I ventured away from scrapbooking in this project. My daughter's boyfriend is a huge Saints fan.

That made me feel good :).

Christmas Cards 2011

2011-10-27T12:08:00.000-05:00

I worked on my Christmas cards for 3 days and finally done with them. This is the first year that I got them done well in advance. I hate rushing more than anything.

Recipe:
Recollection ready made cards for the base.
Recollection Christmas stamp set.
Watercolor pencils (cant remember which brand)
Watercolor paper
Red ink
Green ink
Diamond stickles
Green cardstock
Red cardstock
Snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder

First start by cutting mats to fit card base. Embossed mat with Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. Stamp Santa Clause onto watercolor paper. Color with watercolor pencils. I used Diamond Stickles on all white areas to give them substance. They looked awesome. The pictures really dont do them justice. They may have taken 3 days but are well worth it. Thanks for looking :-)

Explosion Box

2011-10-25T15:00:00.000-05:00

This weekend my Mom & Dad came in for a visit. I dont get to see them as much any more because they moved 8 hours away from me. I am not liking that !! Anyway when my mother & I get together we have to make at least one full day of crafting. We spent Monday making an Explosion Box, Earring holder, and Frame. We also had planned to start on our Christmas cards but didn't make it that far. LOL Anyway here is the Explosion Box I made....

This is the first layer (bottom). This layer was 12x12 paper scored at 4 inches all the way around. cutting out all four corners. I placed mats, then picture corners. Do not embellish the center as you will glue the second layer to it.

2nd layer

2011-10-25T14:59:00.001-05:00

Here is the second layer. It is cut at 11x11. Scored at 3 3/4" all the way around cutting out the corners. Again place picture mats and corners to each one. Do not embellish the center as you will glue the final layer to it.

3rd layer

2011-10-25T14:58:00.003-05:00

Here is the third layer. It is cut at 10x10 and scored at 3 1/2" all the way around cutting out the corners. Again place picture mats and corners to each one. This is the final layer so go ahead and decorate the center.

Finished w/lid

2011-10-25T14:58:00.002-05:00

For the lid cut an 8x8 piece of paper and score at 2". I think next time I may score at 1 1/2" as the lid fit very tightly and hard to get on. Decorate the outside. Adhere 12 photos to the layers. Fold all layers up to form the sides of the box and place lid on.

There you are. All finished. I loved this project. It was very easy and fun to make and will make a wonderful gift. My grandmother is always wanting pictures so I developed 13 pics to add. I thought this would make a great gift for her. Thanks for checking it out. :-)

Dad's Birthday Card

2011-10-12T11:55:00.000-05:00

Here is a Birthday card I made my dad. They are coming in this weekend. I am so excited! His birthday is the first week of November but I never get to spend it with him. They usually come up in September or October. We usually go down for a visit either at Thanksgiving or Christmas. So I decided I was going to have him a surprise birthday party. He is a cowboy at heart so I thought he would love this stamp set. It is from Stampin' Up.

2011-10-10T13:50:00.000-05:00

Here is a Tri-Shutter album I made for a friend that had her baby boy over the weekend. I had so much fun making it. I had been intimidated by these albums thinking I was not capable of making one. I seen a tutorial online and let me tell you....it was very simple!! It holds 3 4x6 photos and can be displayed on a shelf or dresser. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did making it. :-)

2011-06-15T10:32:00.003-05:00

I was a very busy lady last night. I had planned on making my dad's Father's Day card and as I was setting up to make that I received the news my ex brother-n-law had passed away. I am not fond of making Sympathy cards but tried my best. I was rather pleased with the Father's Day card I made. I usually cant figure out what to do with the inside, but this stamp set had these cute little stamps. The stamp set was from a card kit club I was subscribed to. My dad is always saying he is an antique so I found this card very fitting. I also got a head start and made one to match for my husband's bday which isn't until December. No I didn't let him see the card I made for my dad. :-)

2011-06-15T10:29:00.002-05:00

Here is a Sympathy card I made. We lost a very dear person yesterday. He was my ex brother-n-law but I still loved him so. He will be missed greatly. I made this card for his mother.

Helping Hands

2011-03-14T15:42:00.002-05:00

Here was a fun page I did with me and my step-grandson. He loves helping me and is such a sweetheart!! I wanted to make this page extra special for him. I used the bright primary colors since it is a childlike layout.

Snow pages

2011-03-14T14:37:00.002-05:00

I wouldn't exactly call this a double layout...maybe mirror image layout. I really love the layout and wanted a layout to fit 4 photos each. I love doing snow pages. Both are real simple layouts.

Sorry for the glare on the right side layout :-(

Recipe for Snow Beautiful...

Christmas - snow flakes @ 2"
Ashlyn's Alphabet - title @ 1/25"
Doodlecharms -snowman 2'5"

I added ribbon to separate the pics. I didn't care for it without the ribbon. I added stickles and bling to the snow flakes for some sparkle. I added brads, fibers, and googly eyes to the snowman. (I just love him)

Recipe for Snow Buddies...

Christmas -snow flakes @ 2"
Ashlyn's Alphabet - title @ 1/25"

Doodlecharms -party hat @ 3.25"
Gypsy Wanderings -pink photo mat @ 4"x3/25" & title (Party) @ 2.5"

2011-03-09T13:33:00.003-06:00

Here is a layout I did of my grandson's first bath at his Memaw & Papaw's house. This was also his first overnight visit with us. It was the first of many and we LOVE it!! We had so much fun that night. He loves taking a bath. I had a lot of fun designing this layout. Here is the recipe...

