Chargers for the Win!

Genevieve Speegle
My father-in-law is a huge Chargers fan and I knew he was getting tickets to a game for his birthday, so I just had to make something football related.
So, what did I do?  I busted out my trusty ol’ Photoshop and got to work!  I found his profile picture from Facebook and then removed his head (wah, ha, ha ~ mad scientist laugh) and added it to this football picture I found in a google search.
Love it!  This picture makes me laugh every time!

Birthday Girl

Genevieve Speegle
I recently made this birthday card for a very special 4-yr-old.  I thought the image looked just like her, so I was excited to make this unique greeting for her. 
I was also in the middle of moving, so I only had about 1/2 my scrapbook supplies on hand (how did I make it through without my goodies, you ask?  It wasn’t easy!)
I had no access to buttons, brads or ribbon, so I had to be a bit creative.  🙂 
I went a little Stickles crazy here and then embellished the card with tons of flowers and rhinestones.  The scalloped ovals and swirls in the corners are from the Storybook Cricut cartridge.

Pin-Up Halloween Card Class!

Genevieve Speegle
This kitschy pin-up Halloween card collection is full of unique elements and 1950’s inspired fun!
I wanted to use lots of retro feelin’ embellishments, like the sparkly brad and gingham ribbon.

These layouts are "POE"sitively fun!

Genevieve Speegle
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door –
They must be bringing me a new My Mind’s Eye layout!”

Ok ~ so I took some liberties there.  🙂 

I’ve been having so much fun with the new My Mind’s Eye Haunted line!  I made both of these layouts this week using lots of colorful Distress Ink, along with Prima and Petaloo goodies.

I used kind of a collage technique with both pages and added TONS of crystals (all by hand) on the second page.

I used the new Happy Hauntings cartridge by Cricut to make the photo frames for both layouts.
I also enjoyed using lots of my Vintage style goodies (I have a tendency to hoard them).
Hope these two pages give you lots of ideas!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!
XOXO

Basic Grey Oliver Page Kit

Genevieve Speegle
I’ve been having lots of fun with the Basic Grey Oliver line lately.  I bought the card kit, collection pack and page kit for the line! 
This is the first Basic Grey page kit I’ve used and I’m really happy with it!  It was super easy to use and included lots of goodies ~ from rub-ons to chipboard!  The only items I added were thread (I did some sewing throughout), ink and buttons.
It was a fun afternoon project to do with my sister, too!  We each bought a kit and had a quick craft day together. 
I’m so glad that Basic Grey started selling page kits this year.  I’ve been a fan of their card kits for a long time, too.  I’m excited to see what they come up with next!

Back to School with Hello Kitty

Genevieve Speegle
My niece is starting the 4th grade tomorrow and I wanted to make her a special back to school card.
She loves Hello Kitty and I found this great SVG file for those of you who use Sure Cuts a Lot with your Cricut.  I added red glitter to her bow using Martha Stewart’s Garnet glitter and some Ranger Glossy Accents. 

I also hand-cut the pencil and paper from the Cosmo Cricket “The Boyfriend” line of cardstock.
I used lots of sold cardstock and white ink to make the card itself look like a chalk board.
I’m off to see her now ~ hope she likes it!
