You should have arrived here from <a href="http://menemenetekeluniversity.blogspot.com/">Charity's Blog</a>, if not head on back so you don't miss any of that creativity!<br />
<br />
Where, oh where, has Kerri been? On a 7 month hiatus from the blogging world! But, I thought I'd join the ladies of Practical Scrappers for this month's scrapping our stash hop! I can tell you right now, everything I own is considered stash right now. I haven't bought any new papers and products since I took a break ( with the exception for the stuff I use for selling at craft fairs). <br />
<br />
IT just so happens that I was asked to make a get well/thinking of you card for a fellow co-worker who just had surgery that all of our staff and students at our little private school could sign. Had a lot of fun with this card, and used up some scraps from two different Crate Paper lines ( DIY Shop and the Maggie Holmes Collection) to create this card.<br />

I used a bunch of random things that I had in an old embellishment drawer of things I have no idea where I got. I found the bling and flair button in there. I also pulled out my favorite go to tool (my Cuttlebug) and used it to cut and emboss my butterfly as well as give it a vellum overlay.</div>

My project this month came about from a customer who wanted a family album as a gift for her mother-in-law. I spent a lot of time looking online for the right papers for this mini album. I couldn't find anything that I was "feeling". I got mad, shut the computer off and started digging....digging....and more digging (yes I have that much paper). Then, low and behold, I found my perfect papers; already in hand; didn't cost me a penny, which makes my album pure profit :)--My Little Yellow Bicycle Collection Kit "Vintage Summer" that I won last year in May. The entire album was done with all LYB papers and embellishments (cardstock was all core'dinations). The Album itself was the LYB canvas 6x6 ring album. I finished off the rings with some torn Americana theme fabrics.</div>

Here's the layout I created-- I pulled out one of my DCWV (My Sunshine Stack) stacks that I bought because I loved every sheet in it. Of course it's now been a year, and I only used two pieces from it, because I was just too afraid to...lol...how many of you do that? I also decided I was going to scrap this photo of my daughter since it is going to be her 8th birthday on Saturday --I can't believe my baby girl is 8!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last week of every month we have a blog hop all about just using our stash. This month, I found some washi tape, some flair buttons, a flower, some twine, and an brand new embossing folder that I had hiding away in my drawers that I've never use on any projects that are at least 6 months old ( the flair and washi are over a year). Here's my project!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page -->
<script async="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
I have decided to offer this little RAK-- I had two packs of the flair badges and I'm giving two rolls of the washi away that were also in my pack that I should just get rid of because I have too much- LOL! To be eligible all you have do is leave me a comment telling me why you love scrapping from your stash!<br />

I'm a huge fan of embossing and I don't pull out my Cuttlebug nearly as often as I should. Just so happens that call was for embossing the base of a card and I pulled out my all time favorite embossing folder--Stars :)

I decided to create to a bracelet and card --a true "gift card", in which the gift is part of the card for my project.<br />

This first one was inspired from the DCWV January Stack-a-holics sketch. Yep, I was late on that too but as soon as I saw the sketch I knew what pics and papers I wanted to use. Finally after some determination and the help of a snow day at school I got it done!</div>

This second layout was for our Frugal Finds topic at <a href="http://practicalscrappers.blogspot.com/">Practical Scrappers</a>. This month I challenged the ladies to use cookie cutters in their projects to see what they could come up with! I had fun with mine and headed right to the summer cookie cutters after all the snow we have had!</div>

Here's my stash project...I started out with some scraps from my Creative Memories Delight Shopper Diva papers and stickers, some vellum I bought in 2007, pom pom trim that is 4 years old; some Basic Grey opaline designer half pearls (pink), some Studio 118 large pearls, an old wine class, and battery operated candle.<br />

I'm up today over at Practical Scrappers sharing my idea on how to use up some of that ribbon. Here's is a 4 and 1/2 ft ribbon and fabric garland I created. You'll probably see me selling these next year at all my holiday fairs ( I went a little crazy buying material after Christmas when it was clearanced out ). I started with some 4 ply 72lb jute cord as my base. Created slip knots at each end. Then I took my material for this one I just tore it into 1" x 6" strips ( you could cut them all with pinking shears or scissors depends on the effect). Then just tie away.</div>

