Snow Day - and a DARE!


 I have a nice snowy layout to share with you today! I used the Sketch from Get Your Sketch On, the new sketch site I posted about a few days ago - hurry there is still time to play till Sunday night! And I used Dare 45 from Elizabeth Kartchner's book 52 more scrapbooking challenges which is featured on my friend Scrappy Natty's blog! The challenge or dare is to Get Inked! That is to use ink on your layout!
 I used the snowflake stamps from Gina K's Winter Mittens in Marina Mist on Marina Mist CS. I then spritzed some Sea Glass, Lavender Fields and Snowflake Glimmer Mist on the background. I also painted the edges with a white paint dauber! Then for the felt snowflakes from SU I spritzed them with the same colors of glimmer mist and it was a totally different look. In the center of the snowflakes I put either a rhinestone or a dew drop. I placed a small strip of SU pp behind the bottom row to anchor the picture.
Beside the picture I added a sparkly sprig and berries and tied some Marina Mist taffeta ribbon to that.
For the title I just used some sparkly Doodlebug letters and wrote his age and the date in Marina Mist SU marker.
Here is a close up of the picture with Sprig and title.
Thanks for looking and be sure to check out

Winter White Trigger


 I haven't had a chance to play along with the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger in several weeks and I missed it! So I was delighted to be instantly inspired by this weeks trigger!
Isn't that just beautiful!?!?!? My wedding cake couldn't have been more different! LOL not that it wasn't beautiful it was just very simple and square and had red roses on top of it.
This cake evokes everything a fairytale wedding should be!
White on white, black tie, flowers and shimmer!
You will see this reflected in my card!
I used SU's shimmer white paper for everything and sprayed the flower pieces with Marshmallow glimmer mist for even more shine!
I found it is very difficult to photograph a white on white card with shimmer! But I gave it my best effort!
 This picture was the best that you could actually see the shimmer on and now I am not even sure you still can! I started with a shimmer white base. Added another shimmer white layer that I embossed with CB folder Birds and Swirls. I then trimmed a doily and stamped this sentiment on it - it's a SU set - can't remember the name of it! My friend Paula gave it to me! I like the texture the doily adds.
 Here is a close up of the sentiment and you can see the soft silky white seam binding I tied around it - I am in love with seam binding!!!!!!! I stamped the sentiment in Tim Holtz Distress ink in Pumice Stone - I just love this non color!
And a close up of some of the flowers. I die cut a bunch of Tim Holtz Tattered Florals from SU shimmer white and then sprayed them with glimmer mist, layered them up and added a sparkly brad in the center.
Thanks for looking!
You can still play along with this week's Trigger until Sunday night! Just check out all the details HERE.

It's the most spooky time of the year!


I LOVE this time of year! The air turns cooler, perfect jeans and sweatshirt weather! Football is at it’s best! Go Savages! The fall foliage is stunning where I live and it’s almost Halloween (followed closely by my birthday)! Halloween has always been one of my most favorite holidays! I love dressing up and carving pumpkins and CANDY CORN! I have two Halloween inspired cards for you today! One is for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge: Momento Mori.

 I love the challenge picture - so eerie and spooky! The card that I made is not the typical kind of card you see from me but it turned out well I think!

The grave stone and overall cemetery feel was my inspiration! I started by cutting my card front from SU's only orange and I stamped (with some masking) grave stones on the orange in Smokey Shadow. It is just a little dollar stamp from Michael's but worked perfectly for this! It is the only actual stamping on this card. Then for the moon I punched a circle out of lemon tart cs and spritzed it with Yellow Daisy Glimmer mist that I got at CKC. I then put the fancy frame transparency on. On top of the transparency I punched out the fence with my MS border punch on Smokey Shadow cs and spritzed it with Black Magic Glimmer Mist and adhered it to the card. I thought the raven/crow was a fun little addition and it came in the package with the frame. It is popped up on dimensionals and is all glittery! Finally at the bottom I had some space so I took some seam binding that I had glimmer misted and crumpled and I pleated it for the bottom. I decided that it didn't need a sentiment on the front that it said enough as it is!

My next card is a nice CAS little card - but I LOVE it!
So my friend Jaala over at Witch Crafts enabled me to get the Spellbinders Candy Corn dies - not that it was hard as I mentioned before I LOVE all things Candy Corn! It pretty much went like this: Jaala - so I want to make a banner with my candy corn dies. ME - candy corn dies? what, where, how do I get them? And I ordered them from Creative Play Stamps that day. Anywho, I had this idea for a card with just the big candy corn and this is what I came up with. Because it is so simple I gave it some pizazz by Glimmer Misting each piece! Super simple but oh so cute! I had to go buy the Happy Halloween stamp because get this - I didn't have one! Trick or Treat, boo and several other but not an actual HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Stamped it in Pallete Black Noir and there you have it! Oh and the candy corn candle? Cute right? It's a locally made candle by SAHM's candles. They are the best! long lasting, strong scent and cheap! You can find them at the Rusty Chandelier or Victorian Joe, I think she has a FB page too. Well Thanks for stopping by today! I have more to share with you if I can find the time this week with Parent Teacher Confrences!

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!
