Fall Scarecrow Scrap page

Today's share is a quick 8x8 scrap page.  Papers are from Mr.Campy (Cosmo Cricket), FALL font is  Poplar Std.  I wish the boys hadn't been holding their helmets but we had gone back out to ad the sign and decided we didn't feel like walking - yup, our driveway is really that long...see the end of the road in the photo, that's only the half way point.  We made the scarecrow on their last day of Summer vacation using my old coveralls, Grandpa's old shirt, Andys hat and a dollar store bucket.  We put outside vinyl on the bucket for eyes and a mouth.  Andy stuck some straw under the vinyl mouth to make him look like he was chewin' on some straw... pretty cute addition I thought :).......  It was a fun project.

Fall wreath card and Create a Critter 2 scrapbook LO

I have had this psx twig wreath stamp for probably about 10 years and never used it...I don't know why, its a lovely stamp!  I used stickles on the berries and added some punched leaves.  The sentiment stamp is on a separate layer but the same paper so I inked the top and bottom edge to make it stand out a bit.

Today's second project is a 12 x 12 LO using the create a critter 2 sneak peak images (log onto the cricut craft room to use the images).   I left two journaling spots so that I could do a small journal for each of my two boys along with a row of their photos.  The wreath is cut at 5 inch, and the birds are about 1.5 inch.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Card photo shoot 2011 scrap page

I haven't done much scrapping lately (since I can't really figure out my new camera and haven't been taking many photos) but  The Shabby Shop was having a scrap challenge with $25 in product up for grabs, so I thought I'd give it a go.  This was done using their free template and their products : SugarPlum Dreams kit and Holiday Magic kit.  I think we took about 20 photos trying to get Daisy to keep that hat on and look at the camera.  Thanks for looking!

Scraplift Sunday : Snow Day 2012

There is just something about Sundays that makes me want to scrap.  This week I went to look at the latest sketch on one of my favorite scraplift sites and sadly learned that they will no longer be posting :( 

Bummer.

Sounds like a good reason to get into my immense stash of scrapbook magazine clippings and start using them.  So, here is one that has been floating around my desk for over a year (that it never got tossed with the scraps is a miracle), it is from a Stampin Up magazine from a couple years ago.  My take on it is above.  The Brrr and hat are from Winter woodland, the mittens and background paper are Echo Park, the felt snowflake border is I think Queen and Co -I also used it on my new blog header :)

If you would like to scraplift this page along with me, please link up below so everyone can see you version! Thanks for looking!

Welcome Daisy scrap page and another personalized shopping bag

I love this photo of the boys and their new dog.  She is a 2 year old golden retriever/lab/who knows what else and a delight to have in our family.  I love that I can finally do some scrapping with flowers and girly things!  This sketch was done for this weeks Sketchy Thursdays challenge.  The papers are DCWV (Fall Stack 2011), the title is from Straight from the nest (welcome) and Mickey and Friends (Daisy).  The flower I cut from the file on my last Gerbera Daisy post .  For the center of the flower I used some Crystal Effects sprinkled with some dazzling diamonds.  The heart I just cut by hand because in all my carts I couldn't find a heart the right shape to fit the journal card I was trying to use.

Second today is another personalized tote.  This one I used iron on vinyl, which doesn't iron on so well to canvas, you really have to use the tip of the iron to melt and smash it into the canvas waffle weave.  The shape and letters are from Wall Decore and More.

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year! 2012 goals scrapbook page

I don't usually do the New Years resolution thing, but this year I have a few goals that I thought would be good to get in writing.  I made a 12 x12 page and plan to use one of my scrapbook frames to post it where I can see it to remind myself where I'm going.  I used Fresh Floral Stack for the papers, and the cuts are from Lacy labels and Wall decor and more.  

Dreams tree Fall scrap page

I came across these photos a couple weeks ago, they made me smile.  The boys were so little, ah the good 'ol days when they were too little to climb the tree.  Now now they make me  nervous wreck because they can go so high.  I used Lacy Labels for the curly labels, home accents for the swirl, and straight from the nest for the leaves.  Paper is DCWV and the stamp I used for the title is SU.  Thanks for looking!

SPUD gun scrapbook page

Carl and the boys got the spud gun finished yesterday and did some shots.  Its amazing how far it can shoot the potatoes, probably flew across about 3 acres.  It was very cool!  The papers and elements are from Echo Park -For the record collection. 

