T-Ball Time!

Hellooooo! I'm back with another scrapbook page. I have really enjoyed my creative freedom lately. The past couple of months I've been so tied down with customer orders and such that I haven't had time to do any scrapping of my own. So finally, i have time. This page was created using a baseball svg freebie from Lindsay's blog. and a grass freebie, that I have no idea where I got it. Sorry folks.

I used this sketch from Sketch Inspiration.

I also created my own little bottlecap to go on the page! Isn't it cute?!

All in a Day's Work

First of all, I want to remind you that the Shop, Hop & Blog is still going on for the next 2 days and LSS is still having a 50% off storewide sale!

Yesterday was quite a productive day in my craft room! I got 6 scrapbook pages done, finished making 79 bottlecaps and 36 glass tile pendants. The scrapbook pages are for my aunt. She loves to take photos and she gave me a box with about 30+ rolls of film in it from the past 10 years and asked me to scrap them for her. Thankfully I don't have to scrap every single picture, and she's going to pay me, but what a task! Well it's been sitting in my craft room for several months and yesterday I finally found the gumption to get started.

This page features a carousel horse digi stamp from Linsday's Stamp Stuff. I posted it in the virtual crop room at MyGrafico.

I've been making this kind of jewelry for quite some time and selling it in my craft booth in town, but a lady who runs a local gift shop saw my things and wanted to place a wholesale order. So below is what she will be putting in her store. The first design I purchased from an Etsy seller here. It comes as a digital file that you can print and do what you want with.

This design I created on my own. I have it for sale in my Etsy shop here.

These are glass tile (scrabble tile) pendants.

Digi Stamps & Bottlecap Jewelry!

Before I get to my project, I just wanted to announce that today is my 5th anniversary with my husband!

This week I've been making more things for my craft booth and it suddenly occured to me that digi stamps would look great on bottlecaps! So I did these two as an experiment! They turned out great!

I first printed my digis at about 1" and then colored them with my Bic Mark Its. Then I put one Glaze Drop on top of each one to give them a bubbled effect. Then I cut around the glaze drop to remove the excess paper. Then I used some Diamond Glaze to adhere the bubbled image to the bottlecap. Very easy to do! I purchased both my glaze drops and bottle caps here. Their store is closed for Thanksgiving.

Bottlecap Jewelry

Today I thought I'd share with you what I've been up to all weekend. I got my shipment of bottlecaps and stuff in the mail and I've been playing all weekend. Here are some of what I came up with. I'm going to put them in my craft booth for sale. I have ribbon necklaces to go with them. I apologize for the horrendously blurry photos, but my camera has about had it. I'm getting a new one for Christmas *hopefully*. So keep your fingers crossed, but for now you get the idea.

The bottlecaps and the Glaze Drops came from Sun & Moon Craft Kits. Apparently their store is closed over Thanksgiving break, but you'll have to check them out when they return! They have some great deals! I was able to make these for under $1.00 each. Maybe even less than that!

Anyways, the way I did it was I printed my images, cut them into 1" circles and then used fabri-tac (any tacky glue would work) to attach them to the bottle cap. Then I placed one of the "Glaze Drops" over the top to give it a bubbled up effect. So easy!
