DSP and the NEW Awesome matching Alphabet letter dies  "Playful Patterns".   So many ideas are shown on SU and in the catty to use these letters!  

I did use the cake stamp from a recent Pumpkin Patch because it just "fit" better then some of the other stamps I had out.  And I am pleased with the final card.  

Here is the card I made.  I did add some final details of faux stitching, flowers and pearls.  And some Wink of Stella on the cake flowers that's hard to see on the pic.   

Here is the sketch -

And the Color challenge!
