2020 SPRING | SUMMER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP!

Today marks the second year of doing this coffee lovers blog hop!  I did 2 (one in 2018 and one in 2019) Both were the Winter Blog Hops and loved it!  I was hooked on making cards after that! Who knew I could make a card nice enough to send to someone!  At first I was intimidated by the oh, so talented bunch in the Coffee Loving Cardmaking Facebook Group (I highly recommend joining this awesome group if you are into Coffee or Card Making and especially if you are into both)!  But after following, learning and Blog Hopping I was in!

Click Here for a link to all of the sponsors, the sales they are offering for this hop (act quick, this hop ends soon) and the awesome inspiration they all share!

For this hop, I wanted to make a more Spring colored card (rather than the usual coffee colors) so I dug into my Echo Park Coffee Collection sticker sheet (as you can see I love this collection) to start off and found this perfect COFFEE AND FRIENDS sticker and started my cards off with those colors!

I then grabbed some blue card stock paper (to pull out the blues in the sticker) and some bright, springy colored pattern card stock paper and a tiny piece of a cut apart with colors to die for (for the hearts and the top of the coffee cup).  This just goes to show...I'm NOT A HORDER of paper but someone who knows I will eventually use that tiny piece on some layout or card😬...all of those papers I had in my stash.

Lastly, and so super excited to finally be able to use these new dies and stamps from Crafters Companion that I purchased from HSN a few months ago...come on, coffee themed and a SALE!  Who wouldn't have???

I started off with this amazing blue card stock, cut it down to a slightly smaller size than A4 card so that the pattern paper behind it (cut to A4 size) would be seen.  I layered another cut of the pattern paper on top of the blue card stock and then added a blue strip of the same card stock down the middle to break up the pattern a bit.  I then backed the COFFEE AND FRIENDS sticker from Echo Park on to a pink/rose colored card stock (again, old stash) and used some foam adhesive to the back to give it a bit of dimension.

I then die cut the coffee mug and 3 hearts (1 out of the pink/rose colored paper and 2 out of the heart pattern paper).  The coffee die set came with its own stamps so I chose the FRIENDS KEEP YOUR HEART WARM sentiment to stick with the friends theme that was on the sticker.  I backed the 2 hearts and the coffee mug with foam adhesive to give it some dimension and added a white heart brad to the pink/rose heart cut out at the top.

Well, there you have it.  This layout came together quick for me.  It's a simple card that looks like I spent a lot of time doing.  The best layouts and cards aren't always the once that take hours or days.

Collections I used:
Crafter's Companion Coffee Die and Stamp Collection (gemini)

Thanks for coming along on this blog.  Leave comments below and let me know what you like best about it.  Come follow me on IG (link on blog) and come hop along with us on the Spring / Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2020!

Senior Picture 8 x 8 layout Book, #57-67 of the 365 scrapbook challenge and what lessons I learned with this layout

Hi Newbies, 
I'm here working on finishing the 8 x 8 album for my Nephew who is graduating from High School (for the first 9 pages please read through my blog).  This album is so near and dear to my heart because he is Autistic and the struggles my sister had and still has with him are real!  So I wanted to make her a special album to remember his special day.

This album holds 20 pages so I thought I would do 10 pages for one blog and the remaining 10 for another blog just so it's not too overwhelming for anyone to read.  

This album will be layouts #57 - 67  of my 365 page layout challenge for 2019!- and yes I do include cards and 8x8 albums as well as my usual 12 x 12 layouts as part of my layout challenge, and FILLER pages (something new I'm doing for this album since I only have 11 pictures) - -just saying😬 

I will try to link all of the items used (and possibly where I bought them) just in case you decide you like any of it.  Since this entire album is an 8x8 album there aren't a lot of embellishments that I used.

