Disney Album ~ Part V

I finally feel like I am making a little headway with this fun album for my friend Jenny.

Hope you aren't getting sick of seeing the album. I will try and have a card for you tomorrow besides just the album.

Now here is a picture of the beautiful stain glassed crystal bevel snowflake that Jenny made for me in exchange for this album. The picture does not do it justice it is so big and beautiful and I have it hanging in my kitchen window. It measures about 15".

Disney Album - Part IV

Slowly but surely this is starting to come together. Thought I was going to pull my hair out trying to come up with an idea for these two pages. But now that they are done I LOVE them.

I didn't have any patterned paper for the rides so decided to do basic colors that went with my Disney rub-ons. My light hit the picture kind of funny in the bottom photo so disregard that portion.

Enjoy!

NO ~ not another valentine!

What can I say I am in a flower making mode and everything is getting flowers lately.

This card is for the new challenge over at Our Creative Corner they have a new Thursday sketch up and a new Design Team to introduce. I want to say congrats to my friend Rose who is on the DT.

Here is the sketch and my card.

I have used the Simple Valentine papers & Holiday Buttons from PTI, Martha Stewart leaf punch, Marvy circle and dogwood punch, sentiment is PTI Signature Sayings.

Enjoy!

BUTTONS

It is a snowy morning here in Minneapolis and I have a card to share with you. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew it was for me. lol

The Sketch Challenge is from Limelight and the challenge is to use this sketch and buttons. Well you all know how much I LOVE buttons.

For this card I used Neenah natural white & Pop-Tone orange cardstock, Making Memories "autumn splendor", bazzill, PTI dark chocolate buttons & thread. The flower is Marvy punch and on one of the flowers I stamped a hero arts birthday sentiment in sepia ink.

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part III

Okay I have another 2 pages done and thought I would post them. Hopefully, you aren't getting tired of looking at these. I promise to do a card tomorrow.

I really like how these two pages turned out now I just need to decide if I am going to journal around the SWIM picture. What do you think?

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part II

I took some more time today to work on the Disney Album for my friend and here are the next two pages that I completed. So now that makes 4 pages done and about 20 more to go.

I am hoping I can continue to do 2 or more pages done so I can get the book to my friend Jenny while they still remember all the fun they had.

Enjoy!

BOO

I know you are asking yourself why am I doing a Halloween post, well the picture I have happens to work with this weeks challenge over at Sketches by Tamara. This is my first time doing a challenge over here and I think I will be doing quite a few in the coming weeks.

I love this Halloween photo of Cassie Jo and Micah. This is an 8x8 page that will go into Micah's scrapbook and I still need to do one for Cassie's book which is a 12x12.

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part I

I am working on an 8x8 album of a Disney trip that my friend Jenny and her family went on this past September.

These are the first two pages that I completed which are actually the last two pages in the book. I am working from back to front.

My friend Jenny made me a beautiful beveled crystal hanging snowflake for my Kitchen window and I am doing the book for her in return. The snowflake is unbelievable and I will post a picture tomorrow if I can get a good shot of it hanging.

I am really hoping she will like what I do for her as I don't want to return that beautiful snowflake.

enjoy!

be mine

I love the challenge over at Stamps & Smiles this week. The challenge is to make a 3x3 box with note cards. Once again I have used my new PTI papers, stamps and buttons. I plan on giving this to Cassie Jo for Valentines Day and along with the cards I will add some candy and will write little coupons on each notecard. Not sure what the coupons will be good for yet, but probably things like spend the day together crafting, have a sleep over, etc.,

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Problem Solved (kind of)

Okay I have not found a way to fix the blogspot problem, but have found a way around it. I went back to the old editor for now. It is a lot more of a pain to post but will work until I figure out how to fix the old problem.

My card for yesterday is for the Sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday. I love this Simple Valentine Paper & stamp set from PTI, the sentiment is also PTI from the Signature Greetings set, ribbbon is May Arts and pearls are KaiserCraft.

