Christmas Gifts

2011-12-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

So this year for Christmas my gifts were of a variety I have been playing around with some digital design. I been using lots of wonderful Freebies from lots of really neat places trying to get my feet wet on how to do some of this stuff. Here is one of the most involved gifts I did this year.

In this projected I used the Free kit from Shabby Princess at http://www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads/holidayrecipe/holidayrecipecollection.asp this is a wonderful kit for new-bees! Shabby has lots of wonderful Free Recipes cards that you can add to this project on her blog http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/Blog/ I tock the libratory of using some of her wonderful recipes in my gift but also using them as an inspiration to create more Recipe Cards for my gift. Here is a sample of one of the cards that I created:

If you like this and you like to add to your own please contacted me and I am happy to share with you the file.

Tiddly Inks

2011-11-29T16:13:00.000-08:00

So I have been doing some playing around with Digi Stamps and Digi Kits for Scrapbooking, when I made my card for the post below (see here) I used lots of digi papers. That had me thinking what else I could create with these papers. I have always printed out digi stamps and colored them in with my Copic Markers. Well, I have been unable to afford the purchase of these wonderful markers for some time now, I started thinking what if I tried coloring the digi in Adobe Photoshop and then using them on cards or in other Digi projects. So this was my first attempt on coloring a digi stamp and this is what it came out looking like.
I used Tiddly Inks Annie Has Pie Digi Stamp, this was her freebee for Thanksgiving but if you happened to miss out she has it for sale on her website, along with some other really cute other digi stamps. You can find the pie in her Yummy Paper Set I just added it onto this image here. Like to hear what you think of the image above I tried to color it in using a smooth shading tool, but this was my first try on it so it is what it is. Open to suggestiongs, please, or maybe if anyone like to know how to do this.

There are 3 ways you could win this hop so here is the first thing you will have to do, following our blog hop and collecting the letters from the Scrapbooking Elements along the way. Once you have reached the last blog and collected all the letters make sure you check there blogs very careful as to not miss any of the letters, unscramble the letters to reveal a well known Summer Theme Song.

First Place Prize:
To win the first place prize you will have to unscramble the letters to reveal the name of the song and the band that sings that song.

Second Place Prize:

For the second place winning answer this question: The Song was written by Robert Lamm for the 1972 album, what was the name of the album it was on?

First Watercolor Media Card

2011-04-10T21:41:00.000-07:00

This card I made for a friend that is on her way to a better life. She just had the procurer done where they put the band around your inner stomach so you don’t eat as much anymore. She has already lost 25 pounds before she even went in for it; do to all the fasting they had her do! I hope for the best in her transformation and I want her to do good so this card is for her encouragement to start feeling good about herself!

So I have been playing with other Medias to color my Magnolia stamps just like to experiment with other Medias and how they work. So far I have tried Prism color Pencils and they were ok but I just could not get the colors to blind correctly. I will probably try them again before I put the color pencils away! This was my attempt at coloring with Derwent Watercolor Pencils, not to bad if I do say so myself. I really enjoyed this media so much that I actually started working on another card using the Watercolor Pencils too. So we have not seen the last of this media for me! I also used some distress inks with blinder on the edges of my paper. I used my Gypsy along with my Cricut Expression to make lots of the cuts here. I just love all the creativity you can do with the Gypsy! Magnolia stamps are just lovely to make all these projects come alive!

My first Aisle Card

2011-04-05T14:45:00.000-07:00

So I made this card for my sister in laws birthday and it was my first attempt to make the aisle cards that stand up for display. I used the Magnolia Tilda Stamp blowing Fairy Dust since it reminded me of Blowing out the candles to make your birthday wish. I also used my Home Decor Cricut Cartridge and my Cuddle Bug for the embossing. I can’t remember what the name of the paper that I used in the background it has little squiggly lines in the back ground like candle smock, I thought it went well with the card. My sister in law got it for my birthday a few years ago and there is not much of it left. I tend to use it a lot… :)

Spring is Blowing In!

2011-03-29T17:49:00.000-07:00

Well it’s been a long while since I posted anything personal that I have been making so I thought I give it a go again. We been busy over at Scrappers Delight been doing lots of swaps and member rewards this year already! I even have a card challenge going this month.

This was my entry for the Card challenge we have this month, I also have tried entering into Magnolia Ink Magazine so I hope that I hear from them saying that I was one of the ones picked! I used the following products:

Magnolia Stamp: Fairy Tale Collection - Bubbling Tilda

Tim Holtz:

Distress Inks: TIM21483 - Scattered Straw, TIM21414 - Broken China, TIM20333 - Peeled Paint

Die Cut: Elegant Flourishes

More Brilliant Bugaboo

2010-08-15T11:29:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, Andria here again with another gorgeous creation from our Design Team. This is another creation made with images from our July sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. You really should go check out this website as the images are just totally adorable, something for everyone.

Amanda:

Amanda says:

"Just LOVE these Bugaboo stamps. They are so stinking adorable! And there is so much variety in what Jodie designs so there really is something for everyone. I used the FM Flower (Fat Mouse...hehehe) for this card. He was printed out at 3.25 inches on white cardstock from Papertrey Ink. Actually I printed him several times because I simply could not decide on good colors. Ultimately I made him a grey mouse. He was colored with Copic markers and I just LOVE my copic markers. The ease at which the colors blend is amazing and even for someone as inexperienced as me with coloring, I think I did a pretty good job :)

The pink cardstock is DCWV and the glitter patterned cardstock is My Mind's Eye. I did bling him up just a little with a few Stickles (another one my obessions). The stamps are ones I just got in the mail from Clear Dollar Stamps. The set is called Heartfelt Sentiments. I also used a Fiskars border punch and some yellow ribbon."

