She is a true Girlie-Girl!!!

O Christmas Tree 6x6

I made these pages for a Stamp Camp, with the stamp set Jolliest Time of Year. I used the Crop-a-dile on page 2 in the corners... for that fun dry embossed bumps or dots or even lumps *LOL*. The new Elastic gold cord is great... you can just wrap it around something and it is real easy to tie. The pictures are of my kids Christmas 2001.. they are so cute... and I had a really great tree that year too. Thanks for looking!

Haunting Halloween 6x6 pages

My friend Terry is having a Haunting Halloween stamp camp and I made these pages for that event. Do you Love this set or what!! I sponged Old olive on the spiral punch edges, around the cauldron, and on the piece with the stitching on it. I made a tiny tag with the spider and used a jump ring to attach it to the ribbon and I also put a small 4mm black bead on the ring. I used Silver heat embossing powder for the cauldron and black heat embossing powder on all the rest... you could still use black ink.

One of the pictures are of Calvin lighting a candle in the grave yard. I used the Bat from "batty for you" on this page because Calvin is Batman!

Cute Little Ham 12x12 Pages

I am happy to be back.... NO I did not get to go on a trip... My DSL modem broke and it took a week to get a new one!! So here we are I finished a new Scrapbook page of my Son Levi... My Cute Little Ham!! The Alphabet sets I used are Big Deal, Headline,and Whimsical. Stamp sets So Very, Its all good,and Amazing to Zany. Ink and Paper colors are Bashful blue, Close to cocoa, Whisper white plus lots of ribbon and Hodgepodge hardware. All the Photos were taken by my Daughter when she was 13... she just loved taking pictures then and still does.

Scrapbook pages for Michelle

These are pictures of Michelle's kids doing Easter Cookies. She had a real good picture of the cookies on a Cookie Sheet... so I took that Picture to Target and enlarged it and made the Cookie life size... so I put the Bunny Cookie on this first page....if you look at it close the Cookie looks real!!! Really it does!! The Stamp sets I used are Office Accoutrement, Stamp of Authenticity, and alphabet set Tall Tales (retired Holiday Mini 05).

I put up all 3 pictures of the pages Up.. because the double picture is blurry, and I wanted everyone to be able to see them together.I used Twill tape and Hemp behind the letters... and in the corners are pictures of the cookies the boys made, cut out and used like an accent. I used some fancy paper clips I found at target to put ribbon on.... Very Cute I think!!

I am not much on using Bold Brights ..... but with all the color's in the pictures it just had to be!! I used the stamp set All wrapped up (retired 07) for the cute jar of sprinkles... is that a cute idea or what!! I used the Horizontal Slot Punch for the sprinkles, and then glued each one down with Snail (aka Mono). I used the alphabet set Crayon fun (retired 04) and Expressive Flexible Phrases.. woo..long name for a stamp set! The Colors on both pages are Glorious green, Yoyo yellow, Only orange, Real red, Tempting Turquoise and Brilliant blue... that is ink, paper and ribbon. The letters are stamp with Chocolate chip.

Wild about you .... Make and Take

I just love this set Wild about you!!! I can't even begain to tell you how many different cards and brag book pages I have made with this set. I made this card for a make and take for our American Ink meeting today. Paper and Ink colors are; Night of Navy, Pretty in pink, Old olive,Vanilla, So saffron, Tempting turquoise and a strip of paper from the Petals & Paisleys Designer series paper. The word celebrate came from Everyday FLexible Phrases. I did use the punches on this one.... 1 1/4 for the animals... and 1 3/8 for the background square.... and Word window punch with a TT brad. Have a great day girls ....

Witch Card Swap

This is my swap card from the American Ink Meeting today. I used the stamp sets Booglie eyes, Bitty boo's too, Flannel plaid Background, and Hugs & Wishes. Ink is Black, White craft and Basic gray. I also heat embossed the "You're invited" part with white embossing powder. The witch boot is hung on the ribbon like a charm. I used a sponge around the witch..... and used the markers going gray and black.

Pumpkin Carvers and Pumpkin Patch 12x12's

These are some pages that I made for one of my best friends Michelle. She gave me some Pumpkin Carving pic's of her kids and Husband. I used 12x12 Pumpkin pie paper and Marigold morning and black behind one pic. The Patten paper is Halloween Night from a Mini last year. The stamp sets are "Carved & Candlelit" and Quirky Alphabet and Numbers (retired 05). I Heat embossed Copper on the pumpkins, used copper cord and copper paper behind the tiny pic's..... I liked this page so much I went though some of my pictures and found some to do my own page..... same Layout.



This is My page for me!! it is a Pumpkin Patch Page... same layout different Pic's.. What do you think do you like them both or what; I do!! It is the same paper just a different pattern "Halloween Night" Holiday mini 06. I put a pumpkin button on the 2 of the pictures and backed them in Vintage violet (retired 07). And yes I did Heat emboss and then cut out each Pumpkin... I hope Michelle loves the pages as much as ME!!! Hey now go do a Pumpkin page everyone!! I will come and Help if you want..... Later

Scrapbook page kim made for Me!!!

