Got Snow?

I made this layout for mnewby's swap over at SCS. I CASED this layout from the cover of Creating Keepsakes magazine. I really like the colors and how this layout came out. I used some Glimmer Mist in Dazzling Diamonds on the title to add a little sparkle. The border punches are Martha Stewart and EK Success. I cut the snowflakes on my Cricut from the Joys of the Season cartridge. The paper is AC Cardstock, Bazzill, ATD's Jack Frost. The snowflake border is from Recollections. Enjoy!!

Relaxing!

I am trying to use up supplies I received in swaps. So quick and easy to throw a layout together with this border sets! I got this border set from a good swapping buddy of mine, NancyLuvsMickey. I just love the colors. I only added the photo mats and the background card stock. She did the rest!

Competing Princesses Again!

Whoo hoo! My blog sisters are at it again. We are having a friendly little competition amongst ourselves. There are two groups and each month the host for that month sends their group an image, solid card stock, DP, and some embellies.  Then we go to work designing a card with our kits. It is fun to see what everyone does with the identical kits. My group's hostess for this month is the fabulous Marsha and here is my card:

Halloween Fun!

I have been working on Halloween pages. These are actually current pictures too! I really crammed a lot of pictures onto this one LOL! The bats and the pumpkin were from a page candy swap. The DP is Basic Grey's Eerie. The border bunch is a Martha Stewart punch.

Best Friends

We have been having some wonderful weather the last few days. It feels like Spring!! I am sure it will get cold again soon enough. Here is another scrapbook layout! I made this for a secret sister swap on SCS. The theme was, yep you guessed it, "Best Friends." This is such a fun swap. You exchange pictures and make a layout for your secret sister. It so fun to to make something for some else and get something back. Such a great way to get a page done for your album!

Basic Grey Curio

I'm Baaaaaacccccccccck!

I haven't posted in a while. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing! I had a lot going on in January and an unexpected death in the family right after Christmas. I kind of lost some of my scrapping mojo. I hope it comes back soon!

I made this LO using one of Basic Grey's page of the month kits. I still haven't found just the right pictures and I am missing the title. I will get it done soon, promise!

A Very Merry Christmas!

Wishing every one and their families a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I made this Christmas cards two weeks and I am finally getting around to posting it! These are the cards that I sent out this year. I got the idea for my card from one of my Paper Princess Blog Sisters, Melina. She makes the best clean and simple cards. She made a beautiful snowflake card and scored the bottom of her card. I had this cute stamp but didn't know what to do with it until I saw her card.  I used Tsukineko Memento Cottage Ivy and Brilliance Galaxy Gold. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Cars

I know it has been a while. I have been busy, busy, busy and haven't had much time to craft but finally I was able to sit down and make this layout for a swap on SCS. I just love this swap! It is a secret sister type of swap but instead of sending goodies you send a completed layout (pictures and all). I made this for Terria (also one of my Paper Princess Blog Sisters) so it was an extra special layout. She asked that I leave room for journaling and for some chipboard embellishments she had. I love how the layout came out and all the colors.

Family

A girl friend invited me to an all day crop last month and I have a lot of pages I started but need to finish! This is one of them.  I finally finished it up with the title. I wish I had a darker color or maybe I might add some glitter to title. I also embroidered the "F" onto the page. I would have embroidered the entire title but the paper has a white core and it it shows through when the needle goes through. Oh well!
