Good morning my friends! Can I just say, I am so ready for summer and beaches! We have a while to go before that is here in AK, but we are having a lovely start to spring. The snow is even melting rather quickly. It's almost all melted out of our front yard. Which is super exciting.
I am here to share a card using a spectacular new set from Scrappy Boy Stamps! THE THREE LITTLE PIGS!! I freaking love this set!! I'll calm down...I feel like I'm yelling at you here. Lol
When I first saw this stamp set I thought hey! I can make a beach-themed card out of this. Then I saw the Fairytale Castle Mini Album Die Set and knew it had to be done. That die makes the most beautiful sandcastle!
I was feeling lazy the day I made this and didn't want to color an entire scene. I went searching through my Scrappy Boy Papers and found the mermaid scales in the Pirates 6x6 Paper Pack. I thought that would make the perfect water if I flipped the scales upside down. Now it looks like tiny little waves or bumps in the water.
Good morning crafty friends!! Tomorrow is March. March has me thinking of Spring and St. Patrick's Day. Oh, how I am longing for Spring and warmer weather. Don't get me wrong, I love winter and all it has to offer, but my Fibromyalgia has been acting up something fierce. Which has me ready for warmer temps.
There is also a Lucky Owen. They would make a super cute card together.
I will be doing a live tutorial today on this card and image on my Toadally Love to Craft Facebook page. Come and hang out with me! 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.
Lucky Emma will be 50% off until tonight at midnight. Grab her while she is on sale and get a head start on your St. Patty's Day cards!
All the dies used are from La-La Land Crafts. The sentiment is also. It's from the Best of Cluck Clear Stamp Set. I simply inked the stamp and then took a baby wipe and cleaned the ink off of the C. Tada! I had the perfect St. Patty's Day sentiment.
Marci's dress is a little short for my liking, so I decided to put her in leggings instead of stockings. I feel much better about the outfit now.

Hi everyone! We are 12 days into January. We are gaining more daylight every day here in Alaska. I am always so thankful for that! Before long, we will be having more daylight hours than dark hours.
For the December tutorial that I did for Club, I made a little box. It was the perfect size for the business cards that I bought my daughter for Christmas. I had intended to use Marci on the box, but she was much too big. The adorable kitten was just the perfect size.
If you are a Club Kit member, don't forget to look at the tutorials that the design team has done for you. There are some really great projects!
If you are not a Club Kit member, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??! I mean look at everything that comes with it!

The second project is a 5 1/2 inch x 5 1/2 inch card. This card size is my favorite!
I used the Wishing You Happiness Background Stamp for the design on the basket. I love how it turned out! I'm thinking I need a basket like this for myself.

Good afternoon friends! Only 10 more days until Christmas!! Do you know what you should give to yourself?!! A subscription to the La-La Land Crafts Club Kit!! It's only $39.99 a month (plus shipping) and it's something you can look forward to every single month! Let's face it, we all need a little happy mail.
With that being said...today is the reveal of the December 2020 Club Kit! It's all about knitting and crocheting. Oh! And kitties!! Who doesn't love kitties?
I love these kittens! So of course I chose to create with them for my first two club projects.
These cuties are a bunch of trouble makers...getting into the yarn. I'm glad they are just stamps because if I was knitting they'd be driving me bonkers!
As some of you already know, we foster kittens for our local no-kill animal shelter. Our shelter has the most loving employees and fosters. I know the animals there get the best care.
Having kittens is a lot like having a baby. They get into everything. They demand your attention. They eat, poop, and sleep a lot. They love to snuggle!
Ok, enough about that... let's get back to the cards!
I started out by grabbing the paper. I almost never do that. I usually color and then choose my papers. I like to live on the dangerous side.
Since the paper has gold accents, I went with a yellowish/gold yarn color. I wanted my kitten to have a lot of contrast from the yarn so black it was. He turned out looking a lot like our current foster kitten, Lucy.

Siamese kittens!! Siamese kittens are often favored by a lot of people. Which is why my next card has two of them. You can watch me color one of them on my Club Reveal video HERE.
It took a lot of time to color all of these balls of yarn by hand, but I love the dimension and contrast you achieve by doing this.
You've heard me say it before and you'll hear me say it again, it's the little details that make your card stand out. Details like hand-colored die cuts.

The texture in Marci's coat is created by using colorless blending solution. I put it on a towel and then put the towel on her jacket. You can create all sorts of different textures by using colorless blender.

Hello! Happy Friday. I am hopping right back into crafting. It's been a busy week getting all these projects. I am enjoying the time in my craft room.
Today I am sharing a card for La-La Land Crafts Team Friday. Our theme this week is Critter Fun. La-La Land Crafts has LOTS of critters. The newest of which is a monkey! If you missed the monkey's debut, you can see him in my last blog post HERE.
I have had Baker Luka colored and sitting on my craft table since he was released a few months ago. I knew exactly what I was going to do with him. I just needed the time and energy to make the card.
I cut the Electric Mixer out using the Spring Has Sprung Paper Pack. The colors were not the right ones for this card so I colored over the patterned paper with Copic Markers. You can still see the pattern, which I love.

Hi friends! It's been a while...I took a little break and got some much-needed rest. I am SUPER excited to be back just in time for the La-La Land Crafts July 2020 Club Kit Reveal.
This month we have a Safari theme!! AND MONKEYS!!
I am in love with the border dies in this kit! The backgrounds you can create with them are amazing! And this Jeep! How cute is that?!
As a La-La Land Crafts Club Kit member, you receive at tutorial each month from every Club Design Team Member. That means 8 tutorials for 8 different projects! Some are written tutorials and some are video tutorials. It all depends on what the Design Team member decides to do.
This month, my tutorial is a written tutorial. It is done this Safari Marci card and tag.
I had to make a card full of monkeys. I stamped 5 of them and colored them with Copic Markers. I think I like the brown monkeys better than I do the black ones.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this card. Actually, even though I really love this kit I was thinking it was going to be hard for me to put cute cards together. I was pleasantly surprised! These cards were super easy. They came together in no time at all.
Looking back at some of my work, you can really tell when I am not feeling inspired or having a hard time coming up with an idea. Are any of you like that? Can you see it in your work?

Good morning! How are you this fantastic Monday morning?!? Today is the start of a very busy week for the Goodwin's. Our oldest daughter is graduating from high school Thursday. A YEAR EARLY! I am so very proud of this girl. She is so determined. Her plan is to join the military. As a Mom, that makes me super proud, and if I am being honest, it scares the crap out of me. I am trying to focus on the proud more than the fear.
Here we go! Today's craft is an ATC. It has been a LONG time since I have made one of these baby's. When an ATC Swap was posted in the Reneabouquets Artist with an Edge Facebook group, I decided I should join.
I tore a page out of an old book and adhered it to a piece of chip board. Then I used distress inks to color the paper.
To color and texture the keys and gears, I used Prima's Rust Effect Paste. I used a combination of the Gold, Red and Brown Rust colors. These pastes give such incredible texture!
Before I colored the background paper, I had picked out this gorgeous butterfly. It fit perfectly with the distress inks and the brownish rust gears.
I had a lot of fun making this! Steampunk is one of my favorite styles.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret...in the future...I will be hosting a Steampunk Mood Board Challenge in the Reneabouquets Artist with an Edge Facebook group. 😄
Here's a list of Reneabouquets items that I used....