After the first 8x8 album I did a couple of weeks ago, I lost my fear of doing them and kinda liked it.  I would NOT say they were easier, I mean you are trying to create an awesome layout with embellishments and stickers and stamps and sequence and heat embossing and...well you get it. When you are doing the 8x8's you are very limited on space to create such an amazing layout, especially if the pictures are bigger than 4x6.

For this album I had to try something a little different.  Since the album itself holds 20 layouts, I only had 11 pictures that my sister had sent to me for his photo shoot.  So I had to come up with some filler pages.  Basically, a scrapbook layout without a photo.  I've never done one before so it was fun to do.

SO HERE THEY ARE:

(57) - TITLE: HIP HIP HOORAY
TITLE: "HIP HIP HOORAY"
PHOTO: I backed the photo with colored tissue paper to match the layout.
PAPER: card stock from paper pad purchased at Michael's
TITLE: USED THE STAMPS from my Ranger Letter It Clear Stamp set (CELEBRATION) I used scrap paper from my card stock and also used my SPELLBINDERS SWIRL HEMSTITCH SQUARES NESTABILITITES die to cut it and leave the dots around the edges of the paper to "frame" it.
EPOXY FLAIRS: From my favorite flair shop, SCRAPPIN HAPPY STUDIO, I used the 'TODAY' and 'SHOOT' flair inside the camera lens (and the camera itself came from that shop.  They include it on their packaging so I fussy cut it and used the camera and it worked beautifully for this layout!
GRADUATION STICKERS: They all came from the same collection from PAPER CRAFTS (Michael's)
CHIPBOARDS: The black chipboards (swirly design in upper right corner and the corner piece in lower left corner) were in the same package that I had gotten from a mystery bag I purchased.

(58) - TITLE: JAMES
TITLE: Bubble-A-Bilities (from Hobby Lobby) bubble alphas
PHOTO: Backed by scrap card stock used on one of the previous pages.  Die cut with my Wonky Frames 
GRADUATION SAYINGS: The word "CONGRATS" and the "YOU DID IT!' came from EK Success, STICKO collection (Hobby Lobby)
GOLD BALLOONS: I cut the balloons with my Cricut machine out of gold foil paper from Michael's.  The "string" was done by using one of my fancy design scissors and the scrap from the gold foil paper (getting creative).


(59) - CONGRATULATIONS
TITLE: Stamped on to a banner I made with my banner punch using my Ranger Letter it stamp set, heat embossed with Ranger embossing powered in BUTTER CUP and then adhered to the background with brads (from old stash a friend gave me, a little tip for brads, if you don't want to make holes in your layout, the metal part twists off easily and I use a foam dot on the back to stick it down).
PHOTO: backed with a card cut from a page out of one of my HOT BUY pads from Michael's (don't miss out on those deals)!
CHIPBOARD STICKER: the word "DOCUMENTED" from American Crafts, Escape the Ordinary Collection.  I adhered it to a piece of the gold foil paper from Michael's and glued it to the background.
STICKER: The scroll sticker is from the Graduation pack by EK Success, Sticko Collection (Hobby Lobby).
CHIPBOARD STICKER: The black chipboard sticker was from a mystery bag that I purchased.

(60) - KIND & STRONG
TITLE: KIND & STRONG are cut from an amazing HOT BUY pad (that I wished I had gotten 2 of). I used my banner punch on both of them.  I also cut the flower border behind the word LOVE from the same pad.
POCKET CARD: This is from Becky Higgins Project Life (unfortunately they no longer carry this one).
PUZZLE PIECE: Die cut using my die from Stampin Up (it comes with the die and stamps in one set)
LOVE: This is actually a digital download that I fussy cut.
BIG HEART: I punched a heart out of a plastic overlay sheet of hearts from Acherryontop.com.  I've never used this type of "paper" before, a bit hard to punch through but I like the effect.
HEARTS: Punched from the heart EK Success punch I have (it punches in 4 different sizes...I LOVE it!

