Breast Cancer Awareness Mani


Well hello there! October is flying by isn't it!??! I was going to start doing some Halloween nails but I remembered that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (how can you forget?) and decided to do a Breast Cancer Awareness mani instead. Next week I will have some Halloween themed nails for you. So I knew there would be pink involved #duh but that was all I really had in mind when I started. Also my nails are super short right now! In looking at my nail polish collection I noticed I am deficient in pink polish (truth be told I am more of a purple girl) but pink polish is on my list (any excuse to buy polish right?) So I started from there. I used OPI Hey Baby Cream Gloss on my pinkie and middle finger topped with Julep's Monica.


Then on my pointer finger I used Sally Hansen Celeb City (great silver) topped with Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-Ment which is the closest thing to a holo I can find locally!


For the ring finger I used dotting tools and put different size dots of Celeb City, Hey Baby, and China Glaze's Naked on a Julep White Base of Brigitte.


Then on my thumb I painted it Julep's Brigitte then used a dotting tool to make a pink awareness ribbon in OPI, Hey Baby. Not great but not horrible for my first time using a dotting tool to draw a shape!

I hope this raises awareness and maybe causes someone to think about their boobies! Do a self check, have a mammogram, or get involved!!!

I dedicate this manicure to Sherry Pfeil, Marilyn Dedrickson, Donita Lance and Pam Vohs.

Pink Twinks - Find A Cure


The pink continues! All this week the challenges on SCS are going PINK in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today's Try a Technique Challenge was Penciled Pink Twinks - using watercolor pencils and twinkling H20's. I had to change it up a bit since I don't have Twinking H20's. I stamped my image the ribbon in SU's Pretty in Pink and then used my markers to shade some areas with Pixie Pink. I then used my aqua pen and some Perfect Pearls to paint over the stamped image. It worked great! So shimmery! I cut my stamped image out and then inked the edges in Basic Grey and Stamped the Find a Cure in Basic Grey as well. I then straightened the sentiment and stamped it repeatedly on the pretty in pink cs to create a unique patterned paper for my card! The scalloped piece is SEI patterned paper that I used the Threading Water punch on and then finished it off with some sheer "wedding" ribbon from HL and some little adhesive rhinestones - those two seem to be showing up on a lot of my projects! Oh and the cut out ribbon is popped up on dimensionals. I am giving this card to one of the secretaries at work. She is a BC survivor and one of the most awesome people I know! I used a sketch for the card from my new blogger friend Liz's blog Scrapbooking, Sketches and Life, oh my! It was a great sketch and she also created a 12x12 layout with the same design!

Who is the Krafty Mama?


Hi I'm the Krafty one! :) I'm the Queen to 2 little knights and a sweet princess. I married my knight in shining armor (kevlar) over 8 years ago and I am a REAL mom, wife and substitute teacher trying to be the best I can be! I love "krafting" but tend to buy more supplies than I actually use. I love make up, nail polish, hair products and fashion but have been known to leave the house in sweats a messy bun and no make up! I love to cook and bake but am guilty of feeding my kids McDonalds in a pinch. I love direct sales and have joined too many to mention! I would love to get to know you!
