Happy Birthday BabySteals! | Monday Craft Madness #23

Melodee Altering, craft, Monday Craft Madness Comments

We all love a party and this week at STEALS.com we are having a doozie.  To celebrate BabySteals 5th birthday, we used Graphic 45′s Little Darlings Collection to help start the festivities.  Our Monday Craft Madness Theme this week is:

Babies!

Create something either with a baby theme, for a baby, or a layout with a photo of when you were a baby.

Now when having a birthday celebration we need to start with invitations and decorations.  Check out the decorations the party!

I created a banner to celebrate this awesome milestone.  I can’t believe BabySteals is already 5 years old!

The invitations to the party are simple, but with a little added extra.  Don’t be afraid to have each of your hand made invitations a little different.  This way you can use up your stickers and embellishments and save a little money at the same time.

My favorite item is the party favors.  While crafting, I asked my daughter (who doesn’t scrapbook ) to help she kept coming up with crazy ideas.  ”How about we just put all of these things in a pile and tie a bow around it all” was her best advice.  Well while she was playing with the Fancy Pants Chipboard Banner, we came up with creating some party favor holders.  I am kind of in love.

My Mind’s Eye Boxed Cards

Melodee Card, Friday Project, Mini Album Comments

My Mind’s Eye Boxed Cards are the perfect product to have around for those quick note writing times.  They can be so much more! The versatility of these cards make your possibilities endless.  You can add some simple embellishments, die-cuts, ribbons, gems, and more to make the cards shine.

My Minds Eye Notecards Main

With the envelopes included in the box, sending a note of kindness is quick and easy.  Use the cards as-is for a personal note.

Add a few embellishments to create that hand made look with minimal time.

You can also use the note cards to create an awesome mini album.  Stack the cards inside each other, trim some of the edges, tie with some twine, and voila…a mini album in a snap.

American Crafts Stamps and Memory Marker | Mid Week Mojo Amber #10

Melodee Blog Giveaway, Layout, Mid Week Mojo, Sketch, Stamping Comments

Amber – Week 10 of 10
New to Mid Week Mojo?  Get started here!  

American Crafts Stamps and Memory Markers are some of the best around. Now, I love stamps and stampers but I am not one. I used to be a stamper but that was years ago and I am definitely out of practice! I took on this week as a challenge and I am pretty happy with the results.

Stamps are so versatile and can be used in many different ways. I ended up using them mostly to make die cuts.  Here is my layout:

Here is the sketch:

A simple sketch, but you can add many layers.  I used the banner stamps for my title, and colored in the outline with the Memory Markers.

 I love to layer items to create dimension.  I used the grid stamp as a sort of a background and layered die cuts on top.

Here is where I cut out the stamp images into little die cuts.  I also just added some chevrons to add a little on the background.
