Published on December 30, 2014December 30, 2014 by Taniesa5 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Ever get in a creative slump? Designer, Stephanie, took a sketch and made it her own with accents of TheCraftyPickle sequins and some flair. Check it out!

Hey y’all! I hope this day is treating you well! We are fighting off colds around here & trying to get healthy for the New Year!

I have a post to share today featuring flair & sequins from The Crafty Pickle. I made a layout using this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:

Here is my page:

I started by stamping the circles on my cardstock. I then added strips of paper from my stash. I love, love, love using up scraps!!

The black & white striped paper is from Glitz & the multi-colored snowflake paper is from Imaginisce. The stars are from Pink Paislee & the journal card is from Pretty Little Studio.

Here is a closer look at the red & white flair button from TCP. I love how festive it is! I also love how well it matches the paper here from Elle’s Studio. You can get a good look at the Christmas sequins mix here too.

The crown is from Um Wow Studios & I misted it red then added some coarse glitter.

This arrow flair button is glittery & the perfect accent to my Christmas page!

There’s more of the yummy Christmas sequins & the ornament die cut is from Pink Paislee. My alphas are from Fancy Pants.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a crafty day!

Thanks Stephanie! I LOVE your layout!!!

Happy Crafting!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Designer, Stephanie, is on the blog today with her christmas layout using the Merry and Bright flair as well as the winter sequins mix! Too cute… and will you look at that santa photo, totally ADORABLE!

I love looking back on pictures from Christmases past and my project today shares a photo of the kids with Santa in 2009. They were just babies!! And this is my favorite picture with Santa, ever!

I have used the Winter Sequins Mix from The Crafty pickle, along with their Merry & Bright flair button from the December set. These are the perfect compliment to any layout, be it Christmas-themed or not!

I punched the snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punch & the deer head is a new punch from EK Success. The black paper & the “Enjoy every day” journal card are from 7Dots Studio.

I used one of my favorite date stamps from Dear Lizzy to stamp the “I Love This” sentiment. And the fun pink polka dot paper is from Elle’s Studio.

Be sure to stop by The Crafty Pickle shop to browse all of the great products that are offered!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks Stephanie! I love how you used non traditional colors with this layout too!

Happy Crafting,

Hi Crafty Friends!

Check out the absolutely adorable birthday cards that TCP designer, Stephanie has for you today!

Hey y’all! Hope this Tuesday finds you well & (if you’re in the US), getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday! It’s such a great time for being with family & giving thanks for all that we are fortunate enough to have. And then, it’s time to gear up for Christmas! While I love the season & am really excited, we have some birthdays to celebrate first! My nephew has a birthday in November & my youngest nephew’s birthday
is on December 12. Leah’s birthday is December 10 & she will be 12 this year! Holy-time is flying!!!
So before I dive head first into the Christmas season, I made some birthday cards. Both feature flair & sequins from The Crafty Pickle.

I used the Birthday button flair set & the Winter Sequins mix for both of my cards.

For my second card, I started with sketch #111 fromCardabilities and made Leah’s birthday card

I love the shimmer of this “Happy Birthday” flair! It’s great for a 12 year-old girl!!

be sure to visit The Crafty Pickle shop to see these products, and more!

Now that these birthday cards are behind me, I can make more Christmas projects!!

Have a good one!

Hi Everyone!

Up on the blog today we have a terrific Project Life layout from Stephanie! Take a look!

Hey y’all! Hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday.
I have a PL spread to share today featuring flair and sequins from The Crafty Pickle!

I have used the Autumn flair and the Autumn Sequins mix. The flatter back of these flair buttons make them easy to add to my PL pages & they fit in my album without a ton of bulk! Check out the awesome selection in the store.

The two larger journal cards are from WRMK & the smaller “Gratitude” card is from MAMBI. Fall is one of my favorite seasons & I adore these photos from a trip to an apple orchard that our family likes to visit. The flair & sequins helped give the feel of Autumn to my page.

Thanks for visiting today. Keep crafty!!

~Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie! I love how the sequins and flair added the special touch to an already awesome layout!

Dont forget our blog hop is still going on now until Friday! Check out the post HERE to hop along and win some prizes!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy Friday! We’re back with two more Designer close ups today!

Stephanie Eaken

You can find Stephanie’s blog HERE.

Hi! My name is Stephanie Eaken & I am a 41 year old stay at home mom. My daughter is 11 & is in her first year of middle school (so far, so good!) & my son is a 7 year old second grader. We live in a suburb of Richmond, VA with my husband of 15 years. Drew & I met in my senior year of high school & have been together since!! We also have two dogs that we all adore & love spending time outside with.

I began scrapbooking (in the modern terms) about 11 years ago when my oldest was a baby. I have always dabbled in arts & crafts & used to love collecting momentos as a child to add to “my books”. My style is what I describe as casual-eclectic. I like to try new techniques & play around with the latest trends. I am also on the design team for Stuck On U Sketches. You can follow my blog at www.stephanie-eaken.blogspot.com.

I am thrilled to be on the team here at The Crafty Pickle and am so excited to create with the wonderful products they have to offer!!

Elodie Goossens

You can find Elodie’s blog HERE.

My name is Elodie, I’m French but I live in Belgium since 8 years , I’m 38 years old.I am married to a wonderful man and we have just had an adorable baby boy in august.

I’m nurse and I really enjoy my job!

I’ve been scrapping for around 6 years now creating mainly layouts and cards, but also love mini-albums and home decor.I love playing with stamps, stencils, inks and Chipboard.

I like shabby chic/vintage ,mixed media, free scrapbooking…I think that i’m scrap addicted !!!

I have the opportunity to liven up workshops and crop in Belgium and France.

Scrapping is my outlet, what I do for fun & I just love it!

Aren’t they adorable? You will be seeing some pretty amazing stuff from these two, I just know it!

Have a great weekend!