To finish it off, I created some cinnamon dough ornaments ( the recipe is below ) and painted some gingerbread men and squiggles on hearts . Here's a close up of my ornaments. I tied them on with some coordinating checkered ribbon scraps.</div>

<i>Mix dry ingredients with water to form a smooth stiff dough. Divide into three or four portions. Place each section between two sheets of wax paper and roll to 1/4 and 3/8 inches thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out. While dough is till soft use a straw to put a hole in the top of each ornament for the ribbon to go through. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Paint with acrylic paints ( I chose not to use a clear coat of varnish because I did no want them shiney).</i><br />

I gotta say 2013 has been slow on the scrappy side for me...working full time now, three kids in too many activities, and trying to do craft shows on side sure has kept me hopping. However, what I have created I sure have loved. Most of these projects have been shared at the pretty much the only place I share my work these days...at my favorite blog, <a href="http://practicalscrappers.blogspot.com/">Practical Scrappers</a>, while a few I have just made as Christmas gifts this year ( the snowman Wreath, snowman topiary, and the altered window frame --the most fun I've had creating a project in a LONG time). The layout in the center (What A Splash) was the highlight of my scrappy year being picked for the Little Yellow Bicycle Summer Winner contest...and with that winning I created the POSE layout from the goodies they sent me. The Color my World layout is the highlight of my scrappy space truly one of the most artist pieces I've created...melting crayons--gotta put a shout out to the aides in the summer school for putting me up to that challenge!</div>

Here are my wood projects:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First up are these wooden clothespin magnets. Now, some of you may be wondering why I am into the Christmas season already ( when I haven't even sent my kids back to school yet), but it is crunch time here at the end of the summer before I go back to work so I am busy getting ready for holiday craft fairs. These little snowmen magnets I saw on Pinterest. I decided I was going to made them to spice up my price signs for some of my hanging items. Just gave them a spray paint, painted on some faces with acrylic paint, inked the sided with some brown chalking ink, gave him some cheeks with pink chalking ink, and tore up some scrap holiday material for the scarves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Here I have two sets of tile coasters. All these are some 16 cent white 4"x 4" ceramic tiles (purchased from my local LOWES--Home Depot carries them as well) that I used some scrap sheets of holiday paper (and the snowman face is a print out of a digi image). I just used some Mod Podge to adhere then layered a 4 coats of Mod Podge on top and sealed with the a coat of the Mod Podge clear acrylic sealer.<br />
<br />
Here's an up close of my wood embellishments...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-6.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-4.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I used some white wooden snowflakes (that I have no idea where I got) and added some crystal stickles and bling to. The little snowman face is actually a mini wooden clothespin that I picked up an entire bag of 100 different holiday mini clothespins for $1.<br />
<b><br /></b>

This month's challenge was pencils. Guess what? There aren't any extra ones laying around my house anymore :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr137/klyarus/null-2.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
I glue some pencils around a plastic baby cup. Tied some red ribbon around it. To finish it all off, I altered a little wooden clothespin to create a detachable magnet. Perfect for those back to school gifts for you child's teachers!<br />
<br />
Make sure you head over to<a href="http://practicalscrappers.com/"> Practical Scrappers</a> and check out how the other designers were inspired to use pencils!<br />

Here is my project. I was lucky enough to win the entire Victorian Summer Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle about a month ago and decided to pull out everything I won and see what I could do ( it is quite overwhelming to have so much spread out in front of you)! <br />

I decided I'd share my project that won me my Vintage Summer Collection since I haven't shared it on my blog yet and it also has Chevrons!</div>

