Flowers Holder for the Wall/Door

It's such a nice sunny day here in Grand Junction. I didn't get a good sleep last night because keep thinking about a crafting project to do with all the goodies I bought lastweek.

Even though I was so tired this morning I still dig myself out of the bed and get out to enjoy sunny Sunday.

I have come across a really fabulous challenge on Crate Paper blog. It's color challange host by Tara Anderson.

I usually didn't get to submit my work on challenges because I hardly finish it before deadline. But since I have plenty times in hand now it's easier to finish it on time.

Color Challenge are my most favorite challenge because some times I have hardtime matching color then my work turn out to be really ugly and all over place.

This month color challenge on Crate Paper blog is Rasberry,Petal Pink and Apricot.

It's totally perfect to use their new collection ( Random, Farmhouse )

All the supplies I use beside Fabric are 6x6 Paperpad from Random, Farmhouse collection I also added some embellishment using chipboard sticker from Random and Emme's Shoppe collection.

It took me forever to figured the way how to hang it and I ended up using this brass hanger from drycleaner service.

It's so easy to make beside when I tried to sew clear vinly on them hmmmm !! almost break my sewing machine. So I decided not to use it lol

I have cut 6x6 paper into half then embellished them and sew them on top on the fabric that I have pre-sewn .

I couldn't find a perfect place to hang this lovely thing yet but I'm planing on hang it at the front door ( outside ) that way my neighbors get to enjoy it as well :P

After I finish with this project I still have times to finish some cute little cards. Ahhh love having time to create ♪ ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫

Paper Container from Flatrate Mail Box

Yesterday I have recieved items that I ordered from ebay. It's all the pretty papers from Crate paper new collection ( Random, Papermint ) While I was so excited about all the goodies I have worries and asked myself where can I store them since my 12x12 plastic draw are filled up.

Then I looked at package that store on ebay ( yourscrapbooksupply ) ship it to me .They have packed it nicely and everythings fit in there perfectly so I had an Idea how to store all my pretty papers including chipboard stickers which is size 12x12 that I hardly find space to fit them as well.

So I start to measure and cut up the box  then it turned out really perfect also take less space on my desk  than old plastice container.

Here is how I made it

1. Start with Medium Flatrate Priority mail box then assembly them together.

2. Then draw a line from one side of the box depends on how high you want the papers to be visible. I make it 6.5 inches then draw it to another corner.

3. Cut along that line you just drew it's kind of tricky if you use scissor but if you have box cutter I would suggest you to use it.

That's it !!! How easy, right ?  Its perfectly fit all my paper also wayyyyyy easier than mmy old plastic storage.

I have decorate mine with October Afternoon 5&dimes collection 8x8 Paper and card stock sticker then label them.

I didn't cover the whole box because they will be invisible anyway lol so I decided to save my paper for another project instead



This whole project only take me 30 mins. Easy and fast that's how I like to cratf :p

Have a great day everyone.

It's more than just sewing machine :P

I have always been jealous of all those who have neat , pretty sticthes  on there scrapbooking page. Couple months ago I bought SewEasy they are nice and work really great also have all kind of different stitch but ... It's a lot of time consuming which is not my kind lol so when I using sew easy I always mess it up.

I decided to buy a sewing machine for my sewing and quilting project but I didn't want to spent on just a sewing machine because I kind of know that I love sewing so instead of I have to buy another machine later on I just bought a sewing+embroidery machine LB 6800 from Brothers. It's really easy to use. I fall in love with my new sewing machine right away.

So I couldn't wait to use it on my scrapbook page.

This is what I came up with.

This machine offer you more than 67 kind of stitches so I have use several of them for title block.

supplies : Crate Paper Emma's shoppe,The girls paperie Kitch Collection,Tim Holtz Film Strips,Jenni Bowling Bingo Card

From now on I don't need to be jealous of anyone about stitching anymore because I can have my own now.  I'm still working on some sewing project ..sewing isn't that hard for me but follow instructions and pattern that's the hardest part for me :P

Crate Paper jeans Braclet

It's weekend whoop whoop :P I just bought my own first and ever sewing machine. It's Brother LB6800. I love it so much !! have a lot of fun working on project to another project. I start sewing doesn't mean I gonna quit scrapbooking tho because I still love looking at all the pictures and pretty paper.