So We will be back very very soon with our August projects and our "Sweet As Candy" challenge.

Watch this space.....

Hi everyone, this is Andria here again stepping in for Rebecca as she's on vacation, we all hope she has a brilliant time and deserves a relaxing break.

I'm here to share my July DT Project, we were again lucky enough to have been sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

Andria:

I used my Bugaboo image to make a card and matching gift tag for my goody hamper

My image was coloured with promarkers and then I added some black glitter to her dress and shoes and I added a few drops of brown glitter to the chocolates to look like sprinkles. The Design paper and ribbon were from my stash.

Well this is my final project for our Design Team as I have a lot of personal things going on right now and dont have as much time as I would like to dedicate to my crafts.

However I will be back to host our Sweet As Candy Challenge at the end of August

Please keep your eyes peeled for more news to follow

Batty about Bugaboo

2010-07-27T00:50:00.000-07:00

Hi, it's Andria here again with a wonderful project from our fellow DT Teamie Jasmine. Again this month we were given permission to choose one Bugaboo stamp to work with on our projects. Here is Jasmines work:

Jasmine:

Isn't this just the cutest little guy, reminds me of the "Whuzzles" (a cartoon on UK tele in 80's). That Ice cream looks good enough to eat.

Jasmines inspiration behind the card was a very exciting challenge we have coming up in August. So keep your eyes peeled for more info on the "Sweet as Candy" challenge.

I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Another slice of inspiration

2010-07-06T00:27:00.000-07:00

Good morning, I'm back with two more gorgeous projects from our Design Team. Both projects were again made with Bugaboo stamps.

Jude:

I find there is nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winters night, especially when your tucked up in bed listening to the howling winds outside.

Jasmine:

Jasmine made this tag on her computer isn't she clever? you can just print and go :)

Remember for the month of June & July our sponsors are Bugaboo stamps. Our projects are going to be judged by the fabulous Jodie and the winner can choose 7 yes that's right 7 free digi stamps for their own use.

For more details on how to sign up please visit our Scrappers Delight community.

Brilliant Bugaboo Stamps

2010-07-05T12:29:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone it's Andria here again with some more totally stunning creations from our talented Design Team.
Again for the month of June we have been working with Bugaboo Stamps, please stop by the website and check out these fantastic images for yourself.

Rebecca:

"I used regular Card Stock, and a Wood grain stamp put out by Hero Arts and Cricut Wild West Cart for the Happy Tails and Platinum School Book for the Grass, Copic Markers, and Bugaboo Digi Stamp.

I made this card for my dad's father’s day."

Andria:

"I chose this stamp as I needed to create a Golden Wedding anniversary Card for a family friend. I distressed the image with promarkers (tan, sandstone, cinnamon, cocoa, burnt sienna and shale) and then put a layer of crackle accents on the top.

The two hearts were cut with a cuttlebug die and raised on foam pads to act as a buffer. The ribbon was from my stash and design papers were all MME Wild asparagus range.

The main image hides a hidden tag, the tag has the sentiment which came with the stamp."

You have to agree these stamps are just brilliant, something for every occasion.

"For this card I used the alligator balloon stamp from Bugaboo. It was SO HARD to pick an image to use since so many of them were just too adorable!

I colored him in with my copic markers and added a little grass.

Paper is from DCWV and the white card stock is PTI

Other items used: Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder, brads, brown Memento Ink"

2010-05-18T12:17:00.000-07:00

Today I have some cards for you from our Design Team!

Ginger:

The one that says "happy mother's day" is the one I have redone, both digi's are by AiFactory, and there paper was form My Mind's eye.

I made a layout using the digi paper from AiFactory, and the quote is from AiFactory, I think I got them all for May.... I really enjoy using the paper.

This little birdhouse was my favorite. Thanks!

Jasmine:

Showing us how she used two images from Aifactory selection of digital stamps. I just colored them and cut the leaves so the sign looks like it’s behind it.

Rebecca:

I used regular Card Stock on this card, with some embossing folders from Parvo Craft and Copic markers to color in the digital image from Aifactory. This card was apart of the Scrappers Card Challenge's group on Scrappers Delight!

Also just a quick reminder to our followers and members next month is going to be really fun!! Our Sponsor Bugaboo Stamps will be giving away

More Projects:

2010-05-05T13:15:00.000-07:00

I have wonderful projects to share with you from Andria over at: Iona-Rose Designs
She has done a lovely job putting these two project together for our Design Team at Scrappers Delight.

This is my second Design Team project for Scrappers Delight. Aprils Sponsors wer the wonderful Aifactory.
I took my inspiration for this card from the "Quote Garden" website with the following quote...

"Dancing is like dreaming with your feet"
I have distressed the edges of the papers and card to create a shabby chic feel and added pearls and roses. The mirry card I used to mount the image was purple, but I heat embossed the edges and it has blended the colour and created a holographic purple/pink feel.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and stickled part of her tutu and ribbons. I felt a sentiment on the front would be too much, so I've decorated the inside of the card and added it to the insert.
I've really enjoyed working with this image.

Ingredients:

Card - White hammer, pink (papermill shop) and purple mirry card (create and craft).
Stamp - Aifactory (digi stamp).
Promarkers - pink carnation, blossom, dusky pink, satin, blush, cool grey1,2,3,4,5, black.
Extras - Roses (wild orchard), pearls (stash), Cotton candy stickles (Stash).
Design papers - My Minds Eye.

I am hoping my card covers the criteria for the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz Challenge #17 - Girly Card with flowers.
Quixotic Challenges # 23 - How Distressing (edges of papers and cards have been roughed up with scissors).

This is for our May DT projects for Scrappers Delight, using this adorable image from the Aifactory. I just looked at the image and thought it was crying out to be used on a "New Home" card.