2012 came with a lot of ups and downs for me --scrappy wise. I've been a working mom of three for a full 15 months now. Just when I thought I had my time management skills in check, life seemed to step in and throw me for another loop. I am hoping 2013 will bring me a little more time to catch up on my scrapbooking, keep this blog up to date, and venture out the way I always intended. While I didn't do as much scrapbooking this year as I have in the past I did manage to put out some of my favorite projects ever--the time may not have been there, but that didn't stop my mind from working.<br />
Here's a look at my top 10 projects of 2012... <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">It is a rare occasion that I scrapbook just the DH and myself without our kids, which is why this my 2nd favorite. I also loved that I stepped away from my typical style and played around with trends I don't usually touch (misting and sewing)...however they are both on my 2013 to do more of especially since I got a brand new sewing machine :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Most of the items I made this year were either a gift for someone or I sold at a craft fair, none the less, I still love them. There is nothing I love more that taking the time to create something special and unique for someone. This was one of the most fun (and crazy) prrojects for me this year. It is totally unqiue and I am still flabbergasted how I came up with the design of this mini. The fact that this baby stands on it's own to be displayed amazes me!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> This one made the top 10 for two reason: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1.) I have fallen in love with this color combo of black, grey, and yellow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2.) With the pressure for time and the desire to do some kind of scrapbooking, I have fallen in love with sketches all over again. I stopped doing sketches about 2 years ago, but this year they have become my staple in getting things done.</span> </div>

This one make the top 10 for a number of reasons as well--I love the rolled flowers, the distressing, and that I finally took a stab at some therapeutic scrapbooking. I never talked about it what I went through, and boy did it feel good to just see a perfect photo capturing those feelings and the writing the journaling.</span> </div>

Today over at <a href="http://practicalscrappers.com/">Practical Scrappers</a>, we are celebrating the first day of fall with fall theme cards and layouts. Here's is my layout I created using Little Yellow Bicycle's "Hello Fall Collection" which I absolutely adore...<br />

This is my favorite feature!!! Something about repurposing regular old everyday items brings out the best in my creativity. Even though it was my choice for the item this month, I decided to let the team decide between the two so I did a poll. After a very close race, jar lids won out.<br />
<br />
Here are my two projects I came up with. This first one is my new all time favorite layout. It's not too often that I create one of me and the DH together (usually the kiddos get all the glory). Saturday will be our 11th wedding anniversary and I made this as a gift for him. I actually altered up a white wood shadow box that I did some dry brushing of red acrylic paint and sanded down with some light-weight sandpaper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is just the layout...I got a little crazy with using things I haven't touched in a long time like the sewing machine (probably a year since I sewed on a layout), stickles, mists, gesso, and even pulled out the white journaling pen! I used my "mostest", "favoritest" ( yes, I know they aren't real words) paper manufacturer, Crate Paper. All pattern papers in the layout are from the Peppermint Collection as well as the buttons, trims, and other embellishments. I used American Crafts (Marquise) Thicker letters on for the title. Mist is from Tattered Angels (Santa Baby Glimmer Mist). </div>

This is not the greatest photo, but the best I can do late at night...sorry you get the shadow cast on the top. Here, you can see the frame I doctored up a bit. I dry brushed some red acrylic paint on the edges of a white wood shadow box. Took an old rag then quickly wiped it off. Followed that up with some sanding with light-weight sandpaper.</div>

You can seen that this is a very simple projects and takes no time at all to put together. It took my cricut longer to cut out all the faces than it did for me to put a dozen of these together. First spray your jars. The frosted glass only takes about 10 minutes to dry to touch. After that was dry I cut my wire and to rim of the jar to create the handle. I used Glossy Accents to adhere the face to the jar itself then also went over the eyes and mouth with the Glossy Accents. For the nose, I also attached with Glossy Accents, but this time went over top of my diecut with the Crackle Accents to create those lines in the carrot nose ( you can see a close up of this below). For the hat, I cut a 6 1/2" circle of fleece and hot glued to the lid. I tied off the hat with some red ribbon. Added a little ribbon, twine, and bell to the handle then popped in a battery LED tea light ( making it safe to keep the hat on and use indoor and outdoor).</div>

