Happy Scrappin'!

I want to share more of the pages that I swapped for at convention. This first one is one of my favorites out of all of them! I love the colors, the way she textured the title letters, the fancy eggs, and the journal pocket that she made from the Petite Pocket Bigz Die! What an incredible page!
 

I love the eggs and each one has a different texture on it.

The letters are textured too with the bitty flowers on them.

What a neat journal pocket!

Don't you love the pinwheels? See why this is one of my favorite pages? Now to add some fun Grandkid pictures to it! Hey, Jamie and Katie...need some Grandma pictures!
 
 
 
Here's another Spring page...how many favorites do you think I can have?
 
 
The vase of flowers is really pretty here and a little bling added to the centers.
 
 
This one will be perfect for those wedding pictures I haven't gotten scrapbooked yet...it's only been how long??

 
Cute Bride and Groom hearts...

 
And wedding rings!
 
Then here's a couple pictures of one of the pages that we made at our scrapbook club. We learned how to do the Mother of Pearl technique...so shiny in real life!

 
This picture is my Dad's family (my Dad is the one on the left in the back row).
I didn't get to meet my two uncles, as both were killed when I was a little girl, one in a plane wreck and one in an automobile accident. What an awesome picture to have and scrapbook with all of them in it. A treasure to remember, for sure!
I used lots of dimensionals on each layer of the title and the antique brads to set it up off the page and more dimensionals on the flowers. We also learned how to use the corner punch and the edge punches together...a little bit of a trick and takes a little bit of practice!
 
 
Here you can see a little bit of the shine from the Mother of Pearl technique. It's a perfect technique to use with an old picture. Join us for scrapbook classes every month and learn some fun scrapbook techniques along with us. It's a great way to do at least one scrapbook page a month!
Happy Scrappin'!

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

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra

Ingredients: Paper Pumpkin Pie Ink: Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Black Marker, White Pen, Sponge Daubers, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots, Lollipops The Pumpkin Pie paper is cut 5 1/4" by 1 1/2", scored at 1 7/8" and 3 3/8" All the ovals were sponged with Cajun Craze, the face drawn on with markers and the white pen, the cheeks added with the Riding Hood Red and a Q-tip. The wrapper to the lollipop is stuck together with glue dots, and the ribbon attached for the leaves. Easy and fun! So if you're having one of those days and need to hang with a few friends, or
