Scrappin' My Stress Away

Where I Have Been

2018-03-06T08:30:00.003-08:00

Hello Friends!!

I have not been papercrafting much lately - as my youngest got older he refused to smile for pictures from me and even from some of my friends, so I stopped scrapbooking. I miss it at times!!

I retired from in-home child care and started crafting full time. I sell in 5 local shops and I do craft shows when I can (around baseball).

I have a brand new website with a blog attached that is directed more towards painting wood signs, heat pressing, and other crafts. I invite you to join me if that interests you!

Here is some of my work:

Have a wonderful day!!!

Disney Blog Hop

2016-02-05T20:01:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Disney and crafting are a magical combination, and we are so happy you joined us to day for this blog hop. Some of the crafters participating in this event have been doing this together since 2011! Over the years the hop has grown but one thing has always stayed the same . . . amazing crafting projects that feature your favorite characters from Disney and Pixar movies.

For 2016 we are going to attempt to have a hop every other month for the entire year . . . February, April, June, August, October and December. If you are on Facebook you can like the group page so that you can be the first to learn about each upcoming event. Just click HERE to go the the Facebook page.

To make sure you don't miss any of the fun, be sure to start at Shawn's blog to see all of the projects. Just click HERE to head over to her blog and then follow the hop line up at the bottom of the post to see everyone's projects.

I just returned from a trip to Walt Disney World January 7th and want to go back already!!! I got to see my friend Melissa Allore who was an original participant in this blog hop!

Before we left for Disney World, I wanted to decorate my Magic Band. I grabbed the band from the last trip and practiced on that one first.

I took a fine tip paint pen and traced the Mickey head. It was a little plain but better than blank. I colored it in white (not pictured) but the paint did not cover well. I was afraid it would rub off. So back to Pinterest I went.

I found this Mickey headband image and traced it with my Silhouette Program and cut it out in black 651 vinyl. I added my initial in a fun font. Not every L looks good so I had to find one that I liked and fit the space well.

Tanner wanted his done too.

After 11 days at WDW, my Magic Band looked the same. Tanner's T peeled off around day 9 - it lasted longer than I thought it would!!

My next project was inspired by a shirt that popped up on Shawn's newsfeed. I traced the hand and used a font from my computer to create this shirt out of HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and my heat press! My husband can wear it on our next trip!!!

Here are some of our favorite pictures from this trip. I kind of miss waiting in line to meet the Characters. Tanner is 10 now and prefers riding the rides. The only characters we saw were the Star Wars Characters and the ones at our two character breakfasts.

Before you go, make sure to enter to win our prize for this hop . . . a Disney paper pack from Queen & Co.

The paper stack will not even be shipping out to stores until late February 2016, so you can have it before the stores are even selling it! Note: Due to the fact that we received this paper stack so early, it is considered a promotional proof and there could be some slight variations from what will be shipped to stores.

Good luck, and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Making Love Signs!

2016-01-26T07:19:00.000-08:00

I have been pretty busy painting wood signs since September and have neglected my blog a bit. I find it easier to post to my facebook business page from my cell phone when I am away from my desk. If you would like to see some of my work, you can see them HERE.

I am getting ready for a Love themed craft show and here are some of the signs I have painted:

These are made with pallet wood or fence boards. I make stencils with my Cameo and paint with acrylic paint. It started out as fun but has grown into a nice way to make some extra money for baseball, Christmas and vacation funds.

Wood Signs

2015-09-14T08:32:00.000-07:00

I am afraid my blog has been a little neglected lately - I have been posting on my FaceBook Page HERE. I am so blessed that people like my wood signs so much they are buying them from me. I sell some of my work in two shops, Robin's Nest in downtown Springfield, NE and Twisted Vine in downtown Papillion, NE. My goal this fall was to do two craft shows to help pay for Tanner's baseball. Well, my first show is coming up this weekend - it is a 3 day festival!!!

Here are some of my current projects:

I hope to see some of my local friends in Nebraska City!

