Week #35 Challenge, Part 1

This week some of our Designers struggled with the Challenge.  Some scrappers have a definite style in their scrapbooking, and tend to not stray too far away from it.  I love color, bright bold colors that say, "Look at me!"  Others have a more toned down style.  This week the Challenge was to do something Vintage. 

As always, this was up to their interpretation.  Vintage to some could be something from the 1700's or something from the 1960's.  I'm certainly feeling a bit vintage lately, so the 60's is right up my alley!  :)

Anyway, they did a great job, even if a few of them had to step WAY outside their box.  Take a look....

You can see the rest of the Design Team projects on Friday, have a nice week!

Hi

Hi.  LOL I couldn't think of anything more exciting to title this post. 

Today started off a bit overcast, but by early evening it was absolutely stunning.  I took Ridley for a walk to the beach and then to the harbor.  The cold weather is going to come soon enough, so I want to take in all of the sunshine that I can.  It sometimes makes me wonder why we left.  When the snow comes, I'll remember why!

The kids started school on Tuesday, and they all liked it.  When Shad and I went to school here, there were about 100 students from K-12, now it's down to 49.  K-6 are in one classroom, 7-8 in another, and 9-11 are together.  We have no senior class this year.  And this year they are starting a Standards based grading system, so they are doing the math class with the entire school.  That's 5 Haller's in one classroom at one time.  My goodness! 

When we got up, I gave the kids a choice...pictures here or at school.  HERE!!!!  that was the answer from all of them at the same time.  Did they think I might embarass them??  Not me :)

Logan looks a little irritated with me.  He's not a morning person.  When I wake him up he always tells me, "I just got to sleep!"

Nice Fake smile Logan.

My sweet girl.  She has a job now, so proud of her!

My good boy.  Such a great kid!

And the baby, he's growing up way too fast!

OK, on to the layouts that were sent in for our Orange Challenge.  The first one is sent in by Dale.

Great Job Dale!  And these two are from Cindy,

Great stuff Cindy, glad you finally stopped! And this card is from Renee.

Super cute!

Tomorrow's Challenge took a few of our Designer's outside of their comfort zone a bit.  Stop in to see why!

Thrifty Thursday with Tiffany!

When I signed up to do today's Thrifty Thursday, I had all these great plans, but you know, life sometimes gets in the way. 

Everyone around here has been doing their canning, preparing for the upcoming winter months.  I even canned some Salmon Berry Jam last week....so yummy!

Anyway, those canning jars got me thinking, they are good for so many things, so I thought that's what I would do today, share some uses for canning jars. 

This first one is from our Designer, Norazah.  She made this gorgeous altered jar, and filled it with some homemade goodies.

How pretty!

This Pin cushion was one of the first things I found on the internet, and I just loved it.  I have picked out the jar and fabric, it's the filling that I need to find.  Things like that aren't really available on a whim....prior planning is required on nearly everything.

I got these from Martha Stewart.  They are to keep treasures and keepsakes from a specific event or trip. 

I love these....and my kids and I have made them a few times, but usually just pumpkins.  I have some tiny ones made from baby food jars, perfect for tea lite candles.  Just some Mod Podge and tissue paper.

Don't they look great all lit up??

A Terrarium!  Great idea.

These are just photos dropped inside the jars, I think these were done for a display table for a retirement party.

And you can never have too many snow men at Christmas time!

These are cute, I love that blue painted one in the middle.

And you can't forget about the puppy!

This is not my ribbon storage, but this is how I store my ribbon.  I have about 17 jars all lined up with my ribbon and ric rac.  It's one of my favorite things in my studio.  Shad actually found the box in the trailer with my jars of ribbon, and brought them to me because he knows I enjoy looking at them.  He's a keeper, that guy.

Love this for a beach or sea themed bedroom, shells added to a jar and then made into a lamp.

 

OK, you know I had to add this just because it was pink.  Someone actually paints these and sells them.  I'm not sure what I will do with it, but I must have a few!

OK, I saved the best for last.   Are you ready for this?

Canned Cupcakes!

I know, right?  What will they think of next?  Basically, make the cupcakes in the pan, lots of spray Pam, and NO LINERS.  Don't fill the cupcakes as full as you normally would.  Add a cupcake, some frosting...then repeat!  Great gift for the ladies at the school, or the Teachers.  Yummo!

