More Scrapbook Pages

I wanted to share with you some of the scrapbook pages that I did at our overnight. Some of the pages are completely done, but some still need journaling or embellishments added. I feel like I got so much accomplished! Remember, it's not about being caught up, it's about doing it!!

I used the scallop punch to make the clouds, then sponged them to add a little color. The alphabet set is a retired one...love it and couldn't get rid of it!! I love the fact that it punches out with the 3/4" circle punch and doesn't have to be cut out!

I made the kite on this page to match the kite that Faith and I had made that day, then used the inset embossed technique to give some texture.


I punched some mittens out of the oval punch and scalloped square punch and hung them with the mini clothespins. I need to do some others that I can hang by the journaling for the page.

Isn't this just the cutest little mitten muncher that you've ever seen??

This is one of pages that I taught in our scrapbooking classes using the new Dresden die and shading and sewing on a page. I also turned the heart around so that it had the "debossed" side facing the front. Love this page!

This is a fun photo that I took of little Evelyn's feet and her Mommy and Daddy's hands. I love that you can see a little of her face in the middle. Still needs to be journaled. I don't usually journal on my pages when I'm with a group. I start writing what I'm saying or misspelling words, so leave it till a quiet time at home.

Faith found Daddy's hard hat by the door one day as he was leaving for work and had to try it on. I used the Daisy #2 die for the flowers...just wish that it hadn't been on the retired list! I made the leaves from folded ribbon. I need to add more flowers and journaling to this page.
I love the Tasteful Trim die along the bottom!

I cut snowflakes with the Northern Frost strip (another one that's on the retired list) and made my own dimensional background paper. The snow along the bottom is just torn paper...easy!

 
This one is still a work in progress...don't you just love those eyes? They speak such volumes without a lot of words that we can understand yet. The background paper is an old one that I had been "saving" in my stash.
As you can see, my favorite subjects to photograph and then "have" to scrapbook are my grand kids! They are such precious gifts from God!!! Love them all to pieces!
Have some fun reliving those precious memories again!
Happy Stampin'!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Scrapbook on the Walls

Image
I love to scrapbook too! I put a lot of time into the pages I create, and have found that scrapbook frames are a great way to scrapbook on the walls and be able to enjoy those creations before adding them to a book.  I have been working on a gift for my daughter-in-law, whose birthday was last week. I finally finished it yesterday and I'm really excited to get it mailed to her. I used the Six Sided Sampler stamp set, stamped them with the stitched hexagon on scraps of Designer Series Paper in Early Espresso, then dabbed each side on the ink pad to add the dark edge to them. The flowers are cut from the Floral Fusion Sizzlit, also shaded, curled a little to give them some shape and added with a dimensional. Love, love, love the new Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog! I can see that I will be using them a lot for scrapbook pages and for cards! Pearls, iridescent embossing on the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set add a little bling to the page. Matching pun

Thank You!

I've been able to make lots of thank you cards this summer. You see, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, and through the process, I've had some very kind and giving people. It has humbled me greatly to hear the number of people that are praying for me, and knowing that each prayer is brought before our Mighty King and He hears and answers each one. It makes me very grateful! It has been a different summer than what we had planned, that's for sure! Chemo has not been kind some days, and then other days, I feel "normal" and back to myself again...except for no hair! I'm getting used to wearing hats and scarves, though I still can't get used to the people that look at me like I have something missing. I just try to smile and not let it bother me. Maybe they'll figure it out, and then maybe not.Thank you for the support and love I have felt from my family and friends! I know that I don't fight this battle alone and I cherish each one of you!
