Scrappin' Via Skype

Hey guys! Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful afternoon! Mom and I scrapped via webcams using Skype yesterday!!! It was so great to be back to scrappin'! We scrapped almost 12 hours I think! It was such fun!!! First, I had to cut some boardbooks. I cut a 'family' board book that will be in a beach theme for Mom. Then I cut out 2 Valentine's boardbooks. One of them is for me and the other for Mom. So I will have it decorated asap and share with ya! I'm very excited about it! So after cutting out board books, I got down to some other to do's. I had to cut out a few of my SVG files for Mom and for another friend. I cut out some kick line images for Mom. She is doing a 'dance line' boardbook for a young lady. I can't wait to see it!

So after all that, I got down to creating!!! I first made a card for my DT project at The Cuttlebug Spot. Since it is for The Cuttlebug Spot website, I can't debut it until tomorrow when the challenge debut's....but how about a teaser.....

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the full project and info on how you can join us for the challenge!!! :)

After creating the card, I had another project that I needed to finish up. As some of you know, I am a veteran designer for a wonderful blog called 'Unscripted Sketches.' The ladies over there are so nice and very talented. Well the owner, Jenny, wrote to me and asked me for a favor. She asked me to create an ATC (Artist Trading Card) for her. She is going to hang these cards from all of her scrappy friends on a bulletin board in her scrappy space! How cool is that idea??!!! It's like scrappin' on the walls. She asked us to create a card in our style with a picture on it. So here is what I came up with. These are definitely some of my favorite colors. Of course, what is a project without bling, ribbon, and trim!!! My faves! Here is the front of my ATC:

Love me some Thickers as well as ribbon/staples! I had to included those!

Then for the back I added a die cut card with a quote on it. It is not my favorite quote or anything, but I do like it. I also wrote a tad about myself as requested.

I hope Jenny will like this!!!

Next, as a favor for another online gal pal, Bobbi, I designed these NC State SVG's. I had posted them on my SVG blog and offered to cut one of each for her so she could add them to a scrappy project. Of course, it's not a gift from Aymee without Stickles glitter glue on it! LOL! Yall know how I am with my Stickles!

Last, I have a project that I've been wanting to share with yall for months. I participated in the Purple Cows contest. I did not make the semi-finals, so I thought I would share my project with you. It is a little box full of 24 drawers (which are matchboxes) that you pull out to count down the days until Christmas. Inside each box a little sweet treat is hidden. I used the Purple Cows laminator for this entire project. I love the laminating because it really helps the drawers to slide in/out easy. I found the instructions for this project on the SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) forum. I then cut out 24 matchboxes, laminated each piece, cut them out, folded, and adhered them together. Then I followed the instructions on how to put the box together and embellished. Here is a link to the instructions if you are interested:

Here is my finished project:

I pulled out a few of the drawers so you could see:

Inside the drawers Santa is peeking out at ya....

Even though I didn't win, I am still very proud of this project. I worked for almost a week on it and I know it will be a treasure in our home for years to come. I can't wait to have some kiddo's to pull open the drawers! :)

Oh, and be sure to check out what Mom accomplished yesterday! She was on a roll!
