Purplies Design Team Challenge

                Welcome to Our Design Team Challenge
Kari had given us the challenge of making a flower. As you travel through the Purplies Design Team Blogs you are going to see some amazing flowers and the recipes to make them. I hope your as excited as I am, cause I love love love making flowers :)
     My favorite flowers are the ones that look beautiful but are easy peasy to make LOL... which the brings you to mine (hehehe)

This flower is sooo easy to make.
                                            ~~recipe~~ 
Flower Shoppe Cartridge
2 <sunflower> @ 3 inches
1 <sunflower > @ 2 1/2 inches
1 <scallope> @ 2 inches
glitter glue and 4 pearl picks
ink pads ( I used red,white and ditressing brown)

               Before you start to assemble your flower now is the time to use your ink pads. I used the Tim Holtz Distressing Ink -vintage photo first on the edges of all the petals, then went over it in red. I took a white ink pad and just dabbed all the cuts.just to break up all that pink. now your ready to assemble your flower...
                    
                Stack flower petals on top of each other ( biggest petal on bottom) stagger the petals , roll the scallope cut up, be sure to glue it as you go or it will loosen up and come unraveled ( I know from experience )
after the scallope is completely rolled up, glue it to the center of the sunflower petals. I rolled the petals of the sunflower around the handle of a small paint brush to give them a little curve.
                I added the pearle picks to the center beneath the scalloped flower. Then I added glitter glue to the edges of all the petals so the would catch light ( I love glitter)  and show a little diminsion.  There you have an easy flower. I hope you like it.
             Thank you for stopping by my Blog today . Be sure to stop by my DT sister's Blogs and see their beautiful flowers as well.
                                Have A Blessed Day

I made a scrapbook layout for my project today. This layout is of my youngest daughter Mckenzie's concert. She recently just awarded 2 Gold medals for her performaces . Yes, I think she's awesome !! She is a very talented young lady.
My Favorite quote is by Hans Christain Anderson " Where words fail, Music speaks."  and it's so true, isn't it?

I Used the Quarter Note cartridge to make this layout. I highlighted Mckenzie by cutting and oval in vellum, placed over her pic .I painted glitter on the vellum (not real happy with that effect) because the vellum looked to plain. I will def try another effect instead of the glitter next time :)

I always leave the layouts I do for Mckenzie's scrapbook a little plain because she likes to add names/ dates and other info to her book.

Well there it is, I hope you like it. Oh by the way I LOVE this cart. if your child is in band or plays any instrumement at all I do recommended it. All 3 of my kids play something so my cart will gets used alot LOL. Be Blessed.

This is my first Design Team Project for Kari’s Junior Purplies and you can find the complete Design Team projects at http://purplefuntastickcreations.blogspot.com/ . Her instructions were simple – we were to do a Love project and think out of the box and yes it can be anything paper related or home decor just don't do a card...along with trying to be different!..
This is my project Love project thinking outside of the box
...It's a mini made out of an altiod tin. I made it for my youngest daughter.

I sanded the tin a little just so the surface wouldn't be so slick.

I measured my paper, glued it to the tin, then added lace and ribbon. Inside the top lid I glued paper and wrote how proud I am of her.

This is the completed project.

  I hope you enjoyed my Junior Purplies DT project. I hope you'll visit Rachelle,Lisa and Andrea and see the awesome projects they created...Thanks for stopping .

Something New

                     Hello to all my crafty friends.Thanks for stopping by today. I know alot of  you are already doing the digi- stamping. But I had not tried it till this week.  It was alot more fun than I thought it would be. Honestly I love the simplicity of  cutting all my pieces from my Cricut ( yeah, I'm Lazy ) but I thought it was time I expanded my crafting skills just a little *giggles*. I'm glad I did because I really like them now...OK yeah I'm hooked. :)
    So if you still haven't tried it...here's how I got started... I went to Jen's Digi-Stamp Blog...  http://jensdigistamps.blogspot.com/
She has a  Freebie Friday on her blog. Copy the image , Jen suggested copying it on white card stock. Then drag out your colored pencils, markers , water colors or even crayons if you want to involve the kids. (I happen to love to color *hehehe*)...Jen also mentioned they could be flipped and re-sized before you print them out. So there you go...if your a newbie like me than you have a new creative portal to.
    here's what I did with my free digi-stamp from Jen's...

I hope you like it...happy creating and have a blessed day :)...Oh yeah, don't forget to go by Jen's Blog for more ideas from her and her Design Team...Thanks for stopping by my lil' spot.

        Here's my card for the Vintage Christas in July Blog Hop. I love the way this image turned out on this card. It was actually a calender that was scanned in my computer, res-sized and a few things added  with photo shop. Then cropped and layered onto vintage Christmas themed paper (sorry if that part doesn't show very well)...I  used my sewing machine to make paper ruffles and added them to the side. I hope you like it.
