Snow Swirled 12 x 12 Layout

I have wanted to try and have a scrapbook class for awhile now. I have a card class about every month and couple of years back I had three 2-page layout scrap classes and had nice attendance on the first one but no attendance on the second and third. So I thought I would try again. I’m not getting my hopes up because I know that it is the Christmas season and some may not have time to attend. We will just have to see. I love this stamp set. I have made so many variety of cards and now I have scraped with it. I have really gotten my money’s worth out of it.

Thanks for visiting and have a great evening!!

Supplies I Used:
Stamps: Snow Swirled, Just Journaling
Ink: Kiwi Kiss
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Textured Kiwi Kiss, Bella Rose

CTMH Snowman

I hope everyone enjoys the Christmas music. I spent the morning on project play list trying to find a variety of music. I’m kind of a eclectic girl when it comes to music. I like about everything but country. I also changed my background to the closest template that blogger has to go with Christmas. Grey was the only thing I could find. But grey looks good with the red play list I think. I have been working a few extra hours at one of my jobs this week and keeping up with kids so I only got to make one set of cards this week. I got the Snowman set from CTMH a couple of weeks ago and could not wait to try it out. I used the sketch challenge from last week on split coast. Hope everyone has a great weekend and Thanks for visiting!!

Autumn's Layout

My youngest daughter Autumn brought home her 8th grade pictures right before our break started. She did not like them very much but really what female likes pictures of herself. I use to dodge cameras every change I got but now I don’t fight it so much cause I know that my girls will want them when they are older. I love pictures of my family in every form so I know that they will cherish pictures of me also. I just wish I could get my mom and husband to understand this to. Anyways as soon as she brought her pictures to me I knew I wanted to do a 12 x 12 layout of the 5x7. I usually do not do 12 x 12 layouts of one picture but I thought this one was to cute to add other pictures with. I realize that this time next year her braces will be off ( heaven help her Dad and Me) and her looks will change yet again so I wanted to preserve this image. Both my girls are growing up so fast. My oldest will graduate high school next year!!! Wow!! I do not think I am ready for them to grow up. Don’t you wish sometimes you could zap them back little again.

I used mostly Close to My Heart supplies for this page. The flowers where white and I mixed create-a-shade paint (CTMH) and groovy guava re-inker (SU) and sponge painted it over both flowers until they where completely covered. I really like the pearly shine it gave the flowers.

Supplies I used:
Stamps: Homestead Alpha (CTMH)
Paper: Evensong CTMH kit and Sorbet
Ink: Old Olive (SU), Groovy Guava re-inker
Big Blossoms, create-a-shade paint, holiday buttons, hollyhock rick-rack ribbon, sorbet marker (all CTMH), Top Note Die (SU)

Snow Swirled Class

These are three of the five cards I will be having at my monthly card class this evening. I thought with the holidays coming it would be a good time to make some Christmas cards. I really like this set because it can easily be used on cards or scrap booking. As you can tell I like to use non-traditional colors on Christmas cards. I will be off from both jobs all next week for Thanksgiving so I hope to get more time to create and blog.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!!!

Shaker Village

This is the second layout I have completed on my days off. This layout is of our boat ride at Shakers Village when we went to Lexington on my Hubby’s 40th. I was inspired by the WICKED challenge on the demo only forum on split coast. The wicked challenge is to use only current SU products but I used Basic Grey paper and Prima flowers so I will not list it under the challenge but I loved the sketch so I wanted to give credit where it is due. Well I need to get a shower so I can go vote!! Boy am I nervous to see how it all comes out. Oh I go swap cards yesterday and WOW are they wonderful. Some very talented ladies is all I can say.

Stamps: Inspired by Nature

UK Big Blue Madness

I am off from work today and tomorrow and I am finally getting some scrapping done. This is the first layout I finished so far today. It is of out day trip for Jerry’s 40th birthday Oct. 10th. This layout is of the Big Blue Madness scrimmage we went to that evening. I used our tickets and a big badge a local channel was giving out for embellishments. I cut off the pin on back with wire cutters and doubled up on foam on back to make it stick. I actually cut the foam that holds pop dots and stuck it on back. I hate to waste. I also used SU five petal, scallop circle and circle punches to make my own embellishments. The buttons are from Wal-mart and the cardstock is CTMH textured.

Thanks for visiting and have a good day!!!

Some Birthday Cards and Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #28

Wow has my life been busy!!! I have not gotten to post in awhile because of work, family and really because I am just to tired to type in the evenings. I have gotten to play some in my room this week and hopefully will get to play a lot this weekend since I will be off Monday and Tuesday from work. Wohoo!! I hope to get some scrapping done. I need to get some pages done of our puppy and some more pages from our trip this summer. Well anyways here are some birthday cards I have made this week.

Swap Cards

I join my first swap ever this week. Well I have swaped with the girls in my upline from SU before but never one where you make several cards and send them all to one person. The Swap was from Spitcoast it was on the forum of SU Demo users. It was a WOW 10 + 1 swap. I join two groups so I end up making two sets of eleven cards. You had to us only SU products and have four layers and three embellishments. I was a little low on Christmas looking paper so I had to reverse the pattern paper on the Kiwi and Riding Hood cards. Let me tell you I am a little nervous!!!! Will the Post office get my cards there safely?? Will everyone like my cards?? And many more questions pop into my head. I can’t wait to see everyone’s cards and let me tell you I’m not good at waiting!! I am getting a some Stampin’ Up! Goodies this week so that will have to tide me over until the cards come. Well I hope everyone has a good weekend!! I need to go eat before I fall over faint.

Remaining cards for my Mom's gift set

I finished my Mom’s set of cards last week but with my daughters’ basketball games have not had time to post them. I made eight cards total and use the same CTMH set on all for them. I used different sketch challenges from split coast and different blogs. It has been a week and I can not remember where they all came from. I am now working on a Halloween set and some other Halloween projects that I hope to post tomorrow. Autumn’s Middle School games are over for now until she starts playing with the freshmen team in November. She loves playing Basketball but I think she will be glad for a few weeks rest before practice starts again. So now I should have more time to create and post.

Garden Card Magazine Holder

I am working on this set for my mom as part of a gift for her birthday. She is very hard to buy for. She is not into any hobby or colleting anything and she is kind of picky about her cloths. So my sister and I took her out to eat and this set and some mums for the front of her house is what I plan to give her. She is 73 now and has everything so I want to give her something I have made and she will have some cards on hand when she needs them. I have four made and plan to make copies of them until the holder is full. I will most likely have it all done by Friday. I used the CTMH stamp set of the Month Treasure Life. I like the garden look of this set. I also got a SU order of new paper and sets today and can’t wait to play with them.

Supplies I used:

Sets: CTMH Treasure Life, Say it in Style
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, River Rock
