Scrapping In Heels

Scrap your Scraps DT LO for Creations Etc.

2012-02-21T22:13:00.000-08:00

Here is my LO for this weeks theme at Creations Etc. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should, they have all different groups for all different types of scrapping and mixed media so no matter what your favorite is, it will be there.

My kids to go Holy Family Catholic School here in Grand Blanc....next year my youngest two are going to start too....I am freaking out already!

The school colors are blue and gold so I went through my scrap bin and pulled out all my blue and yellows. I border punched them with my different punches and inked some edges. I layered them up and TADA all done. Super easy way to use up small scraps of paper ( some of my fav papers I have some really small scraps because I like the paper and cant get myself to throw it away....bad I know lol)
Well I hope you like my creation, thanks for stopping by and checking on me today, it is greatly appreciated,
Theresa

Mardi Gras Blog Hop

2012-02-20T20:19:00.000-08:00

Welcome to our Mardi Gras parade. I must warn you though while you may enjoy jumping up to catch beads, doubloons, cups, stuffed animals--whatever! Please yell at the float riders "Throw me something, Mister!" Bring a large, sturdy plastic or cloth bag to hold all the treasure you'll be catching - if you try to put all of your beads around your neck, you'll have a hard time standing up straight! Be prepared: some people get so overcome with excitement they will occasionally jump in front of you to grab what a rider has thrown to you. Don't get into a tug-o-war....there are many more floats on the way! If you're from far away, some visitors hold up a sign saying where they are from.. our local riders love to see people from far away have a good time and will throw to them to make sure they do!

The colors of Mardi Gras are: Purple which represents justice; Green which represents faith; and Gold which represents power.Mardi Gras is always held the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is music, parades, picnics, floats, excitement ... and one big holiday in New Orleans! Everyone is wearing purple, green, and gold; and adorned with long beads caught from the beautiful floats. They sit on the ground throwing balls, playing music, having a picnic, and watching the crowds walk by between parades.

Instead of beads, coconuts (which apparently is the most prized throw from floats) and other baubles, we have a great sponsor:

$15 Gift Card for Treasure Box Designs (http://www.treasureboxdesigns.com/). They are asking you to stop by their blog and become a followr of their blog at http://treasureboxdesigns.blogspot.com/. They are having issues with their blog at this time but asking you become a follower!
$50 Gift card from Anita Meadows Cannon

Sew, sit back with your beverage of choice, just keep in mind the police will be in full force watching for drunken lewdness as this is a family event! Feel free to watch in costume, as this is a festive hop!! If you have arrived here from Katie on the parade route, then you are sitting at the best seat in the house! If you have just happened to be visiting me today, don't get me wrong as I always love visitors, I would love for you to start at the beginning of our parade route at Lynne, your hostess, at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/ along with our marvelous co-hostess, Kimberly, at http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com/.

For today I made some tags. I used Treasure Box Mardi Gras Kids file. I just used the mask and hat patterns. I made some mini bead necklaces, and I cut butterfly stickers in half for the feathers.

I cut butterfly stickers in half so they could be the feathers.

Hope enjoyed my float in the parade. To continue on the parade route, Your next stop is Susan
I would love for you to throw me your comments as to my tribute to Mardi Gras!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Theresa

Creations Etc DT Post theme Red and Purple

2012-02-15T06:21:00.000-08:00

So today is my day to post on the Creations Etc website for scrapbooking. This weeks theme is Red and Purple. Every time I think of red and purple I think of the Red Hat Society women, and I want to think that I am still waaaaay to young to be creating a LO for them just yet hehe ( I hope I do become a member when the time comes though, looks like so much fun hahaha)
Anyway, I know alot of us are lovey dovey to the max now that Valentines is over but bare with me for one more love Lo.

I love this type of trim, I bought it at JoAnns and I wish I would have gotten more when I had the chance, I cant find it in stock anymore. It comes in all colors and all sizes to, it is such a neat embellie to have on hand!

I hope you like my design, I post a new LO for Creations Etc every Wed so be sure to check back for more. If you go to the site and cannot find my LO's yet it is because there is technical difficulties with me posting on the scrapbook group page yet, so hopefully by tonight it will be up and running :)
Thanks for stopping by today, have a Great day,
Theresa

CallyAnn's Valentine's mini swap and blog hop

2012-02-13T18:46:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day to you and your loved ones. Thank you so much for joining us today in this Valentine Mini Album Hop/Swap! You are gonna love all the beautiful mini albums that have been created! We all made a mini and then sent it to another person in the hop!
Please sit back and enjoy!
If you hopped on over from Barbara B. Than you are moving in the right direction. If you just stopped by you should go to CallyAnn's and start from the beginning, it will so be worth it!!!
Oh I almost forgot! CallyAnn has Blog Candy! All you have to do is comment on all the blogs. She has a Stampin Up! Stamp Set and 4 yards of Twine.
Now onto the projects:

I made my Valentine Mini for Trish, I didn't mail it out till Fri so I hope she gets it soon, other wise this is a complete spoiler alert for Trish :)

I made the middle pages out of those business envelopes, by cutting the top off, that way each page will have a pocket for more tags that she can add photos or journaling to.

