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

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!

Image
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!
