You & Me

I've got a challenge up at the Turtle Soup February Mini Crop today. I'm looking for layouts with photos of kids and layers of long strips of paper.

This layout is done with all scraps. Since most of my scrappy stuff is in storage I have been able to use up a lot of my scraps. I love it when that happens!

Please stop by and check out our mini crop. Lots of fun challenges going on and of course there is a random prize drawing. The crop runs from today through Sun, Feb. 28th. Hope to see you there!

Hippo Birdie!

Here's a birthday card I made for a couple of challenges. It fits a crash your stash challenge at Turtle Soup and an online crop challenge at Scrapbook Generation where you had use a funny sentiment.

I've had these stamps for quite a while and thought they would be perfect for the Scrapbook Generation challenge.

Say it with Flowers

Here's a birthday card I made for the Just Imagine Crafts blog. I'm slowly but surely learning how to use the Kreaxions punches for more intricate designs.

I started with some water color paper, added some gelatos and used water to blend them. I then used the Kreaxions circle cutter to cut my circle and used template B to mark my punching lines. I punched along the marked lines with Kreaxions punch #920 to make the doily. I adhered the doily to the water color paper and backed it with purple cardstock and added it to my card base. Added a few raised stickers, stamped and embossed the sentiment.

Love Card

Here's a card I made for a challenge at Turtle Soup and a challenge at an online crop with Scrapbook Generation last weekend. I used a sketch from Turtle Soup and the colors came from the online crop challenge.

Here's the sketch

Happy Scrapping!

Folding Screen Card

I've got a card up on the Just Imagine Crafts blog today. I've always wanted to make a folding screen card and thought the Kreaxions punches would be perfect for this type of card.

I started with a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock and then scored it at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" and 8 1/4". Then I folded it in half at the center score line and in the opposite direction at each of the other scored lines. Opened it up and punched along the top with Kreaxions punch # 920 and then just added some printed papers, stamps and embellishments.

I love how this turned out!

First Day of Preschool

We've got a DT sketch reveal challenge up today at Turtle Soup. Here's my take on the sketch.

And here's the sketch

I love this sketch and couldn't wait to work on it. However, since most of my scrappy supplies are packed away in storage I had a bit of a hard time. Thank goodness for my Cricut! Between my Cricut and my stickers, I finally came up with a layout I liked. 

Winter Blues

We've got a DT card reveal over at the Just Imagine Crafts Blog today. The reveal theme was Winter Blues. I never thought I'd have the winter blues living in Florida but lately it's been cold down here. Anyway, here's my card.

For the background I used a faux letter press technique. I inked a crackle embossing folder with blue ink and embossed some white cardstock. I then used Kreaxions punch #920  with insert B for the blue doily and used the star cutouts from that on the the crackled cardstock. Cut some snowflakes with my Cricut, glittered with some gold glitter and added them to the doily. Seems frosty to me!

Birthday Card

I've got a card up on the Just Imagine Crafts blog today. I decided to go with some soft spring colors and I just love the orange and green color combo on this card.

I am really loving these Kreaxions punches and having fun playing around with them. For this card I used punch #920 with insert A and then backed the punched area with peach colored seam binding. 

Birthday Card

Busy day scrapping for me today. I also made this card and it also fits a challenge at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop going on this week. You had to make a birthday card and use strips of paper.

Lots of fun challenges going on during the Turtle Soup Mini Crop. Hope you'll stop by and join in the fun!

School Days

Here's a layout of my granddaughter at school. She just looked so happy that I had to scrap it.

This was for a scraplift challenge over at Turtle Soup. Please stop by and play along.