No Soliciting Sign - Funny

2015-08-03T03:30:00.000-07:00

Today I am sharing this fun project at my friend Sheila's BLOG! My friend saw a sign similar to this on FaceBook and asked if I could make her one. She is a beer girl - no wine or foo foo drinks - so she thought this was perfect!! She has had a lot of foot traffic in her neighborhood this summer. With 2 dogs, it gets crazy when solicitors come to the house several times a day!!

I started out with a black burlap canvas panel from Michaels size 9 x 12. If you only have a white canvas, you could paint it black for this step.

I used my cameo but this could also be made with another cutting program. I put a 9 x 12 rectangle on my mat colored black as my canvas. I made 2 rounded corner rectangles in white. I did an internal offset of the smaller rectangle to create the red one.

I used the cutting tool to trim the top off of the bigger white rectangle to mimic the original sign.

No Soliciting is LEArchitect font and I made a compound path with the red rectangle that "cut out" the letters.

I used Arial font for the first three sentences.

I used Front Page News font for the Seriously sentence.

I used Impact for Please Go Away!

All of these fonts were either on my computer or downloaded from dafont.com.

I used the white spaces to help me size the words.

I separated the pieces and cut the white on one mat, the black pieces on another mat and finally the red. I could have combined the black and red on one mat, but I made other black and red cuts at the same time!

The hardest part of using vinyl on canvas is getting the vinyl to stick to the canvas. The larger white pieces adhered pretty well.

I hot glued twine to the back of the canvas and added two felt feet on the bottom of the back.

My friend was so excited about this - she sent me a picture of the sign hanging on her door!!

Thank you Sheila for having me on your blog today!!!

Dad Blocks

2015-07-10T03:30:00.000-07:00

Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway with a fun project for Dad.

I had a special request for a Father's Day gift for my neighbor. She is one of my best customers -she researches fun projects and asks me to make them for her!!

I took photos of her three grandkids and copied them in black and white on photo paper. I had some 3" blocks left over from some home décor from years ago. Yes I keep things for years hoping to repurpose them...No I am not a hoarder!!!

I cut out two sets of letters spelling Dad and put them on two sides of the block. I decided to put them on opposite sides so you could see pictures on each side of the letters.

I trimmed the pictures and used mod podge to adhere them. I put a coat of mod podge on the block and another coat on top of the photo. Once the blocks dried, I added a final coat of mod podge.

Kyle loved his gift and is going to put these on his desk.

When my son was a baby, I made smaller blocks that spelled his name and had photos of him. I still have those 9 years later!!

Thanks Sheila for letting my share this project with you on your blog!!

Glitter Vinyl Frame

2015-07-07T04:00:00.000-07:00

Hello - today I am featured at The Buckle Boutique BLOG. I have been using a lot of Glitzy Glitter Vinyl lately and I have to say I just love it!! It is very smooth - the glitter is really pressed into the vinyl. I wanted to do something a little bit different today so I decided to stick the vinyl on a wood frame.

I took a frame from Michaels for $1 and some purple glitter vinyl.

I traced the frame on the back of the vinyl and cut it out.

Looks good!

I peeled the backing off and slowly stuck the vinyl down on the frame. I had to peel it off once (or twice) to get it just right - but no worries it did not crease or bend and was still super sticky!!

I found a pretty picture (from our last Disney trip) that matched the frame. I ran ribbon behind the photo and over the edges and used a beautiful heart ribbon slide.

I can easily change the photo and ribbon in the future.

This frame now looks very fancy and sparkly!!!

Flag Shutter

2015-07-06T03:00:00.000-07:00

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July if you live in the US!! Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway with a fun holiday project (Pinterest Inspired) made from a reclaimed shutter.

First I pulled off the bars on the front of the shutter - the ones you move up and down to open and close the shutters. In order to keep the bars from twirling after the bar is removed, I taped the back of the shutters.

I spray painted the shutterwhite - I did 3 coats.

Next came the fun part!! I used painter's tape to tape off all of the parts I wanted to keep white. I then spray painted the red stripes. Again it took 3 coats.

On the other side of the newspaper is a star I cut out of vinyl. I spray painted that section blue.

