Name banner Dr Suess

2012-02-01T19:59:00.000-08:00

Special requests are always a challenge especially finding licensed items. Finding Dr Suess chipboard for embellishments was next to impossible. His bedroom walls were painted by an artist and so
over the top Suessville, this colorful banner will be just fine over his bed.

This Special Request banner was for a 2 year old. I used Birthday Bash cartridge. I would have

Name Banner and a Freebie

2012-01-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

I spent the afternoon crafting a Name banner for a friend's grandson who will turn 1 year old.
It was so hard to not bling it up. I had a hard time making it somewhat plain. I love wild embellishments. I do have a few glitter dots here and there. I just could not resist. I used ColorBok All Boys papers . The letters were cut using Cricut cartridge Plantain in dark brown/white polka dot
Colorbok paper. The sun and snail were made using Create a Critter in coordinating color texture papers.
I made a Happy Birthday for my card which I'll offer here as a freebie. After printing , add colors using pencil or markers. You might have to reduce printing size in your printing program .

Wow... I have been away for a long time. I haven't been idle though. I've been crafting away

and making custom banners for GirlyGlam4Me . Please stop by and LIKE us on our Facebook page to see what's new . I wanted to show a banner I made just for myself.
My hubby is building me a craft studio in our finished basement. I have outgrown my large wall in a bedroom, I'm afraid. It's going to be so Shabby Chic pretty when it is all done. I made this banner using papers from Bella Amoire . I embellished with black rhinestones , pearls, ribbons and fibers. The letters were cut using my Cricut Expression. Love those new yarn fibers ! I had to buy some in many different colors to add to my projects now and again. The stick pins are handmade also. I can't wait for the room to be finished and I can put it up.
I have a freebie today. I needed tags , so I made a word art to fit a tag punch. Don't snag this one because it has a watermark.

Owl gift tag and circle wordart Owl freebie !

2011-09-27T07:35:00.000-07:00

I crafted a gift tag to go along with the owl card I made yesterday for the crocheted owl hat
I'll be gifting to a friend's little one . I made a colored digistamp out of the paper crafted owl on the owl card and added circle word art. It completely matches the card. So cute !
I'm offering the circle sentiment with colored owl as a freebie . I'm attaching a 3" file and a 2" file.
For this gift tag I printed the 2" file on cardstock and used a 2 "circle punch to cut it out . You can use a 2" circle of any kind to cut it out. You don't need a scrapbook punch. I pop dotted that to a 2 1/2 " circle and taped that to a 3" scalloped circle . I punched a small hole and added the ribbon. It took me just a few minutes.
You can get the files at 4 shared. PNG, PU, 300 DPI

The 3" file is .... Here
The 2" file is ..... Here

Sorry, no CU just Personal Use for your crafting projects . Credit to SugarPawScraps is appreciated.

Necklace card and Scroll Journal Freebie

2011-08-25T09:49:00.000-07:00

My beautiful daughter's birthday is today . I incorporated a necklace into
her birthday card. One of the layers is a pocket where I hid
the chain. She can just pull
it out later to wear it. In the picture one of the top pearls popped off
the circle die cut and I
added it back later after I noticed it missing. I've found out you need to
glue those tiny pearls
to some cardstocks. I decorated the inside also with matching paper
and made a scroll journal
piece to write a few words. I'm trying to teach myself calligraphy.
It's way harder than it looks !
If you'd like the scroll journal for inside a 5 inch card , you can get it

The journal lines are faint. If you want a bold line, this one might not be
for you.

First Day School card and a freebie !

2011-08-20T14:49:00.000-07:00

I saw a card design I really liked one day . The card markers name was Wendy
from Kingstons Kreations blog. Her apple card was from a Cricut cartridge I believe.
I made this one for my grand daughter on her first day
of school. I cut the apple card base as best as I could just using my scissors. Those
seeds took longer than the base.
I thought I'd offer you the sentiment I made for inside the smallest Spellbinders oval.
I'm still stuck on the Summertime font. I need to change it up next time.:-)
The inside of card has a free printable subway art from sweetcoconutlime Blog reduced
to 3 inches.

