My Favorite Things Friday

September 21, 2012 by

It’s finally the weekend and I totally feel like I accomplished a lot this week.  I am still behind on posts, pinning, and craft projects, but I did get a few big things done this week.  I don’t know about you but I am already planning my Holiday classes and projects.  For my favorite things Friday post,  I made a project using two of my favorite things… Items from Tim Holtz & Melissa Frances.

 

I call this my Christmas in a  Box~  I love the configurations boxes from Tim Holtz, this is the first one that I actually painted.  I usually cover it with his tape or paper.  I used his hardware and trinkets.  You can see I used Melissa Frances products too.  I used her paper, tags, trees, tinsel, key, lock, and glitter.  I made this for my two daughters.  I have Santa featured as much as I could, since my girls still believe in Santa.

New Year’s Giveaway & 6 years ago…

January 1, 2012 by

Happy New Year!

Today I am working on my Bucket List, To Do list, and my New Year Resolutions list.  While thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2012 I started to think… how did I get where I am?

6 years ago I was a proud owner of my own Live Trivia  business, which I owned for 7 years.  I sold my business and then for 10 months I tried to figure out what I wanted to do next.  I knew I didn’t want to  go work for someone after owning my own business , so I had to start another business.   I knew that I wanted another job where I was working with  people all the time, sharing something that I loved doing, and being creative at the same time.  Hosting Trivia was so much fun, so my new job had to be fun too!   I also knew that my new business had to be something I could do no matter where I lived.

I had to think about what I enjoyed doing and how I could make it into a full-time job.  I was a mother, wife, and a scrapbooker.  That’s it, I love Scrapbooking!  Hello,  Scrap It Girl!  The name of my business made sense at the time since while owning my trivia business I was known as Trivia Girl, no one knew my real name.  I figured it worked for 7 years, I would try it again.

So here I am in 2012 starting my 5th year as Scrap It Girl.  I am doing what I love!  I am crafting everyday, designing for a few local stores, writing a few crafty articles for my favorite online site PaperCrafters Corner, and I am teaching all kinds of craft classes at 6 different locations.

So if you don’t mind I am a little excited for this New Year to get started! I have big plans for my 5th Year  and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.  Let’s start out with 4 giveaways in January, followed by some prizes in February when I return from the Winter CHA in California and I turn 40!  Oh my…

Here is the 1st giveaway for 2012.  All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what’s on your bucket list for 2012 and  subscribe to my posts, all you need is an email address.

New Years Giveaway!

Here are 10 things I love to craft with:  American Crafts pink flower trim, K & Company’s Smash book products, Maya Road’s vintage trinkets, Webster’s Pages Flowers, Acrylic Stamps, Vintage Buttons, Tim Holtz stain, Darice Embossing folders, any thing from Martha Stewart, and I love Melissa Frances’ 6×6 paper packs.  Good luck and don’t forget to comment & subscribe in order to win.  I will draw a winner on Sunday January 8th~  Please stop by Live Trivia on Facebook and PaperCrafter’s Corner, tell them Scrap It Girl sent you~

Melissa’s House & A Challenge: Melissa Frances Products

December 7, 2011 by

I am a huge fan of Melissa Frances and I have really enjoyed using her Deck the Halls themed paper this month.  When Hannah’s (Scrapbook Headquarters in Antioch)  asked me to alter this house for their display I knew I would use this paper.  I tried really hard to not use any of my other favorite products.  I usually have a button, a little ribbon, and some kind of hardware of Tim Holtz, but take a look, no ribbon, no buttons, and no Tim.

Products I used:  MF 6×6 Deck the Halls paper, MF Deck the Halls holiday Cardstock Stickers, embellishments: 1 Dorchester, 4 Edwardian Frames, 1 set of the sculpture embellishments, & 1 mini holiday “Merry” flash card.  Other items used:  Glossy Accents, Perfect pearls, Snow Writer, sanding sticks, leaf green acrylic paint, heat gun, extreme glitter red paint.

I would love to challenge you to make something using some of your favorite Melissa Frances Products.  It can be any of her products, new or old.  It can even be a card, layout, or an altered item.  The challenge will run from December 8th to December 29th.. yep 3 weeks to play with your favorite MF products.  The winning project will be announced on December 30th.

Love Challenges?  Check out this awesome Challenge Site for more Challenges: http://scrapchallenge.com/

I hope you enjoy using MF products as much as I do.  The lucky winner will receive these goodies:

Altered Art Projects for Hannah’s

November 22, 2011 by

Little Yellow Bicycle Ski Sweater Winter Day

 

Melissa Frances Deck The Halls Altered Art Frame

7 Gypsies & Graphic 45 School Day Sign

Here are 3 projects I just turned into Hannah’s in Antioch to use as a Display.. stop by to pick up your supplies to make your own.

The 1st project is a frame that I decorated with Little Yellow Bicycle Ski Sweater paper, glitter chipboard shapes, pebbles green buttons and Tim Holtz knob & corners.  Glossy Accents Adhesive

The 2nd project was a different frame & I used Melissa Frances Deck the Halls paper and stickers.  Tim Holtz knob, ornate plate, corners and paints/stains/inks.  Glossy Accents Adhesive

The 3rd project is the back side of the frame that I did “one post” ago.  I know it looks like the frame I did earlier, but I wanted to use up the rest of the supplies and put something on the back of the sign.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think…
