Happy Friday Y’all!!!

Kristin here with some of the stamps from the Close to my Heart catalog that you can still order from the store …you can look at all the wonderful products from CTMH and they wil come straight to your door …so awesome ..just love it!!!

I am trying to work on a few more pages in the Disneyland album that I and working on for my nieces and thought the Snapshot Memories Stamps with the Magic, Life Captured and the washi tape stamp would look so cool embossed with embossing powder and add a little gold to the page …here is a link to the Princess Gold embossing powder HERE And then this is the left side of the page with the kids hugging Anna and she is talking to them ..so sweet with my favorite flair pop of color, and then this stamp “The Stuff that Life is made of with some fun Relish also!!!

And then the other side I went gold crazy with this page with the kids getting the princesses autographs …such a special moment in time …love how the stamps worked for exactly what I needed for this page!!!

All of her washi tape is to die for when the store opens back up …you are going to want it all!!!!

Please check back to find out when the store is going to open back up after she moves!!!

Disney Love

Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!!!

Today we have Kristin on the blog sharing a couple of adorable Disney layouts with, of course, some TCP Flair! Take a look!

Flair flair and more flair!! I had so much fun using my flair from The Crafty Pickle to make these fun pages with some of my Disney photos!!!
HERE is a link to everything in the store …you will love everything and she puts fun sequins in every little bag ….so awesome!!!
I saw this flair in the store and knew exactly what page I was going to use the “D” for …I took these pictures out the car window as we were driving into the park and had to think how I was going to scrap them???
But this awesome Disney themed flair was just perfect to go with the sign entering the park!!!

And then here is the close-up of the cute flair:

On this fun page that we took at the castle in the Magic Kingdom in Florida I had fun using some paste on this page and then adding the Watercolor hearts button flair on top of the Mickey ears and under the wood piece and then I added the “pop” of red to the page …so I needed to add the word Magic to this page also …love it!!!

Here are some of the close-ups:

I love all of the texture of Kristin’s layouts and who wouldnt love scrapbooking anything Disney!!! Thanks Kristin!

Have a great weekend!
Happy Crafting,

Here is some new flair to start off the new year for me and some new paper to play with from Close to my Heart out of the new catalog December 2014- March 2015 Seasonal Expressions 1!!!

Here is my page that I completed:

Elf Mini Album with Kristin

Published on December 18, 2014December 18, 2014 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi again crafty friends!

Today designer, Kristin, is showing off her elf on the shelf mini album and it is so adorable! Take a look!

So so so in love with this flat flair From The Crafty Pickle …this is some of the different flair I am going to be using in my “Elf on a Shelf” album!!!

For documenting in my album I will be using the Whimsical December “Real” glitter flair HERE for the different days of the week of the photos… but first I wanted to add a see through page with some fun embellishments along the side ..I punched some snow flakes from my leftover Pathfinders Collection from CTMH, added some Christmas Holiday Sequins from the etsy shop, and for sure the personalized Elf button flair to the front pocket!!!

Then on the first page I used the CTMH “Heartstrings” paper pack paper, mini calendar stamp,whimsical december glitter flair, and the star stamp from artiste set.

On the third page I made a little pocket with the clear envelope from the stamp set and added Christmas Holiday sequins and a deer, Then on the top I added on of my “Elf on the shelf” personalized flair …so cute!!!

I also added to this page the Red pattern color pop flair and some more of the wonderful sequins!!

Thanks for looking at my album!!!

Is that not too cute! Great job Kristin. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Happy Crafting,

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today, TCP Designer, Kristin, has some adorable handmade pocket cards she is sharing perfect for this season. Take a look!

Hi Kristin here with my first blog post for The Crafty Pickle and I thought that this “Thankful Heart” stamps set just screamer for me to make some pocket pages cards for the kids to write what they were “Thankful” for this year!!

On the top left hand corner cards I thought that I would put a 5X7 picture of my family and I would slide it under the “Thankful Heart” stamped sentiment, then on the cards the kids would write over the wood grain embossing folders from Close to my Heart and all the different techniques I tried with the 3 different leafs stamps that were in the Thankful Heart stamp set, and then I added the arrow button flair set on the cards for you to follow your eyes around the layout!!!

And then here are the close-ups:

Product I used:

Pathfinder Paper Pack

Thankful Heart Stamp Set

Arrow button flair set of 6

Black & Brown Stazon

Ranger White Super Fine Embossing Powder
Paper Trimmer, Foam Mat & Corner Rounder

Thank you for looking at my work!!

-Kristin

Thanks Kristin, adorable cards!!!

Happy Crafting!

Design Team Closeup: Julie Akinina and Kristin Fougeron

Happy Monday Pickle Pals!

I am back to introduce you to two of our new designers!

Julie Akinina

You can find Julie’s blog HERE.

My name is Julia, I’m 23 and I’m from Russia. I have been scrapbooking for about three years. At the begining I did only greeting cards, but now I enjoy making Layouts, mini-albums, and other scrapbook projects. I was designing for different russian Challenge Blogs. I like to watch at my progress and I want to develope my skills more and more. I think my style is bright, clean and light… with a little bit of splashes ( though my first projects at the beginning of my fascination with scrapbooking were in vintage style) Last year I became a big fan of the CAS style in cardmaking. I’m so excited to be the part of the Crafty Pickle Design Team and I’m ready to create many interesting projects and share it with people!

Kristin Fougeron

You can find Kristin’s blog HERE.

I’m married to my hubby of twenty five years, I have two rowdy boys ages 8 and 16 years old and I love to read other peoples blogs, go on adventures, pin stuff on pinterest, cook, craft, and am a reality show junkie. I ‘m a sucker for a little romance or a sappy chick flick. I would say my scrapbooking style would be “organized chaos”. And this hobby has become a way for me to connect with others, express myself, preserve memories and relax with my friends

I will be back tomorrow to introduce you to more talented ladies!

Happy Crafting!
