Lots of AMM goodness!

Check it out! A Million Memories announced the new (well, some of us are old) design team yesterday! I feel so lucky and honored to get to continue on. These are some extremely talented girls. I can't wait to work with each and every one of them.

The new April kit is also up for sale. I L-O-V-E-D this one. Such fun spring colors and lots of embellishments to work with. Here is the kit and what I created with it!

An assignment and 2 just for fun!!!

This mini is what you call "killing three birds with one stone" for me. Three assignments completed with one project. I truly love that when I able to pull something like that off. Creative time is at a bare minimum around here. So, this sweet little thing was made with the scalloped tag chipboard album from Clear Scraps. It is the same album, although the other one was acrylic, that I used for the Apple Picking album I made last October. On this I used the Baby Circus line of patterned papers from Scribble Scrabble, they really are so cute. Love the little splash of red in them. I've temporarily inserted photos of my third son, but this album is intended for a shower gift for my son's teacher. Hopefully she doesn't read this blog and if you do Amanda...act really surprised! ;)

There are way too many photos to post them all, if you want to see the rest of the album check out this post that I made on the Clear Scraps blog.

These next two layouts were just for me. It's been a while since I have done anything that wasn't related to a design team requirement and it felt so good to use WHATEVER I wanted. Most of these products did come Studio Calico's December kit that I hadn't even touched yet. ENJOY!

Some of this and some of that!

Sorry for the delay in the ol' blog. We took a lovely family vacation to sunny and warm Arizona. Since we have been home I have been bogged with too much stuff to do! First on my list of "to do's" was to work with the March kit from A Million Memories...it's colors were right up my alley! So many of you say that purple is such a hard color for you to work with...me...not a hater but, a lover of purple. Needless to say, I enjoyed this kit!!!

I sprayed the cover of this mini with two colors of Glimmer Mist and used the square piece of lace in the kit as a mask for the mist. Love how it let some of the raw chipboard show.This book will be filled with notes to each of my four children. There is a kraft envelope and a chipboard page for each of the kids. I used more Glimmer mist on the envelopes as well as some Basic Grey Stamps that I have in my own stash and topped it off with some dots of Liquid Pearls.

Next on the agenda. I have two dear friends that are teaching classes. The first is Jennifer Findlay who is teaching a mini album class and the whole thing is made from fabric it is too cute! The best is that you really don't have to sew to make one! You can check it out here... JUST US

The second is Karen Grunberg, who is teaching a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Karen is known for her superb photos and mostly her amazingly touching and deep journaling. Wish I could put words to paper like she does. You can find this class here... TELLING STORIES DEEPLY

If I had any free time I would take both of these classes in a heart beat!!!!!! Unfortunately I am way over booked right now as far as my crafty to do list is concerned!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

SEI and a Clear Scrap project

Thank you so much to SEI for sponsoring the design team at A Million Memories. They sent us all their Black Orchid line to work with. Such pretty colors and quite a few of these papers were embossed. This first layout I also incorporated an XL Dazed shape from CLear Scraps. I sprayed the back with Glimmer Mist and then edged it with a gold Zig Painty pen.

Thanks for looking! I'm taking a little break to work on a project for our school auction....yes, Tina, no more procrastination!!!! :)

Some inspiration for my BFF!!!!

Kristin, these are for you as requested!!! :)

Here are my projects that I created with the February kit from A Million Memories . I did three layouts...

There is a tutorial on how to make these cute little Valentine Treat Boxes here, if you are interested.

Thanks for taking a look...and no laughing allowed if you check out the You Tube video!!!!

Itty Bitty Dot Challenge

Whew...finished with 38 minutes to go. This little card is for a challenge over at Papertrey Ink. Check out Nichole's blog for all of the birthday festivities they have going on...here.

I've used their Ripe Avocado cardstock and their Raspberry Fizz cardstock, ribbon and ink. I also used Scor Tape for the glitter and the stamp set is called Heart Prints. Thanks for taking a look!

New Class at A Million Memories

There's a new class starting this coming Saturday over at A Million Memories. It is being taught by one of our fabulous design team members Corien. She does some really beautiful work. Here are a few sneak peaks of the mini album she'll be teaching you how to make. Guaranteed to have lots of flowers if you are a flower girl. Hop on over and sign up....here.

I hope to be back tomorrow with my projects from the AMM February kit...we're behind schedule due to CHA. But, I have two layouts done and hope to get one more done as well as a card and a little project that will have a little tutorial!
