chipboard so I used my cricut!!

I choose to use black and white photos instead of color...

Have a scrappy day!!

Sweet Franchesca...

Almost the weekend!!!
I have been scrapping a little every day!!
I am using up lots of old paper, ribbon and lots
of embellishments.
I took these pictures of my BEAUTIFUL niece in
July at my grandmothers birthday party.
I have been wanting to scrap these just didn't have
the mojo...when my friend Monique was over the other
day she did a beautiful layout of her granddaughter using this
sketch...I loved it!! so, I used the same sketch.
I love the ribbon threaded thru the pictures!!! I would have
never thought to do that.

This paper is from My Minds Eye (love love love it)
I used some misc. ribbon, pearl swirls and of course had
to use some CTMH stamps.

The sentiment/title is from Heidi Swapp. I printed it
on transparency paper. The flowers are from Michael's
wedding department.

I just love her beautiful smile!!
Hope you have a great day!!
I am looking forward to the weekend...

Happy Crafting!

Wisconsin

Happy Hump Day!!
I have been on a roll with my scrapping...
Thanks to Monique and Sylvia!
We have been scrapping like crazy!
This layout uses no dp only cardstock!!
WHAT?? I would never have scrapped that
way before! I am trying to get out of my box, trying
different things and I love it!
This layout is right out of an old CTMH idea book.
I think it's perfect and I love the color combo!

I used my cricut (art philosophy) to cut out the letters

I didn't journal...I think the title, calendar and
misc. word stamps say it all.

I am off to finish up another layout I started yesterday...
Yes, we had a last minute spur of the moment scrapfest
yesterday...
Have a crafty day!

Escape to Maui...

Happy Tuesday!!
I had two fabulous days of scrapping with my
friends...wish I could do it every weekend!
I am almost done with my Maui vacation pictures
(I took over a thousand pictures!)
I used the new Dreamin' paper pack from CTMH
(I made 3 two page layouts with this paper pack!!)
I love these pictures!! it was our first day in Maui.
The layout is right out of Magic.

here is a close up of page 1
I inked the new cork letters with chocolate, butterfly punch
is Martha Stewart, paper rosettes are from Tim Holtz
mini rosette die (thanks for "strongly" suggesting I need this
Monique!! I love it). I used scraps to make them.

page two
the brackets are from milepost shapes (ctmh)
I added a couple flip flaps so I could add a couple
more pictures.

using the flip flaps I was able to add 3 more photos to
my layout and a spot for journaling.

with the flaps open.

I have a couple more layouts to post...just need to
finish up a couple small details.
I will be crafting today...I need to play along
in a couple card challenges.
Happy crafting!
See you tomorrow!

Celebrate...

Getting caught up on some old stuff...
I have had this paper for a couple of years...
finally using it!!
I call this "cheater" scrapping...the layout is
already done for you all you have to do is add photos,
title, journal and embellish.
Not much to think about

close up of page 1...I used some cut out words to get
some journaling (very easy)

page 2...

I am so glad I am getting back into my scrapping.
I am getting caught up little by little.

Have a crafty Sunday!

Life...

Well, I have been scrapping all week...
it's taken me 3 days to complete this layout!
I love these pictures...we took these in Hawaii.
My children were having fun dancing on the beach
at sunset and I loved watching them.
I used the new Dreamin paper pack from CTMH.
I used various sentiment stamps from CTMH
and I did the title and journaling on the computer.

I don't know why the color is off on these..
I tried taking pictures in different lighting
and this is the best I can get. :(
The base page is bamboo it is looking very yellow in this picture.

page two...

I had fun doing this...even if it took me 3 days!
it was so worth it.
Have a great Saturday!

San Francisco

Happy Monday!!
Well, I didn't get as much crafting time this weekend...
I did finish up a few layouts I started and never completed.
I started this one a couple of months ago...
the paper and buttons are from CTMH. I love this
color combo and these buttons are my favorite.
The stamps are from Heidi Swapp.

Here is a close up of page one...I painted the chipboard
letters (I have tons of paint and never use it!)

page two...
We love love love San Francisco and try to get there
two or three times a year.

I am planning to get a couple of challenges done today
and another two page layout done!!
(that is my goal for today)
Happy crafting!!

Another Roxie layout

I used Roxie paper pack from CTMH to finish up
my pictures from our Vegas Bachelorette party...I have
a few more pictures to add on to my last two pages and
then I will be done! and the best part is I used up a
whole pack of paper! I am learning to "consume" not
"collect" my paper packs.
I was having trouble coming up with a title for these pictures...
My son was sitting at the table with me while I was scrapping
with my friend Sylvia...we were thinking of all different titles
when he said "you should call it Counting the ounces...look at
that table of drinks" we laughed and then thought about
it and used it...I added the club name.
I loved it...a very different title. Then again it's VEGAS!
I used some flip flaps (also from CTMH) to add more pictures
I used a 12x8 in the middle and one 4x6 on each page.

I don't know why my letters don't look straight...in real life
they are perfect (I used a ruler to make sure)

close up of the middle flap laying on top of page two.

Middle flap opened...(I was apble to add four extra pictures)

The 4x6 flap opened.

close up of second page.

As you can see we had some FUN girl time. They
had a pole off to the side in the club we were at so...
we all decided to take a turn (come on who whouldn't?)
It was lots of FUN!!! There is a flip on this page too.
We celebrated my new sister in law on this weekend
and it was also my daughter's (23 years old) first time
in Vegas. I am so glad I was there to experience it with her!

Happy Crafting!

Zoey @one...

I've had this paper for almost a year!!
When I saw it I knew it was perfect for these pictures.
Zoey will be two this month and I finally scrapped
her first birthday!! Isn't she super cute!?

I love her little shoes!

I love all this color combo...
I went to a local scrap store yesterday and bought (over spent)
some new paper...I love, love, love all the new Bo Bunny!!

I am off to scrap.
Have a great day!

Birthday girl...

Happy Monday!!
I am trying to get back into my scrapping and blogging...
I have not been in the "mood" to upload and blog.
I hope to find some mojo...Sophia is coming over today so
hopefully my creative bones come back.
Here is a layout I did a couple of weeks ago.
This is from my daughters 22nd birthday (last year)
I had the basic layout done months ago...I just couldn't
find any mojo to complete it.

Here is a close up...
This is so very different from my usual layouts.

I used up my grung from Tim Holtz (love it) and
bling I've had forever!

I had help with this layout from my sweet friend

Monique...I love her style.

I have a few challenges I want to get to from last week
and this week. I hope to get a card or two done this
week and a few more layouts.
Have a fabulous day!