Anywho, you can download the small png file ....HERE

I also wanted to RAVE about the new No Shim Embossing Mat for Cuddlebug. Mine
finally arrived in the mail and I love, LOVE, LOVE it. Nothing
else is needed to emboss after the cut but this mat and the 2 B's. TERRIFIC product !

It's storming here in the mitten ! Perfect day to make cards unless we lose power.

My sweet granddaughter goes back to school here soon . I wanted to send
her a treat for her lunch bag. Inside the card box is a 1.8 oz box of
Good and Plenty and a note from grandma :-) It's our favorite candy to
share together once in awhile. I made the digi stamp for the 2" punch .
I thought I'd share it with you . It looks cute with the scallop punch .
The double punched circle would look just as cute glued to a sucker or
any thing in their lunch bag actually.

I needed a baby card for a family member , so I looked around till
I found one I wanted to CASE. It came from sandrasscrapsels blog .
Her whole blog is awesome!! The card turned out so cute !
The first picture is the front . I cut out a baby bottle card using a template
and just decorated with baby boy designer paper from Martha Stewart.
The second picture I added the poem on one side and made a
diaper to hold the Babies R Us gift card.
The back is decorated also but I forgot to snap a picture. I had to
custom make an envelope to fit and just wrapped it all in a big blue bow.
I had made a Sweet Baby text to fit an oval punch but did not use it .
Maybe you can.

Freebie Sympathy sentiment for A2 card

2011-07-23T15:57:00.000-07:00

Today I had to make a pet sympathy card for a good friend that lost her
yorkie to illness the other day. If you look close enough you'll find a tear
stain or two. :-( It's a bit similar to the human sympathy card I made the
other day but I changed it up to make it pet themed.

I have a detailed post at Taggerpaws , if you're interested in what I used.
I wrote a short tutorial on how I print out these borders also.
Pop over and take a look.
There are two freebie sentiments there that match the card above.
She will be Remembered and He will be Remembered. They fit
the smallest oval Spellbinders die.

sympathy card I made yesterday.

I made a Happy Birthday border for an A2 size card today.

fit an A2 size card.
Font size is 60. The file will not have the paw print background
paper when you download it from 4 shared. Personal Use only please.

WOOF !

I put together this cowboy boot shaped
birthday card for my brother. I saw something similar
online once. I did an internet search for a cowboy boot template.
It's so cute ! I made a Happy Birthday digistamp to fit

a bit more. It looks too plain. I still have time before I pop
it in the mail. The design paper is from a digital kit I printed using textured

Happy Birthday Papa Digistamp /Apron Card

2011-07-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

I made a card for my hubby's birthday this weekend. My inspiration
was a super card I saw called Pops BBQ by Robbie for MelJen's challenge.
I used what I had on hand , changed it a bit and it turned out very cute.
I thought I'd pass along a Happy Birthday Papa sentiment
to those that would like it. It will print out
2" by 1.29 ". It looks cute cut apart, layered and distressed. The
file is PNG so you can print it out on any color cardstock.
The papers I used for the apron card is Americana by K & Co.
The inside of the card is decorated also in the same paper pack.
I had no template for the spatula. It is a bit weird looking but hubby
won't care. :-)

Declaration of Independence Background /4th of July Card with coffee sleeve

2011-06-30T17:10:00.001-07:00

I made a card for an Independence Day birthday and I needed a script background paper. I was inspired by a blogger for the American flag using cardboard. I have her name written down somewhere. I will add her name when I find it.
I went to an American history page and found the Declaration of Independence . I hope it's considered public domain. I reduced it and cropped it for background paper. It will print 4 by 5 for A2 size card. If you ink and distress it looks really cool ! Glued on top of the script paper is a Starbucks coffee sleeve I decorated and added a Starbucks gift card inside the sleeve . Designer paper is Americana paper pack
by K and Co.

