Anything Goes w/The Kraft Journal {Exciting News}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!

I have super exciting news as well as a "step outside my comfort zone " project to share today!

Ready for the exciting news...........

I am a new DT member over at The Kraft Journal!!

You all know how much I love my kraft and I try VERY hard each and every week to enter their challenges, because they are awesome you know....and

~for the most part I think I have entered them all this year so far~

LOL!

So now I am on the other side and get to share more Kraft~y projects with you all!!

I sure hope you will check out their challenges on The Kraft Journal Blog, become a follower so you don't miss out on all the creative inspiration and tutorials AND check out The Kraft Outlet where you can purchase all these products at such a GREAT price.

This leads me to my first project for the new challenge which is:

Anything Goes

I wanted to try something new, I have made mini notebooks before but never with a vintage-y feel so I hope you like what I have created...

Here is my mini journal that I picked up from The Kraft Outlet,

I used the small, Natural Crinkle Journal and then went about embellishing it.

You know I love my sewing machine, so I of course had to use it on my designer paper.

I found this cling butterfly stamp in my stash and thought it would add some extra texture along with some SU bling

Here is a close-up of the sentiment I used....it is one of this month's new releases from 

The Alley Way Stamps~ Life is Short

So what do you think??? I hope you like my first DT project for The Kraft Journal and will check out what the rest of the DT has created HERE.

I would love to see you play along with this challenge as well :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!!

Entering this into the following challenges

Simon Says Stamp Challenge~Anything Goes

Happy Birthday Adam...Pokemon Style :)

Today is Adam's Birthday. He is now 6 and he is the son of my closest friend.

For his birthday he wanted a Pokemon Notebook to write all his secrets, battle plans and everyday 6 year old things in.

After searching the web for Pokemon SVG files I came across Mardenz blog. There are GREAT files and she did have a few Pokemon ones.

 So I made him his own special notebook and matching gift bag.

This is the first time I have decorated a gift bag and I really love the way it came out!

Anyways the notebook is a composition book covered in black cardstock. I cut each of the four pokemon through SCAL as well as his name.

The book was missing something when my son told me that each of the characters stood for something....that is how the fire, water, electric and earth came to be. They are stickers and added the perfect finish to the book.

That is all I have for tonight..for some reason I am really tired and completely unmotivated to do much of anything. Have a great night and see you all tomorrow :)
