PSA Essentials and Momenta Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Today Momenta has teamed up with PSA Essentials for a fun little blog hop. If you're already hopping, you should have arrived from Regina Mangum's blog . If you haven't started the hop and would like to,  you should begin here.  There are 2 great prizes up for grabs if you leave a comment on each blog along the way.
PSA Essentials is giving away 2 Peel & Stick stamp sets & 1 PSA Stamper ( estimated retail value 55$). Momenta will be giving away a set of vacation themed goodies pictured below (estimated retail value 35$)

So what do you get when you pair super easy to PSA stamps with fun Momenta products? An Easter layout it seems!

I mixed papers from Let's Party 12x12 Cardstock  Paper Pad (PA-2370) and Kaleidoscope Pyramid Paper Pad (PA-2383), backed with cream cardstock and trimmed in black, both from Black and White 12x12 Cardstock Pad ( PA-2390). PSA Essentials Stamps featured are from PSA-Country Home, and PSA- Topiary. The little sheep was fun to stamp repeatedly thanks to the spring loaded stamp body, and changing the stamps out was really easy!

Other Momenta Product used:
RO-1854 Bunnies 4x8 Rub-Ons
PK-2147 12x12 Scrapbook Pad
ST-2037  Green Apple Puffy Glitter Stickers
ST-5160 Puffy Border Stickers-Let's Party

It's about time!!

Really, really time for a new post don't you think? I've been busy creating loads of pages, store samples, Design team projects and things that I can't post just yet. Where to begin...A few fun projects for Momenta...

 

These are my boxes from Starbucks- the best part was eating the Salted Chocolate Caramel Squares that were once inside them!

 

 Here they are spiffied up with some fun papers and stickers from the Born to be Wild Premium Scrapbook Kit (PA-1024)and the Chipboard Icon Stickers (ST-3006) and letters (EM-1357) were the perfect match

 

Next I made this quick gift topper for a very special birthday girl!

I loved working with the delicious colours of twine, paired with my favorite bold and bright collections from Momenta!

 I strung my embellishments on a tri-colour hanging banner on this all boy page, using elements from the Captain Jack 8x8 Album Kit. I also wrapped the crimped alphas with a bit of twine to tie them in.

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Distress Stain
Momenta:
gems, patterned paper, chipboard, stickers and letters:

Something about the twine just begs to be used in a banner, so I strung up some Mini Puffy dots and butterflies on this birthday card.

The Twinery twine : Lemondrop, Pink Sorbet
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper

Masking tutorial

I'm up today on the Momenta Blog, using a Design Your Own Sticker as a mask. There's a full tutorial posted on how to create the look of this page, as well as product information.

Why is it the birthday layouts always get so many photos?

Thanks for visiting!

Something Fishy!

Today is my turn again posting a project for the Momenta blog.  I decided to alter another bit of toy packaging, this time a wooden box from a package of Melissa and Doug dinosaur magnets. We love Melissa and Doug toys, but the fact that the boxes don't have lids, makes no sense to me, and it seems like such a waste to throw them out.

Now Parker has an aquarium for his room, and there's no water to worry about !

Materials:
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists
One Fine Day  5"x7" Cardstock Pad (PA-2337).
One Fine Day Puffy Flourishes ( ST-4147)
Beach Fun Layered Puffy Stickers ( ST-2114).
Pure Bubbles and Bling Stickers ( ST-1740)
Buttons- lots of em!
acrylic sheet
Diamond Glaze, Glue Dots, StixII foam squares

In case you missed it, the last packaging I altered was this:

Happy Tuesday!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

...time to start the Christmas crafts! I would usually wait until at least the 1st of December to break out anything Christmas related ( maybe that's why I'm always so rushed by the 25th!).  We are starting our Christmas Holiday Schedule over at Practical Scrappers, and today we're all about Christmas cards.
Here's my contribution, made with an absolutely adorable Digital Stamp from La La Land Crafts. I did a combination of Copic coloring, and paper piecing using The Great Outdoors Collection from Momenta.

I added a bit of Tim Holtz Distress Ink in the new Seasonal colours of Evergreen Bough, and Iced Spruce (YUM), a sentiment stamp from Studio G, chipboard snowflakes from American Crafts, mini pompoms from the Dollarama, all on a 6 x 6 card base made from Bazzill cardstock.

Quirky

My little man has a cute little quirk of sticking out his tongue to the side. It lasted about a week or so, and I think it was teething related, but oh how cute! I'm sure I'll be doing a page devoted to the quirk, but I captured it in one of these bath photos I used on a page for Momenta.

Who could resist all those little ducks? Definitely not me!

Parkerisms

I've been collecting Ethanisms and Parkerisms for some time now. Those cute little things my boys say as they are gaining new vocabulary, mispronouncing words and just being plain cute. I'll post them on Facebook as daily status updates, jot them into my notes on my phone, record them as a voice memo, or grab a nearby notebook. I  don't manage to get them all written down, as live is crazy with 3 boys. but the ones I do are worth so much to me.

 

This layout I did using Momenta papers and embellishments, and you can see all the details on the Momenta blog. 

My favorite parts are the orange elephant ( a perfect specimen for my son who loves both the colour orange and elephants) and the Fancy Pants felt borders with the tickets tucked into them.

TA-DA!

To this:

It's been awhile since I've tackled an altered project, and this box has been hanging around forever waiting to be re-purposed. All it took was some fun papers and stickers from Momenta to inspire a cute set for Rowan's room. 

I am so planning on making a matching lampshade too.
