Hiding In My Craft Room Challenge #123

HIMCR #123- Super Scraps Saturday!

The sponsor this week is Scrapbook Stamp Society! The winner will get to choose 3 digital images from the ones that the design Team used! 

Go to Hiding in My Craft Room to check out the entries!

Here is my design for the week.  I chose to make my reindeer pink!  

I also wanted to share some other cards that I made this week at my monthly scrapping night with my friends.  I wanted to try using some of my new washi tape.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Altered CD Christmas Card

Using my husbands old CD's, I recycled them and made an altered Christmas card. I think it will be perfect for my son's 5th grade teacher this December. I may even add a pocket for a gift card later on!

I thought I'd try my first challenge from hidinginmycraftroom.com. The challenge this week (#12) is to alter something.  Laurie's example was Christmasy, so I was inspired to pull out my Christmas stash. Here is the final product:

First, I gathered some supplies.  I got 2 CD's and cut 2 holes in the top of each about an inch apart, using my Crop-a-dile. Then I cut 4 different circles from Christmas paper with my Cricut (George and Basic Shapes at 4.75"). I cut holes in the paper to line up with the holes in the CD's.

Next I adhered the paper and inked the edges to distress them.

I chose coordinating ribbon (4 colors), cut each piece about 7", tied it through the two holes at the top and trimmed it.

Next I cut ovals out of scraps with my punches.

I inked the ovals, stamped the sentiment, and adhered them.

I added a circle to the inside to write a message.

The back has a cute image of Santa on it.

Thanks for looking!

It's Scrap Party Time Again!

Just thought I'd throw in a little preview of our next scrap party that my lovely mother-in-law Penny is throwing again this year! (http://www.pennywarner.com/)

I designed some cards to hopefully inspire lots of card-making this year:

The "Kraft" (brown paper-bag-looking) paper is big this year in all the crafting magazines, so I thought I'd give some of them a try.

I also tried some paper ornaments, but they were just ok:

In other news:

I recently made some cute stuff for my hairdresser, that I hope she'll feature and sell at her salon (DOLCESALON1@gmail.com):

These are the explosion albums that I make. This one features Katy at Dolce Salon's adorable daughter Reese.
I made this sign so it can hang in her salon.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
