HSN and PictureThatSound Project!!!

Some of you may know that I have been totally excited to have 2 projects featured this week on HSN for PictureThatSound. This is one of the projects. PictureThatSound has an amazing product,it's a soundcard that can be altered into a card or a layout. You record sound to go with your photos!! This one is our sweet little bullie "Harley" snoring! I swear she snores like a man! Jenn said she was a star on HSN!!! You can order the product from the HSN website. There are so many ideas to use them on!

 This shows a close up of how I just punched little holes over the sound button, but you don't even have to do that, the sound will come clearly through the paper. I used my Cricut to cut the title letters.

 Had to add a little floral touch for the pretty girl!!!

 I made this little butterfly using WorldWin Papers vellum and Suzy West stamp and embossing powder by WOW! I used Bubble Gum and Pepper.

 I also added a little stick pin with some twine on top of my twill ribbon.

These sound cards are really neat, you can use them on top of your layout, behind the layout, just however you wish to do it. My other project shows the entire card hidden, where on this one it's visible. I'll share the other one later!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and for all your sweet comments about Harley on my FB too!!! It means a lot!

Products used:
WorldWin Papers ColorMates and Treasures cardstock
Suzy West WOW stamp and embossing powder
Prima blooms
K & Company patterned paper
ribbon, twine, gems, pin, ink

WOW and Swirlydoos

Today I have a page to share that I did with the March Swirlydoos kit featuring the beautiful papers from Kaisercraft's Sweet Nothings collection. I used lots of WOW Embossing powders by Suzy West.

The chippie title and buttons are all from Imaginarium Designs. I used WOW Earthtone Blueberry by Suzy West on the title, and for the buttons I mixed Earthtone Olive, Earthtone Blueberry by Suzy West and WOW Opaque Pale Peach regular.
The pretty green bloom is from ManorHouse Creations and I made little blue ribbon blooms.


I totally LOVE this collection from Kaisercraft, it's one of my favorites from them. The papers are just gorgeous. I also used Kaisercraft brads in the center of the ribbon blooms. My dark blue background paper is WorldWin Treasures.

March 1st Challenge at OUAS!!!

Hello everyone! It's time to announce a new challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch and this is a beautiful sketch. You need to go to the blog to see all the DT work and out guest designers as well! We have the awesomely talented Iris Uy and Cathy Cafun guesting for this challenge!

For the time being a new month is upon us which brings a new challenge for the next 2 weeks.

The current challenge is one that will push you out of your comfort zone because you have to scrap a layout or create a project about YOU. Many MANY people find this daunting...I can understand that. I personally do not have a problem scrapping my self as I want my children and those I leave behind one day to know the real Nadia. But I was SO SO SO surprised to learn that my Design Team really struggled with this. This saddened me...it saddened me as I see SO many wonderful qualities in all of them, yet it astounds me how hard us women are on our selves. We truly are. I think one thing we are ALL good at for certain, is just being WOMEN in this day and age!!

SO I am particularly keen to see you all find something that you are good at, as little or as big as that might be and be confident enough to share it with us here. I cannot wait to see your entries!! Come on ladies..its time we believed in our selves and put our selves first just this one time..!

March 1st Challenge

Journalling Criteria/Theme:

All About Me!

The focus of your journalling and the theme of your layout has to be based on YOU and something/s that you are really good at. Don't be shy! We are all good at something as small or as big as it might be.

Ideas for journalling: being a good mum, cooking, talking, understanding people, organising, cleaning, gardening, studying, computers, fashion, exercising, scrapbooking, good at my job, maths, languages, writing , drawing, painting, photography, running, craft, sewing. Maybe you can talk about an aspect of your personality..your sensitivity, your 6th sense, your patience, your strength or bravery, your ability to stay positive.

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote.

You MUST combine our journalling criteria with this sketch..

Now here is my take on the challenge:

I used elements from my March Swirlydoos kit featuring some yummy Kaisercraft goodies. This is a Kaisercraft stamp and then I embossed it with WOW embossing powder.

The chippie elements on this page are from Imaginarium Designs. The butterflies and also the title. I used more WOW embossing powders on them too. And added some bling!!! The gorgous blooms are from Manorhouse Creations!

This is a closeup of the title, I mixed Bubble Gum and Peach powders one it.

This was a great challenge, it really did "challenge" me, it's hard for me to come up with anything that I'm actually good at, but I think being at Mom might be it!!! LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by! It means a lot to me!!!

Now, please check out the challenge and join us for the fun! www.onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com

Some Exciting news and old favorites

I know I've been neglecting my blog for the past couple of weeks, but I've been creating, just things that I couldn't share. Well, I can share part of it finally. Tomorrow on HSN they are debuting National Craft Month. One of the products that will be shown during the month is Picture That Sound. Well, I have 2 projects that will be on, probably for a nano second, but I'm excited!!! They will show more on March 6th!!!

Since I haven't posted any projects I thought I would share some old favorites from a while back. Some pages I just go back too, something about the photos or the colors, just something. This first one was done with BoBunny and their MamaRazzi line, this was one of my favorite of all collections from them!

This one was more BoBunny, using thier line made for my good friend "Gabrielle"! I love the softness and colors in this collection!
This is another MamaRazzi page!!!! Love the masculine feel to these papers!!!
And a really old one, it's BoBunny too!!!
I'll be back to post my latest page for the new challenge at OnceUponASketch in a couple of days also!!! Thanks to everyone who drops by! I appreciate it!
