Anything Goes

Here's a card for the anything goes challenge at Simon Says stamp! Bo Bunny Genevieve! It is a gatefold card!

Peace Owl

Here is my Peace Owl canvas using 3 colors (blue, grey, and pink) of Faber Castell Gelatos. I love using them on canvas projects! I am entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Trio of Colors.

Have a peaceful day!

in the middle #4

I made this easel card to go with a mini album class I am doing at my LSS Soul Sentiments and put the lady in the middle for the  Simon Says In the Middle challenge.

Happy 20th Birthday Mitchell!

I can't believe Mitchell turned 20 this April...  Anyway, I made this for the Simon Says Die Crazy challenge.  And, I even dug out my old Sizzix letters/numbers for this one.  The hearts and love are from American Crafts! And the matting is from a set of Spellbinders.

Thanks for looking!

Cake Pops

I made this for entry into the Simon Says Anything Goes with Buttons challenge!!

A Charmed Life

I made this for my friend Stacy's challenge!  I just bought the Simple Stories collection and thought it went perfectly with my photos!!!  Our little Charlie was definitely still a pup in these photos. In the third one, he was doing the "swim" before he got distracted by some activity in the park!!!  I added some American Crafts velum (transparent) hearts, so I'm also adding this to Simon Says Transparent challenge!!!

Thanks for stopping by! 

What's that? Another Canvas?

I made another canvas to enter into Simon Says Show Anything Goes. I used some Faber Castell gelatos that I won from them a long time ago as well as some distress paint and stamps! 

Thanks for looking! I'll have more soon!

The Graduate - Fancy Pants Swagger Style

I made this for Page Maps anniversary boy-girl (I chose boy) challenge and Simon Says Stamp anything goes!!  I used Fancy Pants' fabulous Swagger collection.  The colors and papers just fit Mitch's graduation/school colors!  I embossed the orangy-red colored paper under the photos.  I fussy cut the big fleur de lis out of a sheet of the collection and turned it on its side.  The journaling reads "Man Oh Man.  It seems like only yesterday when I dropped you off for your first day of kindergarten!"  Ain't it the truth!  He has now very successfully completed his first year of college. We were very, very proud of his first year GPA and his dedication to studies as well as his ability to meet new people and still have a lot of fun!!

Thanks for looking!

Page 2 of disc golf (march 2012

This is for the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge! I love those!!!  You'll have to check out the previous post for Page 1.

Hope things are going well for you. It is still cold, and there is a lot of a snow in the yard here!

Second Post Today - Disc Golf (march 2012)

I was lucky enough to win some Fancy Pants this year. I guess I was waiting to do these photos until the right paper came along. Although I didn't receive any 12 x 12 sheets, I received the 6 x 6 and a whole bunch of embellishments from my favorite collection:  Park Bench! I cut up several pieces of the 6 x 6 tablet to make my "stripes under the photos. It is actually a two-page spread and the strips carry over to the 2nd page.  I had a lot of fun working with the collection and feel very fortunate to have won it!!! I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp -- add an arrow (the stickers in the collection had the perfect arrow).  I also did some embossing in the top corner by folding my paper to fit into my big shot. It is hard to tell here but it does add some amazing dimension and texture to the page.

See how Charlie is reacting to the snow now in my first post today: http://kmassman-scrapbooks-cards.blogspot.com/2013/02/more-snow-and-now-he-loves-it.html

Hiking to Big Red

I made this layout for The Paper Variety's make your own flower challenge.  I loved this Amy Tangerine American Crafts map sheet. I have had this glass/metal focus on what is in this circle thingy for ages. I thought it would be cool to highlight the area we were travelling on the map.  I made the box fold flower for the challenge.  I was really excited recently to win some MME adventure brads. I hoarded them for a few seconds but decided to use them on this because I just love them SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I also used a little Mr. Huey Color Mist by dropping it on the page a few places.  Finally, I added these cool little Basic Grey letters. The gray pennant was made with the Chaps line from American Crafts. I thought it was cool that I got 7 photos on this layout even if they were small photos.

As you can see, we took the trip in 2010.  I'm so behind in scrapping...

I hope you have a great day!!!!!

First Day of School - Senior Year

I used a sketch from Artful Delight to create this layout of Mitch leaving the house on his first day of Senior year. Yes, my baby is not only driving himself to school but to senior year! I don't see how that is possible, but that is a story for another day!

Too Busy to Scrap but Here is a Layout from the Zoo

Here are some monkeys we saw at the zoo!  These boys definitely follow the "like Father, like son" motto!  This was a quick one. I just cut out some Basic Grey paper on the Cricut, added a tag with some buttons, some CTMH stamps to the bottom, some ribbon and a brad! Yay, one layout completed!

Thanks for visiting!

San Diego Zoo-Take 2 in Circles

I made a two page layout of the elephants in the San Diego zoo, but I'm only sharing page one here! I don't know how to stitch the two layouts together--too lazy to figure it out.   I love participating in The Paper Variety's challenges, and it has finally paid off. I was their winner for last week's challenge.   This week they want you to include at least four circles in honor of Scrapbook Circle who is their sponsor this week!  Anyway, I used WAY more than four circles!

Thanks so much for visiting! I've been scrapping a whole bunch this week.  I should--I just got 375 photos in the mail last week!

Have a great day!

Memphis

I made this for Sketch Inspiration's weekly challenge #217!  The shimmery, gray background paper has been sanded and is DCWV.  The other paper came from a tablet--I believe it is Autumn Leaves.  The jeweled guitar is Prima!  

Memphis Zoo-March 2010

I made this layout based on Artful Delight's monthly sketch!  I used Adornit's Misty Collection. I think the papers are so beautiful!  I used CTMH ribbons and snaps.

Christmas 2009 - Me

I did a Double at Design Dollies this week! The colors and the sketch were all I could work into my layout!  The flower was made by Jessica in Australia.  The white flowers were made by my good friend and neighbor, Mary!!! I feel so lucky to have these to use on my layouts!

My Boy in November, 1994

I made this for Scrapfit's Workout 27 using their sketch.  It also meets the requirements over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop this week to use at least 8 circles!  Mitch was a little over 7 months here! He was always so happy and cheerful.  I just love going back and scrapbooking these older pictures! I made the border "stitching" by hand!

Unleashed

I made this for Practical Scrappers Friday Sketch. I'm a little late on this since they've already posted the next Friday sketch, but I think I had to the end of the month to finish! I think it fits Andrea's color challenge for July over at PIT also.  It fits Blue Moon, too!

Poppy and Steven Playing Guitars

I created this layout for Sketch 201 at Scrapbook Challenges.  I used Nikki Sivils Dan the Record Man collection.  I just love Nikki's unique style! I used my new Fiskars Upper Crest border punch on this one! Thanks Steve for my fun birthday present!