roughly 2" w by .6" high which was perfect printed on cardstock,

Spring Easel Card

2011-03-03T05:20:00.000-08:00

I've got Spring fever ! I'm ready for some warm air
coming this way. We still have about 5 weeks of cold, snow, wind
and ice to muddle through here in the mitten. I'll
have to settle for spring color and fun images till then.
I made an easel card using Meljen Designs . The minute I saw this
digistamp I loved it. Learning to color with markers has been
a challenge for me. I'm all about the digital design coloring so
adding color by hand using a marker is not easy.
There is no *undo* option ! You are stuck with your
mistake or have to start all over again which is a bit
frustrating.
Click on the image for detail.
Here is what I used:

Johnny Boots Spring Digistamp and Tulip line sentiment by MelJen Designs.

Digi frame by Kim B Designs which was fussy cut by hand and for
some dimension foam dots were added. Both digistamps were
colored with prisma markers.

Card base is textured paper by Colorbok

Pattern paper by Doodlebug Design ....Easter assortment

Misc Buttons, pearls, ribbon embellishments.There is a tutorial
for making the korker ribbons for cards ( and most
anything korker) under Labels or Here.

Glass Effects and gelly pens.

I have entered this card into Meljens Challenge # 48.
It's a first for me other than a card share at Meljen's.

Spring is right around the corner ! I just know it :-)

Grunge card

2011-02-25T06:16:00.000-08:00

I love the grunge look. I love prim country also. I just made
a pin cushion using one of my antique spools that turned out cute.
While I was in that mode, I decided to make a grunge card
for a friend. I started with Kraft colored paper by The Paper Co.
I stamped swirls in Chestnut all over the paper. Using Versamark pad,
I stamped swirls again and heat embossed with clear emboss powder.
I distressed all around the edges and inked .
The flower petals are Sizzix, inked with Holtz
vintage photo and perfect pearls. Butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.
Vine is Sizzix, inked with Tim Holtz vintage photo and forest moss.
Buttons , burlap ribbon, glitters and glass effects
here and there. Click on image for closer detail .
Even though I made a messy inky mess, this card was the most fun to make.

You can use jewelers cord, scrappers floss, silk flower wire, etc.
I used the sparkle cord up above. I applied the stiffener to the thread using
a q tip on a piece of copy paper. When it was still wet I rolled it
on a thin round stick or dowel. In the pic I used a thin paint brush.
I secured the ends with plastic clamps I found in the hardware
section of a grocery store. Michael's has small crafters clothes pins
that work great too. I let it dry overnight and it all comes off in a
stiff spiral. Cut what you need for your projects.
I had some white silk flower wire. I colored the wire using a pink ballet
prismacolor marker. I wrapped it around the thin dowel and it made a
nice korker curl. You don't need stiffener, of course, because of the inner wire.
They are a tad picky to touch but they look good too.
It's the bottom pink korker curl in the picture.
The little ribbon korkers for paper cardmaking use the same technique .
Although for hair bows, you need to heat set the curls .
I learned how to make ribbon hair bow korkers
for my granddaughters Here.
Easy Peasy !

Mother's Day Card

2011-02-23T06:16:00.001-08:00

I just finished a Mother's Day card for my sweet Mom. She'll
be 89 next month. I've been wanting to make a few more flowers
using ribbon, so this was a good opportunity. The center rosette
I glued and wrapped around my piercer. The outer ribbons I
stitched around one side and pulled the threads together
to form circles. The curly q's I made using sparkle thread
I bought by the jewelry crafts dept.To stiffen use fabric stiffener
and wrap around a thin rod. I used
a thin paint brush handle. Secure the ends with very small clothes pins
and set it aside till it all dries. When making the bow korkers
for hair bows , it's better to heat them in a low heat oven but for cards
just having them air dry works well.
Paper by Colorbox, Spellbinder fancy tags, Martha Stewart
doily edge punch and assorted leaf punches, ribbons,
pearls , Tim Holtz inks and Glossy accents here and there.

