for you,New Moon

 

I have been in caos over the last few days. My lovley mother bought us some fabulouse furniture from a yard sale. I have been moving the room around and a round trying to get it just perfect. I have spent so much time re-decorating that I almost missed this challenge...

The Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #79 ~ New Moon!!!

I really enjoy the Twilight saga. I had to stop moving the stuff to make something. 

I used the official movie poster for color inspiration. I love the warm forest-y color in the picture. The colors are like the Embellish Dimension & Color Challenge, organic and warm.

I used foam squares to adhere the front of this card so the wrinkle could bend naturally.

Using Forest colors makes this a great card for a guy even thought it has flowers.

So I am sharing the card over at the Cards for men Challenge No.10 ~ Outdoorsy.

I also used the CPC #167 sketch, it was perfect for adding the silver filigree brads.

Happy Krafting, Shaz

Autumn 8X8 scrapbook

Today I am showing a Autumn 8X8 scrapbook I made.

We took a week-end away for our 11th anniversary.

We went to Toronto to the Theater and Niagara Falls to the place we got married.

I used selected 3 main colors for the book: Brown Orange and Teal

I used double page layout based on Pagemaps sketches. {pagemaps}

I used Nestabilities and the Cricut for the die cuts in my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook. 

To save paper on my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook I used BOTH sided of my base card-stock.

I was able to make this album in one day. All the paper in this book is from Stampin' up. 

If you have any questions about my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook just leave a comment.

Happy Krafting, Shaz

It's was ...Farm Fresh Color Challenge and the colors were:  Brown , Kraft , and GUAVA! I grabbed my coupons and went to Michael Craft Superstore on my quest for Guava paper.

It there a good movie I have not seen? {gasp}

Hey there,

You know I love movies but Cinema Saturday featured a movie I had not seen! {GASP!} So I went to the library to borrow it...AND I could not even put it on hold.  They didn't have it in the catalogue. I am so CHEAp I hate renting a movie.   What was the mysterious movie?

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #67 - Tristan & Isolde. 

  

I did watch a bit on T.V. Shack. I think I picked up on the themes.... war... Love... abandonment.. Royalty? I colored the image to resemble Isolde, and used metal embellishment  like those on Tristan's cloths.  Since I don't know the whole story I will spare the film analysis today. The challenge was to make a gable fold card inspired by the movie. I am going to try and watch the rest tonight.

Happy Krafting, Shaz

Cute little baby Monkey card.

This Cute little Monkey card is inspired by "DEX" from the Movie: The Night at the Museum.

I used a few Challenges to create this card.

The Cinema Saturday Challenge #62 is to use a miniature on a card inspired by the movie,The Night at the Museum. I used a miniature key and a quote between Larry and Dex.

 I selected the colors from {: Embellish Magazine :} striped Purple Brown and Kraft  Challenge. I created some stripes on my card by layering Razzle-berry purple and Chocolate Chip brown ribbons.

 I used this elegant Sketch from 2Sketch4You #44

 

Then I used  Pile it on with the , Tie it Around Challenge to use 3 ribbons.  I used stitched Chocolate chip brown grosgrain, Razzle-berry purple grosgrain ribbon and Chocolate chip brown Satin ribbon.

Happy Krafting!

My guy Ian in the woods

My guy Ian has been one of my favorite stamps from the Greeting farm.

He is too cool for school! I have used him on card for both men and teen and it look good every-time. I have even used him to make an engagement and anniversary cards. This My guy Ian card was made with a sketch #5 from the 12 Sketches for Christmas. I use lots of natural embellishments to accent this cart: wood button, twine mesh, maple and birch bark pattered paper

I think that wooden buttons are my favorite buttons to embellish.

Since they are neutral so the match with everything.

My Guy Ian in the Woods

The Splendid Stamping with the Greeting Farm Blog is asking what our craft rooom/area looks like.

Pictures of the real Kraft Nook!

~*~Good day~*~         ***BAD  DAY***

L.O.L... I hope looking at my messy craft area is an encouragement.

I find it hard to keep me "creative energy going" when I stop to tidy.

That being said, I also find that tidying up give me lot of ideas of what I could be creating!?!

Happy Krafting!
