Not really Crafty or Scrappy!

Hey Krafty peeps!!!!! So today is the Krafty scrappy challenge...... and I made something that's neither Crafty NOR scrappy! ha ha ha!

So, the premise here is to make something that is NOT a card.... and I DID do just that! This, my friends is...... CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I stamped and colored these sweet little gnomes from the Whimsical Gnomes set and adhered them to some clear acitate strips.  Then, I stuck those into the cake.  I decorated the rest of the cake using silk flowers and leaves to make them look like they were in their natural environment. 

For this challenge you can create ANYthing your little heart desires as long as it's NOT a card!!! Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages, holiday gifties, planner pages... you get the picture! Come play along with us each month and let's get some of those photo's out of boxes and on to something creative and fun!! You will have a whole month to play along and you can play as many times as you like! Here are a few things to remember...
THIS MONTH'S THEME: ANYTHING GOES!!!

Wait... NOT a card?

Every month there is a Krafty Scrappy challenge that is "anything but a card." We all know that I have a lot of trouble doing this.... like A LOT! I mean, I make cards, that 's what I do. So when you tell me to make something that 's not a card... I instantly question our friendship...... but....

Ok, so my second love, is my planner! Yeah I'm one of "those" people. I love the tangible.  I don't put dates and appointments and stuff like that in my phone, I like to have it on paper. .....DUHHHHH Jammie, you dork (yeah I call myself names), make a darn planner layout! Sheesh! 

Ok, so I used distress inks and a sponge with a stencil to make the could background.  I stamped the trolls on coloring card stock and colored them up all bright and fun to go with the colouds. I added some stickers and Washi tape, this is obviously BEFORE i wrote in everything that I have to do this week. But you get the idea! 

Here's the deets on the challenge:

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)

You're a Hoot

Here's my creation with these little cuties:

I simply took a craft tag and tied some twine on it, then I stamped and colored my image and fussy cut it out...I adhered it to the tag and did the same with the sentiment, done and done! Super quick and super simple, and SUPER cute! 

I think that this will make a super cute teacher's gift for back to school! I hope that my son's teacher just loves it. 

Ok so you know the drill by now, hop around to all the blogs listed below and then don't forget to go to the release party on Facebook! I'll see ya all there! Tootles!

So cute!
