Birthday Treat topper

This was for my son's friend's birthday.  The fancy edge is one of the Tim Holtz border dies.  I used the Cuttlebug dominoes embossing folder and the die/emboss stamps came with my Cuttlebug and are mounted with dimensionals.  It's the first time I broke them out and, gosh, are they cute!  Colors are cranberry from Recollections, Only Orange, Brilliant Blue, and Whisper White from Stampin Up.  The baker's twine I got on a huge spool from TJ Maxx for $3.  Thanks for looking!  April

Better Me SMASH

Yea, so I have been trying to not so much loose weight, but improve my overall health.  I am thankful that I don't have any major health issues but know as I get older it will happen.  We picked up a Y membership for our kids swim lessons and it took me months to realize that I could take classes while the kids were at school. 
I found these great images of yoga positions, the tai chi short form, and the Y emblem.  I used a SMASH pocket to hold my enrollment slips, adding a cute stamp from Studio G.  I also used the SMASH labeller to add a couple of silly comments (on the little post-it notes) and part of the title.  The red letters are clear stickers I had in my sticker drawer.  I also added a little journalling.  Thanks for looking!  April

Grunge Rock Birthday

This is a card for a child's birthday.  I used red cardstock as a base, stamping Extreme Elements stamps in Blazing Red Staz-On and Platnum Planet Brilliance Pigment inks.  Next is layers of scrap black and white cardstocks.  I stamped the sentiment from Grunge Rock in Jet Black Staz-On, then the guitar on scrap paper before cutting it out.  The guitar is mounted on dimensionals with a bit of scrap red baker's twine bow for decoration.  Last, is a gold wax seal to finish the look.  Thanks for looking!  April

Read 2013 SMASH

Here is my new list of read books this year.  I decided to use mini post-it notes to write the names on.  I also have a place to slide the library slips I get from checking out books.  (Most are ebooks now!)  I added a pocket I found in my stash, some alpha stickers for the title, a chipboard number, a SMASH tab and extra post-its in the corner.  I am looking for some cool book covers to add during the year as well.  Thanks for looking!  April

Orange SMASH book cover

This is my orange SMASH folio cover.  I used some black paper with Whisper White craft and white embossing powder to stamp the sentiment I found on clearance at Michael's.  I used a rag to smear some ink on the black paper to look more like a chalkboard.  I used the ticket corner punch from SU to clip the corners.  The bingo card is from Rebecca at Uprintables.  The flag stickers are from Recollections.  I used a SMASH tab for the "I want" and SMASH tape.  The polariod photo frame is from Recollections.  Thanks for looking!  April
