nuts week 154

i decided to try a "boy" and "girly" version of this weeks sketch!

and can you believe that this

boy page has almost no patterned paper???

lovin' my i*rock still! used the little bit that was left over from the

march scraptastic club "all boy" kit!

and the girly version...

old pics of lex, and really old stash!

a fun mix of old and new here!

new studio calico and echo park papers!

tfl!!!

inspired by....

jessica of scraptasic club and her beautiful wall art

she creates every sunday for what's scrapping

here are my supplies! i also used my atg, hot gue gun, files and petal roller!

i sprayed the canvas with the glimmer mist. then when

that dried it used the dauber on the edges

i lightly sprayed the word, and aso used the dauber

on the edges

covered with paper and decorated like so...

then attached to the canvas!

tfl!

salt technique, survivor week 6

thank you marah johnson for the fabulous video!!

she used Creative Imaginations Twinkling H2O's *which i would love to try!

i created this page (and tag) for tally scrappers

week 6 team rob survivor challenge

the challenge was...

3 word title, one had to start with the letter o

pink (because of phillips undies lol)

and 2 brads!

so here is my take on marahs technique...

i used chalkboard glimmer mist (LOVE)

i did not pre-wet the tag because i figured the

mist was wet enough

added kosher salt and let dry

and this is the end result! soooo cool!

tfl!

more CAKE!!!

but first on this snowy wednesday i wanted to share

last fridays sign of spring!

and here is the CAKE!

i made a chocolate banana cake!

this was a very dense moist yummy cake!

i didn't write it down as i went (i was so not thinking!)

i used self rising flour

4 bananas

1 stick melted butter

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

1tsp vanilla

1/2 cup cocoa powder

and for the frosting i used the sturdy

whipped cream again. this has become a favorite!

tfl!

some peeks of pages....

i've been a bust scrapper!

here is a tiny april scraptacular peek :)

and a peek for an upcoming nuts sketch for april!

i can't wait to share all i've been up to!

yummy jello cake!

i used a white cake mix, added what was called for on the box

plus 3/4 cup cake flour

cool on rack

when cooled place back in baking pans

you can use a skewer to make small holes in cake

then carefully remove from pans

you can place parchement rounds in pans to make this part easier

FROSTING!!!!

2c whipping cream

1/2 c sugar

8oz softened cream cheese

1 tsp almond extract

this is called a sturdy whipped cream frosting!

add a generous amount between layers

survivor week 4

sarah was killing me with this weeks challenge.

i spent all day wednesday trying to figure out how to

do this one!

we had to distress in 2 ways, by sand and by water.

then we had to make 3 embellishments for the page.

i used my bg file and placed the pp and pics on corrugated cardboard

to get the "ribbed look"

i watered down creme de cocoa glimmer mist and made a

mask from a sass paper with the scalloped boarder.

i also used water on the rolled blue flower (i made with my petal roller).

i sprayed it then pressed it to give it a more

"distressed" look.

we also had to stitch. i used my sew easy to stitch where i journaled

and i stitched on the cardboard butterfly i made.

tfl!!

tgif scrappers!

this is my silly willy!!!

this page was for the "fireworks" challenge on tally scrapper.

christine assigned us each a line from the song.

we also had to include a rainbow or cloud.

thank goodness i bought that cloud punch a year ago lol!!!

i rocked the i*rock on this page.

*note to self pay attention when i*rocking.

facebook news feed and i*rock don't go together well lol!!!

tfl!

tshritprinting.net

i was asked by martin the owner of tshirtprinting.net

to review this adorable logo shirt!

i used to i*rock to bling it up a little!

the shirts run in nice full sizes!

i have already had bill wear and have washed

this shirt 2 times

so if you are looking for a great quality tshirt printing

check out tshirtprinting.net and tell martin i sent you!

survivor week 3 @ tally scrapper

at first glance this challenge seems like it was going to be a killer!!!

2 pics (check)

greenday song (check)

a piece of nature (check)

monochromatic (ceck)

i used glimmer mist (frost) and some screens from tattered angels

to create the background.

i made a small hole and cut away to make the

journaling spot.

i ran the punched (thanks for the punch shawn) flakes

through the xyron and glittlered them.

i covered the stick in white glue, added glitter,

then i used the heat gun.

tfl!

nuts week 151

i am so thankful to still be a part of the nuts about sketches dt!

a box of wscrappy stuff. bobunny! it was perfect for these pics!

so this is what i came up with, my little men at the beach!

sunday sweets and toots!

this was last sundays dessert, homemade napoleon! everyone loved them!

cat puff pastry, prick with fork, and flatten by gently pressing down when it comes out of the oven.

mix easy pastry creme. 1 box vanilla instant pudding, 1 1/4 cup cold milk. whisk for 2 minutes. add 1 cup defrosted cool whip.

layer cooled puff pasrty, and creme.
