Sweet Autumn card featuring ScanNCut 2

Who’s ready for fall? Me!! As you know (disclaimer) I do work with Brother, and they provided me with the amazing ScanNCut2 650w machine that you’re going to see here today in action for the very first time! Of course all the ideas and opinions here are always my own. Oh but who wants to hear me talk? You want to see this baby in action…

I am so in love with the new designs, and if you’ve been hearing all the buzz about the new SNC then you want to stay tuned – TONS of videos coming! This is barely the beginning.

Just love how this card came out! Want more fall inspiration? You’ve got it! I’ve got two new project PDFs up on the ScanNCut website! If you go to the “video” section of their site you’ll also see videos for these projects and many more.

I made the so fun pillow (above) with basic shapes + some hand drawn elements turned rhinestone pattern! Not into stitching? Check it out anyhow – you can so make a pumpkin like that from paper! Also, I have a table runner that I accented with flowers, buttons, rhinestones, and more! Want to see that project tutorial? It’s on the site too! You can see all these projects plus those of my fellow SNC designers here.

Well as you can see – I’ve been a busy girl! I’ll be back to share more real soon. Looking to get a ScanNCut2 of your own? Contact a Brother dealer for the 650W model, or you can find the 350 model (affiliate link) at Amazon and other big retailers.

Adventures of Ranger & Scrappy: One on the desk…

First a quick shopping alert: today on Amazon I was doing some affiliate link making and planning for some future posts and such… and I found a bunch of Buttons Galore button favorites on mine on sale. You’ll have to click around at the color options – but many were showing as under $6 which is a steal! Consider yourself enabled. Here’s a link.

Now to the good stuff:

No dogs were harmed and loads of cookies were paid for this photo taken for National Dog Day just for fun to post on Instagram. Our adventures here are wacky like that.

Pumpkin everything!

I always say plan ahead as you’re able. Today is a perfect example! I haven’t even loaded the video I wanted to post… what is a blogger to do?

I look into my bag ‘o not yet posted tricks and pull something fun out!

You may recall my Fall favorites post… well here is a quick little card made by rubbing some distress inks + stamping with embossing powder! This Neat & Tangled stamp is a lot of fun. Stay tuned – video with this + the “boo” stamp of theirs coming soon.

’tis also the season for the first school germs cold of the year… here’s hoping I kick this one fast!

September 2015 with Elle’s Studio

I’ve been having a blast with the September 2015 Elle’s Studio exclusives. There is a “daily routine” card that inspired this page.

Here’s a link to my video on YouTube.

Loving how this one came out – and how quickly! If you want more scrapbook layout ideas & goodness be sure you’re signed up for my Tried & True class that begins on the 10th! Info is available here – it’s going to be such a jam packed class!

Spooky (Halloween) card with 2015 Tim Holtz products

Are you on Periscope? It’s a new to me social media app where someone (like me) can broadcast live and chat, craft, and share! I have the user name @craftwithmay there (same as my instagram) – it works best on a smart phone or iPad, but you can also check it out online here. I bring this up because a week or two ago I posted a video of coloring the crow you see on the card below!

Not on periscope or missed it? NO worries! Here’s a link to my YouTube tutorial video.

This turned out even better than I imagined – such a fun card to make! I used gold acrylic paint around the edge (and over the word) – always a great product to add special touches to any product!

The Tim Holtz crow (blueprint) stamp, new halloween charm, trim, paper, and bits, not to mention the “spooky” word are all new and available now. Looking to shop? I’ve got you covered – and thank you in advance to those who use my affiliate links used below. Costs nothing extra – just helps me keep the lights on and the free content coming!

BlueMoonScrapbooking, Ellen Hutson, and Scrapbook.com carry most if not all of the supplies I used, and so does Simon Says Stamp.
