American Crafts Design Team Tryout Page 2

I am almost done. Yeah! I have a fun project planned next so I better get started or I will be up really late tonight. Midnight oil is somtimes good though. It makes me more creative. In the long run it really doesn't matter. I enjoy the creativeness of making things from a set of products to enter these contests. :)

This page was made from American Crafts items. All papers except the brown background and Journal Strips are American Crafts. The Flair button, Blue Banner (except fabric), and the felt flowers are also American Crafts.

Pages From My Anniversary Trip to Seattle

I have a very loving husband that didn't mind me scrapbooking on our anniversary trip this last week. Rocket Age by October Afternoon is one of my new favorite lines. It was so much fun to work with.

American Crafts Design Team Tryout Page 1

This layout took longer than usual because I wanted to make sure the love Josh showed to me with his little hearts showed through my page. I think it turned out really well. All papers are American Crafts with the Exception of the journal spot which is October Afternoon. The embellishment hearts are made by Joshua with a Martha Stewart Punch and the Flare and brad was made by American Crafts. I used my sewing machine to stitch all the papers together.

American Crafts Design Team Tryout Card

Having lots of fun creating projects with American Crafts lines. For this tryout we need two layouts, a card, and a project. So I started with the card. :)

Craft Warehouse Assignment #6- Part 3

This project is a Designers choice. I decided to make a mini album from the Cosmo Cricket papers and photos of things Ellie loves at six. I used Cosmo Cricket papers, buttons, cardstock, Dark Brown chalk ink, fabric, ribbon, tiny type and lots of glue. I sanded down the game pieces to paint them brown with the chalk ink pad to avoid the look of a Christmas layout.

Craft Warehouse Inspired Hair Clip

Originally these two flowers were supposed to be placed on my layout but they were too big and Ellie liked them a lot so I made her a hair clip. :) The flower is made from Glubers, fabric, a Tim Holtz Game piece and a hair clip. Jennifer Coweles from the 2010 Design Team placed hers on a headband. That is what gave me the idea. ;)

Facebook Flair Contest

I decided to enter the Facebook Flair contest. I have been a long time fan of Flair so I already had a project photoed and done. This is my project. I will need my friends and family to vote for me on Monday.

I took a few photos of Ellie today for my next Craft Warehouse project. I am titling it "6 Things I love at 6."

1. Hugs from Family
2. Outside
3. Jesus
4. Bedtime Animals
5. New Movies
6. Swimming

Craft Warehouse Assignment #6- Part 2

This last layout was great. Josh made this hat in Sunday school and was so excited to share that Jesus was alive with everyone. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket and the envelope and tissue tape from Tim Holtz.

Photo Idea "Smash" Book

I didn't think I would like the idea of the Smash Book. No scrapbooking, just slapping ideas and information into a book? Then I decided I needed to collect some ideas to photograph my cousin's wedding. I needed something easy to use but I wanted it to look nice enough that it wouldn't be trashy at the wedding ceremony. :) the smash book is perfect. It is also addicting. Craft Warehouse had several of the accessories and they are all reasonably priced. I probably would have bought more if they had it. I was hooked. I designed a very simple cover for it today. I think it looks great.

Craft Warehouse Blog Entry

I am having a fun time with Becca's sketch from the Craft Warehouse Blog Party. I made the background then went to put the final layout together and found out it turned into Laura's challenge. lol Here it is...

Final Entries for the Allison Davis Design Team Contest

I am so excited that I am going to be able to enter the Allison Davis Design Team contest. I had fun with this challenge. I wish I would have had a little more time to perfect the pages and photos.

Craft Warehouse Blog Party

I am very excited to be contributing to the Craft Warehouse Blog Party. The blog party is a place where you can play games and see the ideas of other people. Five members of the Design Team will be hosting and I am one of them. There are prizes and it should be loads of fun. The Blog Party will run from this Friday May 20-Tuesday the 25th. This is a sneak peak of a layout I completed for one of the challenges.




I hope you will come and join us, make some projects, and bring some friends. You can even participate in your jammies. (No one would even know!)Hope to see you and your projects soon. Consider this your official invitation!
