Hairy Lil Monkey

Click HERE for the ScrapbookSteals June Blog Hop!!! 

Hey everyone!! Did you see the newest Peachy Keen stamps?? Awesome, as always!! There are a couple new face assortment sets that I NEED to get my hands on!! Today I had my two older girls in my craft room with me long enough to put together a fun little layout using the Summer Days Collection by Echo Park - my FAV - for one of the PK release challenges!!!

I had some American Crafts Thickers left from the ScrapbookSteals hop (going on right now - HERE) and I wanted to use some of my brown flock that has been collecting dust. The brown hairy letters screamed 'MONKEY' to me! :) I used this cute little monkey graphic from Pixel Paper Prints a couple days ago on THIS card and I loved her so much I wanted to use her again!! I love how the PK teddy faces look on her!! 

Of course I used some dies from My Creative Time... I have never been a die person until lately!! I am sooo in love with Emma's dies and I used them on almost every project! I LOVE when I get my money's worth out of craft supplies!! 

Here is what I used to create my layout..

- Peachy Keen Teddy Bear Face Assortment

- Echo Park Summer Days collection

- My Creative Time doily and scalloped circle die

- American Crafts DIY Thickers

- brown Martha Stewart flock

- dollarstore rhinestones

Hope you liked my layout!! I am hoping to get in a project for the other Peachy Keen release challenge going on right now, too! :) 

ScrapbookSteals Blog Hop!!

Hey there!! If you are here from Teresa's blog, then you are in the right place!! If you just stumbled upon this hop, make sure you head back to the beginning - ScrapbookSteals BLOG - to make sure you don't miss any of the awesome projects!!

The products we got to play with - American Crafts DIY Thickers - for this hop are soooo much fun!! The possibilities are endless!! I actually wanted to make a few more projects for this hop, but ran outta time!! I had so many ideas!!

My first project is a layout using family pics from this fall when our baby, Taylah, was born...

Just in case someone out there has never seen, or heard of, DIY Thickers before... They are adhesive on both sides so you can totally customize them!! I used Martha Stewart glitter on the letters in this layout, but you can use flock, coarse glitter, flowersoft... the list goes on! :) 

Here is a little tip for using the letters.... They come in a long sheet, and I like to lay out my projects to see how everything will fit, so I cut each letter out so that I could easily figure out the best spot for them on my layout. Once I knew where they should go, I just peeled the backs off and stuck them to the paper. 

Here is what I used to make my layout...

- American Crafts DIY Thickers

- Recollections Fabulous Girl stack

- My Creative Time We Are Family stamp set and doily and button dies

- Pink By Design Bracketful stamp set

I also made a quick card...

These Thickers are material chipboard letters and sooo fun!! I sprayed them with dark blue Ditto glimmer spray and they turned out really neat! They look like blue jean letters. I forgot to take a pic, but the inside of the card reads,"Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad". 

For this card I used the following supplies...

- American Crafts DIY Thickers

- Ditto Glimmer spray

- file from the Silhouette store

- Pink By Design Our Fathers stamp set
