Mid-Week Scrapbooking Fun

Last minute Diana called and said you want to come up to TriCities to Scrapbook tonight? I said "Yeah!" In the three hours I was there I completed two pages. It was lots of fun and I ate lots of Reeses Pieces. :)

Wedding Gift

I am ready to present the pictures I took of my cousin's wedding to her for her wedding gift. I found this frame at Hobby Lobby. I loved the 5x7 frames and the smooth black finish. I decided to put all black and white photos in the frame with the exception of a little color in the middle photo. The couple loved it.

Brandi's Wedding

I took pictures at my cousins wedding a few weeks ago. Out of the thousand photos these stand out as my top ten. :)

American Crafts Design Team Tryout Project

I made it. I completed all the pieces I need to compete in the American Crafts Design Team Contest. This last project was inspired by all the different frames I kept seeing in the photos and movies from CHA. The hanging paper globes and hearts are inspired by Hambly. All of the patterned paper is by American Crafts as well as the Thickers and several of the ribbons. The clothes pins and wire are bought at
Walmart.

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.

Photos of Ellie

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.
