Club Scrap Office Space Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Office Space Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Julie's Blog you are in the right place. If you lost your way or just want to head back to Club Scrap and start from the beginning go HERE.

This month's Office Space was the perfect kit for a project I have been wanting to create for months. I have a true love of all things cute and silly. I love gnomes, flamingos, minions, ducks .... the list goes on and on. You will often find me at the Club Scrap retreat snapping pictures with one or more of my little friends. 

My desk at work is well decorated with many of my friends. With limited space they were all crammed in and hard to see. For the longest time I wanted to create some tiered shelves to provide more space for my collection. 

I started out with a package of Club Scrap 10x12 Book Board. I had measured my space and sketched my idea before carefully measuring and cutting the Book board. Using my Club Scrap Bookbinding glue I carefully glued my book board together forming the shelves.

I cut one inch strips of the cream paper and used them to reinforce the joints.  This is a side view of the build.

To cover the side I used my Club Scrap 12x12 Mat board. I ALWAYS have a supply of Club Scrap book board and mat board on hand for times like this.

I then covered the shelf unit with the super cool Office Space papers.

I was so happy with how they turned out and couldn't wait to bring them to work!

My friends LOVE their new home! I LOVE how perfectly Club Scrap's Office Space coordinates with my office space!

Club Scrap Boardwalk Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Boardwalk Blog Hop. If you arrived here from blog you are in the right place. If you lost your way and would like to return to Club Scrap and start from the beginning go HERE.

I found this really cute waterfall folio on Pinterest and thought it would look super cute with this month's Boardwalk kit. After all the years of album making and bookbinding with Club Scrap the folio came together pretty quickly.

It is a perfect project for a brag book, Birthday album, Graduation album. Makes a great gift. The waterfall on the right side has space for over 20 pictures and the left side pocket can hold extra pictures, tags or memorabilia. You could even add a second waterfall on the left hand side to hold more pictures.

 

I decided I would  use this one to create a mini album of pictures from Catie's Sweet 16 last summer. She loves Ariel from the Little Mermaid so we had an "Under the Sea" theme party. The Boardwalk collection would work well. Check back later in the week for the decorated album.

Next stop on the hop is Tina Blog. Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to play along via the linky party over at Club Scrap for a chance to win a Club Scrap gift certificate.

Club Scrap June Artist Team Challenge

Welcome to the artist team challenge. If you arrived here from Tina's blog, you are in the right place. If you lost your way or want to return to Club Scrap go HERE.

Our challenge this month was to incorporate the Club Scrap Hypno papers into our projects. There are three different paper packs all with bold graphics on kraft text weight paper. This paper is perfect for all types of paper crafting.

I love the masculine feel of these papers and with Father's Day and numerous birthdays I decided to focus on cards. 

I used the Hypno paper for the background and then cut random circles from my stash of Club Scrap paper. I used the Happy Birthday and circle stamps from Boardwalk to decorate the orange circle.

Thanks for stopping by today.Your next stop on the hop is Roni's blog. You can pick up your own set of Hypno papers HERE and they are currently on sale so grab them quick because they won't last long!

Lovin' the Crabs!

I come from a long line of fishermen. My dad, uncles and brothers all love to fish. I grew up down on the Jersey Shore and every year we would go crabbing. We would spend the day out on the water in these small rental boats. We would catch crabs not only with traps but with lines. We would drop a line with fish on the end and patiently wait for a nibble, then slowly pull up the line so as not to knock the crab off. These are some of my favorite childhood memories of my father and brothers.
So naturally, I was beyond excited when I saw this month's Club Scrap Boardwalk kit with the crab stamps and adorable crab charms. I could not wait to play!

I got the idea for this card from Pinterest. I stamped  the tiny crab from the  Boardwalk Jumbo Unmounted Stamps in Club Scrap ruby ink and then carefully cut them out. I took a white panel and drew lines with a fine tip sharpie. I used Ranger black enamel to make the dots and added some red rhinestones from my stash. 

Isn't he just too cute. You can check out the whole Boardwalk Collection HERE.

Club Scrap June Card Sketch Challenge

This month's Club Scrap Boardwalk collection makes me so HAPPY! Everything about this kit screams summer. The cute retro bathing suits, the beach umbrella, ice cream and my personal favorite the adorable crabs.

I could not wait to start playing with this kit. I started out making this birthday card for the Club Scrap monthly Card Sketch Challenge.

Isn't that crab just the cutest?  He is just lovin' that ice cream. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of this little fella and his ice cream!

Club Scrap May Artist Team Challenge

Welcome to my little corner of the world. If you arrived here from Tina's blog you are in the right place. If you have lost your way you can return to Club Scrap HERE.

This month we were challenged to use metal or faux metal in our projects. I was inspired by this project I found on Pinterest. I wanted to make one as a gift card holder for my nephew's birthday. I new the creative license kit would be perfect for the project since my nephew loves cars.

Although the tutorial calls for craft paper to make the box, I decided to use the solid mustard color from the kit. I also made my own coin size envelopes with the other solid papers from the Creative Lincese kit.

I incorporated metal in a number of different ways. I used metal tape to decorate the license plate cut out, to create a tag with my nephews's initial and to embellish some of the envelopes.

I used metal cog wheel embellishments from Club Scrap to embellish an envelope.

I stamped the cute key stamp on the Club Scrap silver paper. I love how they look strung together.

I also used my faux patina papers from this month's Technique challenge to create tags and embellish my project.

Thanks for stopping by today. Your next stop is Roni over at Ink Stains.

Club Scrap Creative License Blog Hop

Welcome to the Creative License Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Julie's Blog you are in the right place. If you have lost your way, you can return to Club Scrap HERE and start from the beginning.

I was so excited for this month's Creative License kit. I was thrilled for a more masculine theme and color palette. My favorite has to be the license plate stamp that can be customized with the matching alphabet stamps. 

I made this layout for the the Sketch-n-Scrap challenge. It was only natural to use this kit for pictures of Catie passing her driving test. She just passed her road teat in April so this kit could not have come at a better time. I just love the cute little car and key charms included in the embellishment pack!

I also created a number of cards this month for different challenge blogs.

             This card is for the monthly Club Scrap May card sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are a great way to find inspiration and motivation. I think I will use this sketch ALOT. So many ways to change it up. Click the link above to see all the entries and come play along!

I created this Birthday card for the AAA CAS card challenge. They are celebrating their 2nd Birthday with a blog hop and lots of prizes!

This last card I created is for the CAS(E) this Sketch! #173.                                                                          

 

I just love the simplicity of this sketch. The Hello from the Creative License Greetings Unmounted stamps worked perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by today! Your next stop on the hop is Tina's Blog. You can check out all the Creative License goodness HERE.
