The big MERGE

2011-03-24T16:42:00.001-05:00

I've decided to merge my scrapping/photography blog to my family blog. It's been way too much stress trying to keep up with 2 blogs at once! You can now find my ramblings at www.livelaughandphotograph.blogspot.com! See ya there!

Week 11

2011-03-21T13:31:00.002-05:00

WOW this week was a busy one for me! I was able to do so many cool things and crafts and I was in heaven!

I used the gingerscraps scrap your life kit, template and all the felties are by creations by julie!

Paper Rosettes in Shadowbox Frame

2011-03-21T09:53:00.003-05:00

How cute is this to hang on your wall?! It's super easy and fun too. I made these little rosettes using the Paper Roses template at The Digi Chick. I picked some papers that went with the decor in my house, added them to the template and then printed them out. To make sure the back of the paper was colored as well, I flipped over the paper and then printed on the back side.

Once they were assembled, I dusted them with some glitter and voila! They were done. This project only costed about $4. I bought the shadowbox in plain wood at hobby lobby. I then painted it to my liking and added the flowers. This is now hanging on my wall and when the light hits it, you can really see the glitter glowing!

Little Miss Momma

Hybrid Ornament!

2009-11-14T05:00:00.001-06:00

Kelleigh is doing 30 ornaments in 30 days to show you all how you can make some awesome hybrid projects just in time for the holidays! These will make great gifts or even decor for your house! I used the Perfect Pumpkin Template by Kelleigh. Paper used is by Kelley Mickus from her Nov Grab Bag. I just placed the paper over the template and printed it out on regular matte photo paper. I cut out the template and assembled it. The only tricky part was stringing the large beads through the ornament. I made a slit in the bottom of the template and gently glided it all the way through to the top. That was honestly the hardest part! hehe! So, once it was assemebled and all the edges were glued together, I adorned it with some pretty jewels and a nice big fat ribbon on top! I can't wait to put this on my Christmas tree! I hope you enjoyed this cute little project! Stay tuned for some awesome new things to come and some more awesome ornament ideas!

Light Box!!

2009-10-08T18:21:00.006-05:00

I've always wondered how some people got awesome pictures with a white background and awesome detail. After much searching and reading different tutorials this is what I came up with! It's not the prettiest thing but it works! You can read over my favorite tutorial here. I happened to have a box lying around that was the perfect size to make this light box. (perks of being a Sam's Club member!) So how much did this thing cost me? .37 cents! The poster board was the only thing I had to buy. All I did was cut 3 sides of the box out. The two sides and front.

Then I cut the poster board to the correct size so I could fit it from the bottom of the box all the way to the top. I wrapped the remainder of the poster board and taped it to the back to secure it. Now if you have a white t-shirt or tank top lying around go get it! I stole one of my hubby's undershirts and cut it up. I taped a piece of it to either side of the box to allow a little bit of light to show through but to also keep the brightness. Secure them with tape and voila! You have a cheap light box that works magic! If you have a desk light that swivels, you can use that by putting it directly on top of the box so it's shining in from the top.

I usually take my photos during the day because I think sunlight is the best light. I hardly ever use my flash unless I absolutely have to! To get a great picture just hold your camera very steady or use a tripod if you have one. Once you have some pictures you like you can always touch them up in photoshop. I hope this helps! It's super easy, cheap, and works wonders!!!

And here are some pictures I've taken using the lightbox. See the difference it makes?!

All the images were made using templates by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs

Photo Holders!!

2009-10-06T23:10:00.003-05:00

So I have a new little project that I made using Kelleigh Ratzlaff's "Jewelry Box" template. It's available right now at SPD and then it will be released at TDC! I used the kit "Autumn Splendor" by Newlife's Dreams and a few other papers from various kits of hers to make these.

Supplies:

Premium photo paper

Kelleigh Ratzlaff's template

Beading wire

Potpouri

Hot glue gun

Pioneer Glue stick

Distressed Ink

Ribbon/Raffia

You should definitely try it!

Hop Aboard!!

2009-10-02T07:00:00.000-05:00

Kelleigh Ratzlaff is having ANOTHER Blog Hop this week and I get to be a part of it!! WOOHOO! She makes amazing stuff and there are endless things you can do with them! Today I want to show you my newest creation using her "Jewelry Box" Template and it's available at Shabby Pickle Designs!!! Don't worry though, it will still be released at The Digi Chick after this month is over!

Here is my version of it! I used Shabby Princess's Kit Festival for the box.

The little flowers are made using other papers in the "Festival" kit. I just cut them out into flowers and the added a little mod podge to them and curled up the edges to resemble flowers. I added a button and a sweet little tag with my initial on it! This is what it looks like when you open it! You can put so many little things in here and it would make a great gift to someone! I hope you've enjoyed my little creation! Now hop on over to the other ladies blogs to check out what else is new with Kelleigh and her amazing designs!

I am SOOO excited to be joining another hybrid team!!! Kelleigh Ratzlaff has graciously allowed me to be on her CT ever since I became addicted to hybrid projects! Don't get me wrong, I still love regular scrapping but I love getting my hands dirty and creating beautiful pieces of work that I can decorate my house or give gifts with!! Anyway, my first project was to make this adorable pumpkin box using the Perfect Pumpkin Tempate. I decided to go all out and make a centerpiece for my dining room table! I gathered some sticks in the yard and glued them together, made my little boxes, added a few leaves and voila! Here is my new autumn centerpiece! I love the way it turned out! Head on over to The Digi Chick to pick up this template! It's perfect for autumn!

