Scraproom Sign ~ Inking It Up Crazy Guest Designer

Hello my crafty friends!

Kassidy at Inking It Up Crazy is having a "Birthday Bash" this month and has invited me to be a Guest Designer and the theme she asked me to work with is "Craft Room Decor." As many of you know I have just recently been given my own craft room. (The baby now happily lives a cross the hall.) So this project is one I have been very excited about doing as I have no cute decor on my walls. Until now!!

For my sign I used a dresser drawer front from an old broken dresser we had. Before my husband threw it away I asked him if he would save all of the fronts and drawer pulls as I was sure I was going to need them someday. :) The saying was cut out in white vinyl and the cartridge I used was "Once Upon A Princess". The black, white, and silver paper are rectangles I cut with my paper trimmer and the scissors were cut from the "Simply Charmed" cartridge. Since the dresser had some paint chipping on the edges and was a little dented up I decided to make it kind of shabby chic and sanded all around the edges. Last I added some leopard print ribbon. I plan to hang it on the drawer pull that I saved but I'm painting my craft room purple tomorrow so I decided not to put another hole in the wall and instead just hung it up with a push pin. :)

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Now it is time to head over to Inking It Up Crazy so you can enter to win all the amazing prizes she has up for grabs. :)

It was so much fun seeing what everyone elses favorite thing were about summer. One of my very favorite things is all the Bar-B-Qing that we do. Nothing in my opinion tastes better then when it's been grilled over flames on the Bar-B-Q.

So for my project today I decided to make a center piece for our table that I'll use when we Bar-B-Q.

All of the images were cut from my "Block Party" Lite cartridge. I used several different embossing folders to add texture and also some stickles and gel pens to make the images pop.

Here is a close up of the images.

I will be entering this in to the Decorate to Celebrate challenge.

Todays hop is all about Summer!! I have to say I am sooo ready for summer to be here! I miss the warm golden sun, bright colors, and fun on the our waverunners. :)

For my summer project I decided to make home decor for my mantle.

All the cuts for this project were cut from my "Life's A Beach" cartridge. To make the letters more interesting I ran them through my crimper. The background paper is from DCWV's "Citrus" Stack.

Here they are on my mantle. Please ignore the sockets that don't have covers, we just recently painted the wall burnt orange and have not bought new covers for them yet. :)

12x12 DCWV Wall Decor

In the beginning of April I made this awesome wall hanging for my 15-year-old niece Mia. She loves everything to do with music and the quote that best describes her is "Music is my Life." So when I saw this paper in DCWV's "Colorful Life Stack" I knew right away that I wanted to make this for her.

The background is exactly how the paper looks I didn't have to change it at all. (I love how glittery it is.) I just the cut Peace, Love & Music from the "Rock Princess" cartridge, added yellow Stickles to it and glued it to the page. It was super easy and fun and my niece loved it.

After my sister Tanya (Mia's mom) saw it she decided to make some thing similar for her 9-year-old daughter.

We used the lite cartridge "Twinkle Toes" for the ballet shoes and for the words and background mat we used the "Storybook" cartridge. All paper on this project came from DCWV's "Black Currant" stack. This project was so much fun for us to make and looks so amazing in person, the picture just doesn't do it justice.

We hope you enjoyed and have a great day!
