A new card to share...

I recently got some Scripture stamps from Verve Stamps and I am really loving them! The quality is wonderful and the image is very crisp and clear. Plus, at only $3 each, they're a great deal too. ;) I made a card the other day with one of the stamps and I just love how it looks...

Supplies: Pink Paislee Paper Pad - Queen Bee; Verve Stamp; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Blackbird; Prima Flowers; Making Memories Buttons; Twine

Thanks so much for looking! :) I'm sure I'll be making more of these this week...

Teacher Appreciation!

I wanted to make something for Emily's teacher for Teacher Appreciation this week. I thought about doing a mini album but I'm planning on doing one of those for the end of the year, so I decided on a wall hanging instead. I started with a plain wood heart that I grabbed at The Dollar Tree last year sometime and just decorated it like I would a layout...

Supplies: DCWV Paper Pad - Grade School Stack; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Prima Flowers; Bo Bunny Button - Kitchen Spice; Twine; Computer Font - CK Alis Hand

I'm so happy with how it turned out! I went in with Emily today and gave it to the teacher and she really loved it. :)

Moments (NSD Layout)

Over at scrapbook.com, they're having a HUGE National Scrapbooking Day celebration! There are $10,000 worth of prizes being handed out. Totally cool. ;) One of the challenges is an all day challenge to create a layout about why you scrapbook. Well, of course the first thing that popped into my head when I read that question was my sweet girls. So what else would I make my page about?? ;)

Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Flutter Butter; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Computer Font - CK Alis Hand; EK Success Border Punch - Diamond Lace; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Jillibean Soup Alphabeans - Bean Brown; Slice; Slice Basic Shapes 2 Card; Making Memories Sanding Block; Recollections Pearls

I looooooooove how it turned out...most of all the journaling. It truly says why I do this and I'm happy I've got it down on paper for my sweeties to one day read. :)

I hope you're all having an awesome day...thanks so much for stopping by!

Creative Scrappers has been having a birthday celebration all month. They asked for people to apply who wanted to be guest designers for a day and I was one of the lucky ones chosen!

Layout/Card Combo

In my scrapping group Scrappin-n-Chattin, we've started doing a new challenge each month, called the 24 Hour Challenge. Participates have collections (from 3 of their favs) and sketches (from 3 suggestions made by me, the hostess) chosen by others for them to use, and then they have 24 hours to create a page with them. It's very cool! The entire group voted on my collection/sketch choices and from them I created this page...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Crush; Computer Font - CK Jot; Doodlebug Cardstock Loopy Lou Alphabet Stickers - Bon Bon; Maya Road Chipboard Butterfly (as a template for the largest one); Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch; K&Company Pearls; Making Memories Sanding Block; DMC Floss; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown

*Inspired by Creative Scrappers Sketch #79

I love how it turned out! Very simple, so that my beautiful baby girl is the main focus. ;)

I decided to use the same papers to make a card for a friend of Emily's who just had a birthday...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Crush; Hero Arts Stamp; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Fiskars Scallop Border Punch; Fiskars Circle Punches; Ribbon

I need to remember to do this more often. Making a quick card from your layout scraps is a great way to have less paper laying around and more cards to hand out. :)

Have an awesome day everyone!!
