FAKE ACCOUNT - SCAM ALERT

If you happen to search for Creative Mayhem in Google, you may have come across this account. You also may have been very confused because I do not have 3 boys nor do I make and sell things.

If you look closely, they even posted THIS BLOG as their website address.

IT'S A SCAM!

I have asked Facebook to remove this account and the reference to my "older" blog as this is NOT me.

So please be aware that this is a FAKE account using my blog name and my blogger URL.

If you see this, please report it to Facebook. Maybe if more people report it, it will get a little bit more attention.

You can find me at my REAL Facebook page at:

Remember the Moments	Pictures Framed
Don't be Wishy Washi	What a Week

-------------------------------------------

One of the great things about these stamps is not only do they make great cards but they can also be used in your Project Life albums as well.

As soon as I saw these designs, I knew I wanted to use them in my Project life album!
 

I first started with my weekly card using the small polkadot from the Don't be Wishy Washi set to anchor my diecut. That is my all-time favorite of the washis! 


I also used the round frame and Those moments when sentiment from the Remember the Moments set.


The I created my mat for my first photo using the solid photo frame from the Pictures Framed  set.

It was so fun making the various cards and accents I was using for this week. Here are a bunch of them I made up ahead of time.  

 

  

Here are some pictures of my journaling and each card:

Holiday Card and Gift Blitz

At The Rubber Café today . . .

As I was sitting down to plan my Christmas cards this year, I really wanted to do something “Outside the Box” so I challenged myself to make this year's holiday cards without any of the traditional materials . . or at last as few of them as possible.

 

By using items that I wouldn't normally use for Christmas, it allowed me to be more creative. I love using products in totally different ways than what is expected.

I used the fun Stamping with Glue technique using the Pattern Royale Background Stamp from The Rubber Café along with You’re So Fine Glitter in Diamond Cool Clear Highlight, to create this artsy background. I also used some white paint splatters for my “snow” to give it some interest.

I hope I’ve inspired you to “think” outside the box when making this year’s holiday cards. Would love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Enjoy.  

Supplies Used:

Stamps: The Rubber Cafe  Pattern Royale Background Stamp
Paper: Watercolor Paper
Inks: Pugnacious Signature, Cream
Adhesives: Scrap Happy Sheer Girl Big Girl Bottle, 4 oz, One and Only Tape  
Embellishments: You’re So Fine Glitter in Bronze Medal, Silver Medal,  Diamond Cool Clear Highlight, Jellie Dots in Holly Berry Red
Tools: Sewing Machine, yellow thread
