Let It Snow! (NO, not really!!)


I loved this page and cannot wait to get some pictures of Caden this winter and put it all together! Don't you just love the weave of the grosgrain ribbon? The "O" in snow is done by doing the Faux Metal technique. How cool! We had a lot of fun doing this! Cold Play stamp set make an adorable Snow Man!

True Friend Scrapbook Page

This page turned out so cute! We did this at my October Scrap club. I got the idea from a magazine. We took the ribbon and twisted it down the border. It's held in place by mini glue dots and then accented by using vintage brads. We used the Wheel Aligner to make the borders on the picture mats. Fun page!

Last night I had my stamp club and I wanted to share with you what we made. I think I am going to be a bit ambitious this year and make one of these for all of my guest at Thanksgiving. This is my first year (in 24) to host Thanksgiving dinner! I am a bit nervous about making that turkey!!! I thought if my turkey didn't turn out, at least they would have this cute gift to take home with them! I am going to fill it with some candy for them!

Stamping Invitations


Hello! Well if you have had a workshop for me you know that I love to stamp your invitations to your workshop! This morning I was playing around and stampin some invitations for an upcoming workshop and they turned out so cute I wanted to share them with you! I used the Carved and Candlelit stamp set with Only Orange, Glorious Green and Basic Black. I used the masking technique on these and just love the way they turned out! Check it out!

Hello! Well I spent my morning playing! I was really in the mood to "color" so I broke out my chalks and away I went! I had a bunch of birthday cards to make and this is what I did. It was easy and really back to the basics! I used Itty Bitty Bkgrds., Sincere Salutations and Give Thanks. The colors are Real Red, Gable Green and Whisper White. I had a good time playing with my chalks! Maybe you should get yours back out and see what you can come up! My new favorite tool is the "Crop A Dile"! What a cool way to punch your holes and set your eyelets....QUIETLY! Let me know what you think...you all are being awfully quiet out there!

Hello! This is another page that we did at my Scrap Club! We used More Mustard, Really Rust and Very Vanilla cardstocks. The images are from Leave Awash Jumbo Wheet and Big Deal Alphabet. I have had the Wheel Aligner for a long time now and just decided to learn how to "Miter" my edges for this page. That is a really cool way to frame your page! We then used sponges and classic inks Not Quite Navy, More Mustard and Really Rust and just rubbed the colors over the Basic Black. I also used Jumbo Pewter Eyelets to accessorize this page. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hi All! A couple of months ago I started a new Scrap Club and I am loving it! It is really fun and helping me to get pages done that I need for my own scrap book! This page here is done with Wild Rose and Wild West Alphabet. I am loving that new alphabet! We used Brilliant Blue, Ballet Blue, Wild Wasabi & Garden Green ink. The cardstock is Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue and Whisper White. There was a lot of cutting involved in this, but it is worth it in the end when you use dimensionals to pop up the flowers!!
