Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!!

  Today designer, Mona, is sharing her project life pages with us once again. Take a look at her use of TCP Flair within her project life!

Hi guys!

As I said, I will show you my last pages from 2014. This is the last one – week 52.

I’m so sorry, you probably are up to date with your spreads, me too ( almost), but this one had to wait a little to be shown here 🙂

I used Studio Calico cards form Pl kits, some old embellishments from Sc kits and of course flairs from The Crafty Pickle. Take a look how great they are!

Thank you so much for sharing, Mona. As always, LOVE your Project Life pages!

Watercolor your Valentine’s Day with Treasa

Published on by Taniesa2 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!

  I hope you had a great weekend! Treasa has some fantastic ideas for you using TCP’s Watercolor hearts flair set. Take a look.

 

Hi there, I can not believe that it’s almost Valentines day. This year is already going by super fast. Today I wanted to share with you all some Valentines Day cards that I made for my Project Life album using watercolors. I was totally inspired these Watercolor hearts flair badges in The Crafty Pickle shop.

So I cut me down some 3×4 blank cards and got out my watercolor pencils and started creating. Here are the cards that I came up with.

I hope that these cards inspire you to pull out your watercolors and create some fabulous cards. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

Project Life with Mona

Published on by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

  Today we have another fabulous project life spread with Mona. Take a look!

Hello !
I’m back here with one of the last 3 pages of 2014 from my Project Life album. Who else is still in previous year with PL?  But I’m back on track again, so my new pages will show up here soon.

For this spread I used Studio Calico cards from last 2 Pl kits, some embellishments as weel, but  the most important are flairs from The Crafty Pickle, which I like so much.

This is kind of embellishment, which fits everywhere, in every PL page.
At the end of this post, you can find links for flairs I used. TFL!

Flairs I used:
– glitter symbols 
– vintage camera 
– everything is awesome 
– speech bubble 
– black&white patterned

Do you like badges / flairs? How do you like to use them?
I’m curious if anybody likes to use them on PL pages, as much as I do.

Thanks for sharing Mona! I always love your Project life pages!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Hi Happy Crafty Friends!!!

  It is finally Friday! We made it! I dont know about you but this week was a long one and I am ready for the weekend and some scrappy time!

 Today designer, Stephanie, has TWO projects to share with you using TCP flair. I hope you love her projects as much as I do, Take a look!

_________________________________________________________________________

I have two projects to share today featuring flair from The Crafty Pickle . The first one is a card that I made for my daughter who is trying out for her school gymnastics team this week! She was nervous & pretty certain that she wouldn’t make the team, so I wanted to make her a card to give her a little extra encouragement!!
I started with this sketch from Cardabilities:
    
I used my Martha Stewart punch to create the branches in the background. The “shine” flair button is from TCP & can be found here .
I love the combination of colors & textures here! Hope she enjoys the cad too (even if she doesn’t make the team!) I will always be her biggest fan, regardless!
My next project is a layout that started with sketch from Sketchabilities:
I just love a good sketch & this one really caught my eye! Sketchabilities is also teaming up with the challenge site, White With One for this sketch challenge. You are to use white & the color “placid blue”. Here is my page:
I used scrap papers from my stash (I am on a roll using them up nowadays!) and the flair here is also from The Crafty Pickle.
The “snapshots” flair is from their adorable Bright Everyday set. This set comes with 6 buttons that are prefect for any layout, card or PL spread!

The “shake your flakes” flair button comes by itself & is the perfect embellishment for all your winter projects!!  It’s too cute!

I added in other embellishments to complete my page and give it more dimension from Elle’s Studio, Pink Paislee, October Afternoon & Studio Calico.
Thanks for visiting on this Friday!
~Stephanie

What’s your word for 2015?

Published on by Taniesa10 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends, 

  Designer, Treasa, is up on the blog today sharing how she is incorporating her one little word into her project life album. Take a look!

