Tool Thursday

Good Morning all! Welcome to Tool Thursday at the Scrappin Place! I was in my scrappin place last night and suddenly remembered that I needed to have a tool for review today. So I thought that I would take a look around my scrappin place to see what tool I use daily. I found that I used my Paper trimmers way much! Now, I have 3 paper trimmers, which am I happy with all 3, no, but I do use them. I have the Provocraft trimmer that came with my cricut kit, the Fiskars portable trimmer and the Making Memories trimmer that cuts waves. What I have found is that on the 2 regular trimmers, the blades do not last very long and I am continually replacing them. So if any of you have some suggestions on trimmers, please let me know.

Hope you all have a great day!

Whatever Wednesday

Good morning everyone! Welcome to Whatever Wednesday! Now for today's post, I was looking around the web and such to see if I could find something a little different. I found a video that if you all are looking to make something with your kids, this maybe what you are looking for. The video was "scented ornaments" and the channel on YouTube is Cookingandmore. Go check it out! I am going to give it a go with my son. If you can't find it, go to my channel and it is the first vid under my favorites!

Have a great day!

Blog Review Monday!

Happy Monday! Well, I had a busy weekend and looking forward to a relatively quiet week. Now, with that said, it is time for Blog Review here at my Scrappin Place! This is one of the best blogs that I have seen and she is quite the artist. Penny Duncan Creations, which you all should go and take a look at her blog! For those of us who use Sure Cuts A Lots with their Cricut, she does a wonderful job at creating the Scuts (which are the cut files) for all of us to use. I call her the Bomb Diggity of SCAL! Go over and see her wonderful blog at http://pennyduncancreations.blogspot.com/

Fabo Fridays!!!

Well here we are, FRIDAY!!! This is my first Fabo Friday, and on Fridays I will be posting finished projects that I have completed for the week. Now this may not happen every Friday, as like today, but stay tuned, my scrappy friends, I have great plans!

Hope to see you all soon and hope you all are having a great holiday season!

Tool Thursday

For my first "Tool" Thursday post, is for tools that I use at the Scrappin Place, and think are pretty cool! Now, we all use scissors for cutting that lovely scrapbooking papers, ribbon and other items that need to be trimmed. I just purchased the Tim Holtz ionic scissors and I love, love, love them! I also use the cutter bee scissors, by EK Success, and they are also very good. But the Tim Holtz ones can not only cut paper and the other stuff I listed, they are the most comfortable handles I have ever used. So, my scrappy peoples, give these scissors a try, they are wonderful.

Whatever Wednesday

Okay, now for this new weekly post, I have named it Whatever Wednesday. So, this will be whatever I think I should post! LOL! It can be a new technique, new paper line, a review or whatever comes to my little brain! : )

Now, I was in my Scrappin Place, where I am currently working on Christmas Paper Bag mini albums. I was attempting to figure out how to make something sparkle even more than my favorite sparkle, which is Stickles, and remembered that I had purchased some of the diamond dust. I have to say it worked like a charm and it is sparkley!!!! Very easy to use, but here is a tip, use a spoon to sprinkle it over the glue, I can guarantee it will be less of a mess! I used my scotch glue to adhere it to what I wanted, and it does take a while to dry, but boy, you will love the results!

Give it a try, I promise, you will like it. Just keep it out of reach of the kids, as it is glass.

YouTube Tuesdays!

Another new weekly post from Scrappin T! I am calling this YouTube Tuesdays and this will be a recommendation on YouTube videos that my YouTube buddies have made that I have found to have new techniques, tips and other neat stuff. So for my very first YT Tuesday, I think that you all should check out Iowa2308's channel and view her vid on Metal Sheeting meets Texture Fades and Utee! It is a really neat technique that she shows on this video, so head on over to YT to give it a look.

Wow! I have forgotten about my blog!!!

Hey all you scrappers out there! I was in the process of viewing Craftjunkietoo's latest YouTube vid, regarding her DT call and while I was listening, I popped over to her blog, to give it a look. Love her blog, it is really cute, and thought, Hey I should check my blog. So, I hopped over and saw that the last time I had posted anything was June! Yikes!!! Bad T! So, I am setting a goal, as of today, to view my blog and updated it 3 times a week! I am going to be introducing some new scrappy happens and some other stuff, so hang to your bling, ladies, here comes Scrappin T!

Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist

I won these on an Ebay auction and if you all go to my YouTube, I have a short video with tips on how these work. I will have another video on these today.

Lollipop, Lollipop, Lollipop........

Here is my Lollipop flowers that I made and they are really easy to make. I got the material at WalMart for $2 a yard. I also will have some in black, brown, pink, red and maroon really soon. Let me know what you all think....

Here is a doop on the Baby Prima Roses! I had a ball making them and they were super duper easy! I used th McGill Petite Petals punch. I saw this on YouTube by Kathy Orta. I do have a couple of tips on these. If you spray the petals with a little water, they are a little easier to shape. Spray them with glimmer mist before you put them together. I can't wait to make more!

Happy Memorial Day!

Hope that you are all having a great Memorial Day weekend with your families. Just thought that I would let you all know, if you all don't already, some of crafty sales that are going on:

Scrap Happens! LOL!

Just thought I would drop a note and let you all know what is going on at Scrappin T's Place. I am currently working on several projects and with the 3 day weekend coming up, I hope to get several of them done. I have also discovered that I have not been using my wonderful Cricut to it full potential, so you will be seeing more creations from that wonderful machine!!

Hope that you all have a great holiday weekend!

Mini Album for teacher

My son asked if I could make something to give to his teacher, so I made this from a 12x12 file folder and cut the tags from my cricut. It was easy peasy!!!

Graphic 45 Renaissance Faire May Madness Contest

I have entered my very first contest!!! I love Graphic 45 and they are having a Renaissance Faire May Madness Contest, which you have to enter via facebook and the other part is that you had to use their Renaissance Faire paper collection. So, I altered an old bottle that I had, but could not get the cork out of it! LOL! Enjoy!

Bingo anybody????

I got these bingo cards and markers via Ebay for a really great deal and I can not wait to see what I am able to create with them.....

Something old

I went to my local antique store and I found these great old postcards and these 2 old magazines that I thought would be great to scan and use in some of my projects.......

Purple Passion Mini Album

Here is my latest mini album that I have called Purple Passion. Gee, can you all tell why..... I made this with my Cricut Sentimentals cartridge and I chose to use the envelopes for the pages. I then cut the insert for the envelope and used them as tags. I also used vellum for the envelopes. I did learn that I really need to either find those large eyelets or get my bind it all fixed.

Well, here are a few pictures of some of the roses I have made using a few tips from Marion at a Piece of Craft.com and my cricut machine. Let me know what you all think of these......

March Tag Swap

I am participating in my very first Tag Swap, which is being hosted by Arlene from Butterfly Kisses and I have had a great time doing it. I learned a lot by doing this swap and here are some tips....
1. Stamp all images on the tag before you put your embellies on....
2. Remember there is a back side to the tag....
3. Glimmer Mist the back side before you finish the front side.....
Now I know a few of you are going, DUH, Teresa, what were you thinking girlie?!!? It is plain to see that I wasn't, but as they say there is never a mistake in crafting, just another creative idea.....
