April SOTM Blog Hop for Sunshine Fun!

Thanks for visiting my Scrapi site for all things crafty and scrapi! If you've come from Krista Ritskes' blog, then you are on the right track for our April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for My Sunshine, one of my favorite SOTM's from this Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book. With eight "summer" stamp images, many of which coordinate with our Cricut Artiste cartridge, it's incredibly versatile for lots of projects.

After the chilly Spring Break we just had in Virginia, it made me happy to work on a sunny one page scrapbook layout. I am so looking forward to summer . . .

My "Sunshine" layout features the Surf's Up paper (and zip strip) with lagoon, outdoor denim, crystal blue and honey cardstocks, chevron ribbon, color-ready trinkets wooden shapes, wooden buttons and Cricut Artiste cut images (to coordinate with the My Sunshine stamp set plus the sun and title images).

I hope you my project and take a moment to leave me a comment (so fun to read!).

Now on to your next stop - Angel Sawyer's blog - to see what wonderful artwork she has come up with. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the blog hop!  If you should get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list at Helen Onulak's blog. Happy scrappin'!

Spellbound "Happy Birthday" Layout

Here's another layout to add to my "Workshop On the Go Spellbound Cricut Kit" project series!  I really wanted to show how fabulous this kit is, even if you may not have party needs this year. You definitely don't want to miss out on this kit.

The layout is from the CTMH new "Make It from Your Heart", Volume I, Pattern #5.  The cupcake and "birthday wishes (tag that I cut in half) are from the birthday stamp in the Cricut Artiste Collection. The letters are the Glamour Glitter Alphabet letters. I embellished the layout with Bitty Sparkles on the cupcake, added Just Blooms Floret Paper Shapes with Baker's Twine. Super fun, and of course, CTMH all the way.

During my "Moonlight" class yesterday, the ladies were so excited by these projects that they begged me to add a "Spellbound" class to my schedule next month!! Love that!

"Hooray" for Spellbound Card

Here's another fun card that I made with CTMH's new WOTG Spellbound Cricut Kit to show how this kit has so many more options for you besides just a party in a bag!  Besides the super fun Spellbound paper, the shapes are from CTMH's Cricut Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges, and the "hooray" imagei is from the Artiste Collection stamp set. Card layout is from "Make It From Your Heart" Volume I, pattern 24. I finished the card off with buttons from the Sunset Mini-Medley, Sunset Baker's Twine and sparkles from the Black and Grey Assortment. I hope you like it!

Artiste 3-D Projects A Hit with Scrapi Kids

Today is the last day of a week long Scrapi Traci Kid's Summer Camp that I offer every summer!  This year I had twelve girls from 2nd grade all the way up to 7th grade participating.  Each morning we put together two scrapbook layouts, then work on our own pages and finish the morning with a project.  For today's project, they each got to pick out one of the awesome 3-D Objects from the NEW Cricut Artiste Cartridge Collection.  

I have raving reviews from my Scrapi kids for this new cartridge. We spent hours putting together several of the cool new creations.  Check out my Scrapi girls below - Stephanie and Callie - with their Artiste "mailboxes".  Just love how they even (all on their own) came up with a stand for their mailboxes!  Fabulous!!!