St Patrick's Day pull tag card

2011-02-19T17:05:00.000-08:00

Target had metallic gold foil paper by Colorbok
just begging to be made into a pot of gold card
with gold coins. Yes, you can run coins through
the Cuttlebug ! I tried anyway and it worked. Just use a Spellbinders
pad over the coin and paper before adding
the top B plate. I wasn't real happy with the way they came out and wished
I had some real gold chocolate coins instead. I'll save some from Christmas
stockings next year.
I used a 3 " circle punch for the pot, 3 " oval for the rim with a 2 1/2 "
gold foil oval for the inside of the rim. I used my craft cutter to make a
slit in the gold oval for the tag to slide through.
The bun feet for the pot is 1" circles. The shamrocks are
smallest EK Success punched hearts glued together . I used the gold
paper for the buckle punch also. When you pull the shamrocks tag up it's
stamped Hugs and Kisses in Tim Holtz forest green.
I wish I had a Kiss Me stamper instead. Things to watch for next year.

My 2nd beautiful granddaughter will turn 1 year old soon. My how
the time flies by. I made her card using a digital image I have had
since 2009 when it was offered as a freebie. The digital
image I used is by an awesome designer Kim B Designs .
She is such a sweetheart. When I asked Kim if I could
use her designs to make clusters or QP's for my blogs
Taggerpaws and Sugarpawscraps she said yes with
pleasure. Check out her blog if you love digital design !
I used Kim's Happy Cow kit for the birthday cow
image and some of the digital papers included in the kit.
The other paper scraps are
by Imaginisce All Kinds of Happy. I used liquid pearls,
glossy accents for shine, lots of glitter , stickles, liquid applique for
the frosting, pretty gem stones and metal flower stickers,
Spellbinder oval die and assorted punches for tag
and hearts .
This card was so much fun to make. Just looking at
Kim's happy cow holding a cupcake put a smile on my face.

A butterfly shaped card

2011-02-11T18:36:00.000-08:00

I wanted to try my hand at designing a butterfly card template, so
I opened my Paint Shop Pro software and messed around with vector
shapes. I know digital scrapbooking much better than paper scrapping.
Using heart vectors and eclipse I came up with this template.
I used pearlized card stock , liquid pearls and a massive amount of
pretty glitter. The antenna took me a few tries using black scrappers
floss, glue to shape and stiffen plus black liquid pearl drops.
I used a sweet sentiment from Meljen Designs . I just love her
artwork. I'm looking forward to making another card using her
awesome digistamps.
I'm sending this one to a friend. The inside simple says Thank you .
Thanks for viewing my card. I'm learning quite a lot as time goes by.
I really enjoy making these cards for those I love. I'm going to
work on a few more shaped card templates I can offer as
printable freebies. I have a pet themed one in mind already for Taggerpaws.

If Love... word art freebie !

2011-02-05T19:49:00.001-08:00

As I mentioned in a previous post, I embellished the inside of my
yorkie embossed card with a sympathy word art I made in PSP.
I used it in gold to match the card but I also have it in black.
You're free to use it in your crafting projects. PU only.
I reduced it to 3 " for the inside of my card on ivory cardstock
and it printed beautifully.

Lollipop flower basket

2011-02-05T16:30:00.000-08:00

Today at thedigichick.com there was a tutorial for a lollipop
basket. Hers is adorable and much more professional looking
than I could ever attempt. I thought I'd try my hand at it anyway.
I did not have the spiral rose
template till the yellow ones. I think those are the best
flowers for this lolly basket . I guess I will get
better at making the rose lolly flowers the more I do them. It's a cute
project to do on a snowy afternoon and the kids will love it !

