This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase is a little different.  I have been showcasing different types of blogs created by some awesome ladies since February and I figured it was time to tell you a little about me, aka Deezy from Deezy Does It! 

Hi there!!  My name is Wanda Hornung, a.k.a. Deezy from “Deezy Does It!”.  I am a mother of a beautiful yet fearless 7 year old boy, Branden. 



My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been together for 19 yrs (married 13).

I first got into crafting right after we purchased our first home.  My husband just said “Let’s get what you need”.  I still have the receipt of everything we bought, which it is ½ faded.    

3 years later and I have one small corner in the Carolina Room.  I own three die cutting machines to help with my crafting, a Cricut Expression and 2 Cricut Imagine, with about 40-50 cartridges.  My specialties are 3-D items and cards and as of recently personalized anything.  I have yet to master creating lay-out pages for scrapbooks, but do dab a bit in it (and by bit I mean very little).

Cards created for very special moms this year

File template is from svg attic

Personalized items

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to BreAnne Lee from The Pinspired Mom .

Hello, Hello!! My name is BreAnne Lee and have become known as The Pinspired Mom in the blogging world. I am the wife to an amazing man who works his butt off at Halliburton so that I can stay home with our three beautiful daughters. They are 8 years old, 4 years old, and 7 months old, and quite honestly the coolest kids I know. Up until a year ago we lived on the Western Slope of Colorado, but now reside in Houston, Texas.

Before we moved, I was not exactly the best housewife (Then again, who is?) But, I rarely cooked, hated to clean, and just had no desire to do household chores that needed to be done. I would let things pile up and do them all right before company came over or right before my husband came home from a month long hitch working overseas. Then we made the decision to move, and my husband no longer went away for months at a time. About the same time I was introduced to the treasure trove of ideas that is Pinterest.

I became a pinning addict!! I started with kids activities and crafts, then moved on to recipes, and then cleaning tips, followed by pregnancy and baby stuff, which of course resulted in the fitness pins for after baby, and at this point, I pretty much pin everything. I have such a wide range of pin boards that I can find an answer to pretty much any need that may arise. You can see my Pinterest boards and follow me here. And because of the wide range of pins and inspiration, I have become a better housewife and stay at home mom. I cook dinner most nights (usually, a recipe I've found on Pinterest), the house is so much tidier and cleaner that it was before we moved, and my girls and I do so many more crafts and fun activities. I am truly Pinspired.

I began blogging about my trials and errors of Pinterest and motherhood right around the time my youngest daughter was born. Life with three kids and not knowing many people in the area (which has changed since I first started blogging), resulted in the creation of my blog, The Pinspired Mom . I use it as an outlet for my thoughts and hopefully as inspiration for others. I share my pin fails and successes and blog about my family's adventures and projects. Hopefully you'll come join me! I can be found at The Pinspired Mom, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and of course Pinterest.

~Give-A-Way~

Now, I suppose y'all want to know what's being given away?? Well, I'll tell you! I don't advertise it very often, but I do make and sell custom jewelry. I did this prior to moving to Texas, but it has been sidelined except for custom orders. But I have a necklace and earring set, that has been created just for you fine folks! I hope y’all like it! And if you decide you're interested in purchasing something (assuming you don't win or you want something different), just send me a message and we will work together to create what you're looking for at a price that fits yours budget :)

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Tammy from Life-Up, Down and Sideways.

Hello Everyone, this is Tammy from Life-Up, Down and Sideways. 

I started blogging my crafty creations just over two years ago when I created Cuttin' and Stampin'. It was my way of sharing some of my crafty creations to a larger audience and sell some crafty goodies to others. In such a short period of time, the original blog has developed a life of it's own with a Design Team and weekly challenges. This world wide web has allowed me to meet and get to know so many wonderful people and make some truly life long friends. You may not believe it, but I have a real hard time speaking with people in public places. I get all tongue tied and embarrassed about every word that comes out of my mouth.

When I'm not working or crafting, my husband and I do quite a bit of traveling on the back of a GL1800 Goldwing. It's an amazing way to see the country with the wind in your face and being exposed to all the elements. We take long trips that provide me with tons of great pictures to scrap and lots of jounaling to do. We have one son that I used to arm wrestle with to see who got to ride with dad this week. Now he has reached an age where he can travel on a bike of his own. We have a really close knit family an it's great that we can enjoy the road together. 

In my excitement, I decided that I wanted to use this opportunity to try something new. I've been watching all of these wonderful videos on making mini albums and keep thinking "How hard can this be?"

