Perfect

Hi! Been awhile, huh? I've been very successfully scrapping a lot of my photos lately! Yay! I am finally back in my scrapping kick, but sadly not too many cards are being made. I was proud of myself tonight because I combined scrapping and stamping on this layout. I just received the new Scarlet Lime July kit in the mail today, with exclusive papers by Chatterbox's Melody Ross. The kit is just gorgeous and I immediately put it to use! This layout features a photo of my Mom and myself when we went strawberry picking. I layered a lot of the patterned paper from the kit over a piece of SU! designer paper. In the lower right corner I made my own fabric flower with some beautiful fabric by Moda. I also journaled on a stamped image which came in the kit.

I used a stamp set by SU! for the butterfly, frame, and sentiment in the upper right corner.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

The Plaid Family

I made this layout this evening with a photo from this past Memorial Day following the latest 52 Sketches 52 Weeks sketch. I used some new paper by Cosmo Cricket called "Early Bird". I stitched on the layout with my Janome mini machine. I added some transparent letters underneath the main title which says "Family". They are easier to see in the close up below. I split "Family" so that part of it is on the left side of the photo and part of it is on the right side of the photo. I stamped some flowers from "Eastern Blooms" and embossed them 3 times with clear embossing powder, then used some In Color buttons tied with floss to top them off.

Cinderella's Castle

I made this layout today featuring Cinderella's Castle.  I used some Kaisercraft paper, American Crafts rub-ons, Prima Flowers, and my Cricut to cut out Cinderella.  Thanks for stopping by!

More Disney Layouts!

Hi all! I've been super busy working on my Disney layouts, so I thought I'd share some here. This first one uses Coordinations White Wash cardstock. When you sand the paper it leaves the bottom color (which is my case was orange). You can see it on the squares on the left side, which were embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. It is a super neat effect! I also used some dp by Daisy Buckets.

For the second layout I used Basic Grey "Cupcake" and some really adorable photos of Mickey from the Celebrate It parade.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fairy Godmother

Hello! Here is another Disney layout that I made recently. I am determined to finish scrapbooking all of my Disney photos before I go to Alaska in August (I'm not sure if its a realistic goal or not...lol).  This layout is from a sketch from the blog 52 Sketches 52 Weeks. My layout features sketch #19.  Go check them out, there are fabulous sketches and awesome prizes each week.  I used dp by Imaginesce for my layout, along with my new favorite toy, my Cricut machine.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Fun

Hi! Wow I can't believe I've let so much time go by! April passed in a blur and I can hardly believe its already May (although the weather certainly doesn't feel very May-like here!).  I have actually been doing a lot of scrapbooking lately, and to get me in the groove I am taking an online Color course from the website "Got Crafts?"  Our first challenge was issued last night and here is the layout I made.  I used photos from my recent Disney trip. We were in Downtown Disney on this night, and although it was a crummy day with rain, the sunset happened to be beautiful!  Hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by!

Bird Houses

These are the favors that Christine and I made for her and my brother's engagement party.  I found the template for the birdhouses on Nichole Heady's blog.  The roof and the base are made with  scallop nesties.  All dsp is from SU!.  We made 40 of these birdhouses, and at the end of the party only 6 were left! Our guests loved them, and they were the perfect favor to complement our spring theme.

We purchased the tree branches, and buckets at G and G (a florist outlet store), and filled the buckets with sand, and then covered the sand with some river rocks.

Hope you enjoy seeing our favors!
