Altered P

Altered P I made for my sister-in-law. I made it with Scraptivity's April Kit, but didn't post it on my blog because I didn't want her to see it and then I forgot to post it ever!

I {heart} mini book

Layouts with Scraptivity's April Kit!

That April kit is amazing and has such awesome things that come with it for some great techniques. In this first layout you can see the Tim Holtz Film Strip Ribbon that I used.

On this second layout you can see the slides that come in it and the technique of using distress inks to color your pictures. I colored the leaves and trees in the picture. I LOVE how this layout turned out.

November Kit for S!

November Kit for Scraptivity is released today!! You can check it out here. Here are the projects I made with it. The first is a banner I made for my sister in law, and this box below for it to go in.

I made this good luck card with the cool Makins texture sheets and Core'dinations cardstock that are included in the kit. Plus I just love the Ace charm!

Two layouts. This first is a picture I took back in 2001 as a freshman in college. I loved the way the snow looked, but maybe it's just because I was a Texan living in a place that had lots of snow. Anyways, the bottom of this 8x8 layout actually has a paper ruffle border, but scanning it didn't show it off so well (so this little picture I hope is better.)

This second layout is from the November Kit Sketch. I used the Makins texture plate to stamp across the center of my background. I really love how this lo turned out.

TFL!

Sweet Happenings!

This is definitely going down as an all time favorite layout of mine. I applied for a Design Team position and I made the first cut. The second cut was to create a project about yourself that had inchies (1" by 1" squares). This is what I made.

Well...it was announced today. I made the new Design Team for Scraptivity! Yay!! Things will officially get started in November and I am so excited!!
