May Bossy Scrapper

It's always fun to play along with Andrea Ancich and the girls at bossyscrapper.blogspot.com.  They make a list of supplies, give you an example and tell you to make your own layout using all those supplies.  Very Bossy if you ask me, but so much fun.  I attempted the layout for May.

The May Challenge...
1. one photo
2. four patterned papers
3. two colors of cardstock
4. three different alpha or fonts
5. three stickers
6. a repetitive shape or pattern
7. a number
8. an arrow
9. wood embellishment(s)
10. washi
11. a button
12. thread
13. mist or ink
14. girl or boy shape (bonus points for both!)

My interpretation...

Thanks so much ladies.  I had tons of fun. 

Memorial Weekend Crafting

I had such a great and relaxing time scrapbooking Sunday night with a great friend.  I used a Gossamer Blue kit featuring the DIY Crate paper line and Maggie Holms and had a ton of fun.  I also threw in some Honey Project Life Cards and DIY Instagram transparencies.

I have found a stack of photos of Ellie when she was a baby to scrapbook.  It is a great trip down memory lane.  :)

Mother's Day Cards + One More

As always, I end up staying up late the night before a birthday or holiday making cards to go with gifts for the people I love.  I was smart this time.  I decided with the extras I would put together a extra Birthday card.  :)

Creating Keepsakes Convention Portland

Nothing is better than time with good friends...especially if we are scrapbooking.  ;)  Our girls weekend was fun.  I completed a mini album and several pages.  An overall great weekend.

 

 

 

Scrap Happy Retreat

I love making new friends and scrapbooking.  So when given the opportunity to go to the Scrap Happy retreat I took it.  I made many new friends and got tons of work done that weekend.  I also was introduced to some fun party games.  Below are a few of the layouts I did that weekend.  

Seattle King Tut Exhibit Album

One of Shawn and my goals for 2012 was to get to go to the King Tut Exhibit in Seattle.  We ended up making it for our anniversary.  I put together a small album of the trip.  Unfortunately I can't figure out how to open the album to lay it flat enough to take a photo while holding the camera in one hand and the album in the other.  lol.  So for now enjoy the cover.  :)

December Daily 2012

I finally finished my December Daily Album.  I love the chubbiness of the album and the fullness of activities we participated in this month.  So much happened and I love that we will be able to look back at it every Christmas.  The papers and most embellishments are by Pink Paislee and the Album is made by Studio Calico and painted silver.  These are just a sampling of the pages.  Video will be coming soon.  ;)

Bossy Fun and Time with a Great Friend

It is always fun to get together with friends and scrapbook.  Diana and I got together last week and created like crazy while watching the 25th Anniversary edition of Phantom of the Opera.  Here are a couple layouts I did that night which includes one I made for the Bossy Scrapper.  I realized after I took these pictures today that I spelled "Mommy's" wrong on the first layout.  At least it will be an easy fix.  :)

 
This page I did a couple weeks before that but just never posted.  :)