 

And of course we're all crafty...so we'd doll them up a bit.  Great gift idea!

So I hope you see those canning jars now and think...what can I do with that??  Also, I've done some fun things with cool food jars too.

Tuesday Tutorial with Jackie!!

In a bind? Try stitching!  You can add a little "something" to make those plain embellishment stand out a little more.

Super Easy, and adds so much!

Week #34 Challenge, Part 1

Do you have certain colors that you tend to use in your scrapbooking?  Are there some that you avoid?  Orange seems to be the color that I use the least, so that was what I had the DT use in the Challenge this week...The Color Orange.  Here is what they came up with, ( and check out the naked chipboard!)

Project 52 Week #33

   

I did something a little different this week.  Since we were doing Hybrid projects, I decided to share the Invitations that I had made for Taylor's Birthday a few weeks back. 

I have not found the cord to my giant printer yet, so I have been using my new mini printer.  I picked a few different pictures that I had taken of Taylor since we got here, and used those for the base of the invitation.  Then I added the text using one of the fun little add ons that the printer comes with. 

I let Taylor pick her favorite, but she ended up liking all of them, so I just printed out several of each picture.  The invitations had the same feel as the party, very casual.

Those count as cards...right??  LOL

Have a great weekend!

They say it's your Birthday.....

Happy Birthday to the BEST FRIEND EVER!!

I miss you so much!!

Go show her some Birthday love!

Love you Cindy!

Thrifty Thursday with Norazah!

What you can get from boxes....

Ever since I was involved in scrapbooking..i do love to keep junks …that includes coupon, cute price tag,wrapping paper or ribbon from any packaging… n boxes included too, be it new, old or even used.

My husband is a toy collector.He always ordered his stuff from japan..even if the toy is small they normally shipped using big boxes . As for me, I also ordered my scrapbook items online and of course it came in a box …. So  with these boxes …I normally use it  to make a base for  doll house, mini album, hanging frame, accordion album and many more..

I still have a few more in my store

Cut it  into any shape you like

ready to decorate with patterned paper n embellishment

Accordian album or can be photo displayed

Mini album

a few  pages did not fully covered with patterned paper. I purposely want the box texture/color to be shown.

It’s an alternative from using a chipboard as your base or album…and it’s free… So, don't throw away your empty boxes, recyle them. Hey its good for the environment + u'll be able to save some cash on ur scrapbooking!

This Blog has been Hijacked by....

Rebecca!!

Hi Everyone! Rebecca here, hijacking the ScrapTiffany blog for the day. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you all to a company I only discovered by becoming a member of their Design Team—Just Imagine Crafts. Just Imagine Crafts is the exclusive US seller for Kreaxions punches and cutters. Kreaxions produces lots of beautiful and intricate punches. Their punches are 4-1 punches which can change from corner punches to border punches depending on what type of guide you use. But today, I want to talk to you about the Kreaxions Circle Cutter. I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried just about every circle cutter on the market. They never work the way they say they are supposed to and so I finally got rid of my collection and resorted to using dinner or salad plates as guides. So believe me when I tell you this Circle Cutter is the best! First I want to give you an idea of the size of the cutter:

Seriously! It fits in the palm of my hand. It closes up flat and tucks the cutter under plastic so I just stick it in my pencil holder.

Next I want to show you the range of circles you can cut. You simply loosen the screw and slide the pointer along the ruler to determine the diameter in inches you want to cut. For this first circle I chose the largest possible (10 inches).

I then moved the pointer to a bit over an inch:

And cut a smaller circle within the larger circle:

And that is it! It is just that easy. Now how about a few projects I made using the cutter? Here is one with the large 10” circle”

And here is one with smaller circles of varying sizes:

So, if you are like me and tired of hauling your dishes up to scrap space and you are in the marker for a circle cutter, I highly recommend the Kreaxions cutter, which you can buy from the Just Imagine Crafts online store. Happy circle cutting!!

Tuesday Tutorial with April!!

Happy Tuesday!

 

Today I am showing you how to make these cute pom pom flowers.