I don't have any sentiment stamps that are suitable for new home cards, so I hand wrote this one, it reads "Home Tweet Home".

The image was colored with my trusty promarkers and I cut it out and attatched it to the card with foam pads, adding a swirly flourish of gems to the bottom corner.

I added an embossed panel using a paisley embossing folder, to represent bird feathers swirling in the breeze. I have also highlighted some of the edges of the lemon card with lemon glitter.

Ingredients:

Card - Lemon, White (papermill shop).
Design Papers - Basic Grey.
Promarkers - Pastel pink, coral, blossom, pink carnation, vanilla, saffron, gold, sandstone, cinnamon, lime green, pear, cool grey 1, 4 & 5(Joanna Sheen).
Extras - Gems (anitas) Paisley embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Lemon glitter (doodlebug).
Image - Aifactory (digi stamp).

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations - Challenge ~33 Celebrations.
Alpahabet Challenge - A is for animals.
Papertake Weekly - Sketch 40.

2010-04-20T22:29:00.000-07:00

I apologize to the readers and Design Team members that have turned in their projects but I have failed to post them here. If you have not heard Ning is having a change of heart to their free service where we have our network currently and I have been looking for a new home for us sort of speak. I have temporary set up our Facebook page till I can make the switch and still allow us to communicate throw there. Not the best service but it will work for now.
So without much more delay I present to you our Design Teams projects!

Andria:

This project covers part of my Spring Has Sprung monthly swap and DT project for Scrappers Delight. The image is adorable and so versatile with the sentiment box the fairy is holding being blank (would be perfect for Christmas). I made the gift bag using one sheet of card and followed a tutorial over at Split Coast Stampers, I covered the bag with My Minds Eye design papers and edged it with lime green stickles. The card does not need to be cut or glued and is securley fastened with the green organza ribbon. I used a brown luggage label (Fruit Pixie) to make the tag, I covered this with versamagic persimmon ink and edged with green stickles. I then covered the tag with torn up pieces of MME and Basic Grey design papers. I covered the whole tag with Inkessentials Crackle Accents to add a distressed feel. The adorable image was colored with my promarkers and glittered with stickles, again she was covered with crackle accents to match the tag and the sentiment "Fairy Happy Easter" was created with my alphabet stamps. I attached the tag to the bag with green organza ribbon and also attached a silver fairy charm to the bow and some green beads. I have really enjoyed working with this image, Thanks to our wonderful sponsors Aifactory and thanks to Rebecca for organizing another fab swap.

Jasmine:
I used the ballerina stamp, I tried to make the stamp look like it was stamped by hand and then the background is a crinkled up piece of paper. The picture is of my little girl at dancing class. I made it fit within a 8”x5.5” size so I can place it on a regular size paper folded in half and send it as a card… or I can just add it to my scrapbook.

Didn’t both these ladies do a fabulous job! Thank you so much for all your work each and every one of you ladies!

Designs from the Team:

2010-04-09T11:08:00.000-07:00

So I have some new designs here from our Design Team at Scrappers Delight.

Ginger:

Paper is My mind's eye for both projects
I really like both of these images from AiFactory, tho I did make a layout that I didn't have photos for...but it's what came to my mind.

Jasmine Wilmany:I received this digital stamp in my email, but then I opened it up in Photoshop and added some "noise" to make it look more like it was stamped with ink by hand.

This cute little owl stamp is from Jessica Lynn Originals
and Scrappers Delight has created and organized so many wonderful events and challenges!

I like to keep my creations on a piece that's 8.5" wide and 5.5" tall. That way, I can frame it, place in a scrapbook as a decoration or title or simply fold a paper in half and glue this on the front for a greeting card!

Cards from our Design Team!

2010-04-06T13:39:00.000-07:00

Today I have two very beutiful cards to share with you from Amanda using Jessica Lynn Original Stamps.

I live near Fort Knox, KY. At the hospital there, they have a division called the Wounded Warrior unit, where soldiers that sustained severe injuries go to recover because they cannot be sent home yet. Many times it is lonely for them because their families are not local. As part of a scout service project, we make cards for these soldiers just to let them know someone cares. I was inspired to use this image from Jessica Lynn Originals to make a card for these soldiers.

Image: Vet from Jessica Lynn Originals
Cardstock and paper: various sources included Cardstock Online, Paper and More, Karen Foster The Great Outdoors paper pack, DCWV
Sentiment Stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps

March Designs from Jessica Lynn Originals

2010-03-11T08:47:00.000-08:00

Here are some very Beutiful Designs from our Design Team for the month of March using Jessica Lynn Original stamps.

Andria:

Wow here we are in March already and I'm back with another DT project. Again we have kindly been given 2 gorgeous digi images from Jessica Lynn Originals. When I first saw this image it immediately reminded me of World War II. I decided that this would be my theme and I would go with a sepia tone and distressed finish.
In the UK the poppy is our symbol of remembrance and is used by the Royal British Legion who support our war veterans. I made my poppy from white tissue paper, coloured with a poppy red promarker and edged in black and dusted with black glitter. I thought it is away of uniting the USA and UK together.

To Read more on her blog please visit her blog at: http://iona-rose.blogspot.com/

Ingredients:

Card - Ivory Hammer card (paper mill shop).
Image - Jessica Lynn Originals.
Colouring Medium - Pro-markers: Tan, Caramel, Sandstone, Cinnamon and Shale. Poppy red and black.
Extras - White tissue paper (ebay), Black glitter (doodlebug), black button (old trousers) and gems (anitas).
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black (for distressing).

Thank you so much to Jessica Lynn for sponsoring us again this month and for this wonderful image to work with.