So here I mix them together by making a bracelet with combination of my favorite crate paper collection of all. Also I added a picture of me and my hubby on this bracelet that way I can have him close to me all the time.

I just sew this bracelet using denim I got from hobby lobby and sewed lace on the center. Added handmade charms that filled with our picture and a tiny piece of Emma's shope paper.

To give it more detail I added buttons from the same collection. It turn out really cute and I've been wearing it with anything and even I don't have it on my wrist I tied it on my purse.

Enjoy your weekend everyone !!

Art Festival in Cute little town

My hubby have told me so many times about a small mountain town called Beaver Creek. He kept telling me how beautiful it is and how much I would like it.

So last weekend when I woke up he told me to get ready .. As usual it took me forever to decide what to wear lol

Beaver creek is about 2 hours away from Grand Junction so basically it's half way to Denver. When we got there it was really really busy. Every shuttles that goes up there are full. We waited in the sun for almost 30 mins thx goodness I didn't forget my umbrella otherwise I would pass out in the sun.

Once we got in the town of Beaver Creek we walked around and stopped in so many stores. There are a lots of cute home deco and gift shop stores also some of wonderful art gallery !!








I'm so enjoy all the art work and shops. We had stop at one gelato ice-cream shop and have some melon sherbet ice-cream. It was the best melon sherbet I ever had !!







We were plan to spent a night there but all the hotel are booked . Seems like Art festival mess up our plan but well.. I get to see all the wonderful stuffs . What else could I asked for right ?

Have a great weekend

Easy Scrap Layouts

One week has gone by so quick. I'm feeling like haven't get anything done even thought I have finish close to 10 Lay outs but there are so many more pictures that need to be put on pretty little lay out.

Since I have so many project that need to get done so i try to do a lot of quick lay outs but beautiful by using a lot of sprayink and add some cute little embellishments.

Ooh and I just figured out how to get all the pictures to turn out the way I wanted and make sure I won't have a bad surprise when I pick them up from store...

Just like wisemen said if you want something to be done right you just gotta do it yourself so I bought HP photo paper and print it myself at home. I have believe that it's cheaper for me to ordered print via Walgreens but overtime since I start scrapbooking, I've thrown a lot of my pictures away because color and photos quality didn't turn out exactly the way I want them to. And a lot of time I didn't get my layouts done because I have to wait for my pictures since I can just print it at home now I can just edit my picture and print it right away. Yippyyyy

Here come all my easy layouts for this week.

My bight colorful layout using sassafra lass Sweetly Smitten paper

Easy simple layout. This lay out take me less than 10 mins !!

Another simple layout using embellishments from October Afternoon

I added a little bit of detail on this LO ( just a little bit tho )

Using tulle as photomat give some texture and make this layout looks softer.

With all the cute little embellishments.

This is 8x8 layout using paper from basicgrey and added some vintage lace on picture boarder.

I distressed page's adge to make it look a liitle more vintage.

Most of all these layouts I didn't spent a lot of time on them but turn out really cute and simple !! Most of the time I spent is to find the right color combination for them which is kinda hard for me since every color are my favorite . Also all the pattern papers are so cute !!! So I think my main problem is I HAVE TOO MUCH SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLY lol

Have a great weekend !!!

Make my own Spray ink.

Yesterday while I was looking around my scrapbooking supplies I couldn't find any spray ink that will match the page that I'm going to make.

But then I look trhu all my acrylic paint and I found a really gorgeous Aqua color I was thinking about using it as the way I normally use by using the brush but I thought Hmmm may be I should try make my own spray ink.

I dig thru my toilettry cabinet and found a travel mist bottle, perfect !!!

So this is what I came up with ..

Make sure you pour acrylic paint in the bottle first then pour water  just slightly a little bit more than acrylic color.

Then shake well, really well...

Now they mix together let's try to spray it !!

I just spray it on my scrap paper just to make sure it's working right lol It turned out exactly how I wanted it !!! I'm so happy that my idea is working so now I'm going to have all the sray ink in color that I wanted.

woo hoo !!
