Paper Beats Rock Designs

 Hey crafty friends! The Leanne's World 101 shop is back up and running as well as the challenge blog so head over to the Facebook Group to enter your project into February Progressive Challenge. This Months image is  and I used it to create these two congratulatory cards. The first I colored to match my papers then diecut my image out.  The second I fussy cut out after coloring to match my patterned papers. After that I stamped and embossed some hexagons from the same patterns and fussy cut them out too. I did a bit of edge inking on the diecut image, popped the both on foam, and mounted them on my cards with a sentiment. I did a little bit of edge inking on the diecut image and popped both on foam before mounting them onto my cards. I love how they're like fraternal twins, very similar, but different. Head on over to the LeAnn's World 101 Facebook page and enter your project!

How's it going crafty people!? Have you entered your project into the February challenge on LeAnn's World 101 Challenge Blog yet? Here's my second entry for the month using Benji and Friend from LeAnn's World 101. I colored him up with alcohol markers, fussy cut them out, and went around the edge with a black marker to define the outline. Then I took a 5.25x 4 in blue panel and stamped it with ink roads stamps basic collage elements Volume 1. I found scrap light weight craft paper in my stash and wiped Distress Oxide ink over it in faded jeans after crumpling it up for texture. I went back to my scrap box for the blue striped paper and cut it to go across the bottom of my blue panel. I then found a red and blue pattern and cut them down to look like washi strips. When I figured out where I wanted Benji to sit I inked behind him in rain cloud by ranger and layered up some circles behind where their heads would go. I then used ink road stamps Boston Terrier/ Frenchie to s...

Hey crafty friends! It's a brand new month so that means it's time for another challenge over on the LeAnn's World 101 Blog. For February's Anything Goes challenge I created this fun bujo habit tracker in my Happy Planner using the "Sweatin It" digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101. I colored her up with alcohol markers, fussy cut her out and went around her edges with a black marker for more definition. Then I grabbed a pencil and a ruler to map out my trackers. The first two are just calendars in 2 different sizes to write down work out and meals and the last is a list with 28 boxes to fill in habits After everything was penned out I stamped my days of the week and titles with little letter stamps from my stash in Valentinesie Distress Oxides colors and Stazon black. Then it was time to really make it pretty so I grabbed out Ink Road Stamps : Self Love Club, INKed Lorraine, Bun Intended Vol 2, along with some Heidi Swapp stamps. I love the way all the gho...

I made this super chunky birthday pendant and I love it! I colored up my little girlie and put her on top of so many fun layers like rosettes, feathers, tissue and tulle. I love the way it came out! Hopefully I can post a video of the process on my YouTube soon.

 Hey hey crafty souls! Don't forget to enter your creations into LeAnn's World 101 January Challenge over on the blog! Here's my card using LeAnn and Byron Winter digi stamp from LeAnn's World 101!

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am so happy to announce that I am now a part of LeAnn's World 101 Challenge Team! Our challenge this month is "Anything Goes" and I decided to make a pop up card using the "Here's to Us" digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101. I started off by coloring in my characters's skin tones and hair before I decided on a color scheme for the card. Once I have chosen my mood board I finished coloring my characters, I added lots of sparkle with a few gel pens, and fussy cut them out. Then grabbed an A2 top fold card. I scored it at 1 inch 2.5 inches and 4 inches... And then folded it into a little box on one side of the card. I stamped out my sentiment and diecut out a little window from black cardstock with square dies. I cut rectangles to cover the bottom at 1" x 1⅜ and stamped on them as well to create sort of a carpet pattern for my scene. I diecuts a couple banners to decorate the background a lit bit more. And finished off my c...

What's up Crafty Friends!? So, I'm super sorry about the long hiatus, I was very pregnant and didn't have a lot of crafty mojo there for a few months.  Little Miss Luna finally decided to make her appearance on July 27th at 9:37 PM. Her daddy was lucky enough to be allowed to deliver her (under Dr's supervision) and was instantly surrounded in love by so many family members. Now that almost 2 months have gone by, I'm starting to get back in my groove. Perfect timing too, because my order from Ink Road Stamps came in a few days ago! As soon as I got my hands on the new Rick and Morty sets Let's Get Riggity Riggity Wrecked and Get Shwifty  I knew I wanted to make a portal card! So I grabbed my Distress Oxides in Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn, And Rustic Wilderness, and proceeded to apply the first 2 to a scrap piece of cardstock in a swirl and the Rustic Wilderness in blotches. Next I wanted to created the splotches of white, so I splattered my background with wat...
