A Splashin' Good Time - Boys Rule & Artful Delight

Have you see the July Boys Rule kit? I'm lovin' it! All those bright colors and fun designs and so many cute embellies! Yes, please!!!
This kit is sold out.

Today I'm sharing a layout I created that features my son and nephew enjoying their mini waterslide :)

I had a lot of fun with this page! Plenty of fussy cuts and a bunch of white pen doodles. I also used the green, orange and red Momento markers from a Boys Rule kit a couple months ago. I really like the Smooch Spritz splatter on the cardstock frame, too. 

I used this sketch from Artful Delight, designed by yours truly.. and linked up to the sketch challenge :)

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!!

scootin by to say hi - Artful Delight (and a farewell.. kinda)

One year ago this month, my friend April was on the Artful Delight monthly kits design team. I remember telling her how much I loved the AD kits and how happy I was for her (and jealous! lol) that she was on the AD DT. Well April sweetly passed my comments on because shortly after that conversation, Leeanne (the owner of Artful Delight) emailed me inviting me to join the AD team. I was like "OMG!!" lol

Since then I have had thee most wonderful time creating with Leeanne's monthly kits.. all 12 of them! And I'm most grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to work with such great kits and such awesome fellow designers. This month brings an end to my 1 year term with Artful Delight and I can honestly say I'm going to miss it terribly. I've met alot of wonderful gals at AD... Leeanne, Courtney, Debbie, June, Kelly, Julie. All of them so very sweet, and their projects so inspiring. So I just wanted to again thank April for the shout out and to Leeanne for the opportunity. It's been a FANTASTIC year! :)

Thankfully, it's not a complete farewell, though :) I'm still going to be creating layout sketches for the Artful Delight monthly layout challenges! Yay! I LOVE creating sketches for AD and I was so happy that Leeanne wished for me to continue to provide them. So although I won't be on the designing team anymore, I'll still be a part of AD in that way. Yay!! I'm sure I'll most likely enter the challenges, too :)

Anyway! Here is my last project as a part of the DT. I created this card with the February card kit which includes those awesome Paper Smooches stamps I'm always drooling over! lol

This was such a fun kit to work with this month. So many happy and cheerful papers, embellishments and stamps. :)

Artful Delight kits really are the bomb! If you've been searching for a great scrapbook/card kit club with a variety of manufacturers and kit themes each month including the latest and greatest of scrappy products... Artful Delight is the way to go! Just look at the March layout kit.. isn't it a beauty!?!?

and the March card kit...

Sooo pretty!!!
Click here to see all the contents of these kits and to order yours before they're gone! :)

Also! Leeanne is currently holding a DT call! I can honestly say, without a shred of doubt, that AD is one of the very best DTs to be on! You all should definitely submit your apps! :)

Thank you so much, Leeanne, and the rest of the Artful Delight team. It's been a blast!

congratulations - Artful Delight

I used to babysit for Joseph.. the cutest little 3yr old boy! It seems like not too long ago that he would come to our house and watch Barney and carry his blanket everywhere. So sweet. His mother and I have been longtime friends since we were young, our mothers have been friends for nearly 35yrs. We're all more like family than just friends. Anyway...

Joseph got married yesterday.

OMG I'M SOOOOO OLD!!! LOL

I made this card for him and his new wife. I wanted to go with fun and cute, rather than lace and bells. I really love the LYB "Paradise" portion of the Artful Delight February kit.. Such sweet colors and fun designs--- love that beige and dark brown ledger paper!! :)

Thanks for visiting me! :)

Cards with Artful Delight & TPV tutorial :)

I've had a lot of fun this month creating with the Artful Delight February card kit! 

It includes brand new LYB "Paradise" plus Simple Stories, Jillibean Soup and Paper Smooches stamps.. all my faves so it's easy to say I LOVE this kit!

Last week I shared a layout using these goodies, today I'm sharing 2 cards :)

I'm so in love with those scooters.. how cute!! I've noticed I've been adding banners a lot lately for card sentiments.. I just love that banner look.. it really adds a special touch rather than just a circle, square or stamping right on the card.

