Hey everyone! I've decided somewhat spontaneously to enter the Scrapbooker's Paradise Playing in Paradise challenge #101. The theme for this challenge was mists and since I have so few, I thought it wouldn't be that difficult to enter - The less you have, the easier it is to decide what to do. :P Simce I'm crafting for a craft show that's happening next weekend (CraftStock, in Hamilton, ON), I thought I'd make a card that I could have for the show. :) It's a "love" themed card without all the pinks, reds, and whites!
I used the Butternut Squash Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist with a stencil for the card front background. On top, I layered some orange textured cardstock with the sentiment stamped vertically. I then stamped a vine heart on some patterned cardstock (I think it's from DCWV) that I cut out and then adhered to the main part of the card using some dimensional adhesive. :) Thanks to Scrapbooker's Paradise for hosting this challenge!

Howdy folks! Well, it's been a while since I've posted on here, although it hasn't been as long since I uploaded some Youtube videos! I've linked to those at the end of this post. :) In February, I will be part of a craft show in Hamilton, ON and I've been hurriedly preparing for that, which is why I seem to have disappeared. Once that's all said and done, I shall return to more frequent blogging! This weekend, I plan to post all the swap projects I've worked on in the last little while. Should be fun fun fun! I always have seem to forget to take pics of swap projects, even though they help build my creative repertoire! It was so frustrating that now I keep a camera in my craft room, hanging on a lanyard so that I always see it. I hope it helps jog my memory a bit more when it comes to keeping record of what I've worked on! Today, I finally got around to linking all of the craft community sites that I belong to in the sidebar over there! ==============>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As you can see, I belong to many active crafting communities that keep my creative juices flowing with all the swaps they host! I get to use FAR more things that I own because I belong to those sites! It's pretty awesome!
And here are the latest videos that I've posted on Youtube, for you all to go check out. :)
My boyfriend is the sweetest person! He went out and got me a ton of Mod Podge since he knew I would be starting a relatively large project. He had no idea what he was looking for when he went into Michaels, but came out with gloss and matte Mod Podge and some Hello Kitty stuff that I had been eyeing for a while!!! As everyone says, he's a keeper! ;)
I had placed a massive order over at Lavish Laces on Etsy in December before my spending freeze, (which seems to be thawing a bit - help me keep on track)!! Jaizella is an amazingly flexible person to work with and ridiculously professional with what she does! I *highly* recommend that you go check out her store, and no, she is not paying me to say this! LOL
This is a mini album I made for a very dear friend of mine - And although it wasn't "completely" finished when I recorded this (I added some tags and photo mats to it after I recorded the video), this is it *mostly* done! I got this kit from the wonderful Edith over at Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique on Facebook. She is also another wonderful lady to work with and she helps the crafty community get what they're looking for affordably and quickly! I love getting updates from her!
This is the very first altered canvas I ever made, and I turned it into a calendar for a friend of mine for Christmas, but only recently posted the video just in case he stopped by my channel BEFORE getting the parcel. :) I learned a lot while making this and have plans to make more in the near future!!! Hope that was enough of an update for you!! As per the standard, should you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment section, and I'll get back to you ASAP!

Told you more projects would be heading to my blog near you!! ;) Below is my entry into the challenge over on the "Use Your Stuff" blog! I did not like this paper collection at all after opening it.. It was some collection by Crate Paper, and it just didn't jive with me... The challenge at "Use Your Stuff" was to use a circle on the layout. I don't have a circle maker, nor do I have a personal cutting maching to cut me a circle large enough for a layout, so what I did was the following: I took a large paper doily, sprayed it to Timbuktu and back with Dylusions sprays, Adirondack color washes and Tattered Angels glimmer mist. I had to wait for it to dry overnight - It was pretty damp after all was said and done. I then cut the doily's center out from all the design part on the outside. This took some time, but in the end I got my circle! The rest of the layout is pretty easy to figure out. I did my journaling on the doily in the end... I was going to do it in that space at the bottom, but I kind of liked it bare. :) Anyway - It's picture time!!
Aaaaand that's all folks!! Krafty Kerry signing off!
