Lawnscaping Challenge #69 ... #2

So I just had to make at least one more card for this week's Lawnscaping challenge! This week's challenge is about letting Sentiments Shine!

I pulled out a bunch of stamp sets: Sweet Christmas; Let it Snow and  Yeti, Set, Go. The background papers are Glitz Design from the Vintage Blue 6x6 pad and Yours Truly. Some American Crafts Glitter Tape and the bling was just left over from another project and was laying on my table... the yard was in packaging from an order I had placed with Lawn Fawn. The card base is just a plain kraft card base that I inked up with a calender type stamp from Glitz Designs Uncharted Waters Stamp set.

Here's the Card I created:

I accented with some burgandy stickles! LOVE glitter that doesn't rub off ;).

Have a great day!

Lawnscaping Challenge #69... #1

I am really inspired as of late and I'm wondering, is it the time of year... the colors of the fall and the changes in the leaves and sky are just awesome right now and I am just really really into getting scrappy right now. I am REALLY missing my scrappy friends from Memphis as a big group of them are getting scrappy in AK this weekend and I SO wish I could have joined them.

Anyway, I have my first entry into this challenge. I know I will have at least one more entry as I was inspired while making THIS card to make another one :).


My background paper is Glitz designs, from the vintage blue 6x6 pad and my navy blue paper is a scrap left over from the glitz yours truly collection. I LOVE that navy blue and I'm almost out :(.

The challenge this week is a SENTIMENT challenge. I used the Say Cheese; Yeti, Set, Go; Let it Snow; and Making Frosty friends for this card. Oh, and if you haven't tried Glitter Tape from American Crafts, you NEED to!!

Hugs and Kisses, You and Me, Always and Forever

This is what my table looked like at 8am Thursday morning :). I had pulled out supplies to make a minibook that I needed to have ready before I left for work.

I needed a gift for a non-scrapping friend so I dug through my bag of goodies from the yardsale I went to at Scrapbooks Plus. That bag is where I found the covers. They are Teresa Collins bracket shaped book covers and 4x6 photo sleeves by bind it all. I covered the outside of the covers in a sheet of 12x12 paper from Yours Truly, the inside of the covers are covered with some Glitz Paper Layers, then I used embossing powder to edge the book covers. I used Stickers and elements from the Yours Truly collection to lightly decorate the photo sleeves because the person I'm gifting the book to isn't a scrapbooker. I inserted papers from the Vintage Blue 6x6 paperpad into the photo sleeves. I LOVE how this book turned out... oh and to boot I decorated a recycled brown bag with a tag decorated with some leftover stickers and some lace from my stash. I was in a rush to work so my pic of the bag is terrible... but my book, I took the time to make a video so you could see it's cuteness :).

Here's the quick shot of the bag... too bad I had to go to work ;)

Thanks so much for looking and have a wonderful day!

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge take 2 Nov 4-10

The Challenge this week over at Paper Smooches is TREND WATCH.

Here is the Inspiration photo:

I loved the idea of taking a sentiment and making diagonal stripes across with it. So I pulled out some supplies, heavy on the ink this time and made this card.

Paper Smooches Sparks November 4010 Challenge

This week's challenge over at Paper Smooches Sparks is a TREND WATCH:

Here's the inspiration photo:

And here is my take:

They are also having a DT call right now so if you like their stamps, why don't you apply... I know I am ;)

Eighteen and a High School Graduate

More pictures from my 18th birthday/high school graduation. I hardly ever make a two page layout, but I didn't really feel like these pictures needed tons more layouts for the rest of the story, so I borrowed the idea of photostacks from Heidi Swapp and finished them out.

I am in love with the Persimmon collection from Basic Grey right now. I bought it a few weeks ago and I think there are four pieces of whole paper left and very few scraps. I have made three pages so far with it and none of them fall or Halloween.  I think these two work well together to be side by side in an album. I made a video so you could take a look at the photostacks, they are so simple, and I really have a good amount of journalling on these layouts.

Here are some closeups from each page:

And here is the video so you can see the photostacks close up:

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and have a look. 

Flashback... to 18.

So to start the month of being thankful off right, I'm going to post this layout that I made using Basic Grey products from Capture (um look at that awesome acetate film wheel) and also Persimmon. My LSS Scrapbooks Plus had 1 Persimmon kit left and I grabbed it up! I LOVE the colors in this line (um they are all my high school and fav college football team colors. I have some photos from my 20th HS reunion that I think I might scrap with this line as well.

So this is me, at 18. I graduated on my 18th birthday and I so wanted to stop time and stay in high school. I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I felt like things were moving so fast. I love those bg feathers. They come in paper, metallic paper which is thick and canvas with prints from the line added. I added one Thicker in that awesome gold foam and some sprinkling of Heidi Swapp Colorshine spray in Gold Lame' (YUM).
