So here is where you come in! 
We need help! 

Simply become a follower on our blog & leave a suggestion for a name for either or both of these adorable guys! The winner gets a FREE stamp & bragging rights!

Design Team Bo Bunny - Mango Luau


So I was handed some paper that I would normally not work with and was stumped for a moment. And then I began to think..........SURFBOARD


But it couldn't be just any surfboard. It had to be a mini album. So I took theSilhouette and cut out a surfboard shape covered all the pages front and back with the Bo Bunny - Mango Luau and went from there. I decided it would look kinda cute as a sign so I used binder rings and my Big Shot to cut out the sign bracket and also covered that front and back with the card stock. I used the stickers from the collection and Scrap Happy Orange Fizz and Jellybean Green Inks and Cardstockthroughout. 


I inked all the edges and popped up the surfboards on this page. Behind that is a little mini book to pull out to add photos to, front and back.


The next page is tied with ribbon from the Sew Ribbon and I love how it matched up with the orange in the paper. 


This too folds out to add more pictures to.


The last couple pages have stickers added and have more space to add pictures and journal.




Hope you enjoy this weeks project and get a chance to get to the store to try out all of the products used in this project and much more.

Hello everyone.  Happy Monday.  Today I have a card for you made from our summer fun kit.  Now, this is not material that I would normally use, but Susie insisted that we all try to do something out of our norm.  So of course I made a card with Beach Marci from La-La Land Crafts, but I changed her a bit.  I paper pieced her bathing suit and hat (not any easy feat, believe me).  I colored her with my Copics.  On her hat is a Peebles Candy Dot in green (which can be found at Scrap Happy.  The dies are from the Cloud, Sun and Island Set from La-La LandCrafts.  The palm tree I cut out from my Silhouette Cameo (love that machine).  The coconuts are pearls that I colored brown.  I used Star Dust Stickles on the sun to make it shine.  I hope you enjoy my Beach Marci as much as I did making her.  

New stamps and dies are arriving for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  You don't want to miss out, exclusive to Scrap Happy.  Until next time, have a happy day. 



Copics used:

Flesh E11, E00, E000, R20
Hair E27, 25, 23

Exclusive Scrap Happy Stamp


I was asked to be a Guest Cupcake for the Cupcake Challenge 4 th birthday celebration.  This is the card I made and I absolutely LOVE it.  I used Scrap happy's wonderful stamp. This image is so much fun to color.  Everything I used to make this card is available at the Scrap Happy Store. I made the flower using "Honey Pop",  and the filigree corners, are a La La Die. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

"Shoreline", 6 x 6 by American Craft

Hi fellow scrappers! It's me Cathy. I almost always make cards, but I saw this tutorial on YouTube and I thought it looked like fun. So I asked a friend for some pics of her children and this is what I came up with a "Squash Book".  I used the 6x6 paper pack Shoreline, The embellishments are made to coordinate with these papers. The ribbon is by We R Memory Keepers. I used stickers by Imaginisce. I used Snag' em Stamps to stamp the background on the tags.  All products to make my Squash book are available in the store but you must bring your own pics.

I put lined cardstock on the back of all tags for journaling and there are places to journal in the book to record fond memories.  This project was so much fun I hope you enjoy viewing it....See ya soon!Crafting Cathy

Shoreline by American Crafts


Come sail away with me.


American Crafts Shoreline reminds me of days of summer. Relaxing in the sand, watching the sun set. With this card I was trying to get the feel of resting on the water in the middle of the ocean, with the sun high in the sky. Using Scrap Happy cardstock as my base and AC Shoreline as my background. I used the DIY Thickers and turquoise embossing powder from AC. All products used in making this card can be found at Scrap Happy Ohio, online and in the store. Make sure to stop by and check out all the new items from CHA too. 




After making my card I was still wanting to play around with this adorable paper. So I grabbed another piece of Scrap Happy cardstock and started playing. This is just a little brag book made with cardstock and pieces of the 6 x 6 stack of Shoreline. 

Make sure to check it all out at

A little bit Lively 'round here with some more Authentique

It has been a very busy week for us on the Scrap Happy design team.  Can you tell, all these beautiful projects posted?!  Well, on this, the last day of the month, I am going to just barely squeeze in yet another project!  I shall make this a quicker than usual post as I am glued to the Olympics and the very handsome, scantily clad maleswimmers, ooh la la!  ;)

I put together a quick layout using Authentique's Lively.  I know, surprise, surprise Candy is using Authentique again.  What can I say, I am IN LOVE.  This line is very quirky and fun.  Phenomenal color combinations and fun patterns and perfect for late Summer.  I ADORE the wood grain paper which I used as the main paper in my layout, and it went perfectly with the picture I had chosen.  Little Sidney is the Niece of a great friend of mine and she is just absolutely adorable and this photo spoke to me, what a sweet look of pure contentment on her young face, and that was how the title came about.

I actually whipped this baby up in about 2 hours, my mojo was in full swing.  I got to use one of my favorite tools, the We R Memory Keepers Sew Ribbon.  I use this particular one so much I am going to have to get another one, my blades are dulling!  This one is the pink one, called "weave".  I used the pink twill ribbon in "Bubblegum" up the left side and across part of the top.  I actually made a boo boo, which is why I only went part way across.  But my mantra is "THERE ARE NO MISTAKES IN CRAFTING" so I took the opportunity and added some great Maya Road pleated twill ribbon in a great matching chartreuse color.  I liked it so well I added more on the bottom.  I wanted to make sure all the colors were balanced so I topped it with MORE great Maya Road trim in Hot Pink ric rac.  I don't use it often enough but I took my Tim Holtz  Tiny Attatcher and stapled it on for a more rustic look.  Well, more so because I didn't want to get my hot glue gun out, but I like the rustic look ;)  

As in my last layout using Authentique I used many of the alpha stickers and stickers in general.  They are just a great aspect of Authentique's lines, always a favorite of mine.  I used a lot of random stuff from my stash like the buttons and some hemp twine, but got them all at Scrap Happy.  Trust me 98% of everything crafty I own is from Scrap Happy and Susie LOVES me for it!
Since this layout isn't for me, it will ultimately be a gift for little Sidney's grandma and wife of the #1 Grampy in the picture ;) I didn't do any journaling so I left that blank, but what I did was make a pocket under the mat for the picture and put in a little journaling spot.  I used an adorable tab sticker from the sheet and it will pull-out and in.  It is functional AND adorable. These next photos are of the front and back of the journaling spot.

Well, that is it for now.   As always, everything used can be found at Scrap Happy.  This and my last layout for design team along with specifications for each will be on display starting this Friday.  

Have a Scrap Happy Day!
~Hugs~
