Summer Mini Album

I cheated a bit on this album- but added a ton of extras for my partner to add as many pictures as possible, and a few tags for journaling. I bought this album as a kit from Michaels- the brand being Me and My Big Ideas. Lotsa cute embellies to make this mini shine!

Please leave some love, and let me know what you think! What do you like? What do you dislike? If I am unable to post before the end of the week, I wish everyone a blessed and happy 4th of July weekend!

Happy Mother's Day!

Here is the Mother's Day card that I made for my mother. I handmade the flower using a Stampin' Up! Scallop circle punch. I will eventually make a video on how to make these. Super easy! I used a Stampin' Up! Sizzix Sizzlit to create the leaves, and two retired Stampin' Up! Stamps for the sentiment and images. These stamps were at the scrapbooking retreat I stayed at! Michelle's Memory Loft in La Porte Indiana is a real treasure! If anyone has the chance to go, please do! Reasonable prices, and just a gorgeous place to stay! Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think! Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's, grandmas, and mom's to be out there!!!

Rock Sensation

Hello everyone! I am here reporting from LaPorte Indiana at a crop house called Michelle's Memory Loft! This place is amazing! What a hidden gem! I have completed 3 scrapbook layouts since yesterday, and am pretty pleased with the great ideas and feedback coming from the ladies here. Today's post is to show you the first scrapbook page I made using the Hannah Montana Cricut cartridge. My daughter competed in an air guitar contest in 2008. She didnt win, but I sure had fun watching her and the other competitors! Here is the completed layout of that night.

I would love to hear what you think! Please let me know! Thanks! Have a happy Thursday!

Enjoy the good Times Layout

Hello Everyone! Happy Wednesday!!! I hope you are all having a fabulous week! I am doing pretty good. Got two of eight birthday cards made for the coming birthdays. I am seeing some more scrapbooking in my near future! (Along with finishing those cards OF COURSE!) Today's post is to show you a layout of my daughter and I before I left Alaska to care for my grandmother in Wisconsin. She stayed with her dad for about 4 months. It was the hardest thing I've ever done! This layout was showing one of our bonding moments before I left. I'll treasure these photos forever. Cassie is 3 years old in this layout. I used K&Co. Cardstock for the background, and Soft Spoken stickers as the embellishments, along with some bling. The journal tags were made using a Stampin' Up! punch. Its one of my favorites BY FAR!

Thanks so much for looking! I love seeing comments on what you think! Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Thank You Card

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week! I made this Thank You card last night, and really love this little girl! I got this image from a crafting  buddy of mine, Teri. Thanks so much Teri! I hope I did her justice! :) I used smaller notecard base to make this card. I used spellbinders nestabilities to cut the scalloped circle. I then embossed that scalloped circle using the Divine Swirl embossing folder. I colored this little girl using prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I added some sheer ribbon, punched from my SU punch, and stamped sentiment with my SU stamp set, Smooch Spritz for shimmer, some bling, and inked the edges with Timber Brown Staz-On ink. I used Viva Decor Blue pearl pen to add a little oomph to the sentiment. Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think!

Have a great day!

Holiday Chaos

Hello to all of my followers! I am sorry for the lack of posts the last week or so! I will do my best to catch up on all the chaos from the holidays! Anyone have plans for New Year's Eve? This year is the first time in 3 years that we will be able to go out and spend the night out with my brother and his wife. I am pretty excited.

I do have some photos to show of some mini cards I made for my partner in my GIBBS swap. I altered a glue dots box and put all 12 cards inside. I hope you like them!

Friendship Mini Album

Here are some pictures of the friendship mini album I made. I really like how it turned out. I tried getting the best pictures I could. Sorry the pages are not in order. Each page has a matching background (if that makes sense!). Please tell me what you think!

COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU!

Happy Birthday Steph!

This card I made for a good friend of mine! I sure hope she likes it! Happy Birthday Steph!

I used a Stampin Up stamp for the sentiment, and a stamped image that was colored I got from Peachy! Thanks so much hun! :) I distressed the edge of the stamped image, and inked both stamped sentiment and image with timber brown Staz-On ink. I chalked the edges of the base of the card with VersaMagic Chalk ink.

Please let me know what you think!

Have a wonderful day!

Vintage/ Distressed Mini Album

This mini album was made for my partner Claudia on the Cricut Messageboard. I really am happy with how quickly I was able to make it! I made it in ONE DAY! Can you believe that?! I can't! LOL! I was on a roll, and just kept going! The more and more I look at it, the more and more I like it. I used a ton of different elements, and I hope my partner likes what I made. I used Tim Holtz stamps that my friend Peachy let me borrow. She is such a sweetheart! Thanks so much Peachy!  I used Distress Stickles, several stick pins I am unsure of the name brand. I used ribbon galore- I always fall for sheer. I think it makes projects look nicer and blend much better. I had some tim holtz tattered floral cuts from when I was in branson, along with the flourish on the front. I like how it gave the feel of the book. BEWARE: THERE ARE LOTS OF PICTURES TAKEN!!! There are so many details, and I wanted to catch as many as I could.

Please leave a comment, and let me know what you think! Thanks a bunch!