Hi there, today I wanted to share my word that I had chosen for this new year. This year I chose the word simplify. I chose this word for numerous reasons but most of all to just make my life easier. I always like to document my word for the year in my first page in my PL album. This year I wanted to really have my word stand out and make it special, so I added some custom flair badges from The Crafty Pickle. I even designed the simplify badge and Taniesa was awesome to create it for me. And I have to say I love how it turned out.  Below are the two cards I created to spotlight my word Simplify for the year 2015. With the first card I added the Simplify flair badge and wanted that to be the focal point of the card. In the second card I added the 2015 flair badge to emphasize the year, then I added my journaling on why I chose my word.

So whats your word for the year 2015? I would love to hear how you came to choose your word and how you plan on documenting it. How would you like to win your own word flair badge along with a 2015 flair badge. All you need to do is leave me a comment on my blog HERE by Saturday Jan 25th at 10:00 pm. I will then draw a winner on Sunday Jan 26th. Also during this time, Taniesa is offering 15% off purchase of $10 or more using coupon code TCP2015 now through Sunday! Good luck and I can’t wait to hear your 2015 word.

Until  next time,

Shake it off with Treasa

Happy Sunday everyone!

  Treasa has a special Sunday post for you all. Check out the awesome handmade project life cards she made for a swap she is in.

I totally love this catchy song from Taylor Swift ,so much in fact that I created a PL card using it as my inspiration. I created the card in my Silhouette software then I printed it out and used the print and cut feature to cut the card out for me. I then backed it with some black card stock and added the music note flair from The Crafty Pickle as a final touch. I love how it gives it some bling with the silver glitter.

So remember to keep on cruising and don’t stop grooving….

Thanks Treasa, I think this is one of my favorite cards you have made yet!

Project Life with Monika

Published on by Taniesa3 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

   Have you all started your Project life albums for 2015? I still have the holidays to finish up before I dive into a new album. Designer, Mona, is finishing up her 2014 with this awesome page she has to share today. Take a look!

I’m still big fan of The Crafty Pickle Badges. I love to use them in my PL pages. I made week47 using some of them. I love especially the glitter one, with Happy Birthday words. I also used speach buble and others ( I’m listing them at the end of my post).
Here is my PL page. TFL!

Flairs I used:

– november

– speech bubble

Thanks so much for sharing today, Mona. I love your page and your little boy is just adorable!

Happy Crafting,

Snow…. in California?

Published on by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

  Happy New Year! I hope the holidays treated you well and that you’re off to a great 2015! Today, designer Carrie has a great first layout of 2015 showing her home in california covered in snow! It doesn’t happen often so this was a nice surprise! Check it out!

Happy New Year.  I can hardly believe it’s 2015.

Today I am sharing my first winter layout. This page will actually be at the end of my 2014 family album.  We had a rare snow fall where I live in Murrieta California.  It has not snowed here in ten years, and even then it was just a dusting.  We actually got about a foot of snow that lasted several days.

For this page I used a ton of beautiful shiny sequins from TheCraftyPicklethey came in the Winter Mix pack.    Can I just tell you that I am a bit obsessed with sequins right now. They are such an easy embellishment and very reasonably priced.  Easy to apply with a bit of liquid glue or mini glue dots.

Here is a closer look at some cards I created by embossing some snowflakes onto vellum and then adding a bit of shimmer watercolors.  I of course added some sequins to embellish these cards too.

When you order flair from Taniesa your flair is packaged with sequins/confetti in a glassine bag.

Its like a little party when you open the cute little package. I use these sequins all the time, they are the perfect accent to any project.

This glitter flair is perfect on my pages, adds that special touch I like to set the feeling I want to document.
Of course I had to add one of my new blue color pop flairs to this card. It matches my sequins too.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy Scrappin in the New Year

Carrie

Thanks Carrie! I LOVE your layout and I am a wee bit Jealous of your snow (we didn’t get any snow in my part of California). 

 A big thank you to all of my readers. You have made my journey with my blog and the growth of my business(s) so fun and so worthwhile for me. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Happy Crafting!