You will need these supplies:

Scissors

Fringe Scissors (if you have them, if not, you can use regular scissors and make a few more cuts)

Stapler (the Tiny Attacher works well)

Thin paper (some great things to use are sewing patterns, tissue paper, book pages, esp. dictionary pages, phone book pages, newspaper, ads, wrapping paper)

This project is a great way to recycle gift wrap and junk mail!

 

Begin with a rectangle of your paper.  For this flower, I used a 10 inch x 6 inch piece of sewing pattern, but experiment with different sizes to make different sizes of flowers.

Fold the paper in half,  length wise, then in half again.  The thinner your paper, the more times you fold it, the thicker your paper, the fewer times you fold it.

Cut along the folded edge (not the open edge) with your fringe scissors (or regular scissors).

Once you have a full strip of fringe, roll your strip up from one end straight to the other to form your flower.

Secure the flower on the bottom with staples.

You can experiment with using inks, Glimmer Mist, amd paint on your finished flowers.  Or, stamp and/or emboss on your tissue paper before you start to form your flower.

 

Here's some of these flowers used on a LO:

Have Fun!

Week #33 Challenge, Part 1

Over the years scrapbookers have used their computers to help with their scrapbooking creations.  We download fonts, type our journaling, print transparencies, and even create complete digital layouts.  Many might think that digital and paper scrapbooking can't mix, but it can!  The unique term for this kind of scrapbooking is called Hybrid Scrapbooking--combining traditional and digital elements on a scrapbooking page.  If you view your computer as a scrapbooking tool, the possibilities are endless. That was the Challenge that I put to the Design Team this week.  Some used Digi Papers or stamps, downloaded images or some altered their photographs.  There is so much that you can do!  Here is what they did....

Wow, lots of great ideas there!  I think many would list their computer & printer as their most valuable scrapbooking tools.  Great job ladies!

Another weekend comes to a close

I never thought I could be so busy!  Work is going great, it's nice having a job that actually makes a difference in children's lives.  We may not be able to adopt for a few years, but at least I'm doing some good now.

The potluck was fun, a lot of people showed up, and we had some amazing food!  I got to see a few more people from High School, that's always fun.  When I got home, I didn't feel good for quite some time.  I've been sick a few times since we've been here, and I never GET SICK!  My Mother In Law says it's all those toxins from Taco Bell and McDonalds leaving my body.  It could be, but dang have I been craving some Taco Bell!  I think I have mastered making a green burrito.  It tastes just like the real thing.  When the nearest one is a boat or plane ride, and a two hour drive, you kinda learn to make do.  I have ordered all the kids school clothes online, thank heaven for FREE SHIPPING!  ( side note...about shipping, I went to order the Pink Rain Boots that I have been wanting.  The boots are $39, so how much to ship a pair of boots up here?  OMG...$77!!!  I pretty much told them what they could do with their $77!  OK, not really, but I wanted too!) 

So I found this web site, Endless.com, my new favorite place to order shoes from.  The shipping is either next day or 2 day, and always free!  I ordered Logan's shoes on Tuesday, and they were here on Friday.  Now, you have to understand, we have no UPS delivery here.  When you have something sent UPS, it gets flown over on a plane, (3-5 seater) and dropped off at a tiny building at the airstrip.  

If you are lucky, they will call you and tell you that you have a package to pick up.  But, if you are having Senior Moments like me, you give them the wrong phone number, and a friend that sees your box there, calls you to let you know it's there.  Sheeesh!

So I thought I was done with all the shopping, then I see that all 3 of them need gym shoes.  These shoes can only be worn in the gym, so obviously....more new shoes needed to be ordered.  I thought I'd make good use of the shoe ordering, I ordered Taylor her Volleyball shoes, and Chance his Basketball shoes.  I've never been on the internet so much....ever!  I definitely have a lot to learn about shopping/living here.  It was a lot different when I was a teenager.  A gallon of milk would last me 2 weeks, now...yeah, not so much!  I'm learning though....

I have one super cute layout to share with you today.  This was sent in for Rebecca's Sketch from last week.  This is from Lynn Dutton.

I LOVE what she did with the lace.  I know an upcoming challenge that would be perfect for that technique!  Thanks so much for sharing with us Lynn.