Kas:

These cards are for Operation Quiet Comfort and Operation Write Home. This months digi stamp is just perfect for both. Here are some of the cards I have made. Operation quiet comfort gives cards and needed personal supplies to wounded soldiers in the hospital overseas. Operation Write Home sends blank cards to soldiers to send home to their loved ones. We also make cards for soldiers that need some mail, and to know someone is thinking of them.

I love all crafts and like mixing them. I'm not good at following craft rules, but always willing to try something new! I have been papercrafting as long as I can remember. I am inspired by everything around me. I scrapbook and alter things and over the last year have started making cards. Hi, I am Ginger. I am from a small coaling mining town called Pershing, Iowa just a few miles from Knoxville which is the sprint car racing capital. I have son and a daughter. Both grown up.
I started making projects at a young age. My grandmother and mom taught me how to crochet and to sew. Later when my son was born in 1988 I started scrapbooking a little. From their I fell in love with card making and brag books. I also collect anything that looks like it can be altered.
I also enjoy wild life photography, gardening.

Easter Blog Hop starting March 28th to April 4th

2010-02-16T12:18:00.000-08:00

This is my second Design Team creation for the "Scrappers Delight " group. I am a member of the Mad About Cards forum this card and ATC is for a member whose log in ID is: NIGHTOWL.
Card:
I used another adorable image from Jessical Lynn Originals, this little owl is called "Brentwood". I wanted to create a pastel/patchwork feel to the card. I have not added a sentiment to the front on this occassion.
Ingredients:
Card - White hammer card (paper mill) Powder blue card (Paper mill).
Design Papers - Sugar Rush Collection (Basic Grey).
Cuttlebug - Roses (Embossing Folder) Swiss Dots (embossing folder).
Stamped Image - Brentwood (digital Stamp Jessica Lynn Originals).
Medium - promarkers: Powder blue, China Blue, Azure, Lilac, Lavender, Cool Grey1 and Cool Grey 3.
Extras - I used a Sakura white gel pen to hilight the areas of light and to create the faux stitching. Sakura Clear Stardust on the hat. The ATC (Artist Trading Card):
This is the first ATC I have ever made so Nightowl is lucky to be getting this. I have admired them from afar and always wanted to make one, and felt this complemented the card well.
Ingredients:

Cuttlebug - Roses (embossing folder)

Cerys is a little girl who loves pink, I have made this Giftbag for Easter, I'm not buying eggs this year and thought I'd fill the bag with Hair Bobbles, clips and other bits and bobs.

I have used the gorgeous "Brentwood" again by Jessica Lynn Originals, this time shading him in greys and again I have glittered his beak and feet. I made the flower embellishment myself using ribbon glued onto a circle of card and then I placed a button in the centre.

Ingredients:

Paper bags - Ebay.

Design Papers - Basic Grey

Hi All~ I'm Christine and am from the wonderful state of Michigan. I live "up north", but not up north enough for my family as we love to camp and hike and enjoy being outdoors.

I started scrapbooking many years ago when my friend because a Creative Memories lady. After that I kind of got busy with kids and all and really didn't do much. Then about 2.5 years ago I fell in love with Stampin' Up! and became a demo. The rest, as they say, is history. I love making cards and scrapbooking. It is my favorite way to destress after a long day as a fourth grade teacher.

I have been crafting for years, grew up with it! I am inspired by nature and my children. I love autumn colors and you will see those most frequently in my work.
I live with my dear husband, who patiently puts up with my papercrafts, and my 4 teenage children. We also have a variety of pets that keep us happy and hopping!
I look forward to getting to know everyone and being creative with you all. I firmly believe that creativity is the way to a more fulfilled and happy life!

Scrap Live with Friends

2010-01-20T19:45:00.000-08:00

So within Scrappers Delight we have a group called Scrap Live with Friends. January 23 we are going to learn how to make this page. It's technically not a scrapbook page but it can be used as a page. This is going to be used as a Calendar for my family for Christmas presents this year. I intend on putting the dates of everyone’s Birthdays on the calendars.

So here it is:

I used my Gypsy to cut out the Scallops at the bottom of the page found on the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge, the Cheers New Year Margarita, 2011, New Years Day from Designer's Calendar, and the Fireworks are from the Wild Card cartridge. The stamp bear is from the Forever Friends, The Original Very Cute Bear was a free stamp from do Crafts a UK magazine. The picture is one I tock from this year’s New Years Fireworks downtown San Antonio, TX. I also used Copic markers a good handful learning how to color the bear and shadow the cut: B24 Sky, R02 Flesh, R39 Garnet, E00 Skin White, E31 Brick Beige, Y26 Mustard, E57 Light Walnut, RV11 Pink. I mixed with a permint marker on the Margarita glass light blue and used green for the olives. The Designer paper is from Recollections: mom’s diner Salt

Hi i`m Tracy and i am so excited to be on the DT here at Scrappers Delight!
My husband and i live here in Scotland with our two teenage boys and two mad dogs. We have known each other for over 23y and been married for 21 of those years.
I love spending time with my family and all the mayhem and madness that involves, we are a mad bunch but in a nice way so i am told.

I love to create and always put a little bit of my heart into each project that i make as a gift for that special someone in my life.

I have crafted for as long as i can remember and my main love is working with pretty papers for cardmaking, scrapbooking and altered art. When i get the chance you will find me in my shed in the garden with papers, buttons, ribbons galore on every available surface...bliss indeed.

My inspiration comes from magazines, books, adverts, inspiring blogs but most of all my "papers" they seem to have a life of there own and know just what they want to be made into.

I have been lucky to have one of my cards published, be a runner up a few years ago in the "scrapbooker of the year" competition and last year won the competition for "altered art from the heart" i was over the moon and all with scrapbook magazine.
I am so looking forward to being part of the DT here on Scrappers Delight and sharing all the fun we are going to have here with you all.
Happy crafting!!!