I had a little overspray but a little white acrylic paint and paintbrush worked perfectly to cover that up!

I put the shutter in my front yard near my porch. My friend keeps offering to take it off my hands for me!! I had fun making this project, but it was a lot more work than I thought it would be!!

Baseball is Life Layout

2015-07-03T03:53:00.003-07:00

Today at Frosted Designs our new challenge is Red, White and/or Blue, Something Old and Something New.

I was thinking 4th of July, but baseball just fit for me right now! I hoard baseball paper and both of these papers are Old!!! I rarely use rub ons but still buy them......the Baseball Is Life is a rub on and it is also Old!! It describes my life at this very moment. I am typing this as we get ready to leave for State Baseball this morning!

This photo is of my Husband (coach) Middle Son (coach) and Youngest Son (player) after winning our annual tournament on Father's Day. Proud of all three of these boys!!

I used my New burlap ribbon and metal charm. The charm says LOVE LIFE and the metal goes with the trophy in the photo!

I hope you join us at Frosted Designs with a fun project of your own!!!

Champs Layout (Let's Scrap)

2015-07-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

Today begins a brand new sketch challenge at Let's Scrap! My son's team recently got their first 1st Place finish this season - at our tournament on Father's Day! It was amazing!! We had one 3rd place finish and two 2nd place finishes (lost by one point and lost by two points in the championship games).

This sketch was perfect for the photos I had! I used patterned paper instead of flowers.

I used my cameo and Freshman font to create the journal tags. The third tag, Champs, was adhered to the team photo holding up the trophy. I have been waiting to use this trophy paper!!!

Instead of a banner flag, I used my Cameo to print out this crossed bat and ball image. I fussy cut it and adhered it to the top of this photo of him. We play for the Storm Chasers - our sponsor is the Omaha Storm Chasers - the KC Royals minor league team. I found this paper at my local scrapbook store!

So proud of this team! I was so happy for the dads that the team won for them on Father's Day!!

Mickey Water Bottle

2015-06-27T03:00:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to The Original Disney Pixar Blog Hop!!! You should have arrived from Nancy's BLOG. If you found me first, hop on over to Shawn's BLOG so you don't miss a thing!! This is one of my very favorite blog hops - I hope you enjoy it too!!

I am sad to say we are not planning a trip to Disney World this year. Last year, we went to Disneyland and Disney World - so maybe next year!!!!

Personalized water bottles are all the rage right now so I thought I would get mine ready!!

I started with a double wall water bottle from Wal-Mart. You can unscrew the top of the widest part to add ice - love this feature!!

I used some Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique. This vinyl is super glittery and the glitter is pressed into the vinyl. It is smooth and sparkly!!!

When cutting on my Silhouette Cameo, I use the Vinyl Setting but add a double cut.

You can really see the shine here as it is cutting!

I use my "dental tool" to pick up a corner and weed the extra pieces away.

I put an "L" inside a Mickey Head and used a font from my computer for "My Happy Place" for my water bottle.

I have found the best transfer tape to use is painter's tape. The only drawback is you can not always see your design.

Here is the Mickey head after I lifted it off the vinyl backing. It is silver shiny on the back which is pretty when you have a clear glass container!!

I burnished it onto my water bottle. I first wiped it with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry.

I tied a bow on top for fun - I will take it off when I drink out of the cup!

And the back!

As with any vinyl designed cups and glasses - make sure you hand wash between uses!

Welcome Garden Flag

2015-06-01T07:27:00.001-07:00

Hello and Happy June!!! Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway!!

I am so excited to be able to have a booth this Saturday in a local Artist in the Garden Show! As a baseball mom, I don't have a lot of free time on a Saturday - but this weekend is not a tournament weekend for us and we have an evening game!

I recently started playing with burlap and my heat press and made a couple of garden flags. This flag was designed for my neighbor.

I use my Silhouette Cameo, heat transfer vinyl and a heat press to make these.

Here are a couple more:

Thank you Sheila for letting me share my projects today on your blog!!!

For my local peeps - hope to see you Saturday!!