Enjoy!

Blog Problem

Well I had a card already to post up on my blog this afternoon and now blogspot is giving me a few problems so won't be able to post it today I will be back tomorrow if it works. Don't know what the problem is but have lost the bar on blogspot that lets me upload pictures, attach links, and change fonts, etc., If you have any idea on how to fix leave me a comment.

Super Sketchy Sunday

Today's card is for Day 309 over at 365 Cards. I just love this sketch and thought it would be perfect for the birthday card I need to make my oldest Sister Sharon.

I used BasicGrey "nook and pantry" papers, PTI buttons and stamps "everyday button bits & signature greetings", Martha Stewart leaf punch, and EK Success retro flower punch.

Enjoy!

I (heart) you

I decided to do one more card challenge before retiring for the night and the CPS Challenge was just perfect for a quick and easy card.

For this card I used a new red cardstock that we got in at Anchor Paper, my PTI Simple Valentine, Martha Stewart felt heart, and May Arts ribbon.

Enjoy!

Thinking of You

A quick card for you today ~ this is for the "all sorts challenge week 33" and the challenge was to use something old or something new and the following sketch.

For this challenge I used my new PTI buttons and blooming button bits stamp set and my old BasicGrey "offbeat" paper collection.

Halloween 2009 mini-album

Okay this is the year that I am going to try and get caught up on some of my scrapbooking and first thing was to try and get this little mini-album of Halloween done for Cassie.

The mini pumpkin album is by Maya Road and then I used various items from my Halloween/Fall container.

Enjoy!

2010 Calendar Finished

I needed to finish up my 2010 calendar so that I can hang it up in the Kitchen tomorrow and take down the old one. I have been making my own calendar for at least 15 years if not longer and it is always fun to look back at the old ones to see what we were doing and how much everyone has changed.

The pictures that I pick are some of my favorites that were taken the past year. I try to keep it pretty simple and not to many embellishments.

If you scroll down further you will find the January - April pages that I posted earlier.

I am looking forward to the New Year and creating new memories for next years calendar.

Enjoy!

hugs & kisses

I have another valentine for you today and this one uses one of the first stamps other than SU that I ever bought. I use it every year on my Valentine cards. The stamp is by Penny Black, the paper and sentiments are from PTI (a Christmas gift from my son Justin), the velvet hearts are Martha Stewart.

Today's card challenge is for SSAC46.

I want to wish all of you a Happy & Healthy New Year. Do you have any resolutions for this year? My list this year is longer than normal and am just going to write them down and keep them to myself.

Enjoy!

Robots & Hearts

One of my resolutions for this year is to make every effort to post at least one card or scrapbook layout a day starting now.

This is the card I created for the Sweet Sunday Card Challenge using my new K&Co. papers called Ka-Zoo Robots and Hearts. It is just too darn cute. Matter of fact the entire collection is just too cute.

The Felt hearts and button are Martha Stewart.

Enjoy!

Paperback Books

I usually either give away the paperback books that I read but the last one that I read I did a little something different. Look at my card and see if you can tell what I created with the whole book.

Today's card is for Simply Scrapping December Card Challenege #3. Along with the sketch we are to use flowers.

I used poppystamps paper 'snow & cedar', kraft cardstock, nestabilities label 8, PTI new leaf button, gold & key lime pie glimmer mist, rangers vintage photo distressing ink, marvy large flower punch, and my Dear John paperback.

I hope you all had a great holiday spent with those you love.

Enjoy!

Miss You

My sister is downstairs reading this morning so thought I would jump on here to say that I sure am missing being creative this week. I guess we are in for a huge snowstorm starting tonight so we might be spending Christmas at home and having eggs and toast for dinner. Oh well at least I will be with family.

Thought I would share some quick pictures of Micah taken the past few days. He is now 9 months old and into everything.

Enjoy~
