WOYWW #221

It's Wednesday and another What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday! I was looking through an album trying to find a set of pictures. I was sure I hadn't scrapped them but couldn't find the pix! I was right and hadn't scrapped them, but I saw a LO in the album that I wasn't happy with and decided to try and "fix" it.
I removed a die cut that said Bon Voyage and looked rather plain and so I added these waves. I had cut them out for another project and had extra that I had saved. I also saved the negative of the cuts, cuz you never know if you might need it!



                         

                          

WOYWW #220

Well, I was feeling a little peer pressure, or maybe just a little left out since several of my blog buddies have been participating on What's on Your Wordesk Wesdnesday. So I thought I would give it a go this week!

I don't have a lot going on right now! I thought I'd show you most of my work space.  I do have one scrap page I started but don't really care it for at this moment and I haven't gone back to work on it. I just keep looking at it and hope it grows on me.  I need to decide if I am tossing the papers and starting with new, nicer paper that I like! 

                                             

                                             

Christmas Surprises

Hello and happy August! I have two out of three kids back in school. One left to go. I am so not ready for summer to end!  I am still not spending a whole lot of time crafting. Okay, actually I'm not spending any time crafting! I do have one layout to share that I managed to squeeze in some time to make. I used BasicGrey's Eskimo Kisses collection to make this page. I used a Rolodex punch to punch the top of the journal spot to mimic a notebook page. I also added a Sizzix die cut behind the felt poinsettia.

BasicGrey - Olivia Layout

Happy July! Sorry I have been missing for the last two months but it is summer and I spend more time outdoors than indoors this time of year. There hasn't been much time to get crafty much less get on the computer.  Between yard work, house guests and enjoying our lazy summer days in the pool I haven't had time to craft. So I just wanted to make a quick post today to let you know I am still around, just not as much.

I used BasicGrey's Olivia and the fabric flowers are from Prima. There is one flower from BaiscGrey but is from a hair clip!  I just took the flower off the clip, and voila, instant embellishment! I also cut two flowers from my Cricut (Accent Essentials cartridge) to layer under one of the fabric flowers.

Happy Wednesday! Today I have an altered notebook to share. This is for a gift for a young girl. I used my Cricut to make all the elements on the notebook. I just discovered the Flower Shoppe cartridge and I just love it!

I used the following cartridges on this project: Joys of the Season, Flower Shoppe, Gypsy Font, Gypsy Wanderings.

BasicGrey and National Scrapbook Day #4

Hello again! Here is another layout for the BasicGrey National Scrapbook Challenge. There are 11 challenges all together! For this challenge create a project where the top half features all of your photos and embellishments and the bottom half is left alone to allow for white space. Click here to see the original challenge.

I had these two itty, bitty wallet size photos that someone took with their cell phone. I would have printed them at 4x6 if I could, but the resolution just wasn't high enough. This challenge seemed like it might work for these pictures.

I used another old collection, Origins. I am down to my last 12 full size sheets so I need to make them count! The solid cardstock is Bazzill.

BasicGrey & National Scrapbook Day #3

Here is my third post today for BasicGrey's National Scrapbook Day. The challenge was to use a craft knife or scissors to cut around the design on patterned paper.

Another easy one. This is an easy way to make embellishments for your layout! I used a combination of Wassail and Jovial to make this layout. I cut out the large poinsettia from a sheet of MerryMaker and the gifts and ornament from a sheet of Nipping. I really like Jovial and wish I had some more!

Okay, so I made this layout after the circle layout with all the white space. So maybe I got a little carried with the patterned paper!

BasicGrey & National Scrapbook Day #2

Here is my second layout for BasicGrey's National Scrapbook Day Challenge. The challenge was to punch or cut circles out of patterned paper and use as the main element on your project.

Easy Peasy! I used Two Scoops to create this layout. I know this is a very old line of paper but I like it and I have LOTS of it! LOL

Here is a link to the original challenge.

BasicGrey & National Scrapbook Day!!!!

Hello and happy Sunday! Yesterday was National Scrapbook Day. BasicGrey had a whole bunch of inspiring challenges on their blog. This is the first page I created. The challenge was to use non-holiday themed paper to document a holiday. So I decided to scrap an Easter picture. I do have other paper with cute bunnies and eggs and cute saying like Hippity Hoppity but this challenges seemed fun to do something different.

The pattern paper is all from Hello Luscious, the brads are from Olivia, and the journalling tag is from Green at Heart. I cut the title out with my Cricut using the Jasmine cartridge.

The solid card stock is from DCWV. The solid green card stock with the Hello Luscious collection was a little lighter than I wanted. The DCWV was just right!

You're A Star!

Hello and happy Wednesday! I hope every one is having a great May Day!! Time sure is flying by. Speaking of time flies, the little guy in this layout is now 11 years and 7 months old!

For this layout I used a sketch I found at the Let's Scrap site. I used BasicGrey's Oliver collection  for this layout and a teeny tiny bit of KaiserCraft DP and Bazzill card stock. I used my Cricut to cut out the large star and circles.
