New album

Been spending a lot of time in my scrapbook room. Since school is out my life and schedule is so off. I need to get on a different schedule. Then just when I get use to the new schedule, school starts back!

I have been working on a cascading chipboard album. I was at Joanns and they had these albums marked down so I grabbed one. I have never made one of these before. They were easy until I made a few boo boos. I decorated each page at different times. I had just completed a page and noticed that I embellished it on the wrong corner. So I had to punched new holes and somehow cover the holes. I made the little tree trunk out of some fabric that I had laying around. After all the boo boos I have to say that it turned out pretty cute. I wanted a bright and summer feel to the album.

Have a great day!

Cool graphics and a beauty

I was going through my vintage graphics and found some neat ones that I thought I would share. I also have some beautiful pictures of Hannah and Mason that I wanted to share. These were taken at Easter. She looked so pretty in her purple dress. Got to get my scrapbooking mojo going and get these pictures in my album!

Have a great day and be kind to each other!

Where has the time gone!

WoW! So much has happened since my last post. School got out, my husband left for a seven day trip to France, been scrapbooking like crazy, rushing to sign our son up for camps(found two really good ones) and my grandson came for a nice visit and sleep over.

Over at Memorable Seasons they had a challenge to create a layout in your favorite color. You could only use one color. At first I thought this was going to be hard. Once I got started it was so easy. I picked my color, pink, and everything just fell into place. I used some old Prima paper..Nursery Tales that I found at Michaels. The 96 sheet pad was 9.99. I wish they had more I would have grabbed another one. I created the banner from scratch. The vine is from Dusty Attic and I added some shine with my fruit punch stickles. I don't think it is possible for me to create a layout without the following...flowers, butterflies or stickles.

Take care and be kind to one another!

Until next time..

Bo Bunny Timepiece album

I wanted to create something special to celebrate my husband and sons relationship. I must admit that this album was so hard for me because I did not use one flower or butterfly! Now I know it can be done!

I really didn't have a plan for this, I just went with the flow. Well having Bo Bunny's Timepiece collection helped a lot. Burlap and clocks were going to be the main embellishments for this album. I chose some of my favorite pictures to showcase and I wrote each of them a special note. I think I cried the whole time I created this album:) They were good tears.

Below is what I came up with.

Take care and be kind to one another!

Graphic 45 wedding layout

I finally had some time to create a layout for my personal albums. I found some pictures of my mom's side of the family in the garage (about had a heart attack!) I grabbed them up and brought them inside. My husband and I went through them and it was like finding buried treasure! There were some of my great grandmother dating back to the early 1900's.

So my husband scanned each one (about 100) and oh the memories. I was overwhelmed. Bittersweet I guess is the way to describe it. I knew that it was time to create a family album. So this lead to asking my mom to sit at the computer, go through each one and write down everything she can remember for each picture. When I came upon the picture of my uncle getting married I knew that I had to start with that. He was my favorite uncle and he died in a plane crash in 1973. I was seven and still remember that strange time in my family. I figured out in 2007 when my husband gave me Celine Dion tickets for my birthday that I was afraid to fly. It took a lot of soul searching, but that December in 2007 I got on that plane and saw one of the greatest show ever!

So below is the layout that I created. I used Graphic 45 le romantique collection (thank you Donna!). I handmade the flower in the bottom left corner. It took me about an hour. To get that aged look I used a lighter to lightly burn each end of the ribbon. I then inked each one. The button I picked up at Joann's. I distressed the edges and the butterflies I found on line. I did a lot of fussy cutting, this was my first attempt at fussy cutting. It was pretty easy.

So this is the first of many more vintage layouts. I hope to get a least one or two a month complete.

Take care and be kind to one another!

New layouts

After a 3 week battle with sickness (me and my son) I finally got to have some fun time in my scrapbook room. I had this layout running around in my head for weeks. I wanted to create a layout for Hannah my granddaughter. Whimsical and with lots of flourish. After I finished with her layout, I wanted to create a matching one for a boy. So here is what I came up with.

I did a lot of distressing on both layouts. I think I used 6 different sheets of paper. The butterflies I found on line and all the flourish's I cut with my cricut. I think it was the storybook cartridge.

Until next time...
