Some more cards...

2011-10-03T19:24:00.001-07:00

I made a few cards this past weekend in honor of National Card Making Day

Scrapbuggy Challenge #8

2011-09-29T07:12:00.001-07:00

The Scrapbuggy Challenge this time was to make a card from the sketch provided and use one of their Buggy Designs. I just love this elephant and have made lots of baby cards with it.

I took some gray and pink twine and twisted it for an embellishment.

More Halloween

2011-09-29T07:03:00.000-07:00

Halloween is just around the corner

2011-08-19T06:57:00.000-07:00

My first Halloween card of the year. I used the CottageCutz die from MLS and some Doodlebug paper. The trim is made with pinking shears and the details on the raven are from the Gelly Roll pen called Stardust.

A little bit of Disney!

Love this new Authentique paper

My Little Shoebox & The Dog Pound

2011-07-22T09:57:00.000-07:00

I made this card with the CottageCutz die called Laundry Line. This is made to go with MLS line of paper Pretty Little Things.

Here is a scrapbook layout I made with a couple of pictures from my daughter & her husband's trip to Disneyland last month.

Lovin' Those Polka Dots

2011-07-06T20:23:00.000-07:00

For the last year and half I've been participating in Project 12. Each month a sketch is given and you create a layout based on the activities you did in that month. I have loved doing this. June's project 12 was in conjuction with Scrapbuggy's Recipe Challenge where you had to use lots of polka dots, 2 flowers, 3 buttons and some ribbon. This made it super fun and I love the polka dot theme. Thanks Scrapbuggy!

I even took the same papers and created a card too!

Scrapbuggy Card Sketch Challenge

2011-06-23T17:14:00.001-07:00

I made up a bunch of these for my stash :)

Wedding Cake and a Prom Dress

2011-06-18T07:42:00.000-07:00

I used the Celebration Cake die from the Scrapping Cottage to make the wedding cake.
I did a fun little photo shoot before my daughters date picked her up for prom.

Recipes added to my recipe book

2011-06-15T07:01:00.001-07:00

My most favorite release from The Scrapping Cottage has been the Kitchen Release. I have been adding a recipe to my book here and there for years now, but with this release I've gotten 4 done in the past couple of weeks.

Several of these dies also come with stamps like the flour and sugar above.

Also the measuring cup die. Aren't these just so cute???

Sympathy Cards

2011-05-24T16:51:00.001-07:00

I have thoroughly enjoyed making cards with my PaperTrey stamps and dies. I made up a batch of these Sympathy Cards and really like how they turned out.

National Scrapbook Day Projects

2011-05-07T19:38:00.000-07:00

This one is for Scrapbuggy - Sketch challenge #3

All White Challenge

2011-01-08T11:59:00.000-08:00

I took the challenge over at Scrapbook Express to create an all white layout for their monthly contest. I would have never done this on my own but with it being a challenge I decided to give it a try. I am very happy with the way it turned out, I just wish it would photograph better, it's

much prettier in person.

I know it's been awhile......

2010-12-29T07:59:00.001-08:00

but when your daughter gets engaged and wants to get married less than 8 weeks later blogging was the least of my worries. She got engaged in August and was sure she didn't want a winter wedding. So we worked hard and pulled off a beautiful fall wedding on October 15th with the

reception the next evening.

I plan on doing much better now that things have settled down.

I was excited that they finally came out with some Harry Potter papers for the HP fans in my family.

August Scrapbook Retreat

2010-08-15T15:04:00.001-07:00

The only thing better than a scrapbook retreat is being able to go twice in one summer.

My friend Sheila let us go to her cabin again. We had a wonderful time scrapping and relaxing, eating and visiting. We even did some star gazing at night.

We all got our picture taken by the outhouse (no we didn't have to use it...)

and by the swing. Thanks Lorna for letting me steal your pictures.
Sheila, Cindy and I headed down Tuesday morning and Kaleen, Lorna and Kelly made it down later in the day. They left Thursday morning and we headed back Friday around noon. We stopped at Sub Zero in Mt. Pleasant and had lunch. I'm sad the retreat season is over, but grateful for the opportunity to go twice thanks to Sheila. I'm lucky to have such wonderful friends.

Border Punches and Quickutz Edges

2010-07-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

This layout was so fun to do and I actually made these little Quickutz dresses while I was watching the movie 27 Dresses!

I finally broke out my Quickutz edgers to make this card with the Peacock Lane line from BoBunny.

Rock on!

2010-07-18T20:28:00.000-07:00

I used the guitar from the Quickutz Rock star paper doll and cut it out of chipboard and glossy black, cardstock as well as white, brown and tan. Then I added some paint and pen lines for the details.

Feelin' Krafty

2010-07-16T19:54:00.000-07:00

Ok, ok I'll start a crafty blog

2010-07-16T19:23:00.000-07:00

Here are just two of the 28 pages I got done at our scrappy retreat in June. I just love getting away from routine and scrapping my heart out with good friends.
