Teacher Gift

This post is LONG overdue, but I am falling behind on taking photos of my projects as I work at catching up on my scrapbooks this summer! I did this frame and card for my son's preschool teacher. It's generic so she can put her own kids' photos in it. I was even able to use the cutout from the frame in the card!

Imaginisce Sponsor Contest

This one was SO tough for me - yeah right! I love Imaginisce products so it was a cinch to use at least 3 (though I thought it was 4, so I used 4) products in my layout. I took the opportunity to do a sweet layout of my little girl from photos taken a few months ago.

I was even very detailed and took note of what I did! For the cuts, I used Kate's ABCs and Once Upon a Princess. For my Imaginesce products, I used their white flowers and glimmer misted them in Sun Sister, Marmelade, and Rum Punch; I used their Carriage stamp and colored it in and embossed; I used their Fairytale Flowers rubons and the iRock with their gems.

I also incorporated paper from Fairy Tale (Recollections) and About a Girl (Mia - Fancypants). I also used my Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls & Spots and Dots.

I hope you enjoy, because I had a blast doing it!

Magazine Challenge - Make It Your Way!

One of the contests for this month asks us to take a project that inspired us from the Circle May Magazine and do our own spin on it. This worked out perfect, because I had to make Thank You cards from my daughter's birthday and I loved the card layout on page 41 in the magazine, "thinking of you card"

Here is what I came up with:

I used glimmer mist on white cardstock to create my background image, and cut the duck from Nate's ABC's.

Giveaway Post - my scrap space!

Ok so I hate taking photos of myself, especially when I wait until the end of the day and I am SOOO tired, but alas, I did that. So, here's my entry for the giveaway of me in my scrap space - although I can hardly scrap there. =( Not much room!

Weekly Challenge #27 Make a Game Plan

This week's challenge was an easy one for me! It was to make a sketch of the layout you were wanting to create. Since I sketch out almost all my designs, this was just another layout for me! I did a project I've been wanting to do for months and I LOVE how it turned out. This is a 2 page spread of my kiddos with the Big Brother quote and my favorite photos of them! I used Playtime, Stand and Salute, George, and Gypsy Wanderings and got to use my brand new Cuttlebug for the first time using a star folder! LOVED it! The big random "L" is not so random, because it's what both my kids' names start with! I got that at the stampede last month with this layout in mind! Thanks for looking!

Weekly Challenge #26 - Just Because!

This week we are doing a just because layout/card and since I'm starting to work on my son's 2nd year book, this worked out perfectly! I had a lot of fun with this and hope you enjoy it! I got to use Nate's ABCs and my stickles, of course, so I was happy!

Swarm Projects

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I wanted to, but I did pretty well!

Here is my Easter layout - had such fun with this! Used my new stickles to decorate the eggs and just had a good time! I used 3 Birds on Parade, Create a Critter, and Picturesque on this one.

This was last October at grandma's and I got to break open Kate's ABCs (I bought the night before leaving for the swarm!) and Nate's ABCs on this one! LOVE those carts!

This one was just fun - my silly little man! Used Boys Will Be Boys and 3 Birds on Parade for this one - and stickles, of course!

This was the first layout I did this weekend. I wanted an excuse to use the adorable pianos on Playtime and I did! I also used Twinkle Toes on this too and my glimmer mist for the first time!