Have a nice Sunday :)

Project 52 Week #32

I'm finally working on some upcoming classes, and of all things...cards!  Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't make cards, and I have NEVER taught a card class, so this is me going outside my box  :)

I'm not sure why I decided to start with Halloween cards, maybe because of the large surplus of Halloween paper that I currently have.  Anyway, these are my two cards that I made this week.

 

I can't wait til Halloween!  I think I picked out my costume today, I'll share that with you later.

 

I'm off to a Potluck at the Beach today, if we get rained out we have an alternate location planned.  This is the Summer Finale for all the activities, camps and hikes that the kids did this summer.  I made Certificates and Awards for the kids...hope they like them!  I hope to actually post on the other blog tomorrow, but don't hold me to that!!

Have a great weekend.

Thrifty Thursday with Katie!

What is a girl to do when her favorite summer sweater gets a pull in the sleeve?

 

Get thrifty!  

The color of this sweater is one of my favorites, it goes with everything.  I decided that I could save the sweater by making the sleeves shorter (well, I’ll ask my Mom to put the finishing touches on the sleeves). 

I cut the sleeves off and used the scraps for some crafty projects.

I cut off a strip of the sweater scraps and folded it over then sewed it on the patterned paper to make the sweater ruffle on this card.

I made a yo-yo flower out of another strip of scrap sweater, then cut it, and burned the edges to make the flower pin for my new short sleeved-sweater. The button and bling circle were just finishing touches.

I couldn’t help but use Summer’s Scrap Tiffany Tuesday Tutorial from this week!  I covered a button with some more sweater scrap and Helmar’s glue.  I blinged up the felt butterfly and attached it to the dressed up button hair elastic.  My daughter has already claimed this little gem as her own!  

I hope you enjoyed this little look into my thrifty ways.  I have found a few more ideas on what do do with recycled sweaters.  I might just have to share them later on!  If you have done any projects with recycled sweaters please be sure to share them with us by emailing the photos to tiffany@scraptiffany.com.

Tuesday Tutorial with Summer!!

My tutorial today is quite simple because that’s what I do: SIMPLE! I just want to get you thinking about different ways you can use the gorgeous embellishments we all have in our stash.

Ever looked at an embellishment and think, “That would make a cute ponytail?” I have! For most of my life, I had really long hair that I almost always wore pulled back in the cutest ponytails and clips I could find. My favorite one was a cameo ponytail that has been missing for years. So when I saw Webster’s Pages Silhouettes,

I had to get them for my crafting and for a ponytail!!

I started with a large, flat button and tied it to a ponytail. (I think most people call them hair elastics.) Use strong thread. I used a few strands of embroidery floss and looped through the button several times tying it off a few times along the way.

If you use a cute button, your ponytail could be done now.

The next step is to attach the cameo (or any other embellishment) to the button. I recommend glue dots. This cameo came with some gooey stuff that kept it in place in the packaging, so I just used that. Viola… DONE!

For another look loop several scrap pieces of ribbon around the ponytail.

You can also combine both of these techniques into one. Start with attaching the button and embellishment then add the ribbon.

What other ponytail possibilities can you come up with? Maybe a few cute buttons on one ponytail with no embellishments on top? Maybe tie the ribbon on in a different way? The possibilities are endless. If you try this tutorial out, put a link to your ponytails in the comments section or send photos to Tiffany@ScrapTiffany.com. We always love to see what you create!

Week #32 Challenge, Part 1

This week's challenge took the Designers a little outside their comfort zone, and really "Challenged" them.  I give them their challenges 3 months ahead, and this one was listed as "Naked Chipboard."  My original intent was to use the plain ol' chipboard that we all have tons of, and use it plain, cuz we never really do that.  The only explanation that I give the Designers is, here's your Challenge, you can interpret it however you like.  Some took this as using naked chipboard, and embellishing it, other just went Naked! 

The whole idea is to inspire you to use your chipboard in a way that perhaps you hadn't thought of before.

I hope we did...

Project 52 Week #31

I know...I know...late post!  My excuse, I work very late on Friday night doing Teen Night with the kids, and I'm a bit tired when I come home.  Last night I was also having problems with my camera, I think it was operator error!  Anyway, last week everyone loved the Tri Shutter Card that Azilah did, so I Googled the directions and found an awesome Tutorial Here.  She has great diagrams and exact measurements, so here is my card for the week.