Today is also my scheduled day to provide a tutorial for The Paper Variety. Visit TPV today to learn how to make your own embossing folder. I made this super simple note card in my tutorial.. it's very plain, but I wanted it that way so the focus is mainly on the embossing :)

Have a great Sunday!

so happy together - Artful Delight

My first project with the Artful Delight February card kit is a layout! :) Here is the card kit, isn't so fun!?

I love this kit! And I can't wait to use those Paper Smooches scooter stamps! :) For my layout, I used the sketch from the monthly sketch challenge at Artful Delight.

This is a great sketch! So many ways you can go with it :) I replaced the 3 photo spots with just one photo.

(Sorry about the photo quality, it was a gloomy rainy day and I couldn't get a good bright photo) This layout features my sister and her boyfriend. I love this photo, on a bench, together in a garden.. so lovely. I did use the Paper Smooches stamps for the clouds and the round alphas were fussy cut from the Jillibean Soup paper in the kit :) All items used are also in the kit, except for the title Thickers.

We hope you'll join the sketch challenge, too! You could win the March Artful Delight scrapbook kit!

Thanks for visiting me!

I tried something different with my card, I wanted to use mostly cardstock instead of patterned paper.. although I did fussy cut that small heart from the Jillibean Soup Hearty Barley paper. 

I used my Cuttlebug and embossed the cardbase for something new-to-me and I love the Basic Grey/Hero Arts stamps set included in the kit!

Tomorrow, the 23rd, is the last day to enter your project at Artful Delight based on this sketch...

We're loving all the entries so far but it would be great to see more!! And if you're the randomly chosen winner, you receive the Artful Delight February scrapbook kit!

party! Artful Delight

(this is my 2nd post for the day. Scroll down to see a card I made for the current TPV challenge)

Happy Sunday! 

We're enjoying our 4day weekend though it's been spent mostly at home. We had a snowstorm come through Thursday night, dumped alot of snow and caused us to lose power overnight. Friday was spent getting the house (and ourselves!) warm again. So this weekend we've been house bums lol Braydon has kept busy drawing, watching movies etc and I've been scrappin alot. It feels great to be able to start and finish a project in one sitting than to do a little bit at a time over the length of a few days :)

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the Artful Delight January card kit. 

I'm having alot of fun with this kit, loving all the kraft, colors and designs. I know I say that every month, but it's really true! lol

I love how this card turned out.. such bold color and contrast. And I really love those cotton candy and ice cream cone stamps.. so cute and fun! And of course I had to add a lot of doodles lol :)

The Artful Delight team and special guest designer, Suzanne, are creating awesome projects with the January kits! If you have some free time, you should definitely visit the AD blog and check them out. Lots of inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

hide & seek - Artful Delight

This is my 2nd post of the day. See my post below this one to check out the new challenge and my project for The Paper Variety!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today Artful Delight is kicking off the new month/year with a new January kit. It's gorgeous and full of lots of My Mind's Eye, Studio Calico, Jillibean Soup and more! This month I received the card kit.. I love all that kraft.. isn't it awesome?

Hurry to purchase yours.. the kits are selling fast! Last I checked, there was just one scrapbook kit and 2 card kits left! Plus, today Leeanne is going to announce some amazing discounts! So be sure to visit the Artful Delight blog to take advantage of a great sale! :)

Also today begins the new January AD sketch challenge. I must say I'm super excited about this particular sketch because yours truly designed it! :) I can't wait to see everyone's interpretation of it. If you're the randomly chosen winner, you'll win the February AD kit! :) And just so you know, I was given a hint of what the February kit will include and it's AWESOME!! So I hope you all play along this month! :)

So here is the sketch...

Pretty, huh? Thank you! :) lol

And here is my take..

As some of you may know, this is my nephew, Drake. He is so stinkin' cute, he thought no one could see him hide behind the tall weeds/flowers. lol It was so adorable. I used the card kit for this layout, which includes patterned papers in 6x6 so I had to do some paper piecing and measuring, but I like how it turned out. I didn't want to over embellish this layout (something that I often do!). I wanted the focus on this sweet lil boy so I just added a few flowers that I fussy-cut from paper and a few of the kraft butterfly stickers. The Studio Calico mask was fun to play with, too! :) I don't normally like to make boy pages with flowers, but when the photo calls for such, I go with it :)

I would LOVE to see your take on the sketch!! I hope you'll join us at Artful Delight! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

just because - Artful Delight

This weekend begins a new month at Artful Delight with new scrapbooking and card kits shown in my previous post. I'm really excited about January's kit and I can't wait to start creating with it :) 

But before I can play with my kit, I have to share the last card I made with AD's December card kit. I'm really happy with it.  I think it's a nice card to cheer up a friend or just send a hello - just because. Once again, the 3 Cs have triumphed (cute, colorful & clean lines) lol. 