So here are the pages :) The first pics will be the pages and the second will be the pages with the insides pulled out.

this is the insides of page 2

Pages 3 and 4

page 5 and 6

these go behind the pic space on the page :)

page 7 doesn't have goodies on the inside but the page has space for journaling or pictures.

pages 8 and 9

Next head over to my kind friend Trish Hall who I made my mini for :)

Here is the line up in case you get lost!

The inspiration and members there are some of the best I have ever seen, I was honored to be chosen for their DT, I hope I can make them proud.

What this hop will help you with today is showcasing these colors and what can be made to help give you inspiration!!!!!

Well I do have to apologize and give Lisa a big thank you for letting me add to the hop late. Living in Michigan I am use to some crazy weather but last night takes the cake. Me and my family were on our way up to our place up north and the highway go so icy and the wind was blowing the little snow we had all over the place. It ended up we were in the middle of a 60+ car accident. My whole my husband was driving, thank goodness (he is a firefighter so he is use to controlling a vehicle in any weather) and all 4 of my babies were in the car. We ended up with just minor damage but some were not as lucky. We were stuck on I75 for 5 hours until we could even start moving our vehicle again. The entire trip took about 4 times longer than it normally does :( With that said lets move onto the hop and some great candy.

2012-02-09T21:26:00.000-08:00

For those who may not know what it is: Mixed media uses things like -

Paints
Gesso
Gel Mediums
Molding Paste

But it is a simple as using glimmer mist on a tag or using game pieces and alcohol inks.Everyones take on it is different and I hope you enjoy all the creations and GOOD LUCK to the winner!! You should have hopped over after spending time with Paula.

For my project today I started off with a pop can, cardboard purse, and a couple of napkins. I will give you a quick warning now, I have allot of pictures on this post :)

I my flower punch on the pop can and made some flowers, I only needed one but I am going to give away a set of them as part of my candy ;)

Here is a pic of the flowers. WARNING to make these flowers you need to rinse out your soda can with water and use a sharp knife or scissors to cut open the can. If you don't use a sharp knife or scissors the can doesn't cut really smooth and you will prob cut yourself in the process (yes I am speaking from experience lol )
Once you punch them out take a toothpick or end of a paintbrush, I used a quilling tool and curl the edges of the flower. You can ink them to match your project, just use alcohol based inks.

Well onto the project here is the little clutch I made

I covered the clutch with the napkins and Modge Podge added some ribbon, feathers, and bling to make give our little cardboard purse a whole new life :)

Top view

Bottom

Open view, I used the napkin on the inside too so it would match, the clasp is a small magnet, it will stick to the magnet on the inside part of the ribbon.

Close up of flower on clutch

Well I hope you like my project. For my blog candy I have a set of the flowers I made. Just leave a comment. I will pick a winner on Tues. I am in another hop this Sat and Sun. so please come back and see more creations and even more candy.

Rebecca's Baby Shower Blog Hop Day 2

2012-01-27T21:23:00.000-08:00

Welcome back to the second day of Rebecca's baby shower hop. Today I have a couple of things to share. First if you waddled on over from Anita's blog then you are waddling in the right direction. If you just happened to stop by for a peek and didn't know about the hop, please feel free to wade on over to Lisa's blog ( our soon to be Grandma) and check out both days of the hop.

Today I only made a one page LO for Maxwell ( the new additions beautiful name) I hope Lisa and Rebecca really like it. I figured she could put a pic of him sleeping on it.

I picked up this cute premade page at Michael's, I thought it would be cute to have in his scrapbook.

I was so excited today though when on our way up north to our cabin we stopped at a little scrap shop along the way and I found these cute papers!!! I am going to send them to Lisa for her to create with, I am bummed I didn't find them sooner. So here is Lisa's blog candy....or homework should I say hehehehe

Papers and stickers, the stickers aren't as big as they look. They are in 3 different sizes from 1inch to about 3.5inches. Hope she likes them.