Sorry for the bad pictures, I was rushing to work, and this was for one of my coworkers, so I had to take pictures before I ran out the door!  She really loved it, wanted to know where I bought it! 

Today is Taylor's Beach Bash Birthday, and it's a little ugly outside.  But the tables are covered and the kids here are waterproof, so no worries!  I'm off to wrap presents and make Macaroni Salad.

Have a SUPER weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend!  We will be celebrating Taylor's 15th Birthday at the beach tomorrow.  Hoping for sunshine!

 

Thrifty Thursday with Becca!

Hey everyone! I have a fun, quick and easy thrifty trick to show you today.

Do you all have any of those calendar style magnets on your fridge? Here is a picture of one I pulled off my fridge recently. Notice the year! LOL.

So I chopped up a small strip, and cut those into little magnet pieces.

Then I worked my stash magic to make these little cuties!

Aren't they fun? Cute tiny magnets!! Here I actually attached them to the side of my van to take the picture, but you could put them up anywhere. What about some cute, funky ones for the teens in your life for back to school?? They could put some on their lockers! I used up some misc. flowers, chipboard and random letters to make mine.

Cute right?? Just a side note, the smaller you cut your magnet, the less magnetic power you have, so these smaller ones are for decoration more than function. You could also use those thick bar magnets that you find on the backs of your magnetic grocery lists and such. They would be a bit stronger.

So then, I thought, what about a fun big pretty magnet! Maybe something for a friend perhaps???

Here is the back, I just cut the leftover from my big calendar magnet in half, and decorated it with some journal tags and felt and stickers.

Thrift is all about thinking beyond the 'expected' use of something I think. I really love to use up all those random scrap bits that get leftover from projects and this is a great way to do that. Here are a few theme ideas for your new crafty magnets:

new moms - baby themed magnet (maybe use the photo from an announcement)
newlyweds - use parts of their wedding invitation or engagement photos
teachers gifts
kids chores - print some pictures of chores, attach to a magnet, and keep on fridge for the kids
dinner menu - make some magnets that feature whats on the menu

Mostly, have fun and be thrifty!!

Laurel!!

Hi everyone this is Laurel and I have Hijacked the blog today.  I found this super easy and cute project on how to make pendant necklaces from hardware store washers and just had to share!

 

First you need a few supplies.  Some people use Modge Paper to adhere the paper, I used my Xyron.   I got the washers in a pack of 4 for around $4, the paper is scrap paper and the ribbon is organza.  You could use cording as well.

Next, using whatever method is easiest for you adhere the paper to the washer, trim and sand edges to clean them up.  To make them look more like glass pendants apply some Crystal Effects or something similar.  I used Close to My Hearts Liquid Glass.  Apply enough to cover the front and take care not to get any air bubbles.  I also added a few beads to one of mine just for a bit more effect.  When dry attach cord or ribbon and you are done!  Easy Peesy and so inexpensive!  Perfect for teens.

For a complete tutorial check out this blog and be sure to leave some love!

Have a great week, don't forget to come back on Friday to see what the rest of the DT did!

 

Weekend's Half Over....

Can we try to get an additional day added to the week?  That would really help me out.  Maybe work 5, then a 3 day weekend?  Time seems to be in shorter supply these days.

We had intended to go watch the band tonight, but we got a bit side tracked getting some more of our stuff out of the trailer.  I had to empty two of my cabinets, so those scrap goodies got to come inside...woohooo!  It just happened to be all of my paper, and all of my ribbon jars.  I thought I packed enough stuff to keep me busy, but it seems every time I go to start something, I'm missing something else.  Now I'm a little better equipped, but still low on time.  I just need to better manage my time, I'll try to work on that.

This week we had 4 people send us their layouts.  The first is from my Best Friend (that I miss more than she will ever know) Cindy.

   

And this one is from our Friend Renee.

This one is from a New Friend, Melissa.

 

And both of these projects are from another New Friend of ours, Azilah.

Absolutely fabulous projects ladies!  Thank you so much for sharing them with us.  I hope this will encourage everyone to use more Black & White photos in their crafting. 

Stop back in tomorrow for the new challenge.  It will be based on a sketch from our very own, Rebecca!