My name is Mandy and I am currently living in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, but moved here when I met my husband. My family is the most important thing to me, and I am a stay at home mom of three beautiful children ages 10, 9, and 1. I began scrapbooking several years ago when I realized that I had hundreds of pictures and no place to put them. Photography has always been one of my biggest hobbies...but what does one do with all those photos and portraits?? Creating a scrapbook was a way not only for me to have a creative outlet and retain my sanity, but also for my children to have a nice keepsake. Hopefully someday they will appreciate all of the effort I have put into it. I love all types of crafting, including scrapbooking, cardmaking, crocheting and even sewing! My favorite projects to work on are cards and mini photobooks. I take inspiration wherever I can find it. Many times I will just see a pretty paper or stamp and think "oh! I know what to do with this!". I am really excited to be a part of the design team and look forward to sharing my creations.

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my hubby and ten fur babies. Two of them my St. Bernard Clowns. I started scrapping about a year ago and then got into card making and creating Atc's. My background is of dance but because of an unfortunate motorcycle accident I had to stop dancing professionally. I needed a creative outlet and that's what lead to scrapbooking and other paper crafts.

I am the owner of Robyns' Fetish.. Home of the Digital Stamp and Sticker. We sell of coarse Digital Stamps and more. I also have a challenge blog and give away on Wednesdays our Wacky Wednesday Freebie. I have a Design Team that consists of 12 very talented ladies who are wonderful.

Hello and Welcome to my blog!! My name is Rebecca and I live in San Antonio, TX. I am the administrator of this blog and the community Scrappers Delight located on the Ning network. I was always interested in the arts. When I was a little girl my grandmother started me out in painting and from then I went on and learned other art skills from dancing, jewelry making, ceramics, mosaics and others. When I was in High School I took Art classes and I enjoyed them for the most part I think it became more fun as I took art classes in College. I started out in drawing then paining and then I tock Design and last Art History. I loved all these classes!! They were so fun; if I were to go back to school today I would have to have some kind of art class on my schedule. I was going to school to become an Art Teacher, life has happened and I got married and have a little girl and can’t afford the cost of school, let alone the time. My friends with in the community and having all the fun things for them planned for this year helps to feel that dream in my life, it’s not teaching but its fun!!

I would have to say that I really got into the crafting was probably right after my little girl was born in 2008. I felt like this is a life that I want to keep recorded of her growths and many adventures within her life. As much as I like scrapbooking I would have to say that I really enjoy making cards. They are so fun and easy to proper!

I get inspiration from little things, sometimes it can be just a ribbon, a stamp, a die cut, and color. I do like looking throw craft magazines, YouTub, browsing blogs, and of course my friends photos in our community! This is all great inspiration, and sometimes I may take one thought and expand on it or mix it with someone else thought to make one new one.

I would have to say that my paper crafting abilities have defiantly improving! I find that doing the swaps on our community really helps because sometimes you can get great thoughts and inspiration just from someone else cards, how they assemble something, how they did something, and just being able to ask the sender questions. Practice makes Perfect so everyone has the opportunity to learn and get better, and develop their own skills and personality with in there own work.

Hi there! My name is Erin Smetak. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids ages 5, 3 and 7 months.

My Background: I have been stamping and scrapbooking for 7 years. I started scrapbooking first when making a scrapbook of my honeymoon. Then, my friend held a Stampin' Up! party in her home, but I left there without purchasing any stamps and feeling that it would be a very expensive hobby. That same friend had a party a few months later, and after that party, I left with a long purchase receipt! The stamping bug had bitten me after all! It has taken me 7 long years to cultivate my crafting into something that people can actually enjoy! Those first cards are just awful! But, I have really grown as a stamper by doing challenges, and being open to suggestion and criticism. I have served on 2 design teams, 1 I am still on, AiFactory (digital stamps). And now this new one! Thanks Rebecca for this wonderful opportunity!

To New Stampers: Do not be intimidated by what others have created, instead be inspired by it! Take pictures of everything that you create. This way, you can go back and laugh at yourself and see how far you have grown and marvel at how your style has been cultivated!

What I Like to Work With: I am a cardmaker by trade. I try to fit a scrapbook page in at least once a year! LOL! They take SO long! And I really have to be motivated or challenged to create a scrapbook page. I put a lot of detail and thought into each page, thus the reason they take too darn long! I also love to alter items! My current favorite is making recipe boxes out of file boxes found at local office supply stores. I have even sold a few!

What Inspires Me: I am always open to inspiration. Especially color combinations. I love looking through catalogs at bedding sets, and even clothes have neat designs that I can take and apply to my cards. I also love architectural mags. where I can visualize layouts and see color combos. I also like to blog surf when I have the time, and take several ideas from several different blogs and put them together in 1 card. And most of all I love the thrill of a challenge! Give me a jumping off point and I'm as happy as a clam!

What do I Love About Stamping? 1. It's my creative outlet. I have always been artsy, but this is so much more. I can get crazy or subdued; go vintage or stay classic; go grunge or get whimsical. 2. I love coming up with new card ideas! I don't believe I have ever made the same card twice, as long as I've been stamping. Unless of course I'm making sets. 3. I love the finished product! I often sit down not knowing what the end result will be, and am always pleasantly surprised at the outcome! I'll often say that I can't wait to see how something will end up! LOL! 4. The thrill of simply creating! I just love to sit at my desk and just create. Even if I'm just playing around with a new set or an old one! 5. I have met some of my very best friends through this wonderful hobby! And thank God for the internet! I have friends all over the world! How amazing!!!!

So now that we are acquainted, go get your stamps and paper or pictures and paper if you're a scrapper, and come get crafty with us! We are going to have LOTS of fun this year!!!!!