These are some Crazy Wacky picture's of my Kids!! Like I have been saying on other posts they had the camera and this is what they did.. fun fun! Kim used Old olive paper and some pattern paper called Tree House in the 06-07 catalog.... also used Chip board for the Wacky Part. She used ribbon on the letter "C". She also used the stamp set "So Very" (retired). And yes my kids are so Very Wacky!!!! They took all these pictures on a road trip in the back of the SUV... and some on the Seattle Ferry. There is a lot of pictures that they took... so more to come I am sure..

Scrapbook page for Wendy

Wendy gave me some pic's of her and the kids at the beach.... really great shots too!! My family and I go to the beach a lot and it is just down the street from us... My Husband and I got married there too!!.... so you can see that I love to do beach scrapbook pages. I did this page with the colors Bordering blue and Night of navy and White. I also used a piece of paper that looked like water.I used the alphabet Headline in BB and cut it out and put the words on Twill tape... with some Hodgepodge Hardware. I also used the alphabets Rough edges mini in the Hardware and Whimsical lower (retired) on the "my Buddy" part. The stamp set I used is "Shore Thing" (retired) in all the cute little squares that I made... also the shore birds on the bottom of the page is from that set; I did them in Craft white Ink. I could not use all her cute pic's so I used my 1 1/4 punch and punched out pic's with feet and a sand dollar....and cute face pic's... I used the 1 3/8 punch to back the photos. I really liked the way this page turned out... and I am going to do a page just like it of my family ..I like it that much: OH Yeah and so did Wendy! I will be adding another page I did for a friend Michelle tomorrow so come back... Hey just if you did not know click on the Photo and it will in large so you can see the detail.... Love you guys!!!!

Scrapbook page for Kim Halloween

Do you Love Halloween as much as me!!!!!? I was so Happy when Kim gave me pictures of her kids on Halloween for me to Scrapbook YEAH! I used the colors Only orange, Black, Orchid opulence and White. I used a lot of ribbon on this page, and Hodge Podge Hardware.. I think that using the Hardware makes the page GO WOW! when you look at it. The stamp sets I used are Itty bitty boo's, Trick or Treat,Web Wishes, and Halloween Backgrounds.... I think they are all retired now :( ..... I heat embossed the Trick or Treat Cat and Spider on medal edge tags with some really cool Halloween glitter that I found... it sparkles black and orange....also heat embossed the skeletons White. When you look at the page close (just click on it) on the part were I wrote the story I stamped the big Spider Web ... from Web wishes on it....*If you are wondering why I was Scrapbooking a Friends Pic's ...? It is because we started to swap Pic's of any kind and we scrapbook each others pages 2 12x12's... I love it ...... if we do it all year that would mean that we would have 36 pages done plus whatever we do ourselves.... There is 4 of us in the Group and we meet and do make and takes and give out the pages we made .... Kim cried when I gave this set to her!!! she is so cute!!! *LOL* Come back and look because Tomorrow I am putting another page that I made for a friend!!! Love you girls!!!

Whats Cookin

This is a card I made with the old set "Backyard BBQ" (first time I used it in the 2 years that I have had the set) I made it with real red card stock and marker to color in the BBQ. I used "Zig Painty" pen for the silver on the legs, smoke, handle and the round part on the top of the BBQ. I used some red checker paper that I just had around; thought that it would be great for this card. I also used the "Color Spritzer Tool" with a black marker to spray on the white card stock... don't know if you can see it very well be it looks real good... I love that tool... I used to use a tooth brush to get that effect... but the tool is so much easier!!!! I had to get out rubber gloves and all it look like surgery... *LOL*... I also stamped some Hamburger's on the red part with real red ink... don't think you can see them to well...

Love you Guys

I used a stapler to put all the pieces on so that it would make it easyer for my friends to add there own pic's. Stamp set is So Very!

Wild about you card with in Colors

I just love this card!! I made it with the new in colors (now last years). Card is True thyme so is the Alligator, the Elephant is Cool Caribbean and the backing on the white card stock, his ear is cut out and has glitter on it. The lion is Marigold morning, I cut out the main and put glitter on it. The bird is Vintage violet. I also put glitter on the Alligator's toes and the flower. I used the cutter tool kit to rough up the edges on the vanilla and the Cool Caribbean. White ink for the friendship part. I also used a black marker to dot the eyes.

Love Matters Chime Card

I made this card for a contest from the Love Matters set. I am really hoping that this set is in the new big Catalog. I had this great idea to make a card that looked like wind chimes and this is how it turned out, so I am calling it the Wind Chime Technique. The card is Mellow moss.. and all the hearts are in soft subtles colors plus regal rose. I backed each heart in Vanilla to give it an extra pop! and I just used wire and made jump rings by wrapping the wire on a paint brush and then cutting it. I also us extra Dimensionals so that when the card is standing up the heart chimes hang down real nice. I just used markers on the letters and a brad on the flower. I also sent this card into stampin' up in the wow art file.... I did not hear from them I was so so sad, I am hoping it makes it into stampers show case if it makes it to the big Catalog!