Design inspiration came from Kelli's super cute cards at Bee Craftee. I love her 3C style, too! :) I was happy to pull out my Cricut for this adorable butterfly. She's from the Live Simply cart and she has alot of dimension. She almost looks like she's going to fly off the card :) Love it!

I have many crafty projects to keep me busy this week! This weekend and into next week, I'll be sharing my first Imaginisce DT project (Yay!), and we'll be resuming challenges at The Paper Variety with our new design team (Woohoo!). I'll also be sharing an Artful Delight project using the January kit (Yay!) and I might share my first Boys Rule DT project, too! (Woot!) 

I have alot to prepare for and do these next few days.. I love it! Crafty hands are happy hands, right? :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

so happy for you - Artful Delight

Today I'm sharing another card I created with the Artful Delight December card kit. The card kit is now sold out (Yay!) but there are a couple scrapbook kits left which include the same as the card kit, just on a bigger scale and a few more items added. Hurry to purchase here before they're sold out, too! :)

So here's my card...

I really love how it turned out. This card design was inspired by a card from Kristina Werner that she created last year. I love Kristina's cards, I get a lot of inspiration from her blog (if you haven't noticed already! lol) 

Is everyone ready for Christmas!?!? I am! Well sorta.

All of my shopping, decorating and planning is finished. But this is the first year in probably 15 years that I didn't send out any Christmas cards. *GASP* Not even any store bought ones. December went by so fast and I lost track of time and then it just became too late to send any out. Maybe I'll send out some Happy New Year cards instead lol. I feel so bad about forgetting, I'm sure my family is probably thinking I must be ill or something. lol Nope! Just got busy and forgot. I'm human. :)

Hope you all are enjoying your week. Only a few days left till Santa comes! Yay!

thank you - Artful Delight

Today I'm sharing a card I created using the Artful Delight December card kit!

There are a few card kits left to purchase, so if you love this beautiful collection as much as I do.. head on over to Artful Delight to grab one for yourself :)

Also, there are sooooo many fabulous projects to inspire you on the Artful Delight blog, created by AD's awesome design team. Do check them out, you'll be glad you did :)

Joy of Christmas - Artful Delight

I can not believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! November really whizzed by, didn't it? It seems we just had Halloween last week! 

One of the many things I love about Thanksgiving is that it means Christmas is soon after lol. ;) Every year I look forward to Christmas just like a child would. I'm full of holiday cheer and excitement :) And I LOVE to create holiday layouts and cards. 

Last week I created a holiday layout, and here is another..

This is my sister Sarah and her boyfriend, Matt. I love this holiday photo, they look so happy and in love. :) As with all of my layouts, I added a lot of dimension. It really pops..

Although I love this layout, I have to admit I'm not that pleased with the how I did the journaling.. so I might change that later. Maybe a journaling spot would look better than the strips. Hmmm...

I used the fabulous November kit at Artful Delight. It's full of winter pretties from Prima and holiday goodness from Bo Bunny and Fancy Pants. There are a few kits left whether you choose the layout kit or card kit. Click here to purchase yours today before they're gone!

Leeanne has AWESOME deals on available past kits too, so be sure to check them out! ALSO, currently Leeanne is hosting a giveaway at Artful Delight for some yummy scrappy goodies... don't miss your chance at winning! She always has the best giveaways! Click here to enter! :)

Well I'm off to start my day, I have a lot planned. I like to have my home ready for Christmas the weekend before Thanksgiving (I know I'm early but I LOVE it! lol). So today we're adding the finishing touches to our tree and also hanging up some garland and lights. FUN FUN FUN! :)

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Thanks for visiting,

Abby