(61) - CELEBRATE
TITLE: "CELEBRATE" is from Jillibean Soup "Grey Sentiments" collection.
PHOTO: backed with grey stock card using the tear technique on the right side and the bottom.  I used a project life card to add to the bottom (barely sticking out) just to give it a little more pizzaz.
WORDS: From my Tim Holtz Small Talk collection sticker book from Hobby Lobby (I would buy stock in that place...if they sold it)!
EPOXY FLAIR: Is from Scrappin Happy Studio 



(62) - WAY TO GO!
TITLE: WAY TO GO! was done using my Cricut machine 3 times and stacked them on top of each other just a little off to show color.
SQUARE SAYINGS: cut from a 12 x 12 sheet of paper I found at Joann's, backed by scrap paper I  cut to size.
BALLOONS: Made by using my Cricut machine and the string was made by cutting the foil paper with my fancy scissors.
BANNER: I used my banner punch from Michaels (this one cuts in 3 different sizes!  L-o-v-e it!
GOLD HEARTS: Used with my EK Success Heart punch.
ALPHAS: His name I used alpha stickers from Echo Park



(63) - MARVELOUS
TITLE: The word "Marvelous" (and the puzzle piece) is from an old (very old) sticker stash a friend gave to me.  I wish I knew where she got it because I love all of the words on it and it's kinda shinny.
PHOTO: backed with scrap paper (SAVE YOUR SCRAPES)!
EPHEMERA: The word 'Great' is from an Ephemera pack from PINKFRESH STUDIO
SWIRLLIES: (I think I just made that up) are cut from my Cricut 



(64) - INSPIRE

TITLE: INSPIRE is from that same pack that the word MARVELOUS came from...I keep searching for it but no luck yet!
PHOTO: I backed it with card stock that I used the tear technique at the top and bottom.  It looked really good with this graph paper I cut from a 12 x 12 page from a pad I had.
EPHEMERA: Is from the Vicki Boutin gold accents label stickers
GOLD HEARTS: American Crafts' Goldie collection (Hobby Lobby)



(65) - BELIEVE
TITLE: The word "BELIEVE" the silver hearts and the banner that says Love This Life are from Paper House
PHOTO: I didn't back this photo because the paper I used to adhere it to was kinda awesome.  It was a scrap I flipped upside down to hide the colors that wouldn't work and it left me with this semi-framed page so I went with it! (I think we call that a lesson, used what you have however you can)
HEART: The black and white chipboard heart is something I got from a mystery bag (love those) so not sure where they are from.
PUFFY WORDS: Graduate is also from Paper House (Hobby Lobby)
BLACK DOTS: from Ms. Sparkle & Co (Joann's)

(66) - LIVE FOR THE MOMENT

TITLE: Ephemera pack from PinkFresh Studio 
PHOTO: I backed the photo with a scrap (people save your scrapes!) to the right of it and used the tear technique down the one side (I really got carried away with this technique in this album).
STICKERS: All fo the graduation stickers came from the same pack I purchased from Hobby Lobby.
GOLD DOTS: These are actually from an alpha CONFETTI WISHES PHRASE THICKERS pack from PINK PAISLEE
GOLD WORDING: "SMART" is from a scrap paper in one of my HOT BUYS!  I really wish I had gotten 2 of them!
The "I DID IT" sign...he held that up himself!  HE DID IT!!!!🤗