My name is Jasmine Wilmany. I live in Southern California with my husband and two daughters.

I love to paint flowers onto canvas using oils or acrylics. But I spend more time on my love for paper crafting. It has endless possibilities. Paper is strong, yet delicate at the same time. I started paper crafting before it was called paper crafting. I have a passion for making different works of art by using the same materials.

Hey fellow scrap addicts!! My name is Niki_Ray I am a legal assistant by day and a scrap addict at night. I am a mother of three 11, 4 and 2 years old and a wife to my high school sweetheart for 13 years now. I first started scrapbooking in 1998 when my eldest was born and that was 8x11 and on construction paper…and I used Elmer’s glue…Hey that use to be ok. Then I went to a CM party with my SIL and my eyes were opened and the rest is history. In the last 2 years I have steered toward card making more then scrap booking and found that I absolutely love BOTH!!! I am so excited to start this adventure with Scappers Delight and cannot what to see where we are headed to next. I am currently a member of the design team If its Groovy as a card artist at ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com or you can hope on over and give me a holler on my blog at: nikiraysniche.blogspot.com Thanks again to Scrappers Delight for the chance and I cannot wait to get scrappin!! XoXo Niki_Ray

Meet the Scrappers Delight Design Team

2010-01-16T10:17:00.000-08:00

Today I have a few of our members tell us a little about themselves. Please take the time to meet some of the ladies that will be producing projects for our Sponsors.

Hi, I’m Jude i live in the UK married for 8yrs to a wonderful friend and solemate, I have 2 beautiful daughters. I got into crafting soon after i had my 1st daughter. I wanted to fill my time i originally started off by decorating terracotta pots !then someone said to me I should make cards to go with them as they make lovely gifts so bingo I got into the wonderful world of paper crafting. Now I’m into scrapbooking, altered art, Stamping and will try my hand at most things. In 1998 I dislodged my pelvis badly and had to medically retire from my post as senior nurse in A&E. So with Hubby's help he built me a website from there my life changed forever my hobby turned into a business ,and Dragonfly-crafts-online.com was My site proved popular and within a year had over 1000 customers many regular.

This was very busy successful craft business until 2006 when I was diagnosed with ME/CFS unfortunately by beginning of 2009 I had to give the business up due to my health as I couldn’t cope with the everyday work that was involved, I was so busy my health stopped me from running the business as my ME was so bad i was sleeping 21hrs a day and just hadn’t the energy to do anything bar sleep!

I still miss doing all the craft fairs throughout the year especially on the American air bases nearby and various craft fairs throughout the country.
Now I will try my hand at anything, as I love all sorts of crafting not just cards. I am now going back to selling all my surplus stock left over from my crafting business on eBay & esty ,but at least this way I can pace myself to how much work I do, plus it gets rid of all this surplus craft stock I still have from website.

Since I started crafting my knowledge and creativity has improved no end finding I’m learning new techniques daily and still enjoy my now hobby.

I have promised myself this year I’m going to try some more new techniques and experiment along the way. With more crafting tools coming onto the market so tempting it is to buy and try these out! But also I have promised, myself this New Year my craft room will be organized and tidy!!! Yeah right I hear you all say...lol
so hope this gives you a wee insight into my crafting life
hugs judex

So Who am I?

My Name is Andria and I am based in the Lake District Cumbria (United Kingdom). I am truly blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world. I have mountains and lakes to oneside and beaches and sea to the other. On a very clear day I can see the Isle Of Man and Scotland.

What About Crafting?

I started crafting as a hobby about 4 years ago now, using basic card making kits from "Lakeland" and various websites, I then subscribed to various magazines and became a member of a craft forum and my skills and techniques developed. I started giving my cards to friends and family and they admired them so much they started buying them from me. My website www.iona-rosedesigns.com opened in April 2009 and is slowly building up a good little reputation and customer base.

I have since set up my blog and wow, the inspiration out there has led me to develop my skills and passion for rubber stamping.

What do I love so much about rubber stamping?

Well apart from the hundreds of images available for any occasion, all you need is a little colour and the whole image comes to life, they can be used on cards, scrapbooking and my other passion for stamps is personalising candles. I am learning all the time, i have recently invested in pro-markers and i'm developing my colouring and shading skills.

How Did You Become Involved With Scrappers Delight?

I joined Scrappers Delight on Flickr and followed them over to Ning. It is a really friendly group and we have so many exciting and inspirational swaps planned for 2010. Rebecca runs the group and has worked really hard in securing some fantastic sponsors for us this year.

And Finally...

My advice to any newcomer either to the craft or blogging world is don't be shy, join in with groups, show us your work, but most importantly of all, learn...Create....and have fun.

Hi, I'm Lori and I live in southern Maine with my husband of 25 years. We have two grown daughters--Valerie, age 24 who is an Occupational Therapist at a local hospital and Jaclyn, age 21, who is developmentally delayed but works part-time at McDonalds. She is also my scrapping partner. In 2008, my husband and I adopted his bio-grandson, Zachery, so now I'm a mom to an 11 year old boy!

I've been scrapping since I was 9 years old--using those large, heavy, often cumbersome wallpaper books. Then 12 years ago, I was introduced to Creative Memories and well, the rest is history! I fell in love with the craft. I love everything about it. As I developed my skills as a scrapbooker, I also discovered new friends on line and found support and advice along the way. Last February I started a blog, http://scrapmomsmusings.blogspot.com/ which has grown to 83 followers! I blog about my everyday life, post tutorials of things I feel my followers would enjoy viewing (they come from You Tube and are not my own as I don't have a video camera!); as well as step-by-step tutorials of paper crafts I've created; and share my knowledge of the craft in hopes of inspiring others. I've been published twice in Memory Makers which was one of my dreams and it finally came true. I've also won several contests over the years--the most recent being at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Manchester, NH 2009. I find inspiration all around me--from the colors of clothes, textures of nature, interior design, and of course, the many talented scrappers on line.