And one more pic to share with all of you.......BLOG CANDY :) I said yesterday I had BLUE candy for you all to win, so here it is. Good Luck, same rules as most. Please leave me a comment with your email and I would love it if you would become a follower but please don't feel like you need to. I will pick a winner on Monday.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you had fun today with us. Your next stop is Tami have fun and good luck winning blog candy :)

Rebecca's Baby Shower Blog Hop DAY 1

2012-01-26T19:47:00.001-08:00

Welcome to Lisa’s daughter, Rebecca’s, Baby Shower! What a great idea to have a baby shower between your blogging friends. Lisa has asked that we make a two-page layout which she will present to her daughter. Rebecca is having a boy and her son’s name will be Maxwell Thaddeus. There is a fantastic line-up to check out all of our layouts which I hope you enjoy!!!
If you have arrived here from Anita, then you are at the right place for this baby shower. If you just happened to visit me today or happened upon my blog, I don’t want you to miss a single present for the baby shower and would want you to begin at the very beginning which is the proud soon-to-be-Grandma, Lisa. Make sure you come back again tomorrow to see the new layouts.

For my project I made a LO with rubber duckies. Lisa told us that the theme of the baby shower is Rubber Ducks so I wanted to do a LO with that theme. I added some charms and ribbon just to bring in even more of the duckies. I hope she likes it.

For my blog candy I am giving away a bunch of goodies that are all BLUEI realize that not all of us have a need for baby things so I decided that blue goodies is the next best thing, if I wanted to stick to the theme :) I will post a pic tomorrow because my camera isn't cooperating tonight. I have paper, twine, glimmer mist, and brads.....just to tempt you to come take a peek tomorrow, hehehe. Thanks for stopping by. Your next stop is Tami.

Thanks for peeking, hope to hear from you tomorrow too.

Theresa

Here is the finished Journal

2012-01-19T16:30:00.000-08:00

Here is a little video with the completed journal. As you can see I made some major changes, but I think it turned out great.

I do have to let you all know the person I swapped with requested Red, White, and Black. She also loved Zebra prints, Zebras, and Greyhound Dogs so that is why I designed it this way.

Thanks for looking and stopping by,
Theresa

Snow Days Blog Hop Day 2

2012-01-07T20:12:00.000-08:00

Hello and Welcome back!!! I hope you all hopped along with us yesterday, if not you can just go through both days now and check out all the wonderful creations.

I live in Michigan and we usually have had a couple of snow days by now for the kids at school. This year it is strange because we are only hitting the 40s to late 30s when it comes to temps lately....not normal for MI. But as they say, if you don't like the weather here wait 5 min and it will prob change :)

So my project for today is a journal I made for a swap. I loved that my partner wanted red, black, and white. I have never done those before so I thought it would be fun. I don't want to give to much of it away because I still want her to be surprised but these journals are quite fun and easy to make!!!
I love a project that no matter what you do you cant go wrong :) So enough babbling here it is:

So I had a flower in the middle there but it fell off so I am rethinking what should go there, any suggestions? I am thinking feathers, I have been on a feather kick for quite some time now hehehe

Here is the inside cover, I used a page cover for a smaller album so she could have a pocket in the front. I have a few of them in there.

Just some decorative pages, these hold tags she can write on.

And here is just some little embellishments I added along the way, I also stamped some sentiments because she wants to use it mostly for journaling and not so much pics. I hope you like my project.

Now hop on over to Beckie http://justbcreativecrazy.blogspot.com/

Here's a list of the entire hop, in case you get lost along the way or want to revisit anyone, I know its long but SOOOO worth it!

Happy New Year!

2012-01-03T00:06:00.000-08:00

Well I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I have to apologize for not posting sooner but I have had the terrible misfortune of having my computer crash! Yes CRASH! Friends if you are a SCAL or MTC user like I am PLEASE remember to back up your files, it felt like my whole life was on the dang computer and there is nothing I can do about it. I have sent it to get repaired, switched out hard drives and spent hundreds of dollars hoping it will be safe. They tell me the data is all there it just needs to be sent to a data recovery specialist to get recovered. That is like 1200 to 1500 dollars, so its not gonna happen.

So please learn from my bad, bad, bad, stressful mistake and back up those files, AND software. SCAL2 is no longer able to download and it is now SCAL 3 which does not cut on my Cricut so on top of it all I have to buy a new cutting device. :) I only have 2 cartridges because I never used the Cricut like it was intended lol.

Well here is to hoping for a much better, backed up and saved 2012 :)

Thanks for checking in on me and I am hoping to have some crafty karma come back my way.

