Pop & Sara

My two favorite subjects to create layouts for, they are always smiling in pictures, always having a great time together!!

Here is a layout I used with my monthly kit from My Creative Scrapbook.  In this layout I used Prima paper collection Tea Tyme - Charmante as the back page, glimmer mist MadriGras by Tattered Angels, Jennie Bowlin Pearl Buttons, Gesso, Prima Marketing flowers.  This was my 1st attempt at using Gesso and painting with glimmer mist. It was fun but a bit messy - and yet it accomplishes the look I was going for.  I actually didn't want to rip or cover this paper as it was too pretty to begin with and completes the look I wanted.

Love is in the details

My scrapbooking weekend getaway consisted of me using all my monthly kit collections from My Creative Scrapbook.  I haven't had time to do any work in a few months so I took just my kits and I got about 4 layouts from one kit.  I'm sure the 'scraps' from my ripping the paper could create a card, but I needed to get a few pages done more than cards.

Here is another page I created on my weekend getaway -- Love Is in the Details.  This is my cousins daughter and their fab little Izzy!

I used Prima Marketing Tea Tyme Collection Charmuse, Cypress Rose Kersey, Prima Flowers, Imagensce iRock hot rocks - first time using this.

Visit to the American Museum of Natural History, NYC

This was my sister in law's first time to the Museum so it was really fun to show her around.  I love this museum, I go to the museum at least 2 times a year, it's a must and they have such fabulous exhibits to see all year long.

In this layout - again Prima Marketing Challis & Linsey Tea Time Collection papers, from my membership to the "My Creative Scrapbook" monthly kits, they use Prima papers almost every month!  They provide such great paper, products and it's just so darn pretty.  I also used Bazzil paper, pink, whispers embossing powder.

Title: Family Forever

West Palm Beach Zoo visit

I still love Scrapbooking {general comment here} and scrapbooking with paper more than digital. I think I still just love to rip paper - since I work with legal doc's all day - it just feels good to rip paper!!!

In this layout my brother and his two beauties were sitting on a cast iron tiger at this great little zoo we visited while on vacation in Florida.  This layout included Prima Marketing Tea Thyme Collection - Marcella & Challis paper, Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist Candy Apple Red and Whispers embossing powder. A very simple layout towards the end of a 3 day scrapbooking weekend getaway - I was tired at this point, but still enjoyed getting 3 days to scrap!!!

More supplies arrived..

This is Kaisercraft On This Day Collection. Glitz design card stock stickers. Prima Flowers of course and I think my favorite Prima Vintage Trinkets.

The beginnings of my layout

Here is how I start a layout, I get my pictures then select the papers and just move things around until I'm somewhat happy.  Here is a first go at it. It is a very simple layout right now. Like my background it's my 'clean scrapping station'.

Working from home....

It does have its privileges!! My nieces were scheduled to come over so I decided to work from home and work I did!! This was what we did all day...

Lunch today

Today I went out for lunch during work to try this new place. It was sooo good - crepes. The last time I had a really good crepe was in Japan. I had a chicken and spinach crepe for lunch and then fresh berries and creme for dessert !

Book club meeting #2

Today I meet my small group of gals for our monthly book club. Our first book to was Half Broke Horses. I liked it and it was a quick read / page turner. Tonight we decided to read Dark Places. So I hope it's a good page turner! It took a while to figure out what we all wanted to read so I hope it's worth it!

My new bracelet

New toy NutriBullet

Ok so I hate vegetables! Always have and will so I purchased the nutriBullet and made a smoothie with strawberries, raspberries, spinach leaves and Garden of Life Raw Fit that has so many vitamin that I miss from not eating veggies!

Sisters Digital Layout

Here is a digital layout I created today using the Photo Visi.com website and then you install the appl  MyScrapNook toolbar.  It is another easy plug and play application, quick and really cute templates and easy to add embellishments.

Daises Troop, Card and St. Patrick's day

I used in this layout Nikki Sivilis You're a Hoot Owl Ville paper and die cuts.  This was their 1st parade they marched in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Here is a simple card I made with my left over paper from my weekend away!  I also created the little flower from quilling.  The butterfly card is from Kaisercraft papers.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a cute layout - I wish you can feel the paper - the tree and grass are actual felt on the paper so smooth.It's From Amanda Blu circus faces paper collection.

Booklet I'm working on...

Working on a small project using Graphic45 Bird Song collection and purchased this Sharpie that is a paint pen and this is what I wanted to do. It took a couple of layers since its oil based but better than using a paint brush and waiting forever for it to dry. 

I also purchased this roll of bling for 1.99 at A C Moore.  I was super excited not only with the price but it was a ton of 'bling' and so flexible to work with.

Ok 6 feet of desk space and this is how I work - in about 1 foot of it - the rest is a disaster!!!

Delightful

This is the two sisters on vacay in NJ enjoying a ride on Pop's walker.  I used Kaisercraft Forget me not collection Queen Bee, Basic Grey Lucille, Prima flowers and dress with a wimsy ribbon and a pin. This paper came from my LE Kit from My Creative Scrapbook monthly kit.

Tried a new hair style.....

Ok today I tried curling my hair before I went to work. By the time I got to work the curls were almost gone and stringie but my hair still has some body to it! The last photo is how they look now:( I put a crazy amount if hair product in but I guess a can will have to do next time!!!

Graphic 45 Design Team 2013 Audition

Hi Everyone,
 
Today I'm posting a few old and new layouts, cards and altered projects for my submission to the 2013 Design Team Call for Graphic 45.

I'm very excited that I may have a chance in being a Design Team member - I love Graphic 45 and would love to have more of it in the NY/CT/NJ areas.  This is way more than what they require for the entry but I couldn't resist.

 This is a 3D box card

 This project I made using toilet paper rolls it was so much fun and a great project for kids.

Here are some page layouts I just love!
