Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop!!

Wednesday, July 3, 2013


Are you ready to have some fun?!! Good! Because that is the theme of this blog hop.... 

Girls just wanna have fun!



The best part about this.... pretty much anything that has to do with girls having fun qualifies for this one! We just want you to have fun!!! 

Here are some ideas.....Mums, daughters, girlfriends, sisters, mother in laws, could be any photo you've had with any other lady in your life, a photo you have with mum on your wedding day, or you and your daughter on a holiday, even a party with the girlfriends, the list goes on. If it's a card or OTP project, it just has to be girly, the more girly the better.



We have 2 fabulous sponsors for our Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop.... 


The first sponsor is Artsy Albums!!! 


My name is Traci and I have been creating scrapbooks since I was in high school. I have also been married to my high-school sweetheart for 24 years and we have two wonderful boys -- one in college and one in high school. 

After a 17 year career in the pharmaceutical industry that just didn't tap into my creative side enough, I retired and went to work in the scrapbook industry. I have enjoyed designing albums, store samples, classes, and kits so much that I recently decided to take a leap of faith and open my own company.

Artsy Albums is a product of a deeply rooted passion. After losing my mom to breast cancer when I was a teenager, I learned the importance of our memories, the pictures we take, and the stories that may never get told if we do not document them. I truly love to create beautiful albums that focus on the photos and the stories behind them. I also enjoy creating mini album kits that are fun to put together, easy, and affordable. If you love to scrapbook, try an Artsy Albums kit to create your next project!

I always welcome the opportunity to help you turn your photos into a keepsake that will be shared for generations.  www.facebook.com/artsyalbums

Tutorial Tuesday with Felicity!

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

Hi there :) Felicity here today to share with you a little step x step on how I created a mixed media tag.


Step 1:  First I cut out  a  tag shape using some canvas as my background. I then applied some Gesso and then I used a Prima marketing stencil wit some texture paste.  I then used the sewing machine to machine stitch a border.

Step 2: Once all that was dried, I then used some twinkling H2O's to create a watercolour affect background.

Step 3: Then using a few scraps of paper I started layering some papers and destressing the edges. I also popped in random pieces of distressed musclin wrap, to add some more texture.

Step 4: I then started working on my cluster of flowers. I just choose out different flowers in different colours and sizes and layed them too.

Step 5: then to finish the tag off I add a ribbon bow, some more muslin and cute little Prima martketing trinket zipper.

I hope I have inspired you today to get out the paints and sprays and have some happy messy fun!

Elizabeth
Kansas


My name is Elizabeth Currie-Matsko. I am a wife and a mother to 3 boys.  I used to be a professional makeup artist, but now papercrafting is my passion.  I love making cards and "off the page" items.  I enjoy crafting with a variety of mediums everything from paint and ink to dies to Cricut and Cameo.  My style is a blend of feminine and grunge. Besides papercrafting, I love to read and play golf. I am thrilled to be on such a talented team and look forward to sharing my creativity.

HI :))) I am Felicity Wilson, married to wonderful husband and a Mummy to two little boys! I have always been a crafty kinda girl, but I guess scrapbooking came about mainly when my son was born. I scrapped before that, mainly good ole ‘selfies’!!! But now I am into it hook, line and sinker!! I love putting different textures together, colour, reminiscing about a photo....

I am a White paper covered in the colours of the rainbow with lots of fibres to make it lumpy and bumpy, type of scrapper!! Through in a bit of mixed media & a bit of simple and stylish  and thats me! 

I love  creating in my art journals, scrapbooking pages, cards and the odd mini album is thrown in for good measure!! tee hee


Lori
Nebraska

I am married and have 3 dirty, stinky boys.  I am a baseball mom and spend my spring and summer cleaning dirt stained pants - and love it!!  I have an in-home daycare which allows me to work at home with cute little people as well as be home when my boys are home.  I craft to de-stress and spent most of my craft time scrapbooking.  Lately I have been creating projects for my son's high school graduation party.

I've been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 25 years and we have two wonderful boys, both seniors this year (high school and college).  I've been a scrapbooker since high school. Right after losing my mom to breast cancer when I was 19, I started scrapbooking as a way to hold on to memories of her.  Of course, this turned into scrapbooking everything -- prom napkins, movie tickets, and my boy friends chewing gum!  I have loved paper crafting ever since.  After working for a national scrapbook store for 6 years, I ventured out on my own in 2011, and opened Artsy Albums, an online custom design and mini album kit company.  I wake up everyday thrilled to get down to my creative space and start playing with paper -- I truly love what I do.


Texas

I am a rabid scrapbooker, and a dabble in altered projects from time to time. I am a wife, a SAHM whose kids have flown the coop, a gardener, a Girl Scout Volunteer and a life long crafter. I keep busy these days redoing my house and yard, and I am getting ready to get my first flock of chickens this coming spring - their new house is on the way!!  My scrapbooking addiction started a few years ago when I decided to make one small album about our Disney World trip. HAH! A custom built studio and a whole lot of money later, here we are. I have the best husband ever - as long as there is dinner on the table and the cable bill is paid he doesn't care what I spend. I love this art form! My style changes  a little here and there, but one thing remains the same - I am not a fan of "less is more". Less is less and more is better, and white space is my enemy.

Hi! I'm Barb and I am the leader here at Frosted Designs! I started scrapbooking 20 years ago when the only tools we had were fancy scissors, colored cardstock and a few stickers! Boy, has scrapbooking come a long way since then! And the best part of scrapbooking/paper crafting? Meeting friends from all over the world! I have been fortunate enough to have been on several different design teams and I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have met along the way! Recently, my family had some good news to share and it was my crafty friends that I couldn't wait to tell! I would be lost without them... especially this wonderful group of ladies here at Frosted Designs!
