Hi!  This is Lynda and I want to welcome you to the Scraps To Treasure Team's Monochromatic Blog Hop.  Our goal at STT is to use up all our scraps and leftover embellishments to create wonderful layouts, cards and other projects.  This month we are doing that using different shades of only one color.

     I have no idea how long I have been blogging, this was my first one...since then, I have 2 more that are not scrapbook/crafting related!  During the course of the next few months - there will be a few changes here - my web site will be revamped, a new Etsy shop opened, and the blog will be moved to the new site!  I am excited for the changes, and look forward to see how things are for my family at the end of the year!!!         So, thank you for the continued support - while I had to take some time off for me!  I discovered I am a lot like my sister, where we both just don't talk a lot when we have things that are bothering us, we internalize more than anything.  I feel so blessed this year - a relationship with her, and starting to heal with family...blessed beyond measure for sure!  That said, I am showing a simple Thank You card today - with a bit of a challenge to you and me both!!!    First the idea's...

Layout sketch Card sketch I love sketches because you can truly do many different things to them, and either change them around a bit or using the sketch exactly as you see it.   Simply52  designers blog gives you different ideas from different designers to show you ways you can use the sketches that are showcased!  I like to put them on the sketches side to get a totally different look to the card I am creating!  This one would be fun like that! With my idea today, I used scraps from another project I was working on for my classes at Michael's.  I hate to throw things away, so for me, using my leftover scrapbook supplies saves me a lot of money...and helps me to be able to make one of a kind cards for my friends and family! For the card shown here - I used a card base for the background, simple strips of leftover scraps in the colors that match the background, and then a simple circle Sizzix die cut made.  After I attached the c...

Card #1            Ok, I understand.....today is Halloween and I am showing you a Thanksgiving card!!!  Well, if you are like me, you need a bit of time to get the supplies put together AND/OR the time to do it!!!  Well, here's another fun idea to put on your list of things to make!!!!  Each of these cards were made with scraps of paper - so lets get started!     Card #2 Supplies needed:   Card base Scraps of paper  Thanksgiving related stamps Black embossing ink pad Black embossing powder Chalks Brads Directions:   Step one:  Get your card base, set aside to add each of the steps to it.   Step two:  Using the scraps of paper, (starting with the brown), add the top piece to card #2.  The leftover piece from the top I used for the middle of card #1.  Add to the card base with adhesive.   Step three:  Take your pumpkin (or Thanksgiving related stamp) and get it st...

This card was a lot of fun to do - using only purple and green for the colors, from a recent Guest Design spot I was in!  From the extra's left over, I made this!   Supplies needed:   Card base  Scraps of paper Stamps - 1 picture, 1 saying Black ink pad (embossable) Black and clear embossing powder Radiant Pearls paint - purple, green, orange, brown, white Directions: Step one:  Cut the base for the card - this is where everything is added. Step two:  Take the white scrap of paper, start to stamp the saying all across the paper.  Add to the purple cardstock base.   Step three:  Create the witch using the black ink pad and black embossing powder.  After this has been heated, then use the radiant pearls paint to paint in the image.  Add clear embossing powder to the painted image and heat.  (You can also use chalks, markers, etc., to paint in the image.)  Step four:  After you have trimmed the image to ...

     This is the sketch for the week for Simply52 -  my project is a fun Christmas card to put away in my stash to send out to people this year!  I am also playing with some fun note-card's out of scraps for this fun sketch, so I hope you come back to see what else I have added to this page!!!!   Supplies needed:   Card base Christmas theme paper (scraps are perfect) Scraps of paper Stamp saying  Red ink pad good for embossing Embossing powder Heat gun Ribbon Button Directions: Step one:  Cut the card base for the base of the card.   Step two:  Cut two strips of the polka dot paper for the top and side, place down with adhesive of your choice.   Step three:  Cut the green Ho Ho paper and add it to the top of the side piece with your adhesive of choice.   Step four:  Using your red ink pad, ink the stamp you have chosen, adding the embossing powder to the top of the stamp...
