                                             Fun times!!!  I hope you enjoyed looking!

BLAZE Softball Necklaces

Here are the necklaces that I made for the mothers on our team!  They are pics of their girls under glass.  I soldered them together, then hung some special little danglies from the bottom!

         
                                                              Here are some close-ups!

I didn't want the girls to feel left out, so I made them these little bottle cap necklaces to wear outside of game time!

I found the print outs on Etsy, then put them in the bottle caps with some Glossy Accents glue.  Then, I used a bit of bling to finish them off!

                          I stamped these little bags, then colored the images with copic markers.

I gave them to the girls and told them there was something for them in the bags and something for their mothers!  They seemed to be pretty pleased!

I tried to make each bag look just like the girl it was for.  I put their actual number on the cap!

I hope you enjoyed looking!  Check back for more recent projects!  These were from Spring 2014!  lol

DT challenge

Shelley, here, with a Sweet Treat, just in time for Valentine's Day!   This was my entry for the Design Team Challenge from last Valentine's Day(2014)!!

And, now, on with the project!!
I've made a few Valentine's Day Magnets, and decorated a jar to put a few treats in!

For the jar, I took a doilly and sprayed it with Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Ginger Peach, then daubed the edges with Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Hot Cinnamon.  After it dried, I covered the inside metal lid, and put the ring around it.  These fabulous cupcakes were made with the "Delightful Cupcakes" Die-Namites Die and some thin metal.  They look good enough to eat!

Here are the magnet-valentines I made!

 

I started with chipboard pieces.  On the scalloped piece, I used Inka Gold in "Lava Red".  This provided a nice base to start with!  For the top chipboard piece, I used a piece of Cotswald Manor paper.  The "Heart Bouquet" is another awesome die from Die-Namites!  To give the little chipboard bird a little bit of texture, I used the Viva Magic Transparent Pearl Pen.  I glued a piece of magnet on the back of the piece.  So, instead of giving a little Valentine's Day card, I will give my Valentines a little magnet that will have them thinking of me just a little bit longer!

On this magnet, I used the "Delightful Cupcakes" diecut again!  I cut it in two different colors of metal, allowing me to have the cut-out parts in a different color, and then I glued them on!

I hope you enjoyed my project!  Please stop back in regularly to see what wonderful things The Crafty Scrapper has to share!!

"BOMBERS" Baseball Album

 Here is the album I made for my son's baseball team, the BOMBERS!

 

I began with an awesome Heart of Texas Studio album that has a diameter of 10 inches!  This baby is BIG!

I decided to do something a little different that usual.  This season, I used 5"x7" photos instead of the usual 4"x6"s.  I matted every picture...sometimes I double or triple matted!  The other thing I did differently is that I painted all of the pages...several coats, then sealed each one after painting for the shine!

As far as the camoflauge pattern, I hand drew that on the front edge, as you see her, and also on the back page of the album.  It was a little bit of a pain, but hey, it's cheaper than therapy(actually, I'm beginning to wonder about that!  lol)  Heart of Texas Studio let me order the "Bombers" chipboard piece that you see laying on the top.  Pam is good to me! 

 On some of them, I pop dotted them to add dimension, and on a few, I just left the pics/mats flat.

                       Around the edges,  I used paint markers and wrote famous baseball quotes.

 I was pretty happy with the result.  I took all of the photos, as always, and my husband made some cool edits like this one!

This was at the Travel Sports World Series in June.  BOMBERS took 2nd in the second bracket.  It was a well-fought game, and the boys had to work their way up the losers bracket on Sunday by playing 8 games!  7 of which they won!

      We were so proud of them!!  Some things you just never forget!  Love my BOMBERS!!

                                                          Here's the back of the album.

We gave them out at the end of season party!  Here was the bag I painted for their albums to go in!  A great time was had by all!!

Funky Cheetah Gift Bags and Mini Basketball Albums for Basketball Party

 Here are some basketball items I made and want to share with you!

