Craft With May

So trying to multi-task I did this layout that is my kraft recipe, strips of paper challenge, AND Lisa’s product playground challenge.

I’m not going to lie- about half way through this layout I was pretty sure it was going to be a “what not to do” page… but it pulled through. (phew!) Now it’s in E’s album.

I’ve got a lot of winners to draw here. If you see your name shoot me an e-mail (mflaum (at) comcast.net and tell me where to send it!

Fiskars Stamp Press + Stamps & Junk Jar prizes will stay open until Monday… so don’t forget to leave comments! 🙂

Did our morning outing and now we’re back in for the day. The plan is to start scrapbooking as soon as lunch has been served up. Another plan? To give away a FISKARS STAMP PRESS + 3 stamp sets. Right here. Right now.

Can you say Fiskars ROCKS??? (I can!!!) I think the winner is going to LOVE the Heidi Grace + Lil Davis stamps too. Oh- and I may just draw a winner or two to win just a stamp set. Good luck!

Here’s a layout using kraft paper (a nod to my Big Picture make & take). This is my first time playing with Heather Bailey. WHOA. I love her paper now that I’ve got it in hand. Didn’t really understand draw of it on-line, but now that I’ve got it? I GET IT. Oh and PS- it’s 1am. Thus the poor quality kitchen-lit photos.

I love mixing the kraft with a bright and busy pattern. Totally makes a nice resting place for my photos in my book. Ok, and LOVE about this page? Those toes. AHHHH. Love my girls fat baby toes!!!

For the heart I freehand stitched the trim on there (making up the heart as I went) and then decided I wished I had filled it in with a solid color cardstock or something. Instead I put a thin layer of Golden molding paste for coverage and texture, and then once dry I added wet adhesive + glitter. LOVE IT!!!

Oh, and check those epoxy hearts. More of the Heidi Grace hearts I love. In fact (prize coming…) I’ve got SIX envelopes, each with a sheet of Heidi Grace epoxy hearts. Want them? Just leave a comment here, I’ll draw a winner soon.

In cropping news this is all I’ve completed. Why? Well I got chatty with my dear cousin (who is more like a sister) and we got giggling, and I can’t talk on the phone in my studio due to thin wall and sleeping baby… so I vegged out tonight. It was GOOD for me though, so I’ll just have to craft even more today! (it’s 1am, so it is indeed Saturday!)

Ok, added more kits to etsy, got girls fed and bathed and the wee miss R is asleep. Miss E is watching a pony movie (and soon to be asleep as well), and I’m cleaning up the downstairs. Once that is done?

P-A-R-T-Y time!!! I love on-line crops. Since I’m a 99.9% at-home crafter the chance to socialize and mingle while working from home is very appealing to me. I’m very excited about all the BIG picture stuff going on right now, and since I was planning on staying up late anyhow this is fabulous! So, here’s a reality check. This is my desk right now:

I like to keep it real here, and while it looks bad in reality it’s only about a 5min clean up. So as soon as I get tidied up I’ll be creating (and sharing) projects here and at big picture. Oh- and I’m testing some not yet released Fiskars tools so I’ll be sure to talk about those as well. What else? well I’m pretty sure I sense some prizes too. It’s going to be a long, craft filled, prize filled weekend here at casa de flaum. Won’t you join the party?
