Happy Spring, tattoo inspired handmade card

I have a little secret... I love tattoo art.  It may NOT be for everyone, but I love what an artist can draw - on human skin even!  A friend of mine is an AMAZING tattoo artist and we were discussing her doing art on paper for people as well. (I even ordered a piece of art from Katelyn Crane and you can also!) It's funny, here, as Mother Goose and Tattoos combine to create a cute Fable Friends handmade Easter card!

Fable Friends Mother Goose Spring handmade card inspired by Tattoo Art GettingCrafty.net

 The art that was often featured in Old Mother Goose books always enthralled me - as a child until now.  I LOVE that Stampin' Up! created the most beautiful childlike whimsical art, much like the Victorian Children's books written.
****
~  Cutting the Balmy Blue card stock to 3" x 4-1/2", the Crumb Cake card stock to 3-1/4" x 4-3/4".
~  Stamping the Momma goose and babies in Stazon black ink on the Balmy Blue.
~  Using the Watercolor Pencils in Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay and (my hero of the watercolor pencil collection) Whisper White!
~  Add sparkle and blend the color (cleaning the tip between each color use) with Clear Wink of Stella.
TOOL TIP:  Any use of 'coloring' with the likes of Wink of Stella, Blender Pens, Aqua Painters, etc - keep on hand a cleaning 'junk' napkin to clean the tip in-between each color to avoid muddling.

 I had fun with a variety of looks, the 'rain' of our adhesive backed Rhinestone Jewels or adding a Sun.
***
DON'T FORGET:  The OUTSIDE of the card is a great way to give a 'sneak peak' of what will be inside... and the INSIDE of the card continues the joy with little time or effort!

Here is some fun 'math' for you...

Wild about you teacher appreciation card

Teachers are such blessings!  They love on and care for, enrich and educate our minions.  I'm blessed to adore our teachers who we trust to help in educating our kids.  This year our youngest is at preschool.  So on Teacher Appreciation week we show her that we are 'wild' about her, that she is 'above the rest' with this Pinterest Copy! 

I do love my Pinterest (isn't this card the cutest??)!  Here with our Hello Honey and Early Espresso ink pad, our Aqua Painters and Very Vanilla card stock - this cute Giraffe hand-print art card comes to life!

With four kids in school this year, room mom to two of them, I'm hopping all over town this week!  See the lovely posts this week and Join Us at our upcoming card class this Thursday!

Photos on my iPhone

I'm a mom of 6, own my own business, as well as work for Trend Graphics in Shirt Design and Printing, have a gaggle of kids and pets, a passion for crafting, coffee, wine and fashion - not in that order... so my iPhone is a work horse!  I live on my phone.  It's crazy!!  So when I look to do something with the photos in my phone - I wasn't surprised to see that I have over 7,000 photos, 67 videos - not to mention my Instagram pictures, Facebook and Pinterest screen shots - lol. 

See how I get those photos OFF my Iphone and into our family Memory Celebrating books, all while on a budget!  I hope that you enjoy this friendly tip - it saves my life and prints our memories for me!

Groovebook.  It's an amazing App that is on all smart phones.  I discovered this while watching Shark Tank.  I love that it's local to our area in Southern California, it's only $2.99 a month/book, easy to use, fast in it's turn around and it takes those photos from my Iphone and makes them an actual photo!!  My kids love taking their memories and adding them to their books.  I love taking these memories and actually getting them into books to be relived, shared and cherished.  

WHY Do I LOVE Groovebook??

(A) I can select as 100 photos per book with ease from the App on my Iphone.

(B) It is only $2.99 a book.

(C) You can print multiple images of your selections - so 10 of one image in a book - as long as you don't exceed the 100 photos.

(D) You can print multiple books but a minimum of one book a month - this gets me motivated to upload at least that each month - for less than a cup of coffee!

(E) You can edit right from your phone and then order them to be printed!!

(F) The images come in a book that holds the photos together while it can easily be removed from the book.

(G) The images are Date and Location stamped and that is perforated and can be folded behind or torn off!!

Take this FREE First Book (I get absolutely NOTHING for this referral but YOU Score a Free Book to try it out!).  You can select 40 to 100 photos and print as many photo books as you want (just 'close another book' - each are only $2.99 and FREE Shipping!!). 

NO JOKE... OK So my life is busy and I'm always meaning to download the pictures from my iphone but it rarely happens.  Having the images printed means that I won't lose these important memories.  

When my kids come home and need a picture for school, bible study, church, or just to add them to their own Memory Celebrating Books... these are printed and at hand - ready to go!  Super MOM to the rescue - lol.

I adore our Project Life system to get these photos into books - the pages take me mere minutes to assemble!!  My kids do their own books and it's a great way for them to relive, highlight and focus on our blessings.  Join Me - See how scrapbooking has evolved into something that allows me to LIVE My Life... with Project Life by Stampin' Up!

I print these book for family members after a gathering - this way they will have the printed images of our time together.  I can hand-pick the pictures that they want and I don't have to wait in line - or over pay!!  Try it out - I've used this App for over a year and I LOVE it!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Please Share and Like this.. and JOIN ME in our Memory Celebrating Monday posts on my blog to our Memory Documenting events!
