My Paper Crafting Totally Tags N' ATC's Using Pink

Good morning, 

Suzanne of Cricut Crafting Grammy. We are back on Thursdays to explore different themes, elements, techniques or embellishments. This week we are using PInk on our tags and ATC's. There is no restriction on what tools are used to create these tags or ATC's. It could be a die cut machine, punches, stamps, etc. The sky is the limit. However if the Design Team uses Digis or SVG's they will be from Paper Crafting World. As a side note, if you don't know what an ATC card is, we have a definition at the bottom of our post.

I hope you will join us each Thursday here at My Paper Crafting for 

Totally Tags n' ATC's.

Here is the Wikipedia definition of ATC's.

Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 21⁄2 by 31⁄2 inches (63 mm × 89 mm),[small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.[The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged.

My Paper Crafting Creating with Pink

Let me just say that with three granddaughters creating with pink is not difficult.  I have done a lot of pink layouts in the past three years and am sure I will do many more. For the challenge at My Paper Crafting I created these two layouts are of my granddaughter Kenzie who is 2 and a real ham.   

Recipe

Holiday Cakes for the vine cut a 2 inches 

Sweetie Title is from Elmo and Friends cut at 3 inches 

Silhouette of girls heads is from A Child's Year cut at 4 inches.  

The cut is actually of a girl holding a shamrock but I covered the shamrock with the roses. 

Please join us this week for one of the challenges here at My Paper Crafting.  

We would love to see your creations.  

My first Greeting Farm stamps and Copic markers

I am so excited to share my first cards using Greeting Farm Stamps and my Copic markers.  I have been using Spectrum Noir Markers for some months now and finally gave in and bought some Copic markers.  One of my friends at the scrapbook store has been helping me 

plus I bought some books from Annie's Attic. 

 We now carry these adorable Greeting Farm stamps at my LSS.  So I am really trying out some of the new techniques I am learning.  

For the first one I added a Plumeria from Life's a Beach.  Inside it says Aloha.  

For this one I added a MS punch for the lace, and some flowers from Wild Orchid in England.  The branch stamps is a MS punch also and the stamps was from Michaels.  

This third stamp is actually from Michaels and I added some 

MS punched sand dollars, ribbon and a brad.  

BBTB2 Challenge Pass it On Celebrate the Joy of Giving

Our DT member Sarah came up with a great challenge this week for BBTB2.    She asked us to Pass it on and Celebrate the Joy of Giving.  I decided to use my Imagine cart All Wrapped Up.  I made this cute little box and card.  I just love the bold patterns on these cuts and the cute Russian dolls.  I thought this would be a cute little treat bag and card to say Thanks or have a great day.  

Sorry for the blurry picture.

I hope you will join us this week and create a project to brighten someones day and share the joy of giving.  Then link it up and join us here at BBTB2.  We would love to see what you create.  Remember you must use a Cricut cut to participate in the challenge.  

Double layout Class I am teaching with June Graphic 45 A Place in Time

Yesterday I shared the May Graphic 45 A Place in Time layout I was teaching at Scrapbook Blessings in Newbury Park, California.  This is the next design which is the June layout. 

Again the first page is designed by Graphic 45 and sent out to instructors.

Then for the second page I take the leftovers of the cut apart sheets and Bazzil cardstock and designed a second page.  

Closeup the banner is made with a MS punch.  The ladies in my class love banners so for the second page each month I create some kind of banner.  We are really having fun with this.  

May Graphic 45 A Place in Time Layout Class today

I am so excited today I get to teach the next class in in my Graphic 45 A Place in Time Layout Series at Scrapbook Blessings in Newbury Park, California.  I have 12 lovely ladies signed up for these classes for the entire year so we are having a lot of fun and really getting to know each other.  

The first page is the design provided by Graphic 45 and sent out to the teachers.  It is a promotion/contest they are doing this year.  Our page follows that design except for the butterflies.  Instead of the Graphic 45 metal butterflies I used Sizzix chipboard butterflies painted with Silks.  I used Accent Essentials and Lacey Labels for the circle and scalloped circle.

Then I  design a second page for the ladies.   I love working with this paper.

Tomorrow I will share the June layout with A Place in Time.  

Hope you enjoyed this layout.