(67) - GRADUATE

TITLE: The title and the other graduation stickers are all from the same pack I purchased from Hobby Lobby.  
GOLD STARS: Came in a mystery box I purchased.  It was actually a tag filled with glitter and black and gold stars but I cut it open and used the stars for this layout.
OWL: I made the owl from my Owl punch and heat embossed him in gold.
GOLD STAR: was also from the tag that was filled with glitter and stars
EPOXY FLAIR: From Scrappin happy Studios
SHAKER "CARD": I made a Shaker "card" by stamping the sentiments from my Ranger Letter It clear stamp set on a piece of 12 x 12 I cut.  I added the glitter and sequence and then added vellum on top and glued all sides.  (here comes a LESSON), the glue didn't hold on the bottom so I had to get creative since all of the bits were falling out.  So I had a clear sticker with a sentiment and a swirly  on it that I wasn't using so I let the swirl (or scribble) show and hid the remaining sticker by adhering it to the back to keep the "card" together. That way it didn't show the sentiment and it kept the bits from falling out!  Win-Win situation😬
JOURNALING: I did the journaling using velum paper and adhered it with dots of clear glue and hid that by adding the gold dots from the Pink Paislee Alpha pack.

Well, there you have it...this album is officially complete and it brings me to page 68 of my 365 layout challenge for 2019. I am ahead so far (trying to stay a bit ahead so when I go to his graduation  I won't be behind when I get back).

Sweet Moment - Layout #24 of the 365 scrapbook challenge and what lessons I learned with this layout

Hey Newbies!


I'm here working on my 365 Page Layout Challenge.  I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.


Today I am working on a layout I call SWEET MOMENTS.  This one is especially close to my heart because it's a picture of me and my granddaughter reading "THE LITTLEST ANGEL", the exact book I saved that I use to read to her daddy when he was just about her age.


I'm not going to lie, this layout took me a while due to the colors I was mixing.  It looks like a simple layout but I wanted all of the colors to blend with the paper I used on the background so it was trial and error.  


Which brings me to LESSON #1, if it doesn't work the first time or second time or third time, try, try again!  That particular blue/purple I was trying to pull from the lights of the tree was tricky.  


I started out with the awesome periwinkle blue card stock I had.  I layered it with a 12x12 acetate sheet with words on it.  I saw it at Michael's and thought it would be different to use and I loved the way it looked.  It's from their Recollections collection called Signature Especial.


The wording was perfect and it really popped on top of the blue background.  I have never used this type of paper before...and here comes LESSON #2 for this layout.  Adhering acetate paper is tricky and I'm sure I didn't use the correct adhesive but when I stuck it down using my crafters tape you could see it.  Luckily, I was smart enough to just do a small amount on each of the 4 corners.  The top was an easy fix because of the border I put up there but the bottom, not so much.  So I had to cover the one corner with the trees...the other corner I couldn't find anything that looked right so, for this lesson..make sure you know your material before starting a layout.


After I glued down the paper I decided where I wanted my pictures and how I wanted to back them.   I found this awesome silvery, iridescent paper at Michael's.  It was beautiful and I wish I would have bought more of it.  I backed both of my photos with it and set them aside.  I wanted to pull a little red out of the Christmas tree in the photo so I used my Fancy Pants Glitter Cut Flurry of Hearts I had gotten from Scrapbooking-for-less.com It pulled out just enough of the red and the purple, so I just let enough peek through to add a splash of those colors.

I adhered the photos down, one straight on the background and the other with foam dots to give a dimensional look.  I added the word LOVE from Thickers Skyler collection.  The word "BELIEVE" I have had in my stash for a while and have no idea where I got it.  I also used the words "SWEET MOMENT" for the Title from Amy Tangerine. 

The Title words are white foam so it took me a while to match the colors using Nuvo Mica Mists in  NEBULA BLUE and some of my Radiant Pearls in WILD ORCHID.  The colors matched perfectly so I did this with the angel border (that I made using white card stock and an embossing tool with an Angel playing a trumpet) at the top as well.  I also loved the color so much that I did the trees in the corner.  They came as plain wood veneer and this color worked out well. 


I did some journaling on my computer and printed in out on clear labels and stuck it to the scrap of that awesome silver radiant paper I used to back the photos.  I also used it with one of my Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Squares Etched Die frames to make the cute frame at the top and added a sticker that says "YOU MAKE MY HEART SO HAPPY".  

