A Fun Swap...

I thought I'd share a few quick photos of some ATC (artist trading cards) I made for a "winter wonderland themed" swap I recently finished. This is my first time with atc's and they were so much fun! I'm planning to host a little swap of my own here on the blog, so stay tuned for details and be sure to join in for some Christmas fun!


I copied some fun vintage embroidery snowman patterns, cut them out and inked them, coated them with diamond glaze, and then sprinkled them with superfine white glitter. It's hard to tell from they photos, but they sure are sparkly!

I can't wait to see the cards I receive from the other ladies over at the Coconut ScrapShop! Yeah! I'll be sure to show them to you when they arrive!

Coconut ScrapShop October Kit

I just wanted to let you know that cute fall kit from the Coconut ScrapShop is up for sale! I'm so excited that they are featuring some of my Pink Owl goodies! Thanks Jenn! Be sure and go check it out, they have a limited amount of kits so don't miss out. I love the unique embellishments like the leaf cupcake pics (I love to use cupcake pics on my pages and projects!) and the mini cookie cutter; sooo fun! You know me, always looking for something new I can turn into a scrapbook embellishment. This is a really beautiful kit, the papers and rubons are stunning, so get shopping!

I've been busy finishing up orders and getting ready for craft show season. This time of year is always so busy! I have some new projects to show you and some fun ideas for holiday decor coming too. Stay tuned....I've also got updates on the holiday craft days I'm going to have on the blog and some specials in the shop as well.

Coconut Scrapshop Inspiration!

Ok everyone, are you ready for some serious fall eye candy? I was asked by the wonderful Jen who runs the Coconut Scrapshop to be a part of their October kit of the month. They included my Fall Fun Glittered Artisan Labels and pieces from the Autumn Splendor Embellishment kit. I had so much fun making all those goodies! I have been a little addicted to orange glitter lately, so you can imagine my delight when I got to use it on everything! I wanted to show you some of the amazing projects the Coconut Scrapshop's Design Team came up with using the kit. You HAVE to go there and check it out! The kit looks like its going to be amazing, it's not up for sale quite yet, but you get the idea from the photos. They do an amazing job picking things out, and I love all the vintage touches too!

Look at all those fabulous layers! I just love the trims and papers is this kit. Those are the felt leaves from my Autumn Splendor Kit.

She used one of the artisan labels here and added "happy" to it, great idea! I love how she used all those buttons on the card too.
These 2 projects were done by Grace from the Design Team. I just love the wall hanging. I'm such a project girl, it's right up my alley. Those little leaf cupcake pics are soooo cute too. See, I told you it was a fun kit!


This kit is loaded with buttons, YEAH! Here's another use for the artisan labels.

This is so adorable! Look at all that wonderful stitching! She used the felt leaves and the vintage image journaling blocks.

What a clever gal! She used a cookie cutter dipped in paint to make the leaf shapes on the background paper. We all have to try that one! She also used one of the vintage image blocks from my Autumn Splendor kit.
These 2 layouts and the card were done by Pamela of the Design Team. What a fabulous bunch of creations! Love them!



These papers are so rich in color, perfect inspiration for the season! I love all those detail photos of fall how fun, and the journaling around the papers, super cute. She used more of the vintage image blocks here too.
This layout was done by Cheryl of the Design Team. I can't wait to see what else she does with her kit!

Wow! Jen did a great job putting such a talented group of women on her Design Team. I look forward to seeing what they all come up with! Be sure to go check the design team (I didn't show all the ideas and I think they have more coming) and Coconut Scrapshop out. They only do a limited amount of kits, so be sure to snag one up quickly. Thanks soooo much Jen for including me! Thanks to the Design Team too for letting me post your goodies!