Lucky Layout (Let's Scrap)

2015-06-01T05:42:00.001-07:00

Today begins a new challenge at Let's Scrap! I made this layout for my dear friend to give her Aunt La La for her birthday - which is also St. Patrick's Day!

I will use this sketch again! I just love the stars and can totally substitute any shape or embellishment! You can do one side or both.

I used Glossy Accents and twine to make my vine around the shamrocks.

I layered two busy patterned papers and I think the green shamrocks break up the pattern.

I printed Lucky and Aunt La La using my Silhouette Cameo and Desire (paid font).

My friend and her aunt just loved this keepsake! The family all made a scrapbook page or two of their best memories and they presented the album to her for her birthday!

Join us at Let's Scrap with your version of the sketch!!

Pals Layout

2015-05-23T16:57:00.001-07:00

This week at Frosted Designs our challenge is to try String Art. Alternatively you can use string or twine in a creative way.

I struggled with this challenge - I won't lie!!! Most of my photos in my "to be scrapped" pile are of my son Tanner. It is hard to make boyish embellishments!!!

I took this wood polaroid shape and used DMC floss to cross stitch the bottom. I then cut out the word Pals from my Silhouette Cameo and wound red thread around the letters. It looks a bit Halloween-ish but I like how it turned out!

These two boys were together a lot this year so I thought this Together sign was perfect!

Instead of matting my photo, I made a frame around it using DMC floss. I used Glossy Accents to stick it in place.

I hope you join us at Frosted Designs - I can't wait to see everyone's take on this challenge!!

Bride and Groom Toasting Glasses

2015-05-19T02:00:00.000-07:00

It is wedding season! I love decorating wine glasses with vinyl but I wanted to make a set of toasting glasses for a special couple.

I found a Bride and Groom design from the Silhouette store and cut it out in Gold Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from the Buckle Boutique.

I use the Vinyl setting on my Silhouette program but I add a double cut. You can cut the vinyl glitter side up - the glitter is embedded into the vinyl and is really smooth!

Once the vinyl is cut, you need to weed away the extra pieces.

I use a dental tool to "poke and pull" away the extra vinyl pieces. It is harder to see the cut lines so I use my Ott Light and I go slow!

This cut is thin in places so I went really slow and trimmed away the extra pieces when I could.

The best transfer material is painter's tape. The only problem is it is not transparent. If you are cutting a thick design, you can peel up a corner and carefully apply without using transfer tape if you like.

I use a Pampered Chef scraper to burnish the vinyl onto the tape and slowly peel the tape up.

I cleaned the glass with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry. I placed the vinyl on the glass and burnished it again. I slowly peeled the tape off.

I added a bow - you could also add tulle if you like.

Thank you for stopping by today - have a Blingy Day!!!

Easter Egg Hunt Layout

2015-05-15T06:03:00.000-07:00

Today begins a new challenge at Let's Scrap!!!

I love the sketch and thought of Easter right away!!

I love this picture of my three boys Easter morning! I included some pictures of our Easter Egg Hunt too.

I love the versatility of our sketches! You can use one page or both in any fashion! I used an easter bucket instead of the large circle and tree.

I found this Easter arrow in the Silhouette store - arrows are so popular right now. I also used a bucket instead of a basket because my boys are holding their buckets.

I normally don't mix papers, but went outside of my box with this layout!

I love the eggs!

I journaled on the Egg Hunt banner flag.

Easter is one of the few layouts I can use flowers on!!! I hope you join us at Let's Scrap to get your pages scrapped!!!

Wood Sign - Wedding Gift

2015-05-11T03:00:00.000-07:00

Hello!! May is a month of celebrations!! Mother's Day, Graduation, Birthdays and Weddings.

Today I am featured at Sheila's BLOG with one of my very favorite wedding gift ideas. I made this for my friend to give as a gift.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to design my stencils. I cut the heart, name, date and LOVE out of vinyl.

I painted some turquoise chalk paint on my wood sign blank. The sign is made from old fence boards. I then used a stencil to paint the heart using a maroon paint. I used my electric sander to distress the paint a bit.