Anticipation scrap page

Just a quick page to share today, this is my boys cleaning the dog crate.    I found it last week at a garage sale for $5 and picked it up for "someday".  The boys spent hours cleaning it, they are counting down until they can get a puppy (when our new house is finished).  Patterned paper is DCWV.  Thanks for looking!

JUMP scrap page

This LO was scraplifted from an expired sketchy Thursdays challenge, the paper is Cosmo Cricket and Stampin up, the jumping frog is from Paper Dolls cart (its the frog from the witches cauldron), ribbon and punch are Stampin up.  Thanks for looking!

ROW scrap page and svg

Today's scrap page is for the sketchythursdays GDS July Challenge layout.   It had to include red/orange, something summer-y, and a journal spot.  I used a life ring for the circle and switched it to a 2 photo.  I made an svg for the doodle swirls, ore, and life ring in inkscape,  they are below for one week.  The patterned paper is cosmo cricut.  FYI, if your doing beach-y photos and you like carts, Life's a Beach is on sale now at Fred Meyers for only $24!  I found it last night and picked one up.  I had already finished my page, but there are so many cute things on it, I'm sure I will have others watery/summer/boat pages I can use it on.   Thanks for looking and for your comments!

Fresh From Our Garden scrap page

Papers and embellishments are Cosmo Cricut.  I don't usually purchase kits but this one was so cute and I'm sure with my big new garden, I will have lots of chances to use it.  Thanks for looking!

First Grade Scrap Page

  The boys are now out for the summer, yeah!  Notice that Carsten wore the exact same thing on the first and the last day of school, guess what his favorite shirt is?  Todays scrap page is for the Sketchy Thursday LO challenge.  The paper I bought last time I was in Oregon, it is by Cosmo Cricut (pencils/notebook lines), and Rusty Pickle (blackboard).  Cardstock is SU and just LOOK how great my silhouette cut the red cardstock.  The star is from George Basic Shapes at 1.25 inch.  Thanks for looking and for your comments :)

Birthday Roadtrip Scrappage 1

I rarely do two page layouts but this one covered a weekend so it need 6 photos.  This is the first page. For the second page,  I can't decide if I should put grandmas house at the end of the road (the one from zoobaloo) or a cake (which I had to make myself because in all my carts I only have one with a cake and I used it on another LO).  The road is also an svg I made in inkscape.  Cake or house? or maybe cake and presents?
Update:
I went with a house and to Party arrow.....

Last two Pink Stamper Challenges DONE!

HA! I did all 12, Here is  my scrapbook page, border element from Paper lace, altered in DS, and the journal label is from Storybook.

And my final project is something summer themed, so I made an end of the year gift card holder for a teacher.  The gift card holder was done with Cindy Loo, stamp/punch is Stampin UP.

More Challenge projects

Well the day is almost over and I haven't finished all 12 challenges over at The Pink Stamper, but I did get 5 so far.  I posted the first two I did and here are the next three:

Challenge one:  Something cupcake themed, I used DCWV, SU, and Cordinations papers.  I cut the cupcake from Straight from the nest.  The first time I did 2.5 inch, it was too small, so I did 3.5 inch and used the little one inside.

Next, Challenge is something "kid".  I made some little pencle toppers.  All cut at 1.25 inch, flower and butterfly from SFTN, plane is from United we stand, and snake is from Animal kingdom (Andy is really into snakes right now).

And the last item I did was a pet scrappage (Challenge 10)

Snow day scrap page

Happy Easter!  My kids are off looking for the eggs I hid around the house so I did a quick scrap page.  The paper shape and words I cut with SCAL (font is Happy Days).  The snowflakes are from Joys of the season.  Thanks for looking!

All Natural Scrapbook page

Here is my take on the May sketchy challenge.  The papers are from Stampin Up (except for the textured dark gray, which is just from my stash), the circles I cut from GeorgeBS, the vine is from CindyLoo, and the title is from Straight from the nest.  The leaves and straight stitch are just from my sewing machine.
Thanks for looking!

Chain Lakes scrap page

Here is this weeks scrap page.  I used the leaf border from Paper Lace and a MS punched flower.  I painted the centers of the flowers with these sparkly paints I have to make them match the butterfly in the photo (and add sparkle!).  Thanks for looking!

Thank you Scrapbook page

Just a quick scrapbook page to share today.  The paper is from the DCWV doodle stack.  This was my favorite paper from the stack and I was excited to be able to use it with a boy page.  The paper came with all the flowers already one it, so all I had to do was add photos, a title and journaling.  The title font is blackjack and the journaling was done in LD charming (using PSE8).   Thanks for looking!
