Simple Wedding Card - I'm Back!

Hey everyone! Well! I might have my creative mojo back! I'm feeling excited about creating and ready to make a post. I created this simple wedding card about a month back. Here are the details:

Rings cut from Designer's Calendar

Stamp from Pink By Design's Vintage Greetings

Flower and brad from Hobby Lobby

Paper from Boho Chic Stack by The Paper Studio

I like using this cut on wedding cards, because it offers tons of creative possibilities with the ribbon. I usually color it in. If I know the wedding's colors, I usually do the card in that scheme. Otherwise, I just go with what I have.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I'm glad to be back! Have a wonderful Friday, everyone! ~Emma

For my project today, I created a set of 4x4 note cards. These cards include all the elements of the song. I drew on the little faces on the cuts. For the tag that is stamped on, I used Once Upon a Princess. The rainbow and heart with wings are from Create-a-Critter. I used Maraschino twine from The Twinery to wrap across and break up the straight lines.

Irish Doggie Card

Hello everyone! Welcome back to KatelynCo! I have just recently begun to think about St. Patrick's Day, so I decided to make a card. I had so much fun with this card. I hope you enjoy the video! :) ~Emma

Simple yet Elegant Wedding Card

Hello everyone!! Today, I wanted to share a wedding card that I made. It was so simple to make. I used silver glitter paper from Die Cuts with a View Glitter Stack. The patterned paper is just white paper stamped repeatedly with silver ink. The rings were just cut in gray paper and I used a burgundy (to match the base) marker to color the ribbon. I also used glitter glue to make the diamond stand out. I can't remember where I got the sentiment stamp. :) I hope you all have a great day and I hope to have inspired you today!! ~Emma

The 8th Day of Christmas - Envelope Mini Album

Hello everyone! Sorry this post is late. I was trying to get this album done in time to share yesterday, but it wasn't quite quick enough. So today, you get 2 days in one. :) I am making three of these mini albums for the grandparents in my families. I covered all of the envelopes with the pattern paper. After making the covers with cardboard covered with paper, I took it too Office Depot to get it bound. Then the fun part - DECORATING!!! LOL! For the cover, I used Once Upon a Princess for the word 'Grandkids' and Storybook for the year.

For this page, I used Boys will be Boys for the basketball hoop. And I used Blackletter for the first time ever! I used it for the name and for the 's' on the hoop. The 's' stands for 'Spartans'. :)

This page is one of my favorites. I used Indie Art for the heart. The name is cut from Storybook. Because the top layer ripped slightly, I added silver glitter (not Stickles :D) to cover that. :)

This is my page. :) Isn't it cute. I cut the bow from Once Upon a Princess. Since I used gray for the dots, I decided to add glitter to make it look like silver. My name is cut from All Mixed Up.

This page is for an army obsessed boy. :) The tank is cut from Boys Will be Boys. The name is from the Designer's Calendar font. 

This last page is also one of my favorites. I cut the butterfly from Create-a-Critter. The name is from Printing Press. I had to make sure there was room for the bird. :D

This book acts as a scrapbook, but it also acts as a photo album. What grandparents don't have tons of pictures of their grandkids, especially those little wallets. :) The envelope part of this book is to store those for each person named. I hope you enjoyed this (late) project. :D Come back soon for my guest designer Sandra! :D ~Emma

2nd day of Christmas

Hello everyone! Today I am participating in My Pink Stamper's Challenge while giving you Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas. This challenge was to use a non - Christmas cartridge to create something Christmas-y. :) So here's what I came up with:

I used Designer's Calendar for the music notes. For the double note I used my Gypsy to weld them together. I went a little crazy with the ink. :) LOL! The snowflakes are from Christmas/Noel cartridge. I tried to do snowflakes from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge, but those kept ripping. The sentiment is computer generated. You can hardly tell from the picture, but the snowflakes are glittery. :) Come back tomorrow for Day 3. :) ~Emma

Back to School Scrapbook page

Hi everyone!! Since it is so close to fall/the end of summer/ first day of school, I thought that I would make a scrapbook page. I even have a photo in mind for it. The photo would go on the notebook paper page. I planned all of this out on my Gypsy, so I'm not positive of the sizes.

Recipe:
Apple - Create-a-Critter
Worm - Create - Critter
Pencil - Smiley Cards
Stars welded for border - George and basic shapes
Notebook page cut - Printing 101
'Back2School' phrase - Designer's Calendar
Star paper - All Seasons II sack from Hobby Lobby
Notebook paper - regular school paper :)

I plan to add journaling by the pencil. I personally LOVED making this layout and I hope you enjoyed it too. FYI, we are 7 fans away from 50 on Facebook, so I will do a challenge giveaway for that when we hit that mark. Check out the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KatelynCo.EKS. Thanks for all your support!! ~Emma

Facebook Only Project!!

I couldn't get by with not giving you any projects for 2 weeks. On Facebook at the KatelynCo fan page there is a picture of a project in the album 'Wall Photos'. Click the 'Like' button at the top of the page and you will be able to see it. Also if we get to 25 fans by the end of this month (We'll say it's July :D) there will be a surprise giveaway available to all the fans!! So recommend us to your friends!! Thanks!! ~Emma

Smile Watermelon card

This is challenge number 8 (create something with a summer theme) and project number 9. This card I made using a Cricut die cut that I haven't used very much, if at all. Even though you can't see it very well, the sentiment says 'Smile'. I love summer, even though I don't love watermelon. I love the swimming and the warmth (if it is not hot). This was a very fun card to make, and I will enjoy sending it. :-) Come back for more soon!! ~Emma

Challenge 7 - Soda Guzzler

This was challenge number 7 (make a scrapbook page) and project 8. This scrapbook layout is a funny one. I love this picture of my sister when she was young, guzzling down soda. I created the Coca - Cola element myself. I just love how all the pastel colors were pulled from her scarf and the rest were in the picture as well. Come back for my next project in a little while!! ~Emma

My Journey mini album

Welcome to the 4th project for challenge number 3. I was supposed to make something breast cancer related. Now I do not have any close relations that have breast cancer. So I am going to give this away. At the end of all of these NSD posts send me an email, entering all of the giveaways I post. The deadline to enter will be next Saturday (May 14th, 2011). I will draw the winner that day. Come back for the next project!! ~Emma

Manly Card

Here is project number 3 and challenge number 2. The challenge was to make something for a man/boy with kraft cardstock. I made a manly card with kraft cardstock. When I think of kraft cardstock, I think of cardboard color. And that is what this is. The sentiment says 'Get yur gun! The Hunting Dogs are waitin'!' If you are wondering why this has taken me so long, it is because I did not have access to my computer until now. So there will be a lot of blog posts in the next couple of minutes. :0) Keep coming back - there's a lot more to come. ~Emma

Birthday Set

Sorry this blog post is rather (really) late. This blog post is something new for me. I am attending a birthday party for my friend Sunday, so I made a matching set of gifts. A card, a set of cards for her to use (the topper matches) and a gift card holder to hold the gift card I got her. It was my first time trying a circle card and the scalloped scallops made it even more difficult. The second picture shows how the gift card holder works. It is a match box. I hope you had a great day!! I'll be seeing you tomorrow! ~Emma

Fall Window Card

I made this cool window card a while back in the fall. I just used some scraps from a different card that I made and it turned into something really cool (for scraps that is)! I had never really tried window cards before so this was rather new to me. Just so you know, I will be posting something new either tomorrow or the next day so be sure to check it out.