I used Peachy Keen Stamp for the baby's face. I pop dotted the circles, ducks, and baby face to give deminsion. I also added faux stitching around the mats, circles, ducks, and tub. On the bubbles that have his picture in them, I used Glossy Accents to fill in to look like water. This was my first time to use this product and love the way it came out. :-)

2011-03-04T16:45:00.002-06:00

Here is my precious grandson's 2 month LO. I am keeping the monthly pages simple so I dont get behind. I used Ashlyn Alphabet for the title and frame. I used Plantin Schoolbook to cut the picture out for the circle. The circle is actually the inside of the frame. Thanks for looking :)

Birth and 1 month layout

2011-02-21T12:38:00.002-06:00

I have finally started on my grandson's monthly layouts. He is now three months old. On the birth layout I used Ashlyn's Alphabets for the title. The other embellishments are punch outs from the paper pack. I cant remember the name of the paper pack. I got it at Hobby Lobby. I did a little doodling with a red marker to tye in the air plane trails on the paper.

This is the layout for his 1 month pictures. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the "1". I used my gypsy to make it wider. The word "month" and journaling box is punch outs from the paper pack I bought at Hobby Lobby.

Valentine Cards for kids

2011-02-15T09:50:00.003-06:00

The first one "Dino Mite" was for son's girlfriend' little boy. The second one "Nuts about U" for our son's girlfriend's little girl. I used Create a Critter for both cards. That is a real fun cartridge. I am so glad I purchased it!! I used foam squares to add dimension on the Dino Mite card. Both cards are the same on the inside.

2011-02-02T15:47:00.008-06:00

Here is a layout I did for our Family Christmas pictures. I wanted to use the little house because I collect village houses, church, stores and accessories to go with it. It is my favorite holiday decoration to put out. I also wanted to use the title because our kids are grown and spread out and I love them coming home for the holidays. I used Joys of the Season cartridge. I used Gypsy font and welding the letters on my Gypsy I got for Christmas. I LOVE my Gypsy !!!

I hope she likes it. It was very simple to make. Sorry this picture is too small. I am using photobucket and it is coming out either too small or too large. :-(

2010-09-09T08:23:00.001-05:00

I made a matching envelope using a envelope template I got at the Great American Scrapbook Convention I attended this year. I dont remember who it is made by. It really comes in handy when you want to make a matching envelope.

2010-09-09T08:21:00.001-05:00

I used pop dots to give dimension.

Horsin Around

2010-09-07T10:09:00.000-05:00

Dixie Stampede

2010-08-13T15:41:00.004-05:00

Here is a layout I did of a show in Branson MO. It is called Dixie Stampede. It was so much fun. It is about the Civil War(the Yankee against the Rebels). Anyway I needed to do a two page layout because the pictures were 5X7's I used Wild West Cart. for the title and horses. I cut out the mat and glued down three sides to make the pocket. I had so much memorabilia that I wanted to include that I just had to have a pocket ! LOL

Swaps

2010-03-12T11:38:00.002-06:00

Here is the mailbox and goodies I received from Erica. She did a great job. She was so generous! Thank you, Erica!!

Mailbox Swap

2010-03-11T11:41:00.004-06:00

I am addicted to doing swaps on the Cricut forum. Here is a altered mailbox for a swap. You had to alter a mailbox in your partners favorite colors and fill it with goodies. Here is picture of the mailbox with all the goodies I filled it with.

Front View

2010-03-11T11:40:00.003-06:00

The "E" stands for her first name. I used a negative chipboard and painted it with a black magic marker.

Side View

2010-03-11T11:39:00.003-06:00

Here is the side view. I painted the mailbox white. I used a very tacky double sided permanent tape on the paper to make it stick to the mail box. I stressed over how to get behind the flag part. I found instructions on youtube. All you do is use a small circle punch where the flag will be, then cut a slit and slide it under the flag. Very simple!! I just tied fibers around the base of the flag.

My Pink Cricut !!

2010-03-02T15:54:00.003-06:00

Here is the newest addition to my scrapbook room. My new Pink Cricut!!! I have wanted one since they came out. I finally caught it on sale at Michael's. I love it!!

1st chip board book

2010-02-01T16:51:00.002-06:00

This weekend was a wonderful weekend! We got 6 inches of snow. I LOVE snow!! Anyway we played and played in snow. After all was said and done I decided that I would attempt this little book. I have been trying to get myself motivated to do one. I was worried about cutting the paper to fit the book. Guess what....it was easy!! I trimmed my coordinating paper and adhered to the book. I used A Childs Year for the scalloped mats and journaling mats cut at 4 inches. I used Alphalicous for the letters. Buttons and a wired butterfly I have been waiting to use for the front cover. I hope you like it.

This is my first post. I have never blogged before. However I have read quite a few blogs. It is time for me to get with the program and start my own blog. I go to all these blogs and look at others scrapbook designs and think I want to be like them and post mine for all to see. By looking at other designs, I get ideas. What do scrapbookers love most?? Sharing. Sharing Ideas, sharing tools and embelishments, sharing where to find the best bargins, and sharing memories. So check in often to see what creations I have made. Leave comments and ideas.
