I've been a very busy scrapper.......

Hi there SCRAPPY PEOPLE!!

I've been quite busy lately, but I think it is SNEAK PEEK TIME!

I am going to share 2 Projects with you that I've designed

for Scrap-a-Doodle Doo

that were made EXCLUSIVELY for the upcoming CKC ( Creating Keepsakes Convention) in LANCASTER, PA!!!

Are you going? The dates are JULY 27th - JULY 29th

- JUST 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!

THE DOO asked me to come up with some FUN, DIFFERENT

and "OUT OF THE BOX" Project Kits to offer at CKC,

and that is exactly what I tried to "DOO!"

I'll share 2 of them with you here!

Oh, and if you are going to CKC - be sure to head over to SCRAP-A-DOODLE DOO's BOOTH and pick one up before they are ALL GONE!! ALL of the CKC Kits are SPECIAL EDITIONS and there are LIMITED QUANTITIES, so if you want one be sure to get there early and grab one!! Wait until you see all the goodies they have in store for you this year!

First up is a "Recipe Stand" from KAISERCRAFT. While you can put a recipe on here to follow while you are cooking, you can also use this to DISPLAY you latest and greatest 12 x12 Layout, or even use it to hold open an Idea Book or Scrapbook Magazine for inspiration while working on a new project!

I love the BoBunny Weekend Market collection, and I thought it was PERFECT for this project - the stand looks great even on it's own without anything displayed on it - don't you think?? I've even added some BLING from ZVA and some vintage ribbon - it all comes in your kit, with complete instructions and color photos!

Below is the photo of the back - it is finished too - so it will display nicely in your home.

It would make a nice gift too - KIT COST is $40.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Next is a BIRTHDAY EXPLOSION BOX !!

Look at those "cool" paper candles (or would they be "hot?" LOL!)

And I really like how the paper "ribbon" came out too!

I created this box to be a mini album - as well as a gift card holder! 2 presents in one!! There are LOTS of places to put photos of the special day too! This KIT's COST is just $19.99 - and you can use the instructions to create it again and again - for all kinds of occasions!

I used paper from Imaginisce's "HELLO CUPCAKE" paper collection. I LOVE all the colors!!

This kit will also include full color photos of the "fronts" and "backs" of each "page" along with cutting / scoring instructions, paper piecing template (for the hat) buttons and this COOL YELLOW May Art's WEB WEAVE RIBBON - This stuff is my latest scrap "addiction!" ~ have you seen all the beautiful colors this stuff comes in?? - HOTNESS!!

So - like I said before, these are just 2 of the SPECIAL CKC Kits that Scrap-a-Doodle Doo will have available for sale at the event. Be sure to check all the goodies they are getting ready for you while you are there!

If you can not make it to CKC - then email THE DOO at customerservice@scrap-a-doodledoo.com if you would like to purchase these kits!

Thanks for stopping by ~ Happy Scrappin' !

OH MY WHAT DID I BUY!!!?? Nov 30th "HAUL" from Scrap-a-Doodle Doo!

Hubby and I are booked on a 14 night DISNEY Hawaiian Cruise that sets sail on OCT 14th, 2012 - that is just 2 days before our 30th Wedding Anniversary!!  When I saw this BEAUTIFUL Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue paper - I just KNEW I HAD to HAVE IT - -- NO wait I just KNEW that I "NEEDED" IT!!
(as with most scrap products - it is a NEED thing with me!)  SO - don't cha think it will be the PERFECT paper to scrap our Trip of a Life time!  I bought the PAPER PACK, STICKER SHEET and the 2 COORDINATING CHIPBOARDS!!! WOO HOO!!
While I was there - I had to pick up some Tattered Angels GLIMMER MIST ( aka my "elixir of life) - JUST LOVE the new  ICICLE BLUE,MONSTER MASH,, L.E.D. RED, and BUBBLE LIGHT GREEN - I think they will go GREAT this this line too!
Check out the HOT NEW THICKERS PLEASE!!  The GOLD "Sunrise" are just so SHINY - and LOOK at the 2 NEW ones from amy tangerine!! WOWZERS!! the "HELLO" fonts are printed fabric, like a canvas texture - with faux stitching - I LOVE the brown and the green!  SOO COOL!

So - what do you think!  Is this a COOL HAUL or what??

Another Sneak Peek for Oct 21st Shadow Box Class

Here is another SNEAK PEEK of the Shadow Box Class I will be teaching at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo, in Ramsey, NJ on October 21st, Friday night, at 6:30PM. COST is $35.00 per person

The actual frame opening for your photo is 4"x 6" horizontally. I actually printed out my photo using Photoshop - adding a vintage boarder and Sepia tones, a little smaller than the 4x6 photo paper. it had a white boarder around it - which I then tore @ 1/4 "+ around the edges and inked the tears with Ranger Distress Stain - and then placed it on an angle within the frame-this way you still see the beautiful paper underneath!

The project has a very "Vintage" feel, and elements read "imagine the possibilities" and "always dream BIG"


THIS CLASS IS LIMITED TO ONLY 9 STUDENTS


- so reserve your seat ASAP by calling 201 818 7060


The frame itself is made of finished black wood, and measures 9 1/2 x 11 1/2 on the outside. Inside work surface is 8 x 10. It has @ 3/4" depth and can be hung up, or positioned on a shelf or table, as it has a back "leg" like a picture frame does too.



You will be using BoBunny's ETC. line, along with some paper from Simple Stories Generations line. I LOVE to mix and match paper lines when the colors and patterns compliment each other so well! We will also be painting with Glimmer Mist, and changing the colors of some of the elements with Glimmer Glaze. We'll use the new Tim Holtz Distress Stains, and I'll show you some cool water distressing techniques to make a cool 3D frame, as well as a layered flower. We will also use Pearl Pens by Viva Decor, along with some Maya Road metal embellishments and some HOT beaded fringe.


If you would like to take this class - PLEASE call the store at 201 818 7060 ASAP to reserve your seat.
Let me know if you have any questions - I hope you can join me - You are going to LOVE it!!






Thank you,


Sherri
