Some fun and easy projects that I made using sequins and confetti by http://www.katscrappiness.com.
I love creating shaker tags and before I left for London a few weeks ago, I decided to create a fun luggage tag. It held up quite nicely and survived 2 international trips so far! I love making unique projects.
Here are the photos of the project but I also have a video available for you below where I showed all of the projects I made and a process video for the bookmark. I hope you get inspired:

Here is how I decorated my planner this week. I also used an older JLO Planner Stamp Set (which is one of my all-time favorite).
Here is a card that I made using the bicycle and a digital stamp by JLO. This is a motivational card.
Last but not the least, here are two fun shaker tags that I made using the cute veggies. I had so much fun creating this week.
The stamps are now available for purchase at http://www.jessicalynnoriginal.com or through http://www.amazon.com.

Some cards I designed recently showcasing stamp sets by CC Designs and The Greeting Farm, as well as dies by MFT Stamps. The sequins I’ve used are from http://www.katscrappiness.com.
Here is the process video for the shaker card:
The time has come to start the design team season with a bunch of digital stamps from JessicaLynnOriginal. Jessica (owner and artist) had drawn some amazing beautiful stamps for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are into cutesy designs, serious or just a nature-lover, Jessica has everything for you. For more details, please check out all of the new digital stamps at www.jessicalynnoriginal.com. For those of you who love to start creating Christmas cards early and getting it out of the way, you are in luck! Download it and keep your little ones busy by coloring and crafting with them. By the time summer is over you will not only be thankful that you started your cards early, but you would be creating some great memories with your children!
I honestly struggle designing realistic cards. I’ve always been a fun of cute stamps so I naturally picked the stamps that were more “my style”. Here are the 3 Christmas card samples I have for all of you. I hope you love them:
The last card inspired me to do a Thank You card for a teacher. My children were lucky enough to have had amazing teachers in the past. For me, teachers are super heroes. They do amazing work to sharpen the minds of our children and inspire them to do greater things and most often, they are completely unappreciated! If your child has or had a great teacher, show him or her how much you appreciate them. My daughter has a great relationship with her past teachers and is now finishing her degree in a year to become one.
I am currently in London with my family by the time this post goes live. If you have any questions about the stamps or would like to know more about the upcoming events with JLO and the design team, please head on over to Jessica’s Blog (www.jessicalynnoriginal.net). Jessica is also offering special rates if you’d like to buy all of the digital stamps. Please also join the Facebook group to win prizes this weekend and tag a friend. 2 lucky winners will win a $15 gift certificate to Jessica’s store. Jessica will announce the winner on July 5th at 8:00 a.m.
Happy crafting and have an amazing weekend!
Here is the process video if you’d like to see how I made the cards:
Hello everyone! Today’s cheerful card is for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog hop. I was super excited when I found out that there is going to be another hop and of course I just had to participate.

This image is currently free for download at Jessica’s website and if you’d like to get your own copy, here is the link: http://www.jessicalynnoriginal.com/limited-edition-instant-download-jessicalynnoriginal-coms-brentwood-owl-good-days-start-with-coffee-digital-rubber-stamp/
I love coffee and I love making shaker cards! So here is my card. Isn’t Brentwood adorable?! I used 6 mm white diamonds sequins and pink star confetti from http://www.katscrappiness.com/?aff=21. Check out Kat’s sequins and confetti at her shop. They’re all so sparkly and beautiful!
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Father’s Day is just around the corner. My daughter is staying with us for the summer and as she discuss her plans of making my husband his favorite coconut cream pie on Sunday, I decided that this is the perfect time for me to make him a Father’s Day card.
I recently went crazy with my Lawn Fawn Summer release order and I have been dying to use the Dad & Me stamp set. I wanted to create a scene with snow-capped mountains in the background. It reminds me of our summer trip in Washington in 2003. We stayed at Silver Lake Resort. The cabin was pretty basic but the view was just breathtaking. The card I made below represents my husband, my son and my daughter fishing in the lake.
My husband taught my children how to fish. He also taught me, but fishing is not my cup of tea! Just the whole process of putting bait on the hook creeps me out so I sit there and watch while they all fish. I was the sunscreen police! They can fish for hours! I can close my eyes right now and still see their cute little faces light up when their little fishing line starts to wiggle!
Here is the card. I decided to make a shaker card because I wanted the little fishes to move around below with the blue cotton candy sequins from http://www.katscrappiness.com/?aff=21. I think shaker cards are so much fun!