Embossed edge card

2011-02-05T07:17:00.000-08:00

I tried a new technique I learned from Gina K at Stamp TV.
She showed how to emboss around the edge of cardstock
to match the embossing powder you used for your stamp.
It's a wonderful idea and one I'll use more often.
Click on image for more detail.
Papers : Colorbox for the pink striped and DCWV designer pack
Rustic . Spellbinder fancy tag, ribbon and pearls.
I have embellished the inside with a sympathy sentiment.
I will share it as a freebie when I upload it to 4 shared tomorrow.

Freebie Word Art !

2011-02-02T13:11:00.000-08:00

Someone asked me where I found the digital word art I used
for my easel valentine card down below. I made it in PSP . I reduced
it just enough to fit the size heart spellbinder nestie I wanted to use .
It's png. You can use any color paper ( but red) to print. It is only
300 by 150 pixels. It is a 1 inch print out for card making.
I colored in the heart using a prisma marker. Please use it if you can.
Credit and a link back to SugarPaw Scraps is very appreciated.

Blizzard and a very simple valentine card

2011-02-02T12:59:00.001-08:00

We've been under a blizzard warning since yesterday 7 PM.
So far there has not been a let up in sight. A minute ago
I looked out to see a total white out. Hopefully it's out
of the mitten in a few hours. We'll be digging out all afternoon.
I made a very, very simple valentine card today for hubby.
He is not for all the frou frou. He likes all the cards I make
though but for him I went simple. The speciality paper I used was from
K and Company. Nestie hearts for the pull out tag and a heart sticker
here and there. That's it...easy peasy !
Stay warm. I read the Ground Hog predicts an early spring.
That's a good thought, right ?

Flower Pocket Card

2011-01-30T18:03:00.000-08:00

Today I made a pocket card for someone's upcoming birthday . I used
Kaisercraft pattern paper called English Rose. Punches by Martha
Stewart, Cherish edge and a butterfly. The flowers
are by Flora Doodles and distressed inks by Tim Holtz.
Glossy Accents on the flowers/leaves, ribbons and pearls.
This card went together rather easy. I had seen a similar design
by Itzuvit one day and decided this was a card I wanted to make
next. Clicking on the image will open another window to see more detail.

Snow, Snow, Snow

2011-01-29T19:07:00.000-08:00

So I sat at my craft desk and made a card for my
Grandson Jack's 3 rd birthday coming up in Feb. Time sure
is flying by. I thought robots sounded like a fun design
for a little boy.
The patterned paper I used is Little Robots by In My Mind's Eye .
I distressed edges and inked them up with Tim Holtz inks. Brads
and ribbon from my stash. After I took the picture, I added
another sentiment inside using a Spellbinders
label and added his name to the front along the striped edge.
I made a lime green envelope to match. I just love the Martha
Stewart score board. It makes great envelopes !

More Easel card Fun !

2011-01-25T08:31:00.000-08:00

I'm still making cards ! This one will go to my sweet granddaughter
for Valentine's day. The image used is by Penny Black . I found an instruction
enclosure print out online to put inside the envelope. I've found out
many people don't understand these cards stand on their own. I used another Penny Black image of a hedgehog for my grandson's card.
I wanted to mention I made a Birthday card for my son in law and used
background digital paper I printed using my printer. The paper looks as nice on the card as if I purchased it from a paper pack. If your making homemade cards and can use any of freebies I have made, feel free. Don't forget they can only be used for personal use. Anything I have used from a digital designer, I have written permission to use for only myself to give away as Personal Use freebies. Gotta follow copyright
rules !
I'll probably be working on some more digital stamp freebies until I get my digital design kit/QP mojo back. The digital stamps are easy and quick for me.
It's been bitter cold here in the mitten . I hope the ground hog brings some warm weather soon !