I love to learn and so I'm always on the computer searching for new sites and new blogs that will help me grow. I don't want to become stagnant and bored as has happened with other hobbies in the past. Besides creating layouts, I also create altered items and other paper crafts. The one thing I'm not that good at is card-making. I envy those who can create such gorgeous cards! My other hobbies include photography, reading, cooking, writing, crafting and collecting vintage items for my home. Other interests include camping, hiking, kayaking (I love the outdoors during the warmer seasons), visiting museums, going to the beach, watching old movies, and drinking coffee!

I would love for you to visit me at A Scrapmom's Musings.

My Birthday Gift!

2009-11-24T08:37:00.000-08:00

I received enough money this year to get the Gypsy! Wow this thing is so Assume!! I could have used it this weekend with all the cards that I had to make. I am so excited to use it, I am still trying to learn how to use it and all the feathers it has. Some time back I was thinking about getting the Juke Box but man I am glad that I didn’t this little Gypsy will hold all of my Cartridges in it so I don’t have to keep changed out the cartridges or have to get the Juke Box. If you already have the Cricut or you’re asking Santa to get it skip out on the s software and just get the Gypsy! It’s replaces the software just about I have not learned yet nor know if I can transfer my files over to the Gypsy from the software. Does any one know of some places were I can get some help on how to use this thing? The Website Video’s don’t work as good as YouTube for some reason.

Celebration Weekend Cards!!

2009-11-24T07:31:00.000-08:00

I’m a bit behind on posting pictures of my cards and so many other things here are the latest from this weekend. We had Birthdays and Anniversary’s all in one weekend; they are displayed as special days occur.
Ironically I share my birthday with my husband parents; the same day is there anniversary. This is there card that I made for them. I used the Wild Card Cartridge but I had to widen the oval a little for the picture to fit in. Off hand I can’t remember what the cut was for the card and the envelope I do know that they didn’t go together but I made them go.

The Next day on the 22nd is my father in laws birthday. He LOVES Guitars!! So this card was made from several cartridges. The Wild Card and the Ideal Art. I welded them together to make the card and then I altered it with my scissors. His envelop was the one for the House on the Wild Card Cartridge I also altered it with a punch for the trim.

Then on the 23rd is my sister in laws birthday. She LOVES “twilight” the movie. So this card was the best one for being the first gift. I used here several cartridges too on this card. It consisted of Ideal Art, Home Decor, Wild Card, and Platinum School Book.

Sew Crafty Mini Sewing Machine

2009-11-11T06:20:00.000-08:00

These little sewing Machines are really neat. My mom found two of them packed away at her house. I have been playing around with them just to see how they work and all. For some reason some one put Bad on the bottom of one but I have been reading the reviews on this item and found that maybe it was just a Human Error to why they may have thought the one was bad. You just have to read the instructions, do not pull or push the paper let the machine do it. The both of them sew perfect, and when it feels like it wants to jump check the tension, or maybe it's because the paper is to tight, so put another layer on the bottom. I have not quite decided what I will do with the other one. Been thinking maybe giving it away for either Member Rewards on Scrappers Delight but I have not quite decided. When the time is right I will know in the meantime I will be enjoying playing with one of these little sewing machines.

We Are Home Owners!!

2009-09-21T21:15:00.000-07:00

So on Sunday we closed on our new / gently used 2007 Jayco 29 BHS RV. Yeah I am so excited about it; I went and purchased a few items to place in the RV that day to make it ours. I even went throw my kitchen looking for things that I could add to it. It was so very nice of the perverse owners to give us with the RV a few things like utensils and plates to get us going. They even left some Toilet Paper, how kind now we know what to get. So here is what it looks like.

Last but no means least after my husband and I last night settled into our old 1950's home I realized I really should thank the sells man that was helping us at the location at Crestview, in Selma. We ended up going throw with an individual that needed to move this RV to pay for some other expenses. So last night while I was doing the Lundy I made this card and tock it to him today. His name was Jake and he was SO SO Helpful and if the deal didn’t go throw with the individual we were going to get a BREAND New RV that would have been smaller from him that is how nice we liked working with him. So I hope that he can put our card up on his desk and show it to his customers because we wrote a very nice letter about what type of person he is and how he did such a helpful job with us, and when we are ready to tread up he will be the one we go see First! So Jake if you happen to see this posting....Thank YOU and we will be seeing you around Crestview when we need parts.
I am so excited we have our first trip planed for 2 weeks from now to Del Rio but my husband just can’t wait we have the bug and we are itching to go some were. Today we went and purchased a generator so that we could go out This weekend instead, my family has about 35 accrues of opened land in Seguin, TX that has a well on it and that’s about all. Since our RV is a Self contained RV then we could just about camp there without any worries. The windmill if I recall needs repair but when I was a little girl with the well filled up I would play in the over flow sprout that made like a shower. It was so much fun then. Memories like this will make my little girls life so much happier. I think it will be so much fun to for Penelope to see the deer, jack rabbits, and Horny Toads. (is that spelled correctly?) Yes we can’t forget about the Snakes and oh my very big spiders out there but it’s defiantly an experience that she will never forget hopefully. Thankfully my aunt and uncle lives across the HWY if anything comes up, she is a retired RN that also RV’s the great US. So we will have some experts not to far away on the first time out in our RV.

Oh Please do leave me Suggestions on Parks and places to go!! We have to go to NY next year around the end of July and start of August. We would LOVE recommendations of places to visit!!