 These are the gift bags that I used for the mini albums I made for my little girl's basketball team!

 I painted white gift bags with Sky Blue Silks Acrylic Glaze and African Jade Silks Acrylic Glaze, leaving some white spaces for where the spots would go later.  I then cut a large heart out of random black and/or grey basketball paper, and glued it in the middle of the sack.

I painted the spots with Key Lime Silks Acrylic Glaze.  After these completely dried, I used Black Ice Silks Acrylic Glaze around the spots.

 I then punched out a tag out of aqua cardstock, stamped a basketball on it and painted the basketball with Kiwi Luminarte Twinling H20.  I then finished it off with a few curly ribbons on the tag and on the handle of the bag!

Here are the books I made for the girls that went in the bags!  I put around 10 pictures in each one of the albums!

Here is a close-up of the front of the album!

Here is the back of the album!
 
Here is Team SWISH after winning the Championship!!

Here are the bags, sitting with the Championship trophy at the end-of-the season party!   We were proud of our girls!

Happy Birthday, Cupcake!!

Here is my Birthday ATC project!

 
I started with our real wood ATC and added Viva Modeling Cream with a zebra stencil.  In order to make the cream the pretty purple color, I mixed in a bit of Lavender Primary Elements in the cream before using it with the stencil.  After this completely dried, I painted the remaining wood with several coats of Mediterranean Blue Luminarte Twinkling H20.


I used some Viva White Stone Effect Paste mixed with Cinnamon Primary Elements powder, and put it on the top of the cupcake for the icing.  I then sprinkled some glass beads on it while it was still wet.  I painted the candle with Viva Turquoise Precious Metal Effect and the flame with Viva Orange Pearl Pen.
For the cupcake holder, I used the white eyelet ribbon from May Arts and sprayed it with Periwinkle Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist.  For the bow, I used white May Arts ribbon painted with the Turquoise Precious Metal Effect Paint somewhat sparsely.
To finish off the ATC, I used a few birthday sentiments!
I hope you guys enjoyed looking, I certainly enjoyed sharing it with you!!

Canvas: Peace, Love, and Softball

Shelley here, with a canvas I painted for my daughter!


It's a painted canvas with a few of her softball pictures on it!  She's going to be anxious to hang this in her room!


I started with a 14"x18" canvas, and glued three photos down toward the bottom.  I then used black cardstock to fashion the film strip around them, and glued this down, also.


I then drew the peace sign, heart, and softball on the canvas, and painted the whole canvas, including the symbols and the background using Splash of Color's Silks Acrylic Glace and Splash of Color's Viva Colour Precious Metal Effect Paints.  For the background, I just made a few large paintstrokes with one color, let it dry, then did another color, etcetera, until I was happy with it.  You will get a more pronounced look if you wait for each color to thoroughly dry before putting the next color down.


Here is a side-view.  I went ahead and painted the sides of the canvas the same way as I did the background, as I do not plan on framing it.  Another technique I have used before is to glue buttons on the sides to dress it up a bit!


To make the cardstock look like a film strip, I used Splash of Color's Viva Colour Silver Metal Effect Paint on the edges.  To make the peace sign, heart, and softball show up well, I outlined them with Splash of Colors's Viva Colour Graphite Paper Pen.  This should be done toward the end of the project, as it will need to completely dry.   For the softball laces, I used Splash of Color's Viva Colour Red Gitter Pen.  On the heart, I used red glitter sparsely.
On the top portion of the canvas, I embellished with hot pink tulle and buttons that I stamped myself, along with a bit of twine.
Lastly, I wrote the words "Peace", "Love", and "Softball" on the respective items, using a fine tip black marker.  On the film strip, I used a thin white marker to write my daugher's name, team name, and when the picture was taken.
My little girl loved it, and I had fun making it for her, and sharing it with you!!!   I hope you enjoyed looking!  Have a great day!
