FREEBIE: NEW! Girl Stuff Metal Art Key Chains By Rachel

Just finished this one up and zipped it to share. I couldn't wait 'til morning, cause I know you guys will love this one!

This was inspired by some "Metal Art" I picked up from the hobby shop the other day when I was gathering up all of my scrab stuff. I saw these little metal key chains, intended to go on scap book pages and figured, what the heck I can make that digital. So I played around with it a little but and sure enough I made one. I went ahead and made a quick template so I can turn these out real quick and in differant colors and patterns. I have about 15 of them made right now with just differant words and I put this one package together real quick called "Girl Stuff". While I was at it I made a new Craft Bag to put my goodies in. ;)



Aren't those cute? They would go so great on scraps of your girls and her friends and what not, or just alone. ;)

Here is an upclose look . This is only 60% the actual size of the Metal Art Key Chains. I make them larger for better qaulity when resizing them. :)

What Fun!

Nikki and I have been having a blast with all of that scrap book stuff I bought from the hobby shop the other day. We made a real Scrap page of the ballerina picture I took of her yesterday.

The only thing that gets to me about the digital elements I make, is I don't have any real life tangable pieces like that to make real scraps for her book. Their beauty must remain online, but I suppose that is what makes it all unique and fun! lol

Anyhoo, this scrap we made is going to go in a picture frame on her wall of her bedroom. I would like to take a picture of it as soon as I have it framed.

The differance is, I do not have the ballet Metal Art pieces I made to hot glue to her real scrap LO! So I did some differant things, put a pair of balley slippers and a crown on the LO, and used some buttons, ribbons and ric-rac with some Alpha Sliders ( PSSST... I am making some Digital Alpha Sliders as we speak... hehe keep posted, you're gonne want them Fo'SHO'!)

Later I will get that pic up, Cause I definately want to show that one off! and SHE LOVES IT!

Hugs,
Rachel

Show 'N Tell: Nikki's Ballerina Scrap LO

I took some pictures of Nikki today in her ballerina costume. She isn't a ballerina, but she would love to be when we have the money to get her lessons! She does play dress up alot and I love getting pictures of her in all of the characters she likes to play.

She got this Ballerina Costume for her birthday, and after I made the Ballet Metal Art Scrap elements yesterday, it gave me an idea to take some pics and make a scrap LO as an example of what the Metal Art can be used for, plus it gave me a chance to make another scrap of one of the kids to show off to everyone! :)

I used a Template by Hilmarose and The Papers, Photos of Nikki and Metal Art are my original work. :)
You Can Download the Metal Art HERE.

Web Slinger

We're doing our Saturday chores today, which consists of Laundry and misc. deep cleaning around the house or outside chores. They would only take maybe an hour or two, but a few little people around here like to sneak off and do other things, and I spend a majority of my time barking at them to get busy. lol

Today, I have found more silly string hanging off of the oddest places in the house. The other day Nathan asked me to take him shopping, because he had spent over a month saving his allowance and doing extra chores and had finally saved up $32.00. He hung out in the toy aisle of Wal-Mart for over an hour looking at Spider Man stuff when he finally decided on a Spider Man Web Slinger which is a super fancy and over priced water gun, but has the option to shoot "Web" which is a $7.00 can of silly string. lol He bought that and an extra can of "Web". I instructed him NOT to do that in the house, that all water and webbing was to be sprayed and shot outside. Once we got home, I realized I had forgotten part of the reason I went to the store and had to go back and left him home with his Dad! When I got home about 30 minutes later, there was silly string hanging from the walls and drapes all through out the house and in the babies hair. I hit the roof! UGH! Almost a week later and I am still finding silly string rimanents all over the house!

FREEBIE: Rachel's Spring Thing Papers

I thought today I would post some of my papers. I used these to make the scrap of Mom and Neena during her bath time. The colors are great for spring or summer themed scraps. :)

I hope you like them and can use them. ;)


There are three papers, two patterned and one solid. Papers are in .JPEG format and are HUGE, so you can resize them to whatever size you like without taking away from the over all texture and beauty of the papers. :)

If this is your first visit and first Freebie DL from my site, I kindly request that you read my TOU. You can read them HERE.

Want them?


Well, the kiddos are at the movie watching Spider Man with a friend today, so that gives me a couple of hours with just me and Neena. After a quick bath and fresh clothes for her, she is going down for a nap and I have dishes to wash and clothes to sort. I will be back in a while. I hope you make some great LO's with these papers. I'd love for you to link me if you post something, I love seeing everyones creativity. :)

Papers, Stickers and Elements, OH MY!

LOL!!!! I just took a look at my loot. I couldn't resist.... I was given a $100.00 limit for scraps at the local hobby shop the other day and everything was 50% off, so I walked out of there with a little over $100.00 worth of new scrap items and $56.00. That left me $44.00 in my budget. Two days later I am wondering, "Oh my, what to do with $44.00.."

Well, what do you think I did? lol I went back to the hobby shop and bought up more scrap stuff!! I am talking, ribbons, and elements and papers and bows and stickers and SCRAPS SCRAPS SCRAPS!!!!

I sat it on the table when I got home with the rest of the stuff I bought the other day and it is a heaping mess of SCRAPS!! I do this digital scrapping, because it's so much fun and then I got the bright idea to make some matching LO in RL.

I had bought some little baby scrap books at big lots last week, and so I only needed a few papers and things to start the books, and now I have enough to last a life time! WOW!

This will be fun... I hope I have some time to do this with all that I have divided between the kids the house and my digital stuff. lol I am sure I can squeeze it in somewhere. lol

Hugs,
Rachel <-------- Scrap Junkie