The remainder of that paper was punched into 2 circles where I put flairs on top to really make them pop.  I special ordered one of those flairs that says "OMA LOVE" (she calls me Oma).  I get most of my flairs from Scrappin Happy Studios who did this special order for me (I have a few more in different colors and different sayings).  So if you want to really make a special layout, don't hesitate to ask her for a special order!

I added a couple of more flairs, a black heart to pull some more of the black out, 2 small chipboard sticker hearts in red and a Christmas brad in red to pull some of the red out of the tree in the photo.  
ITEMS USED:
  1. Epoxy flairs - OMA LOVE, CURRENTLY READING, TIME TO GET COZY AND READ Scrapping Happy Studio
  2. "Sweet Moments" foam writing - Amy Tangerine (love, love, love these.  They come white but you can color them any color you want to go with your layout!
  3. "This is my Story" puffy sticker - PinkFresh Studio
  4. Nuvo Mica Mist - NEBULA BLUE - Acherryontop.com
  5. "Remember This" sticker- American Craft Thickers- OneCanoetwo (Hazelwood collection)
  6. Silver iridescent paper - to back photo - Michael's
  7. Christmas Brad - Echo Park - ACherryontop.com 
  8. Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Squares Etched Die - Scrapbook.com

Santa Came - Layout #8 of the 365 scrapbook challenge and what lessons I learned with this layout

Hey Newbies,

I'm here working on number 8 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019 (and the lessons I learned).  I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.

Today I'm working on a 12x12 Christmas layout.  It's an oldie but one of my favorite pictures of my son at Christmas, in his little feet-sy PJ's, so cute!

I started with a 12x12 Christmas paper from Lawn Fawn that I got from Acherryontop.com I know I have said it before but I have to say it again...all of these non-traditional Christmas colors that are out this year, I'm in love with!  Don't get me wrong, I love a good red and green Christmas but these colors this year are amazing!  Lawn Fawn had a pack that I fell in L-O-V-E with so I scooped them up.  This particular one has little tiny white snow flakes on a blue background.
I used the tear technique when backing my photo.  I like the look of it and use it on about half of my layouts that I do.  I had some scrapes left over from a previous layout using these papers and chose 2 more of Lawn Fawn's Christmas papers in those awesome non-traditional colors. I also used a piece left over and put it down about a 1/4 into my background just to give some more color to it.

I had these paper silver glitter snowflakes in my stash and decided to use a few of them.    The trees are made from a die that I got at Hobby Lobby using my Big Shot.  I used parchment paper (cutting it with the same die) and overlaid it to the top of the Christmas trees.

So, here is LESSON 1 for this layout.  Using parchment paper is cheap and looks kinda cool I think, but using adhesives on it is a bit tricky so I ended up using my Sharpie permanent marker in GOLD METALLIC to make "ornaments" on the tree to cover the adhesive up.  Easy, peasy....

I added some Echo Park sticky brads to the layout and I fussy cut a reindeer and a penguin from a Christmas note pad I had laying around the house and used my X-yron sticker maker to make them into stickers.  The colors work and they are Christmas characters🤗  Which brings us to LESSON #2 for this layout, just because it isn't "meant" for scrapbooking or bought in the scrapbooking isle doesn't mean you can't use it for scrapbooking!

I wanted to break up the color in that strip I laid down with the colored snowflakes so I added some tear drop shaped plastic rhinestones.  Here comes LESSON #3, after painstakingly glueing each and every one of those down, I didn't really like it...but I didn't hate it.  Since it was almost the last thing I did and I didn't absolutely hate it, I lived with it and didn't trash the entire layout.  So, if you DON'T ABSOLUTELY hate it, keep it, because this is not a cheap hobby!

Lastly, I used a cool script font from PinkFresh Studio to do the Title - SANTA CAME - (although it's hard to read the single letters and you almost have to guess at them, but once they are together they look amazing)!  I believe I picked those up from Michaels.



