My Inspiration Album...


Every girl needs an inspiration album, full of wonderful things and colors to draw from when you need a little kick start to get creating. I am going to share mine with you. I used this fantastic Assorted Rectangles Chipboard Album by Want2Scrap as a fun starting place.


On each page I focused on a different thing that inspires me. Both technology and of course my wonderful family!


Who is not inspired by fun fabrics and textures? My love of photography and cameras is always a great place to start to get my creative juices flowing.


The beauty of nature and art are always inspiring to me.


When all else fails food and my love of color works every time!


As always just getting my hands a little messy is enough in itself to get me inspired to create.

Of course we need to get some detail shots to give you a feel of how inspiring all these things really can be.






Now it is your turn, create your own inspiration album. It will be fun making it...and drawing from it whenever you need a little push.

Guest Designer Keri Lee Sereika Painted Chipboard Card

Want2Scrap Guest Designer Keri Lee Sereika has created this wonderful card and tutorial to go along with. We love the painted chipboard with the bling accents.

Supplies Needed PhotoTo begin: Gather supplies needed.


Supplies List:
Want2Scrap
DecoArt Americana SnowWhite Acrylic Paint
1" Foam Brush
Scrap of Sand Paper
Scrap Paper
Sponge
Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Ink Pad - Creamy Brown


Place chipboard shape onto scrap paper and paint top surface using foam brush. Allow to dry slightly and apply a second coat of paint.






Remove piece from scrap paper and place on a paint safe surface, removing any excess from crevices by blowing the paint toward the back of the piece and gently wiping away the excess using a paper towel. Allow to dry fully before proceeding to step three.


Use a small piece of fine sand paper to gently scuff the edges of the painted piece.




Look at the entire piece and continue to distress edges until you have a finished "shabby chic" feel to the piece.


If desired, distress the entire top surface of the piece using Creamy Brown Chalk Ink applied with a piece of sponge



Embellish top surface of Chipboard Embellishment Shape as shown using assorted rhinestones & pearls. You now have a finished piece ready to be used on any paper crafted project!

A Blinged Out Mother's Day Card For My Daughter-in-law.


Hello everyone!
True here, and today I am sharing a triple duty card with you.
Karen gave me the OK to create a card for my post here and for a  blog hop that is gong on over at my blog
I wanted to share some pretty bling with my hoppers too! 

I also needed to create a Mother's Day card for a very special lady in my life. My daughter-in-law Kristin. She is expecting our very first grandchild in October!
I am a firm believer that from the very second of conception, a baby is a baby, so that makes Kristin a mom even though the little one is still in her tummy. :)

Kristin, like her mother-in-law, LOVES BLING so I really did it up on this one!
The pretty vertical piece to the left of the image is Beautiful Bling-Black Wave Rhinestone/Silver.
I also used some Hot Pink Pearls and a super brilliant Heart Ribbon Slide.
I broke out with my Copic markers for a change on this one. :)
  

Preferred Partner Products Used:
Beacon - Fabri-tac

Other Products Used:
Digital stamp by Mo Manning
Ribbon Club assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon
Bazzill Pepper Dotted Swiss from Discount Card Stock.
Fancy Pants designer paper from StopAndScrap.

If you would like to see the inside of the card or get more info on other products used, please visit my blog...after you leave me some ♥LOVE♥ here of course! :)
Everyone here at Want2Scrap would like to wish all of the mothers out there a VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! :)
Thanks for dropping by!

Elegant Congratulations

I have an elegant Congratulations card for you today that is perfect for the upcoming Graduation season. It's also appropriate for a job promo, engagement, wedding, and any other event that gives us an occasion to celebrate!

I used the Want2Scrap Fancy Tags two Nestabling and Nestaboard as a focal point to highlight the stamped sentiment, which is from The Craft's Meow's Timeless Tags set.
W2S-Card-NinaB-April9
The patterned paper was created using stamps from The Craft's Meow's Simply Delightful set. I accented the flower pattern with Copic markers. A wide silky black ribbon is all you need to finish the card.
Come visit me on my blog, Crafting in Croatia.
