Quickie!

Hello All!! I hope you are staying dry! That SURE is hard to do around here this week! MAN! Talk about a lot of rain!!! Just glad it's not snow or else we'd be almost buried! :)
I just wanted to drop in for a minute and share a quick page with you! It is one that I did for the Magistical Memories October sketch challenge! I realize that it's now Nov... but it's better late then never, right?

CHERISH

I kept the design in this page very simple. I wanted the emphasis to be on the photo's. And
yet I still feel the need for dimension! So, I added a naked chipboard element from Magistical Memories at the top of the photo's. Love that I could use it naked... perfect coloring and so simple! So rather then spend time fancying up my chipboard, I spent my time on a fancy ruffle to go around my page!! I used a lace boarder punch to cut out strips of paper. I cut them aprox 1x12. Then I folded them into pleats. Using the FABULOUS Helmar 450 quickdry, I curved it around the edge of my circle! Believe it or not, the Helmar kept it in place! Whoot! But feeling that the page needed a bit more oomph, I added stitching around the perimeter of the circle! Very simple page... but perfect for the elegant photo's!
supplies: Scribble Scrabble patterned paper, Magistical Memories chipboard, Momenta puffy word sticker and epoxy circle, Martha stewart punches, ZVA bling, Ranger distress inks, Helmar 450 quick dry, Helmar Premium Craft glue

These pics are of my sister and her Fiancee at the time... now Hubby! :) She is simply beautiful and i adore these photo's!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I have several new projects to show you in the near future... so stay tuned! :) I also have some FUN and EXCITING news to share soon! :)
Until Next time... Happy Scrapping!

Scribble Scrabble designs

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by!! I have 3 projects to share with you today!!!

I believe I mentioned in a previous post that I had the awesome opportunity to be guest designing for Scribble Scrabble for Sept! Let me just say how much I fell in LOVE with these papers!!!! The designs and patterns are perfect for my style... let me share my projects with you!!

#1. Cool Dude

For this page I used the Bric-A-Brac collection. I just loved how these colors and patterns went together!! I added some Magistical Memories chipboard for my title piece and a little chippie potty man as well! :)

#2. Our Day

For my second layout, I used the Nana's Trunk collection! Now this paper looks nothing like nana's trunk to me! I ADORE this collection! The colors are so vivid and fun!!
I loved all the fussy cutting possibilities here! They fit perfectly with my simple page design and helped me to finish this page just right!! I also dug out my sewing machine... glad i did!! :)This page is about our yearly shopping trip to buy school stuff... book bags, clothes, lunch boxes... all those goodies! This was DS's first year of school, so it made it an extra special day!

#3. Just a Simple Girl
This last page was created using the Simply Stylish collection. OMW I loved the colors on here! I'm a classic black white and red kinda gal! This collection was created for me!! It should be called Tina's collection! LOL!!!Again, lots of fussy cutting opportunities on here! It took some time, but i'm so glad i did it... I'm thrilled with how it turned out! I used Helmar's liquid scrap dots under my fussy cutting. It is awesome for adding just the tiniest bit of dimension!! Love it!

And here is the first page that I created using Scribble Scrabble...

Whew... that was a big post! :) Thanks so much for sticking around and checking out my work!! I am so pleased you took the time! don't forget to say HI so I know you were here! :) Then I can stop by your blog for some lovin' too! :)

Still have more goodies that I havent' shared yet, can you believe it?? :)
So, until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Scribble Scrabble meets Magistical Memories!

I am so excited!! I am Guest designer for Scribble Scrabble for the month of September! Cynthia was SO generous in what she sent me!! She sent me 5 lines to work with!!!! And WOW!! Every one of them have my name ALL OVER THEM! Well, not literally... LOL! But I fell in LOVE with these papers! I have never had the opportunity to work with Scribble Scrabble papers, as they have never been sold in my area. Boy was I missing out! They are FANTASTIC! Great quality, double sided and gorgeous colors! I'm in patterned paper heaven!! Here is the first layout I did using the Haley's Collection.

I Adore Your Curls

I LOVE the texture of this page!! Helmar Adhesives made this page SO full of depth! The Helmar liquid Scrap Dots were used on the photo, chipboard and my pleated paper! LOVE this stuff!!
I used a nesting chipboard heart from Magistical Memories on this page as well. No page is complete without some chipboard! I covered it with the patterned paper and sanded and inked the edges for the perfect mat for my photo's!
I had so much fun embellishing this page.. simple but so effective!
I loved this page so much, I created a sketch based on it for the September Sketch for Magistical Memories! Check out the details here...
Thanks so much for stopping by! I so appreciate your love... :) Tune again soon, as I have more stuff in the works! :)
Until then...
Happy Scrapping!

Also have lots of recent work to show you! I'll start with one that I created for Magistical Memories using the sketch I created for the July challenge!

UNSURE

I used the beautiful swirl chipboard that you see as well as some hearts and a circle. Glimmer mist and Making Memories paints created the colors. I adore these October Afternoon papers!
Love machine stitching and buttons....
Here you can read the journaling... It was his Kindergarten orientation day. He really was excited but this look on his face shows me that there were feelings inside that he was just not sharing... that's the thing about boys eh?.... so many feelings they just won't share...
The entire page was created using Helmar Premium Craft glue except for the chipboard... I used the 450 Quick dry from Helmar for that! FAB-U-LOUS!!
I have more to show you... but my time is up!! kids are at the table eating supper... LOL!!!
Hope you're having a FAB summer!!!
I'll be back soon with the winner of my RAK as well!!!
