Altered Frame for my little slugger!

Today I have an altered frame to share with you... I have been wanting to frame a picture of our youngest playing tee ball ever since last year... Tee-ball is so much fun for these little peeps and seeing how all of the little ones progress in their understanding of the game is amazing!  Jeb's current season has just about wrapped up and was tickled with this picture a friend took of him at his game last week.

I found this frame this past weekend at Hobby Lobby and love that it is an 8x8 frame, leaves plenty of room to add accents. I used the Tee-Ball SRM Stickers to coordinate with the baseball themed patterned paper. The number is a die cut from a new die set (to be released Friday) from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and will be using them a LOT!!!

Here are some close-ups:

Birthday Greetings

 I always have a need for birthday cards and this new set, Chalkboard Birthday from The Craft's Meow is perfect!! I incorporated the color challenge from the Play Date Cafe and used my favorite new stencil from The Crafter's Workshop: Honeycomb. I added some ribbon and Want2Scrap bling and found this color combo went quite well together...I was shocked, lol! :P

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome Little One

Today I have a CAS card I created using SNSS Vintage Baby, which is only $11 this week and combined it with a sentiment from SRM Stickers. I played along with the 10 minute Craft Dash challenge and made this card in 7:47!  It was a little close as I smudged the image really bad due to an inky craft desk and had to do a quick do-over.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

May Arts and Scor-Pal Blog Week

 I am very excited to share a project I created for our May Arts ~ Scor-Pal Blog Week. Using a Scor-Pal, I created a Tea Bag Holder (using Beate Johns tutorial from Splitcoaststampers). Is the Woven Chevron Stripes Wired ribbon not just the most fab???? Love this stuff and couldn't wait to get started!!

Supplies:

 Patterned Paper: SEI
Stickers: SRM Stickers
Ribbon: May Arts

 Tool: Scor-Pal scoring board 

Adhesive: Scor-Tape

Scissors

Take a 3 1/2" x 7 3/4" piece of cardstock and score at 3 1/2" and 4 1/4".

 Fold on score lines.

 Take a 6 1/2 x 7 piece of patterned paper (lining up the 6 1/2" side  up to the top of the Scor-Pal) and score at 1/2" and 3 1/2". Prefold on the score lines.

 Apply Scor-Tape to 1/2" section of the paper.

 Remove tape lines, fold paper over, and rub to set adhesive.

Align paper sleeve up on Scor-Pal and score at 3 5/8" (the upside down triangle). Turn 180˙ and score again.

 Prefold on score lines. Cut a half circle off each end using a circle punch.

Using Scor-Tape, adhere the center of sleeve to inside of pre-scored cardstock panel.

Decorate as desired using May Arts ribbon to close.

 Hope you will try making one of these yourself!!  If you do be sure to leave me a comment as I would love to check it out!!  

Be sure to check out the Scor-Pal Blog for other inspiring ideas!!

Have a great day!
