Three Wishes

Since everyone seemed to like the last pages I posted (heh), I had enough courage to post another set. :)

Another super simple layout, courtesy of one of my fab sketch books (this was either CK or Becky Higgins). Tons of white space, doodles around the edges (that are blinged up with random rhinestones), and I used up a bunch of scraps!

Pretty much all of this is Creative Memories, with the exception of the Crumb Cake cardstock.

Making some progress on the books! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Tri-Fold Baby Shower

I have seen a lot of these cards posted on SCS, as well as on my talented friends' blogs. Let's just say making this was a love/hate relationship. I have a new found respect for those of you that did this with minimal foul language involved! ;)

Despite the "issues" I had, it was still made with a ton of love for a friend who is having twin boys!

Stamps: Admit It & Sentiments (SU)
Paper: Retired Creative Memories and some scraps
Ink: Bliss Blue & Chocolate Chip for shading
Accessories: Cricut, Googlie Eyes, Dew Drops, SU Buttons

I think we are packing out in 2 weeks. Yes, you did you just hear a bit of panic in my voice! While I did a ton of clearing out during Spring Break, you are never totally ready for the movers! My DH said I could hold some craft stuff out and then either ship it to myself or send it in our Express Shipment...but I think it would annoy me to be missing that one thing you really need to make the card perfect...and know it is packed away on its way to Alaska! Maybe I will just take this time to catch up on my reading and perhaps finally organize my pictures on the Mac!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Boo-lated Halloween

Yes, I know and will say it out loud...I am a bad blogger friend! As I type, I have over 200 posts sitting in my Google reader. Overwhelmed is almost the word I am looking for! :) Thanks for bearing with me, my buddies!

I have actually been doing something other than eating bon-bons, I assure you! I needed to complete over 70 invites for a Holiday Party, then 45 for a Holiday Coffee, and finally 20 for a Holiday Tea. That was all accomplished within the past few weeks. Needless-to-say, I have not had much of an opportunity to craft for myself, let alone surf the web.

With that said, on Nov 1st I felt the **need** to make a Halloween card. And since I was still Halloween in the US, why not?!

Stamps: House of Haunts (SU), Oct Word Puzzle (CTMH)
Paper: Basic Black, Only Orange, Lovely Lilac, CM patterned paper
Ink: Versamark, Black, Cat's Eye black
Accessories: Black Embossing Powder, Yellow Stickles, Mike's Ribbon, Cuttlebug Web Embossing Folder

During my absence, I also found out I had 3 cards published in Just Cards Holiday Cards edition! It was a fun surprise! They were all Bellas...who can resist them?!

Thanks for taking the time to visit today. My goal this weekend is to get to each of your blogs so I can leave you some love. :)

It's Against the Code...

I get it. I broke the code. I do it every single year, too! I am not sure why it happens this way...I will go ahead and admit it though...

I scrapbooked on World Cardmaking Day!

I feel so much better now. :)

The good news is that I completely finished off 18 pages in my Family Album! And...drum roll please...I am up to Dec 2007 which means 2008 is on the rapidly approaching horizon! Ah, that feels good!

So, here are a few of my creations:

Patterned Paper: Creative Memories Primary Soccer Paper Pack; Cricut Cartridges: Sports Mania, Stone Script

Patterned Paper: SU Linen Prints; Accessories: Prima Flowers, CTMH Antique Brads

Paper Challenge: 85/100 Projects Complete!!

I can smell the paper coming "home" with me from California...muhahaha!

Thanks for stopping by today! :)

Eggcitement

I am not a big sticker person in my scrapbooks (well, anymore that is...in a previous life it looked as if I owned stock in Mrs. Grossman's...), but I did like the look of layering the letters on top of some old CM Easter stickers.

I am really, really trying to use my supplies and not let them to go waste...(or end up as decoration on my walls, furniture, etc courtesy of a cute and rather sly 3 year old!)

Paper is SU Bali Breeze (love this pack!), stickers CM, title from my Cricut Street Sign cartridge.

Thanks for visiting!

It's a Page!

I have been a subscriber to Creative Memories' magazine Lasting Moments since its inception. I just have always loved CM, even though I was a "rebel" when I used other products! LOL (Those of you who do CM know what I mean when I say that, don't you?!)

At any rate, their magazine has changed for the better! Their December issue was PACKED with sketches! And good ones, at that! Additionally, if you have not seen CM lately, they have really changed it up. I love their new papers (is that a surprise to anyone?) and their style of scrapbooks. They are wallpapering the pages now! What a concept! :)

This page is based on a sketch from the Dec issue of Lasting Moments:

Thanks for looking!

More Pages

Here are more pages I completed at the crop:

I am pretty sure this LO came from Becky Higgins. Paper and Flowers from Prima marketing, Vellum Quote from Creative Memories, Post-its from 3M! LOL

This is the second page of the previous layout. Do you do 1 or 2 page layouts? I like to see my colors flow, but if it does not work out, then it doesn't! This used all the same supplies as the first page.

My Sleeping Beauty! Paper and saying by Creative Memories, Rub-Ons from Stampin' UP.

There is absolutley no question that my daughter has an allergy to Amoxicillin! You can kind of see that her poor face is swollen and blotchy!

Layout is Becky Higgins and Paper is CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by to look! I hope you have a wonderful Friday!!