2009-09-25T08:00:00.000-05:00

Hey everyone! I have recently become addicted to hybrid projects and I wanted to share a little something with you! I made these for my Mom and the ladies she works with. I had a ton of fun making these! The memo or post it note holder was a fabulous idea from Juliemomof4. She is super talented as well and she got me hooked on hybrid! The notepad cover is a template from the fabulous designer Mel Wilson and her kit Hybrid Gift Pack! Check out these photos....

Everything was made using the awesome collab kit by Mel Wilson and Mari Koegelenberg available at The Digi Chick! You can also buy bits and pieces of the collab! The little buttons are from GingerScraps kit Fancy Fall.

OK so now I challenge you to make a littly hybrid for yourself! They are really fun and all you need are a few supplies! This free template is the exact size you need. Just add your papers, elements and print! Easy Peasy!

Supplies I used:

Scrap kit of your choice

Matte Photo Paper

Chipboard or recycled cardboard (I've used a cereal box before!)

Mod Podge or really good glue stick

Metal clips

Ribbon

Distressed Ink (optional)

When I went to make this I had most of this stuff lying around already! So what are you waiting for? Click the preview to download or click here.

So Mel (The Hybrid Kid) has this awesome new hybrid template out in her store today! It's a candy bar box but it can be used for much more than that!! You can use it as a money holder since the holidays are right around the corner, or you can do what I did and create your own gift certificates! My hubby is away for a few weeks and I wanted to cheer him up by sending him a little incentive to hurry home :) I made him these certificates and he can redeem them to me whenever he chooses. Good for a back rub, foot massage, car wash etc. Cool huh?!

Army Wife

2009-09-18T23:57:00.003-05:00

Here is my latest LO! These pictures of me were taken at our first military ball. My husband has been deployed many times and we've spent more of our marriage away from each other than together. Honor, Courage, Strength and Pride are the values I live by each and every day. Journaling: Being an Army Wife requires a lot of values. It is both mentally and spiritually draining. The most important ones to me are... Honor- to live up toall the Army values. Courage- to look danger , fear and even death straight in the eyes and know within myself that I can and will persevere. Strength- physicaly and mentally tough. Pride- I am always proud of my soldier and myself.No matter what I will stand up for him and his duty. I am proud to be an Army Wife!

With Love From Me

2009-09-17T00:45:00.004-05:00

So my husband did something so sweet the other day! He brought home a beautiful bouquet of flowers just because! I loved them and wanted to share a little love with you all as well :) Hope you like it!! Click image to be taken to 4shared to download or click here

Speed Scrap Cancelled

2009-09-02T08:00:00.000-05:00

Due to GingerScraps being down for maintenance I have to cancel my Speed Scrap that was originally scheduled for tonight! Don't worry though GingerScraps should be up and running in no time! And, since I have to cancel I am putting together a hybrid freebie so be on the lookout for that in the next day or so! XO

Congrats March!!!

2009-08-30T22:20:00.003-05:00

Remember a while back I posted my this? It was my very first designer corner highlight And the special designer I spotlighted was March of Marni Designs and I am sooo happy to tell you all that she is the Ultimate Survivor! She was amazing and I hope to see her on the GingerScraps team! CONGRATS March!! You deserved it :) If you would like to leave March some love, head on over to her blog and leave a comment!

Bow holder

2009-08-29T01:23:00.001-05:00

I've been very busy with my arts and crafts lately! I am doing some awesome hybrid projects! I'm in the process of changing Kylie's room theme and I made her a new bow holder.... I took photo paper and used a digital scrap booking paper then glued it....

then to add a little bit of contrast I inked the edges...

And finally to add a little dimension, the "K" is on foam dots to stand out. It's made out of another scrap paper and I just cut out the initial. It was soo easy and fun!

Sorta hybrid....

2009-08-26T22:59:00.004-05:00

I made this awesome picture for my daughters room! She is so in love with Cinderella and I always want her to know that she should dream no matter what. SO I took both of those things together and made a picture frame to hang in her room! I took it into her this morning and she loved looking at it. I was holding it showing her the details and she said "no mommy, my hold it" LOL SO cute!!!

2009-07-31T06:00:00.000-05:00

I'm back again today to give you the 411 on a new designer I've come across since starting Survivor! Kelly, of Dreamers Magic Designs posted a LO for week 2 and I absolutely fell in love with not only the composition but the colors in this kit were fantastic!!! I'm a huge sucker for pastels and anything fairytale like. This kit drew me in and when I found out that SHE actually made it, I had to hop on over to her store to check more of it out! Over the Rainbow is the kit she used and it's definitely on my next "to buy" list! See for yourself how beautiful this is.... Here is her LO I was talking about... And a few more from her CT...

LOL So you should most definitely go check it out!!! It's available at Sunshine Studio Scraps....

Scraplift

2009-05-28T09:00:00.001-05:00

What is a scraplift??

Scraplifting (skrap-lift-ing) – The act of copying ideas and designs from another person’s scrapbook page to use in your own pages. Designs or ideas can be copied in whole or in part and is largely subjective. ~Scrap Jazz

I want to show you one that I recently made for boot camp! Here is the original from Misty...

And here is my scraplift! Scraplifting is really fun and you can get your creativity flowing too! Try it!
