IamRoses Wedding Guest Book


I made this guest book for a lady here in my little town.  She didn't know what she wanted but did know she wanted a certain kind of paper.  I couldn't find the paper but loved this one when I showed it to her.  The arrangement of the flowers are from Iamroses.com, the bling is Recollections and the Love and locket key are from Hobby Lobby bridal section.  The flower trim you can get on lots of Etsy sites like Pro31 Designs(formally known as Twinsmom).  The first page is always the name and date, then two pages of pictures.  The wedding guest book section, the second section is for the gifts, third is bridal showers the last is family and bridal party.  She gave this to her daughter for Christmas and she loved them.  Thanks Hugs Robbin
Hi, Crafters.  I made these little Christmas treat bags for the workers at our local bank.  The ladies in the bank  always chat with me about crafts.  It is a little treat for the bosses so the girls can chat,  LOL  JK!!!  The left is the ladies and I used 12 days of Christmas paper.  The left was for the 3 guys and racking my brain for the paper name.  Sorry!!!  I have a video on my Youtube channel, Crazedcrafter.  I'm putting together a give away for hitting 500 subscribers.  Thanks Robbin

This is a composition book I covered.  Every thing you see where cut using www.MFTstamps.com
Die-namic dies. The yellow border is the Solid Bracket border, the Hawkeyes is on the File Tab, the flag is from the Mini Pennant die, the Fancy Flourish, Rolled Flower, Rolled Rose, the Loopy Bloom and Prima Donna Petals dies.  I am sorry to my Nebraska friend and family for making this Iowa book.  I do live just south of Iowa City.  They bought it pretty fast at the craft show.  Thanks Robbin Hugs

Fancy Framed Name Layout


I had seen this some where awhile back and had been wanting to make it.  I surprised my husband with it.  He loves it.  I am so glad I bought my Gypsy it made it so much easier to lay out.  I put each one on a layer to lay them out perfectly.  The button #13 cutting it at 5" high with the Lacy Label Lite Cartridge. I used the Cursive 101 cartridge cutting the font out at 1".  The top right is a collection of mixed brown 1" and curly roses from www.IamRoses.com  The bottom left is wood shavings.  There is a weekend event every year in Mt. Pleasant Iowa call Old Threshers.  There are different demo you can watch.  We went to the wood working one and collected a bag of the wood shavings.  My husband was not thrilled about me taking them home. "What are you going to used them for"  I said not sure but I have to have them.  Well here they are with a few leaves from Iamroses.  I am going to find the most perfect place to put this.  Thanks Hugs Robbin

This is the cutest coffin cut from the Cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I cut it at 6.25".  It cuts a couple tops I did the plain one.  I stamped the web on it and sponge the edges with ink.  The Hershey nuggets are great aren't them.  The stamp is from Stampin Up's Holiday stamps made just for the nuggets.  I couldn't figure out what color to use so I did the three.  FAB, Thanks Robbin HUGS XOXO


These cards I designed for my first card class.  They loved them.  I used the Cricut  Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I cut the tree at 3.25", the ghost at 1.5 & 1.75.  The grave was 4.25 WIDE.  I think I did a great job making it dimensional.  The center one I only used paper from American Crafts "Boo" collection.  The kids were a border on paper and the orange strip was the back of the paper.  The stamp set I have had forever.   The Headless Horseman is very cool.  I cut him at 3.25 I think.  I added more grass after the picture.  The Spooky was cut at 2".  Thanks for stopping Robbin HUGS

Sisterhood Birthday card

My girl Tanya is an outdoor hunt, cameo and shot guns kinda girl.  We laugh how she buys her purse only if her gun fits and mine have to be pretty.  We are so opposite with so much but we have the greatest friendship.  I will share more in a minute.  I made this 5x5 card starting with a Kraft card base.  the used my wood grain Tim Holtz embossing folder with brown paper, inked the edges with vintage photo.  I added a small strip of pebble paper to the bottom.  the large butterfly is from a K&Co light weight wood embellishments, then cut a Zva Creations bling, stamped HB and layered that on the pebble paper. then added Iamroses skeleton leaves K1-805 / Z
and some cream Cherry blossoms S3--153 and some two tone brown S10. It wouldn't be complete with out butterflies from Matha's punch.  The cabochon butterfly in the bottom corner is from Recollections. This card is so Tanya.  She loved it!!!


  The Sisterhood, L to R Stacy~Lesle~Aubree~Me ~Tanya.  We had so much fun this night.  Tanya's son came home from Iraq so It was a huge party.  We had the t-shirts designed, "Sisterhood Forever".  I went to Burger King for the crowns.  Then designed each crown to match our personality.  I added embellishments to each but left room to add whatever as time goes on.   Thank you for stopping by.  HUGGS, Robbin!!!