Well, there you have it...number 8 of my 365 layout challenge for 2019.  Thanks for following along on my journey of 365 scrapbook page challenge that I am doing, and reading about the lessons I'm learning along the way!  Please subscribe if you like this post and to see if I make it to number 3-6-5 by the end of this year!

#7 of my 365 Layout Challenge 2019, and the lessons I've learned -Coffee, All Bummed Out

Hey guys, As you know I have challenged myself to 365 pages of layouts for 2019 (being 12x12, 6x6, cards, what ever project gets me going is what I am counting).  

I started this challenge this year because I wanted to complete an album I have been working on for my son that I had started this summer.  It's from the time he was born until he graduated from High School.  Then a few other life events came up like, he got married, I have a new grand baby, my daughter-in-law graduated College, so the albums started adding up and I knew if I didn't start challenging myself I wouldn't get his done.  As of right now, it has its own zip code!  Which means I have to get to a cut off point soon.

I started to get burned out on just doing that one album because of all of the amazing photos I was taking and being sent of my new grand baby and life in general.  So I started doing pages of other albums which really brings me to why I started the 3-6-5 Challenge. I have to get to scrappin! 

This is number 7 of my 2019 Challenge.  It's Titled - COFFEE, ALL BUMMED OUT.  This layout is pretty funny because every time I'm visiting my mom in Florida I some how get on a Starbucks kick or, um, obsession if you will.  It drives her crazy (she's not a big Starbucks fan).  I could sniff out a Starbucks a mile away!  Needless to say, most of the time they were iced lattes in that Florida heat and they just didn't last long enough😕

I started this layout using a technique I saw on YouTube by Nancy Stamps.  The stuff you can do with Versamark is amazing!  I actually had a jar of this shimmer powder stuff that I got in a mystery bag that I purchased not too long ago and had no clue what it was for until I watched her video.  
I used it with the Versamark  and my stamp set from Ink Road Stamps to make my own background.  To do this I also used some Shimmerz Paints in VIBEZ EGG NOGGIN, CREAMEEZ GREAT FRUIT, Shimmeringz -  BRONZED BOMBSHELL and a few splatters of Inklingz BAHAMA MAMMA,  using the packaging and splatters techniques.    I mean look at this Shimmer!  I used an off white heavy card stock with some clear gesso prior to using the Shimmerz and Versamark. 

Of course this blog wouldn't be mine if I didn't have some lessons in it so here is LESSON #1, when using a shimmer powder...it's best to NOT cover the entire page with it (unless that's the look you are going for).  Me, I just wanted the latte cups to shimmer but this was the first time using this powder and I didn't know what I was doing and it got everywhere!  But I'm not gonna lie, I liked it so I used it instead of trashing it.

After making the background, I backed the photos with Pink Paislee -TURN THE PAGE - 6x6 paper collection. 

I found this amazing paper and sticker page from A Cherry On Top Echo Park coffee collection!  The colors of the paper pack were to die for and it matched perfectly with the sticker page! 





I took  some of the paper from Echo Park to do a die cut of a latte cup using my Big Shot and journaled on it!  I loved the way it turned out!


So I used a lot of stickers from this collection.  There were a ton of little stickers that fit perfectly on the "sleeve" of my stamped latte cup!  I thought that was awesome!

I also punched out a heart from one of my Starbucks packages and then added some awesome epoxy flairs from ScrappinHappyStudio.  Guys, if you like flairs, her collection is AMAZING!  She has everything from coffee to kids sayings, to hearts to SPECIAL ORDERS!  I highly recommend her Etsy Shop!

I finished this layout with the ALL BUMMED OUT clear sticker that I in my stash.


Well there you have it, #7 of my 365 day layout challenge that I'm doing in 2019.  I hope you liked it and thanks for following me on this challenge.  I will always try to link up to the items I've used so that if you like something you can find it (and if I can get a discount for you I will link that up too)!
