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!

Hey!! What r u looking at?

This was a few photos from our family vacay last year - I was trying to get a photo of my dad but she snuck her head in - so I went with it - then he got mad that I was trying to get his pic - so she started getting 'rough' and 'tough' with me - so I took her picture instead! I used in this layout Pink Paislee Harvest Hayride, Piggy Tales - Little Red Riding Hood and 7 Gypsies Gypsy market card.  It's a simple green layout!!!

Ugh....I hate when this happens!!!!

Just when I need to use it and its all I have on me!!!! I hate when this happens!!

3D photo frame

This was pretty simple to make. It's a 3D card that you can make for any occasion.  I choose primary colors for my paper (4) cut them to 4x6, then cut an inch from the edges for the interior.  With the scrap left over - you will need about 2 inches then fold that into three and used that as my 'connector' for the layers for an according effect on the sides.  I then found these really cute pictures of my niece trying a piece of food that she didn't like - and the face pics are hilarious. 

Cotton Candy

This was another easy and quick layout to make with two pictures.  I just miscellaneous scrap paper that I really never know what to do with and I never want to throw it out so here is a simple solution - same applies for the letters and a few left over stickers!  I also used Lil' Monsters paper by Nikki Sivilis collection.

Pop and Me Garden Time

This is a cute layout I also have a video of her talking to Pop about what he is planting here, question after question from the fasionista.  I used Nikkie Sivilis You're a Hoot Owl-Ville paper, Kaisercraft Wooden Flourishes Tulips which I stamped to have a few shades of color, Tattered Angels Candy Apple Red - splattered all over.  I also used my new heat gun and burned the edges of the paper and distressed with embossing ink.

M&M Theifs

So these pictures are from our first family vacay (I'm told it's now pronounced that way) with my brother and his family (Sara being the new one here!~).  We went to New Jersey and when we would leave our hotel to go to the Boardwalk the girls would always stop at the M&M machine to see if they could get chocolate - if you notice I also can't count - my instructions are hilarious - but I forgot a number along the way!  In this layout I used KI Memories Lagoon calendar, Nikki Sivilis paper and scraps to make the little ribbonettes!

Our new addition

This is the new addition to our huge family  - Kylie!!!

This is a shadow box layout - although not actually in the shadow box yet! I created it figuring she can just clip new pics as Kylie grows bigger with my teeny little clothes pins.  I used K&Co brads, Prima Flowers of course, Basic Gray Lucille paper, random ribbon and a few stickers on the bottom that I just love!  I really enjoyed making this really cute present for our new addition!

Sand & Sun with Pop

Sand and Sun with Pop - I finally got my dad in a few pictures.  He never goes to the beach - never did with my brother and I and then wow - 2 grand-daughters show up and he's on the beach - playing in the sand with them!  My brother and I was like - WHAT!!! we can't believe it!!! that's messed up dad!  I tried to create some sand in this layout with teeney beads that I have in gold, silver and clear.

Christmas Layouts

Super Star Layout

Another quick and easy layout to make.  In this layout I used Prima Marketing flowers, pins, butterfly - overload with them lately!!Dusty Attic Fence, Basic Grey paper, tattered Angels Candy Apple Red spray, Whispers Glitter Embossing Power and Tim Holtz distress ink.

My Better Half

Here is my BFF as I'm known as by my niece - in her favorite activity Cheerleading!!!