I really need to give credit to Angle Wings 14100 off of YouTube. She created an awesome video with great instructions. You can access them here - Tutorial Video

I made my share of mistakes, so give me a little leeway on the creation of my first mini. I started with some Bazzill Kraft card stock and created my cover and all the pages. Then inked around the edges .

I used the He Said She Said Paper packet from Teresa Collins. There was an additional elements package that contained mini file folders and I tried to make them fit in too.

So here's the front cover of the album. The diagonal card is in a pock and can be changed out. The flower is hooked onto a magnet for the closure. It's pretty plain but with some time to think about it, I'll probably keep adding to it.

So when you open the front cover. There's a pocket on the first page with one of the file folder elements added as a tag. The flap on the right side is also part of a file folder.

Here's the flap opened up.

Here's the second pages of the album. I left the big square to hold a nice size photo. The tags on the right side are removable and can be used to mount pictures on the back or do some journaling.

Flip up the page on the right and here's another great spot for a large picture. There's another large photo and journaling spot on the tag that comes out of the pocket. The bottom section is a third page with a magnetic closure. 

 Here's how the page opens up.

Once you fold the page down I used another file folder to create an added spot. Then I used three celo bags that are 3" x 6" to create a section of clear picture or tag pockets.

Then there's another large spot for a picture

I hope you enjoyed my first mini album. It's was an interesting project and I've definitely learned that I need to take a little more time and make sure I have all my folds right before I start gluing things down.

Until next time,
Happy Crafting
Tammy

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Diana from Nanny to Mommy.

Hey everyone!  My name is Diana and I blog over at Nanny to Mommy.  I started blogging originally in 2003 on Blurty, does anyone remember that?  I was an angst teenager with so much pain that I needed to get out.  Or I was just looking for something to do after band practice.

Haha.

Things aren't that dramatic anymore. I blog about my life as a stay-at-home mom who thought I knew

everything about taking care of kids, until I had one of my own. I make mistakes in parenting so you don't have to.

I started my blog in 2010 to keep track of my pregnancy. I started on Tumblr and was going to write about our TTC journey, but life had different plans for us and we got pregnant right away. I continue sharing our story through my father's death that year, my life insurance drama, and my identity theft fiasco only to have my beautiful SweetPea in December and make that terrible year worth it.

I complain about my unsupportive mother-in-law and my husband who never helps. I share my journey through PPD, breastfeeding an infant with lip tie, and my weightloss journey. I may make you laugh, or cry, or you just may feel sorry for my writing skills and over use of smileys.

Either way, ENJOY! :D

I'm a bargain hunter and frugalista, so I share freebies on my facebook fan page Diana's Deals as well as on Twitter and Instagram

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jodi from Talking Twine and Trim.

Deezy, thanks for this opportunity!  First my name is Jodi and I am the happy owner of Talking Twine and Trim found here (talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com) and Just a Bit of Paper found here (justabitofpaper@etsy.com).

Now like most shops, I have a facebook page and about every other week have a give away.  Please come by and like my page.  I often showcase my products and have had "guest" designers here and there.  Look for talking twine and trim on facebook.  Last I have been a member of the Creative team at Scrapbookdoodle.com for years.  I love designing for Yvonne who carries loads

of fun scrapbook products and does amazing kits.

Enough of the self promotion let’s talk packaging, events and scrapping.  I got into my little shop with "NEEDING" some bakers twine one late night while scrapping.  I wasn't happy with my colors I had, so I surfed the net and the next week I was selling it on etsy.  I was hooked!!!!  I love all things cotton and I love color.  It was the beginning of the beginning.  I am also a FAN of tags so the bakers twine is just the answer to many of my tag issues.  Seam binding came next, yes, I LOVE tying things up I guess.  I have dyed it, hand scrunched it and just tied it up.  I love seam binding and baker twine combined.  Please, don't ask me my favorite color as it changes by the hour.

Next came bags and they have taken me to a little old time bakery on Main St. here in AZ.  They were always white so when I saw patterns and colors I knew these were perfect for me.  I have made 2 mini albums using these bags as a base.  They were super cute.

I "heart" washi.  Easy, quick and full of color.  Yes I love colors and patterns.

I have been scrapping for 10 plus years.  My style is...  Well, I don't know.  But a few years ago I stopped fighting it and decided to embrace my style.  I am happy with it.  It is always layered, usually has a tag somewhere and is always attached with twine.  I tend to like white and cream backgrounds. 

I have four adult kids, 1 fantastic daugther-in-law, and the CUTEST little granddaughter in the world.  You may see a layout about her later in the week.  I have lived in Arizona most of my life though I love the mountains they are just a few hours away.  I have traveled the world and let me say there are loads of places yet to visit.
