Dragon's Baseball Game

Yes, I know, this Layout says Ohio 2010!

I am a bit behind in some of my scrapbooking!

But it is okay, because I am catching up and have lots of supplies to do so!

I have family that lives in Ohio that we go to visit every summer.

The pictures were taken at a Dragon's baseball game that our cousins took my brother and I to.

This is a fun and simple layout.

I started with a striped scrapbook paper and then matted my pictures on an orange-yellow cardstock.

I then added three rhinestones on each.

I added a cardstock flower in the middle of the page.

One side is accented with patterned orange and green buttons,

the other with a tag.

Thanks for stopping by!

April and May Dry Erase Menu

I decided to combine the months of April and May on my dry erase menu and use the quote "April showers bring May flowers" to build upon.

If you would like a background on my dry erase menu,

you can view my first blog post on it here:

http://ktscreativeinsights.blogspot.com/2013/01/dry-erase-menu.html

I used a Spring themed 12x12 scrapbook sheet for the background.

I then used a 8x8 sheet for the foreground.

I picked something that had some decoration but was mostly plain in the center so that the menu would be easily read.

I used my Cricut to cut out the letters for the headline

"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

and glued the letters on.

I used paper flowers to accent the headline and the 8x8 paper,

using glittered brads to hold them together and then glue dots to hold them to the paper.

That's our menu for the month of April and May! :)

Spring Time Necklace

I have had this gorgeous flower charm sitting in my box for awhile now.

Now that Spring is here I thought it would make a great Spring time necklace.

I started by picking three colors of seed beads to match the colors in the charm.

The charm is silver colored in background, with a gold color and bronze color for the flowers.

The flowers are accented with clear stones.

Pulling from those colors, I used grey/silver seed beads, brown/bronze seed beads, and yellow/gold seed beads. I strung one strand of each.

The strands are loosely braided together.

The necklace measures apx. 20" long (not including charm).

The charm is apx. 1.75" long, including the bail, and 0.5" wide.

It is a charm that is from one of the lines put out by Hirschberg Schutz & Co., Inc.

Enchanted Forest

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner!

Although I love the holiday, I do not have many crafting items relating to it!

I had to get creative to create a card for St. Patrick's Day!

When I think of St. Patrick's Day,

I think of little Leprechauns running through a magical forest,

chasing fairies and finding gold.

I had some pretty forest paper in my stash, so I used that to build off of...

The background is a forest scene.

The bottom right corner is adorned with green and yellow flowers, half-back pearls, and a decorated button.

There is a green flower with a half-back pearl in the upper lefthand corner.

Three half-back pearls descend down from there.

Three playful birds are stamped and colored then decorated with glitter beside the tree.

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop

Baby Crib

I found a very cute set of baby stickers.

The sheet consisted of a crib, a mobile, and several other small accents.

I bought it with the thought to make a card with them.

This is what I came up with:

I based all my embellishments off of the colors in the crib sticker.

I picked a striped paper that had blues, greens, and yellows in it.

I cut two strips of it and glued them on either side of the card.

I then centered the crib at the bottom of the card,

placing the mobile sticker above it.

I used adhered plaid bows to the bumper of the crib.

I placed yellow pearl stars on top of the bows.

On the mobile, I adhered several pearl stars to make it more three-diminsional.

Cards such as this one are available in my Etsy shop

Hello! Hope everyone is having a good Sunday and staying safe in anticipation of the storm.