Freebie Digistamp

2011-01-16T06:57:00.000-08:00

I needed a digi stamp for a card project. It's in png , so snag it if you'd like.
You can use it anyway you like, but credit is always appreciated.
Click on the image for original size and right click to save AS a png.
You'll preserve the format with no background
and it will print on any color paper you choose to use .
It prints and cuts out nicely with a 2 " punch. Print on cardstock and
color in the heart using your markers and it looks really cute.
I'll be making one for TaggerPaws also. If you need one with a paw print,
stop by there later.

Valentine Easel Card

2011-01-15T21:03:00.000-08:00

Today I tried following a tutorial for an easel card . I'm still
pretty new to making handmade cards using paper instead of digital design,
but even I think this one turned out really cute.
The tutorial I followed step by step was by Mary Lou Schroeder .
It was posted on her blog marylouscorner.blogspot.com.
I've never tried an easel card yet,
so I gave it a whirl . The cute yorkies I used ,with her permission,
are by artist Jane Hoffer. I love her artwork and she knows it :-)
Patterned paper is by K & Company. So until I get my mojo
back for digital design , I'll be making cards to give to my
family and friends.
I've made more cards in the last few months. I may add them here if
anyone is interested. I'd also like to thank those of you that sent
such nice condolences after reading my previous post. I was very touched.
I know we all have lost beautiful furbabies that are every
bit our family as our lovely human children. They are very loved still
even though at Rainbow Bridge.

I'm still here .....

2011-01-12T11:23:00.001-08:00

I haven't been in the mood for digital creating lately :-( It was a sad year for me
last year. I lost my beloved 3 1/2 year old yorkie in August to a fast aggressive cancer called multiple myeloma . She was only sick 20 days. After many transfusions , biopsies, medications and tests, the vets treating her could not save her. She had a pulmonary hemorrhage on the 20 th day and left for Rainbow Bridge. I've been in a blue funk for awhile now. I miss her so much. She was not quite 4 pounds and very much loved.
I hope to get back to digital designs soon. In the mean time , I've been making homemade cards in my craft room when I'm not helping with family and grandkids. It
has kept me from my sadness .
I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas Holiday ! We've been snowed in since yesterday , so I'm going to finish a project or two.

She is still in the hospital , so I've been on grandma duty.
I did manage to make an Earth Day graphic to share with you.
It's 775 by 808 pixels not full size and personal size only.

Need Photo Repair ?

2009-09-21T11:22:00.000-07:00

I came across a lady that does photo repair work via the internet and I'm so happy with her work ! I had a horrible looking photo hubby kept on his tool box since the early 80's. It was faded, taped, torn, spotted, and full of tack holes. It was taken in front of a fountain at the zoo around 1980-81. This year those same two little girls posed at the same fountain with their children. I wanted to make a LO but I just could not fix that old picture. One part of a face was completely gone. I almost gave up until I found Tricia.
Tricia not only fixed it she tried to make a new mouth and chin. She even removed a whole person from the photo. I'm standing right by my young daughter holding her on the stone ledge in the original. In one finished repair, I'm taken out.
I wanted to pass this along . You may have old damaged photos that are very special to you and she will help. She is very affordable .
Here is her link http://triciasphotoeffects.blogspot.com/
Tell her Judy from TaggerPaws/SugarPaw Scraps sent you there. You won't be sorry with her professional work or her sweet personality !
Photo memories are vital to our happiness and those of future generations. Look around and see
if you have any old photos that need repair work . :-)

I'm so happy to see s0 many people snagging the Summer's End
QP. I have another QP almost ready to share using the same

I simple fell in love with that page kit !
The cake frame is a template by Christina Brown .
They both graciously gave me permission to make a QP ,
using their PTU designs, to offer here at SugarPaw Scraps.
I can't thank them enough !!!
Hopefully I can do a boy birthday QP too ! Hmmm, I wonder
