A card and a layout...

This card is inspired by this weeks sketch over at Card Positioning Systems. I had a busy weekend fulfilling orders for four sets of cards. Went to clean up the mess that I had made on my desk and felt the urge to make one more card with the scraps that were laying around. So I turned to CPS for a quick jumpstart and this was how mine turned out.

This is one of my latest favorite layouts. I love how soft and feminine it turned out. I applied those doily rub ons to a very thin sheet of wood. I love how the two look together. The little flutter of hearts along the left hand side of the photos is from a large Bella Blvd. flower that I cut and separated all of the petals and lined them up along the edge. Such a lovely soft touch. Not to mention those photos...could she be any cuter? Of course her mommy doesn't think so!

We've been given the all clear to share our projects with the new products from Clear Scraps. I have the cutest little banner that I made, just need to attach the pieces to one another and take some photos and I'll post it for you all to take a look see.

The last of winter....

I'm not sure what the weather outside will be doing, but as far as my craftiness this table top decor will be the last of my winter themed projects. Did this one for my Bo Bunny blog assignment. I used the Tis the Season line for this.  I also put my Cricut to use for the sentiment. They are difficult to see in the photo, but do you notice those cute little snowballs? They are called Snow Drops and I got a good sized package of them at one of our local craft stores for 90% off! I'll be using them for a lot of projects next winter.

This next layout is from a scraplift that the A Million Memories design team of a page that one of our members had done. The original layout was by Danielle Flanders, she does such pretty work that it was a fun and easy assignment to do!

Just about one more week until CHA. Wait until you see the products that Bo Bunny and Clear Scraps have coming out. The BB lines and the colors are awesome...lots of options for boy pages and since I have three of those that makes me very happy! Clear Scraps has some fun new banners and mixed albums. I have an adorable baby banner done, just need to assemble the pieces together and get some pics and I'll share it with you.

A Million Memories January kit

This kit was packed full of Webster's Pages and Prima goodness. I made four layouts with it and plenty left to do more or to get some cards done. If you are interested in the kit go here to pick one up.

THis first one is my favorite. Took these pics of my dd on the way to see Santa. I can't wait to run across more of the Basic Grey Origins line, I think I need it all! I used the chipboard letters that were included in the kit as a mask for some Glimmer Mist for the word 'away'.

Had fun with some two tone stitching on this one. Used some more Glimmer Mist behind the words on this one.

Of course with the start of the New Year had to have a layout based on this topic right?!

This last layout is based on a sketch by one of our fellow design team members Lucy Edson. We have a new monthly feature. One of the design team members will be providing a sketch that goes along with the kit. The design team members will all make a layout using the kit based on that sketch. We hope some of the members will join in on the fun!

Just a tad over two weeks left for CHA! Woo hoo! Always so much fun! I can't wait to see all of my AMM girls as well as many other friends that I have made in this industry! I'm busy working on CLear Scraps stuff for their booth. I'll make sure to come back and post it all when I can.

Mix it UP!

Have you ever tried working on acrylic??? How about an album that is a mix of acrylic and chipboard??? Sounds like fun huh? Well, Clear Scraps has released some new albums that are a mix of both of those things. In such a fun size too. The dimensions of this album are about 6x12". This one is full of butterfly and flower shapes. You can check out the other albums that are available by clicking here and looking under mixables on the left hand side of the page.

I used My Mind's Eye papers for this, painty pens around the edges of the acrylic pages and Hambly doily rub ons for the cover and the last page (those are my favorite thing right now!!!)

Anybody know what tomorrow is????? Back to school!!!! :)

Sharing some Collage Press

Me thinks I am the luckiest! Lucky to work with one of my very most favoritest (yes, that is a word ;) ) manufacturers of all time. These two layouts were made using their newest line Joyride. The colors in this line are so "me".  I adore how the colors just perfectly coincide with many of the papers from their "Knave of Hearts" and "Sweet Shoppe" lines.

In this first layout, I am absolutely positive that the striped paper was made just to match my daughter's hat.

This next layout has a photo that just cracks me up! We didn't have a chance last year to go visit Santa before a large snowstorm hit and basically closed our city down. So on Christmas morning we had my step dad pose as Santa. The hat is a toddler size hat (way too tall for a 6'5" man) and we just could not get Santa to smile for the photo. Four of those kiddos are mine, the fifth and youngest is my sweet little niece.

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas. Ring in the new with those you love and I'll be back with a Clear Scraps album real soon!

Bo Bunny Lovin'

Hi Scrappy friends! (and non scrappy if any of you read this!)

I can't believe that there is only 5 days left until Christmas...where did the time go?

Thought I'd take a break from all of the baking that I have been doing and post a few Bo Bunny projects. I have to say that I feel so lucky to be a part of this company, their products make me oh so happy!!!!

First up a vertical banner made with the Tis the Season line and one of the mixed up chipboard albums.
The glittery snowflake behind each letter is made with the new snowflake stamp that is part of the Snowy Serenade line, it is a beauty!

Then a big snowflake made using the St. Nick line.

And the final installment for today, a paper mache star also using the St. Nick line.

Don't you just love that vintage Santa stamp? The snowflake and the star and both big, each are about a foot wide. That snowflake is hanging on a friends (hi Tina!) mantle and I must say it looks great right where she put it!

Hope you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Enjoy your time with your family and friends.

I'll be back after Christmas with some Collage Press for you!

Here are my projects made wtih their kit this month. This first one was made using a sketch by fellow design team member Staci Cohen

This next one is a frame that I took the glass out of.

And lastly a card that has pocket on the front to hold a gift card.

Ugh! I am SOOOO behind on Christmas shopping it is not even funny! Plus, a sick kid today. Just not helping matters at all.
