Ketto - Thank You

YAY!! I made another card...
I've challenged myself to use up all my scraps for cards...
I had this ketto colored already so I just dove into my scrap bin
and pulled out some scraps that matched.

I made this card for my cousin...we went to her house last weekend
for a bbq. I just love this ketto...I think she is my favorite!!
Well, have a great Sunday and see you tomorrow!

Bella twisted challenge

So, I finally decided to get creative...I don't know why
I have not been in the mood for the last week...just lazy
and unmotivated...so not me!
Anyway, here is one of the new stamps I got a couple
weeks ago. Isn't she cute!?
I made this card for Hope's BTC#4 (I think it's #4)
The challenge was to use blue and yellow...the twist is
to not use dp.

I don't usually use buttons...so not a button person!
but, I decided to step out of my box.
You can't tell in this picture that her shoes have
stickles on them...way cute in person and
the blues do match a lot better in person too!
Anyway, thanks for stoping by and all the emails
making sure I'm ok!
I'll be back tomorrow with another card and maybe a layout or two!

Mother's Day layout

T.G.I.F. (I think I say that every Friday)
Yahoo!! to a 3 day weekend. (not that I have anything
planned...maybe 3 days of scrapping?! anyone want to join me?)
Here is a layout I have been working on since we went to
Shelley's on Tuesday!! (yikes..this one took me a long time!)

As soon as I saw this paper line I LOVED it!! it's My Minds Eye
Bella Bella - Bellezo paper kit. I will be doing more with it soon...
I have a few more pictures from mother's day so, I will need a
couple more layouts. The "love" on the second page I cut out
on my cricut.
Have a great weekend thanks for stopping by!!

Another Disney layout

Ok so I'm on a roll with the Disney layouts...
I have so many pictures from last year that I need to get done!!
I am so trying to get caught up with my 2008 Disney book.

I have so much Disney paper...I used some of my left over
flowers from yesterdays layout. You can't really see it in
this picture...but, the letters are aluminum red (thickers)
Have a great day!

Magic Memories

Happy Hump Day!!!
We went to Shelley's house to scrap yesterday....
Thanks Shelley!! this is one of the layouts I did.
Don't you just love Disney pages?

Cheryl found this layout idea on one of the scrapbooking gallery sites.
(for the life of me I can't remember which one...it's on the tip of my tongue!!)
The dp I've had forever...I love it! some of the flowers are cut out
with my cricut. This is the first time I've used a circle on
my layout...I kinda like it (I'm so not a circle girl!).
I have another 2 page layout I did too...I just need to journal and
do some finishing touches then I will post.
Have a great day and happy scrapping!
Pat

For the love of the game...

Here is a layout I did for my son...I have thousands of pictures
from this season of Lacrosse. I like the look of this...I used
black and white and color photos. I used pop dots on some of
the pictures to give it some dimension. (did it work?)

I can't remember who makes this paper...
I'm off to Shelley's house to scrap today. Hopefully I will have
some layouts to post tomorrow.
Have a great day and happy scrapping!
Pat

having one of those daysss?

Happy Monday!!
Here is a card I made using one of my new stamps...
yes...I finally got to play. I made this for
Hope's twisted challenge #2.

Isn't she sooo cute? I used ctmh - tickled pink scraps.
I just love this stamp....I think it's one of my new
favorites...oh who am I kidding....they are all my favorites!!
Have a great day!

Behind my camera

T.G.I.F.!!
Here is a layout I worked on yesterday at Cheryl's house...
(yes, we scrapped and celebrated her birthday yesterday)
This picture dosen't do this justice!! it's way better in person.

I don't remember who makes this paper...but, I love it and couldn't
wait to use it. I have to say Thanks to Cheryl for taking this
picture...it's the first time anyone has taken a picture of me
behind the camera. I love it!!
Have a great weekend.

2009 opening page

Here is my opening page for my 2009 family photo album...
I have to give all the credit to my friend cheryl for this idea
(she is a great scrapbooker and very creative). She came up with
the idea to use these jenny bowlin calendars.

I don't know why my 2009 looks black they are red! just like
the flower I wanted to add some color. I put the pictures of
everyone on their birthday months and circled the date.
see you tomorrow!!
and once again...Thanks cheryl!!

Together!!

Here is a layout (very easy) I did last night.
We went to the Dodger game on Saturday. (that was
part of my mother's day wish...to spend the day with
my family...my husband took the day off, brittany didn't have
to work and alexander didn't have a game!).
It's very rare that we are all home on a saturday!

The second page is 4x6 photos in photo storage pages.
(very easy way to scrap when you have lots of photos!)
Have a great day!

Lady Owly

YAY!!
I got my new stamps last night and I couldn't wait
to ink them up...
This is the first one I inked. (I have 8 more to go)
This stamp made me think of my friend Jennifer...
she loves Owls.

The paper is from ctmh - emporium I love this paper pack.
I'm not sure I'm an owl person (this is my first owl ever).
Have a great day!
Pat

Happy Mother's Day!!

Here are a couple of cards I made for mother's day this year...
very simple and easy!! I didn't make too many...just enough
to be tired of looking at this paper (lol)

The paper is from DCWV, the sentiment and flower are
from CTMH.
Enjoy your day!!!

The challenge is to use BSC24 and then paper piece your
bella...I love this stella...I paper pieced her dress and the

this month that I need cards for so, this was a perfect challenge
for me!!

Emporium layout

I finally scrapped these pictures from my honeymoon!!
WOW!! that was way back in 2006!! I had a hard time
finding paper I liked....I loved this paper when the pictures
where just laying on it...then once I did it I wasn't sure.
I think it just kinda grew on me.

The paper is from ctmh, all stamped images are from
ctmh (except the flourish), the letters are Tim Holtz grungeboard.
I have a few more layouts I did this weekend for NSD. I need
to journal and take pictures then I can post hopefully sometime
today. I also have lots of challenges to get caught up on.
And, my new bellas should be on their way!! YAY!!
Plus, I have bellas and kettos I haven't even inked yet!!
I plan on being very busy today and tomorrow.
Have a great day!
Pat

Have a great day!

Nascar Racing

T.G.I.F
My husband and I went to the race back in February (yeah I
finally got around to scrapping these) He doesn't really
like Nascar...but unfortunately for him I LOVE it!!
Can you guess who my favorite driver is?? (hehehe)
I took lots of pictures this day...I just couldn't scrap them all.
I'm sure I'll do a couple more pages.

Have a great day and weekend!!
Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!
I'll be Scrapping All Day at my Friend Jennifer's house tomorrow
(YAY for Jen!!)
I hope to get lots done and I'm sure I'll post it on Monday.