Next, I placed the words and date where I wanted them using clear contact paper from the Dollar Tree and my Pampered Chef scraper.

I slowly painted with white paint.

As soon as I finished painting, I peeled vinyl right up. Any imperfections are ok as I will sand and distress the sign again when the paint dries.

I love making personalized signs!

Thank you for having me on your blog today Sheila!!!

Mom Layout

2015-05-08T04:59:00.001-07:00

Our challenge at Frosted Designs is all about Mom!! You can celebrate your mom, you being a mom, your Aunt (or any other mom) or even a person who is not a mom but has awesome mom qualities!!!

My mom died in 1989 when I was 20. I am currently older than she got to be. My plan was to have a big birthday party (my birthday is Monday) to celebrate that I "made it" past her oldest age....now that my birthday is near, I am consumed with guilt. This really surprised me as these powerful emotions have been absent for almost 20 years.

I was avoiding this project and almost did a layout of my boys instead. But I went looking in the old photo albums and only found a few photos of just me and my mom. This photo is at my 6th birthday party. My mom always made our cakes - this year she made me a heart cake!

I added some handwriting and details on my page. I also used some buttons, lace and pearls. I don't usually use pink in my layouts, but I just loved the floral print paper.

I tucked these pretty flowers next to the photo.

I used the green paper to mat my photo - it was yellowing around the edges and white or cream washed out the photo.

I inked the pink doilies on my background and added a small strip of pink cardstock at the top. I used my Cameo to cut my title.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms, Grandmas, Step-Moms, and awesome mother figures!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Bling and Lace on a Glass Jar

2015-05-05T04:49:00.002-07:00

May is the season for Weddings and Graduations and right now glass jars are everywhere in table decorations!! Whether you buy a case of Mason Jars or recycle your own, you can make them sparkle with Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique!!

I took a pizza sauce jar and removed the label. I soaked the label in hot, soapy water until it peeled off. I then used rubbing alcohol to get the sticky residue off.

Last month I used the 21 from this cut (Tutorial Here) and today I am using the L.

I used painters tape to transfer the L to the front of the jar. I tied some lace to the top and added pearls inside. You could easily substitute tulle, jute or ribbon around the top depending on the look you want. Glass marbles or decorative rocks could be substituted for the pearls. A battery tea light or water and a flower could finish the look if you so desired!

Personalized Mother's Day Tea Towels

2015-05-03T20:32:00.001-07:00

Hello and Happy May! I am happy to be a Designer at She's A Sassy Lady today!

May is my favorite month!! It is the beginning of baseball, my birthday and Mother's Day. Today I have a fun Mother's Day project today.

Most of you know that I have an in-home daycare. I have the same kids for 5 years, so I try to do something different for Mother's Day every year. This year I bought a Heat Press and decided to make some very special personalized tea towels.

I had each of my children 2 and up color a picture with a marker. I scanned the picture on my printer and put it on a Silhouette virtual mat.

I traced the image and then made a mirror copy of it. The heat transfer vinyl carrier sheet stays in one piece so the vinyl goes on your mat shiny side (carrier) down.

I sized the images to be around 5 inches wide and put them on my mat.

I cut them out of black Heat Transfer Vinyl. I use the setting for smooth heat transfer vinyl and added a double cut.

I used my poker tool to weed the extra vinyl pieces out.

I pulled off the rest of the extra vinyl.

I pressed the tea towels for 3 seconds and then I folded the towel and pressed again for 3 seconds.

I placed the vinyl design on the center panel and pressed for 15 seconds. I flipped the towel over and pressed an additional 15 seconds.

The towel is ready!!!

Thank you Sheila for having me over today!! Happy Mother's Day to all of my mother, step-mother and like a mother friends!!!

3rd Place Layout (Let's Scrap Sketches)

2015-05-01T05:08:00.002-07:00

Happy May Day!!!! I love the month of May!! I get to celebrate my birthday and Mother's Day AND it is baseball season!!! Today starts another wonderful sketch challenge at Let's Scrap Sketches and I hope you join us!!!