A card for my Neighbor

2009-09-16T14:25:00.000-07:00

This card was in a magazine that I scrap lifted from. It was too cute and to me it was the perfect card for my neighbors. The original card said “The Grass Is Always Greener…” The reason why I changed it was because on Sunday when we came home from the pet expo our neighbor was out side BBQ and brought us a plait over. We thought that was so sweet they didn’t have to do that, but it was so good. Inside of my card I put, “from Neighbors like You!”

More fabulous Blog Candy from Jude: http://crafts-international.blogspot.com/

My Life In Paper Swap on Ning

2009-09-14T20:30:00.000-07:00

This swap required us to make 12 tags that expressed who you were. These were my 12 enjoy learning a bit about me.
Welcome Family: Well this is my first tag and it makes since to me to have it first do to I have always put Family First. I love being around my family and my friends. My home is always welcome to them whenever they need it. I actually life in a small one story house that is from the 50’s I have a mint green bathroom and a EXTREAMLY small kitchen that is yellow. This house originally came with wood floors but for the 13 years that my parents lived in it never know there were really beautiful floors under that shag carpet. So when my husband and I moved in we ripped out the carped and found this wonderful floor. Unfortunately we didn’t have the money to repair some of the floors so we put the lamented floors down right on top that snaps together so that the floors one day could be restored. I wish that I could have more time to dedicated to the house and keep it tidier.

The Bridesmaid: Well, next year we will have to pack the family up for it's Family True First Trip just the three of us. It’s hard to come to reality thinking about that because there is so much that has to happen in order for us to go to NY on our end. Lots of Stress on us and very much work. I am excited about the trip but I get a bit stressed out when I think about what needs to happen to make it happen.
RV Style: Well, my husband and I have been considering the purchase of a RV. Why well, we sell and service most of South Texas and we travel a lot. You never know when a customer is going to call and say we are completely down and need you out NOW!! With this in mind we have been thinking this could be the answer we have been looking for to go to NY in. We would get to travel and enjoy our Vacation a bit more since we will be able to stop along the way and look at some really interesting things. Especially since I have only been around TX, New Mexico, Colorado and I flow to Georgia. My husband has been to just about the same place with a few ads like NY and Wyoming.

The Owls: Well if you were to take a peek in my stamp collection you would find not just a few of these owls but a good handful. I don’t even know why really other then they are so very cute. I don’t even like real owls not to be rude but they are not my favorite animals. I have even been considering the thought of purchasing some dies that are owls for my cuttlebug and cricut.

Amber’s Paw Stop: This is my second job. I sell dog shampoos, treats, custom made clothing, bedding, and greeting cards that I have been making. So far my little business has been doing very well. I am excited about each event that I go to and each time it seems to get a bit better. I hope that one day I will be able to have the money to have a store front selling these items. Please have a click over to http://www.amberspawstop.com/ I can ship just about anywhere. Twenty Eight: Most of my family and friends will not believe me this year when they ask, “How old are you know? And I respond with 28.” I struggle with people taking me serially most of the time since we both look like we are 18 or early 20’s. It’s extremely hard for me to deal with people not taking me serially I tend to get fed up with them and end up finding some body else that will take me serially or I tend to do the job on my own. I guess that is why I decided to make the decision to change my look last month and have my eyes checked and got new frames. For my birthday I wish that my husband and I could have a day to our self’s to maybe take a day trip or just be alone together. (Another opportunity to have the RV.) Go Green: Well I am not really a recycling freak but I do save my paper scraps after I cut stuff and reuse as much of it as possible on other projects. I like to try to think that I am helping by not throw that paper away helps to save something. Maybe not all the time you can save the paper and I have to go throw my paper stash and think how much More Can You Really Get Out of That Paper? and throw it away.

My gum of choice: I chew Trident because it is recommended by my dentist to help keep them healthy.

“I Love Peaches cause there so Delouses:” When I was a little girl my grandma had a Peach Tree in her back yard. We would go pick a peach and eat it right there. It was so YUMMY when they were fresh of the tree. This is one of the snacks that my little girl enjoys eating with me.

H2O: I included this in my tags because I struggle with health problems that REQUIER me to drink up to 4 to 8 bottles of water. Yes I make very many visits to the bathroom but it’s better than the alternative.

The Quickie: We work kind of weird Hours and sometimes we get home kind of late too late to actually eat something really heavy so this is a great way that I can keep my hunger down so that I am not as hungry in the morning.

Yummy: I am lack toasted and tolerant so this is one of the few ice creams that I can eat without much problems. It’s also something that I enjoy sharing with my little girl.

Recycle and Recues

2009-08-24T15:58:00.000-07:00

I just had to share these with you. This is something I came up with out of the Blue. These are Aluminum bottle caps that I turned in to flowers. The back is the caps and I punched out flowers and curled the tips and put the flowers over lapped inside. They came out so cute, lastly I finished them off with leaves on the backs.

4th of July Cards

2009-08-24T15:50:00.001-07:00

These cards were from the swap on Scrappers Delight on Ning. The card on top was the card I made and sent to Tracy the one on the bottom is what I received from Syn. Since Tracy is from Scotland I thought I would incorporate the Colors of Our Texas Flag in with my card. It works perfect since they are fourth of July colors too.

Birthday Greetings

2009-08-24T15:38:00.000-07:00

These cards are made for family. One was from my husband’s grandmother and the other was for my husband’s Aunt. I think they both came out very cute!! I really enjoyed making them both.

The next card I made for my husband’s mother. Shush don’t tell her it’s posted here. Her birthday is still yet to come. Have you seen the New Version/ Dell commercial and they sing the Lollipop Lollipop on. Well I was a bit inspired to make this card from that. She used Apple though but she will not know that it was inspired by a dell commercial.