So, I was at it again! Creating another one of my baby milestone albums. Glad I know lots of people having babies so I can create one of my favorite things (it's a good thing I have my files saved to cut down the amount of time).
I can share this now that she got it, and I won't spoil the surprise! I followed my original design on milestone albums on this one, but scaled it down from using 5x7 envelopes to using your standard A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") and I think I finally found the size I like!
<br />
<br />
<br />
For this album I started with 6 standard A2 envelopes and altered them Echo Park's "Little Boy Collection". I kept the inside simple and basic because after all, Christine (my online friend and Practical Scrapper owner), is a scrappy genius herself and I wanted her to be able to add her own style to her album pages! <br />
<br />
These are the best photos because I had to do at night and use the flash, plus I haven't figured out yet the best way to photograph these because of how long they end up opened up!<br />

How Christine, Erin, and I continue to out-do ourselves and inspire the ladies to create with things you would never think possible for scrapbooking and cardmaking blows me away. The best part is, I don't know where I come up with my own ideas-- you never know where your crafting is going to take you. <br />
<br />
I have two projects to share. This was the first one I created. I was inspired for this creation when, after Christine announced what her choice was. Now I'll admit, I was not happy with her when she told us her choice -- even promised severe payback with my choice for next month (bwaa ha ha *note* my evil laugh). I found my groove and "dug right it". <br />

I cut off the ends of my spoons, colored with my copics to highlight the center of the flower, then hot glued them together to form a flower. I placed the rolled mum in the center to hide the broken bases and topped that off with a little pearl. For my leaves, I used the maple leaf cut and emboss combo die but I cut it up to only use one of the three points.</div>

The second card I have up here I got a little crazy--no surprise there! This one might be considered dangerous because even though it's plastic, but the fun I had creating this card is PRICELESS!! So much fun, that it is my new favorite all time project EVER, and I doubt I will surpass this (though I will try). On this one, I used some clear pastic knives--take a look:</div>

<br />I stared and stared at a box of clear plastic knives for at least two hours. I even joked with the ladies on the design team (while chatting on facebook) that the only thing I could think to do with them was throw them across my office at the sytrofoam wreaths hanging from my office doorknob. And no joke, I did take a few stabs at that due to mental block. But the more and more I stared at them I saw the arch shape and thought of a rainbow. </div>

Coloring the spoons with my Copics worked so well with the spoons, I decided to give it another go with the clear plastic to get more of a stained glass/transparent look. I colored each one of the serated ends first on the front side. Now, here's the trick! When coloring on plastic, you have to be careful not to do too many layers. It becomes streaky (you can kind of see it on the green), but it did trigger me to go back and color the other side to enhance the color (doing both front and back) which worked great for the blue and violet leaving no streaks at all! Finally, I hot glued them down to my card and staggered the embossed clouds inbetween to get that 3-D effect.</div>

This week's choice...the dreaded scoring board. Most of you probably have one of these lying around espically if you are a card maker or a fan of the making boxes. My project today is a mini album, a flip-flop mini to be exact. You can find the instructions for this over at the <a href="http://www.scor-pal.com/projects2/Flip%20Flop%20Book%20Feb%2014.pdf">Scor-Pal website</a>. This was one of the first projects outside of a scraopbook page, I ever learn how to create back in 2007. I decided it was time to revisit the past and redo what was done then. Now I did changed mine up a bit. Instead of making the larger tags giving you only a front and back, I made it a pull out tag giving you double the place for pictures and journaling (two out outside, and a two on the pull out tag).<br />

Today, I decided I was going to make some mini note card holder sets that hold 4 note cards and 4 envelopes. <br />

Here is the box and one of the envelopes. I create them using my Scor-Pal. I got the instructions on how to create them right from the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_796813184">Scor-Pal website here</a>, but I went from the 4x4 notecard and had to adjust my measurements. I cut my cardstock to 6 1/2" x 6 1/2". Using the 6 3/8" marker I scored at 4 1/2". It give you a 3 3/4" envelope for a 3 1/2 card. </div>

Last one...here you can see the purse open with the cards and envelopes fitted in it. I used a velcro square to close it shut. You can find the pattern for this shaped card and purse box at <a href="http://www.myscrapchick.com/">My Scrap Chick</a> in their 30 boxes and more set of SVG's. The paper used on this set comes from My Mind's Eye "So Sophia".</div>

Working on some more craft fair stuff and decided I needed a fall theme wreath.
The kids want to keep this one because they think the owl is too cute to sell!