My layout today has the highlights from Tanner's Battle of the Border photos from a tournament in April this year. The top 4 teams from state in Nebraska play the top 4 teams from state in Iowa. We took 3rd place. We went 3-1 and had the same record as the #2 team, but that was the team who beat us. I was very proud of our boys! We only had a few games before we had to face the toughest Iowa teams!

Here is our sketch. You can use one side or both. You can make a card, layout or off the wall project. I let my busy paper be the background and added a title and journal box.

Those that know me well, know I love handwriting on scrapbook pages! Your children always know your handwriting!!

I used my Cameo to cut my title.

The right page shows the team with their plaque. On the far right is my son kissing his plaque - what a clown!!!

Spring Challenge - Spring Baseball (of course)

2015-04-24T08:50:00.003-07:00

Today begins a brand new challenge at Frosted Designs - Spring! This can be a spring picture, spring in the title or an actual spring in your project!! Have some fun with it and join us HERE!

Of course being a baseball mom, spring means the beginning of baseball season. I used some photos of Tanner pitching in our Spring Tournament. The top 4 teams from Nebraska (as of state last July) played the top 4 teams from Iowa. We took 3rd place.

I inked the papers with two shades of brown (aka dirt color) and made the frame darker. I spritzed some gold mist on the background. I trimmed this Live the Life You Have Imagined and inked it up - I think Tanner is totally doing that right now!! I even tucked a burlap flower on!

I printed my title out using my Silhouette Studio and kraft cardstock.

I love how this one turned out and will frame it for now!! I hope you have a wonderful spring!!

Everything used is from Frosted Designs except Tim Holtz Distressed Inks and the kraft cardstock.

Finally 21 Wine Bling!

2015-04-21T05:08:00.001-07:00

Turning 21 is a much bigger (and blingier) deal now than it was when I turned 21 a few years ago. I have decorated wine glasses as well as shot book scrapbook pages for friends much younger than me! This wine glass is just perfect for the blingy girl on her big night!!!

I created this file using fonts on my computer and my Silhouette Studio. I cut out the finally in black 651 vinyl. The 21 is Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique that could be found HERE. The glitter is embedded into the vinyl and does not rub off! It is very sparkly too!!

When cutting glitter vinyl on the Cameo, I use the Vinyl setting and add a double cut. I cut several designs at once - the others you just may see later!!

Weeding is easy once you get a corner pulled up - I use my Cricut Dental Tool to poke the corner and pull it up.

Regular transfer tape and contact paper does not stick well to the glitter, so I use painter's tape instead.

I place it where I want it on the glass, burnish it with a scraper and slowly peel the tape off.

The result is just beautiful!! I always recommend hand washing my vinyl glasses!

Thanks and have a Blingy Day!!!

2nd Grade LO

2015-04-15T08:12:00.000-07:00

Today starts a new challenge at Let's Scrap Sketches!! I took Tanner's composite class photo from last year and finally got it scrapped!!

I used elements from both pages to make my one page layout.

I love using sketches as a guideline to creating my pages!

I made a banner out of wood pieces and twine. I also used the letters T M A (Tanner's initials) instead of the ribbons. He has been asking to write cursive since kindergarten!!!

I added a little heart because he loved his teacher so much!!!

I love how this tuned out! It is hard to match the flag background in the photo!

I hope you join us at Let's Scrap Sketches to get/stay caught up on your scrapbooks!!!

Tanner Spring Picture LO

2015-04-10T02:00:00.000-07:00

Today begins a brand new challenge at Frosted Designs - Splatter!! I watered down some brown acrylic paint and flicked it off the paint brush onto my paper. I also took some Dirty Martini Dylusions Ink and poured it in a cup. I took a paintbrush and flicked it on the paper.

I inked the photo mat and stapled a strip of burlap behind my picture.

This little journal card was perfect for this layout - this is his spring school photo!

I cut my title using my Silhouette Cameo with brown cardstock.

This layout was fun!! Boys are messy and I see lots of splatters in my house!!!
