8x8 GEARZ

Happy Friday Yall,

Gosh it is hard to believe Christmas is next weekend.  Were does the time go! 

Here is a 8x8 page I made.  I have not put a picture on it because I'm waiting to take one that fits this page perfect.  I'm thinking a picture of my son when me makes that confused face after I tell him to do something.  LOL  Sounds perfect to me because you can almost see his wheels turning in his head. LOL

  I have been trying to use all my scraps lately so please bare with me on several post were I don't know the name of papers.  The pokadot and brown paper is a pattern paper I LOVE but do not know the name of.  If anyone does please let me know.  The background white paper is from "scenicroutepaper" and the grey is from "papertreyink".

I used "Indie Art" cricut cartridge.  I cut the gears at 3.25, 2.75, and 2.0 on real dial size.  I added pop dots between the layers to add interest.  I also flipped the payers to show each side of the paper.  ( I love double sided papers)

I glued down the 3.25 and 2.0 gears and used the 2.75 one to track around with a white jelly roll pen.  I think that was a perfect way to use up some blank space. 

  I also took the centers of the gears and used them to finish the page.  I flip the papers to add color.  I doodled all around with a white jelly roll pen and ink all the edges with Tim Holtz "Brushed Corduroy" ink.

I hope Yall like it!!

8x8 hanger

Hey Yall....Happy Thursday!

This 8x8 hanger was made from Papertrey Ink paper stack "The Officials".  The green is also from Papertrey Ink but rather from their card stock collection.

 I used an EK boarder punch (I didn't write the name on this one).  The circles are from QuicKutz circle dies.

 The buttler fly is a Martha Stuart punch.  I stamped the left side with words that I was feeling in that picture.  The stamps came from Close to my Heart "Say it in Style" stamp set.

 I added some eye lets at the top and hung it with garden twine.  I also added bling from Bazzill.

 I made the flower from a 1.5 scallop punch from Stampin Up. (also from the same paper collection)  I inked everything with Tim Holtz "Brushed Corduroy" ink.  I also doodled with a white jelly roll pen.

I hope Yall like it!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #98

Hey Yall,

Over at Cricut Cardz Challenge.....the challenge  is to make 2 tags from any cartridge and color you choose.  Well I didn't use any cartridge but rather a few dies from Sizzix. 

 The red paper is a large scrap I had.  The pattern papers are from "My Mind's Eye."

The tag die is Sizzix "Tag #2" from Brenda Pinnick.  The letters are from Sizzix "Round-A-Bout" alphabet set.  The scallop is from Cuttlebug...its a 2' die.

The twine is from "Scarppy Mom Stamps".  I used Tim Holtz "Walnut Stain" and doodled with a white and black jelly roll pen.  I also used foam tape to add dimension!

I hope Yall like it!

Goodie bags

Hey Yall and Happy Tuesday!

I have been making some goodie bags for my sons' teachers at school.  I decided this year I was not going to make them all the same but rather try to use some of my scraps.  PREFECT!!  The only thing I do not like about make these bags is I always eat too much of the candy!  LOL

Most of the papers are from "My Mind's Eye" Christmas collections.

I used several punches and stamps.  Some of the stamps I am not sure the name and others are from "Close to My Heart."  The bags I got from a scrap store years ago.

I hope Yall like it!
