This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Wandy from Green Apple Scrapper.

Hi there, My name is Wanda Pizarro, a.k.a. Wandy the "Green Apple Scrapper!".  I wasn't always known as the "Green Apple Scrapper".  It all started in 2008 when I had my daughter. Mekayli, now 4 years old.  My sis in law invited me to her friend's house to "scrap" and I tagged along.  As she's getting set up, her friend shows me album after album full of scrap-booked pics of her and her family and I just fell in love!  I told her "I'm going to make one for my daughter!!" and so I did!

My first scrapbook was of my Baby Shower and then moved on to my daughter and all her milestones.  Not to mention all the ones yet to come.

I still have a lot of work to do as I take ba-gillion pictures (just made that up...lol).  I have this passion for paper crafts and I enjoy putting the pieces together to create my own master-piece. For some day my kids to enjoy... and probably say "Geez, mom is a paper hoarder...lol!"

I currently design for Cheryl @ Creative Kuts Chicas!  And I must say, at first it's a little intimidating to create along side women who have been crafting for years, compared to my few years.  Totally felt like a rookie.  But once I got to know them, they really helped me and shared tips and ideas... and most of all they are sweethearts and a pleasure to work with!  Through my time in this DT they have really become Sisters!!

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I was recently certified at Michael's (my job) to teach scrap-booking classes!!  Which I am UBBER EXCITED ABOUT!!!  My first crop night is this Saturday!  AHHH I can hardly wait!  I'm looking forward to sharing my art, passion and most of all what I love to do!


 Here's a few of my projects



Hope you like them as much as I liked putting them together!  Visit my blog Green Apple Scrapper to keep up with everything Green Apple.  Check out my Facebook Fan Page also called Green Apple Scrapper.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Pam, MzLavr2's Creations

Hello all!  For those of you who don’t know me, I am Pam of MzLavr2’s Creations. I've been crafting for most of my life and fell in love with paper at an early age.  As a teen in the 80s my sister and I walked a few miles from our home to go to Target to look at stationary products.  That was a while before the scrapbooking explosion.

In my 20s I was at work and an employee brought in a Creating Keepsakes magazine (Thanks Stacy!).  I was instantly hooked! I went to Michael’s right after work and bought all kinds of fun stuff!  Through the years I have worked scrapbooking into several relationships, bringing the joy and passion for paper into the lives of those around me.  In 2003 I gave up all my supplies and a lot of other things, packed my car and drove from California to Maine.  I took some time off from crafting for a few months. 

Six months after moving I met my wonderful husband.  A year later he showed me that he understood my need to craft when my Christmas present was a red Sizzix device.  He went to a craft store on his own to pick something up for me.  He asked for help and was told to get that. Of course, the day after Christmas we had to go shopping because he did not get me any dies.   The following spring he drove me 3 hours one way (5 the other because he got lost) to go to a convention.  There I saw the Wishblade machine.  I knew I needed one but had no idea how to afford such a luxury.  So it went to the back of my mind.  Some time later a friend showed me their Cricut.  I was not sure I wanted one but was interested in what it did.  Finally a friend talked me into buying one on sale.  Luckily, that was before the loss of access to Sure Cuts A lot.  I bought the machine and came home and bought the program. 

That begins the journey to my current crafting.  I got a Silhouette Cameo a year ago as a birthday gift from my supportive hubby.  Now I cut and craft almost daily.  I am currently on a few design/creative teams. I work with Jen Balding from Girl Boy Girl designs, she does wonderful
digi-scrap kits and some great hybrid templates also known as cutting files. Jen has also started a new line I am working with called This Chick Cuts.  They are all cutting files and she has some great ones!  Once a month I create a project for the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge Blog.  I work with a great group of crafty ladies there as well.  Twice a month I create some inspiration for the Creative Cutting Challenge Blog, with another group of wonderful crafty ladies! 

This year I started working with another group of fun people making projects for the Cuttin & Stampin Challenge blog. I also started working with Jessi at My Life in Arts’ n Crafts to help
promote her Etsy store where she sells some fun embellishments.  Last year I joined 2 teams that do monthly blog hops. I hop with the Krazy Crafting Crew and the Scraps to Treasures group.  In my “spare time" I parent 3 teenage daughters, two of my own and one is a foreign exchange student from Vietnam.  I am also a stay at home mom to our 2 year old puppy Dottie. 

Today I have a quick and sweet card I made for my Daughter’s 14th Birthday.  I used scraps from my abundant stash and added a small pearl to it, these pearls are available from Miriam’s crafting supplies at a super price!  The cut file used for the gift on my card is from the Silhouette store.

~Blog Candy Alert~

Miriam's Crafting Supplies is giving away 10 sets of pearls or rhinestones of the winner's choice.  Miriam's Crafting Supplies is an Arts and Crafts Supply Store.  She enjoys shopping for wholesale crafting supplies and then passes the good deals on to others!  They have lots of pretty and useful supplies.  Take a look at her page.  If you would like to
place an order, just comment on the items listed in the photo albums of her facebook page or send her a private message!

1. You must be or become a new follower of Deezy Does It! and the spotlighted blogger MzLavr2's Creations
2. Leave a comment under this post (one comment per person).

Friday Crafty Pimp-Out Opportunity

Hello my crafty ladies!

I would like to start a weekly "showcase" blog hop of a crafters blog.  This will showcase a project a week by the selected showcased blogger.  It will include a "pimp my blog" section for all those who stop by to not only check the showcased blogger but to also get followers by adding your own blog link through the linkytools section.  All free, of course.  Who would be interested in doing this on a weekly basis?  Let me know if you would be interested.  This will generate traffic to your blogs! :-)

It would be hosted from Deezy Does It! Blog.  I'm working on the write up now.  If you'd like to be showcased please email me a write up about yourself and/or your project as well as the pictures by submission day, which will be Wednesdays to rayzn.kane020406@gmail.com.  If more than one is submitted for the week I'll start creating a list (calendar) on who goes when and let that person know when they will be "showcased".  If we have a submission by this Wednesday, we will roll it out this week.

I'm looking for someone to sponsor their time and imagination to create a button for the weekly showcasing blog hop. 

Will be looking for sponsors for "blog candy".  If you would like to become a sponsor for this amazing project, please feel free to e-mail me details.

Excited to work with everyone!!!
XX XO!