So today I want to share with you a fantastic idea that I saw (just yesterday) on SVG Cuts blog and facebook page. One of their Design Team members Cheryl Becker came up with this fantastic idea for a snowman goodie box. I just loved the idea and had to try it out, needless to say it turned out so cute I had to post this instead of my original idea of a mini album :) (I will post my mini later if you want to come back and check it out.) I swear the design team, Mary, and Leo at SVG Cuts are some extremely amazing people. You can check out Cheryl Becker personal blog for more inspiring ideas. Cheryl listed the entire pattern on SVG Cuts blog so if you want to make one your own go check it out. I so hope Cheryl doesn't mind me trying out her idea but it was just too cute to resist don't you think :) Crossing my fingers SVG Cuts and Cheryl think I did her project justice.

Here are a few more pics so you can get a closer look at the cute little lady :)

I do have some blog candy to give away, I will ship one person another one of my Mrs.Snowman goodie box just like you see here. I will pick a winner on Monday Dec 6th. Please leave an email for me to contact you if you are the winner. Thanks so much for stopping by my first ever blog hop. I am so excited to be apart of this group. I hope my Secret Santa really loves her gift too.

Please go to Rachelle- http://creationsbyrachelle.blogspot.com, that is your next stop.
Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me, I really appreciate that you took time out of your day to see what I've been up to. I hope you have a safe and happy weekend.

Christmas Inchie Swap

2011-11-30T20:46:00.001-08:00

So my friend Cassie put together a little group on fb for those of us who wanted to try and make inchies, which is a huge trend now-a-days. I never did them before and thought I would give it a try.

The rules were they have to be 1in x 1in (I know, obvious because of the name. But just thought I would clarify hehehe) There were 8 of us in the group and we had to make 12 for each person. We decided we didn't want 12 of the same image so we asked that you have a variety.

I decided to go vintage on my inchies. It was allot of fun deciding how to embellish all of them. I did my inchies in 4 groups of 3 that coordinate. Here are the pics, hope you like :) I do have a few extra sets so if you want one let me know, if I have them still I will mail them out :)

Here is a group shot of all of them keep scrolling for the pics of the sets.

These are my religious ones. I decorated them with gold ribbon and a gold jewel for the star, I think these are my favorite in the bunch.

This set is decorated with pearls.

These I added feathers too, they are much prettier in person, I was happy with how they turned out.

Lastly this set I embellished with a glittery tool.

Sorry about the flash in the pics, I am not good at taking pictures of really small stuff at night apparently :)
Thanks for spending a little time with me today and I hope you like what I made.

Christmas Banner Swap

2011-11-20T17:43:00.001-08:00

So today I wanted to share with you my letters for a Merry Christmas banner swap. One of my friends Lestina came up with the idea and put it together. I love this swap idea. I had to make the letters H and A...(obvious I know considering your looking at the pics)....but we had to make them 11 3/4 long and fit to page. We could decorate however we wanted but my backgrounds had to be dk green with a 4 inch letter in cranberry. Lestina let us all know what color our main background had to be for each letter.

We all voted on our colors. The choices were the traditional red and green, blue and white, and the dk green and cranberry. I think all would have been beautiful!

Well I hope you like my letters, they were fun to make, I will post pics of the whole banner when I get it back.

So does anyone else scrap banners for the holidays? I have never hung one before or even made one so I was excited to participate and try something new. Share pics of your banner or some banner hanging tips if you have any :)

Thanks for spending time with me today,
Theresa

I am Starting A New Adventure!

2011-11-16T21:58:00.001-08:00

Well I am pretty excited to share my new blog with all of you. I hope whoever stops by will find it somewhat inspiring and amusing.

For some info: Scrapping In Heels started because I have two GREAT hobbies that I love.
1) Scrapbooking of course! I love playing with paper. I do have to admit that I am mainly a SVG user and not much into the Cricut cartridges. I do most of my cutting on my Cricut ( even though my sweet husband bought me a Cougar Black Cat....I know even I am hanging my head in shame....I just never figured out how to use it :( So if you know any good tutorial sites out there to help me end my ties with Mr. Cricut, I am all ears!)
Anyway...back to what I was saying. I love doing all sorts of stuff with paper and I love trying new things and techniques so I hope we can learn some neat ideas from each other.

And my second hobby is

SHOES! I love shoes, I love all shoes, I have shoe soup on the bottom of my closet and boxes upon boxes of shoes all over my house! My husband guesses that I have over 400 pairs, not counting the two big boxes of them in the basement I never unpacked after we moved in :)

So along with some of my paper creations, I will also share some of my favorite shoes, or they might end up being not so favorite after I wear them hehehe. I hope you enjoy my little part of the blogging world, I am excited to see where this adventure could lead.

For my project I made a LO with rubber duckies. Lisa told us that the theme of the baby shower is Rubber Ducks so I wanted to do a LO with that theme. I added some charms and ribbon just to bring in even more of the duckies. I hope she likes it.

Thanks for peeking, hope to hear from you tomorrow too.
