The local croppers, Paper Dolls, thought of a super fun way for members to learn about each other - having us each create a layout with three things about us. So I created this page with elements from Traci Reed's Summer Camp (photo mats) and Smitten.
This Father's Day Fun collection is full of warm masculine tones - fun for boy's scrapbooks.
Autumn is my favorite time of year to create goofy little projects. Cute critters and fall flowers are wonderful accents to fall projects. I am joining a weekend crop with a new bunch of scrappin' friends, and I'm taking this fun little project to share with everyone....this little guy will be a fun embellishment to the pages we create to remember this weekend. It will be an exciting accent that will take us right back to the weekend when we look back at our memories. This project is a combination of a Facebook craft I saw and the Autumn Gnome from Dreaming Tree. I simply reduced the size of the hat and sunflower to fit the leaves I have in my stash. I couldn't find any wood noses to fit that would be delivered before the weekend, so I compromised with some autumn glitter balls....I kind of like it. I hope it really does look gnomish.
I used Little Santa Deck the Halls (Last-Minute Manda), a star frame, and lots and lots of poinsettias. Simple card. The background was embossed.
OMG! I missed the last Ecal challenge or two! Not sure what I was so involved with that I would space out on Ecal Challenges. Do you believe it's Spring already? Be still my heart. So here's my first tag for the Spring Tag Challenge using a tag from Miss Kate Cuttables. I colored Primrose Kitten digitally and added a sentiment from my stash.
Since I've been busy for so long, it was a big deal for me to take on a new type of file. This file is part of the Camp Firefly Kit from SVG Cuts. It's available in the shop HERE. I took my time selecting papers - not that you can tell from the photo. LOL! It was really pleased with how easy it was to assemble. I used some old southwest paper for the flames....odd pattern, but I do like the variety of flame colors.
Today I have my first card for this year's Kerst Christmas Challenges. It's funny how I first looked at the image from our sponsor and though there was no way I could make this "special." But after some searching, my friend Sandy at Simply Crafty provided some inspiration - now I love my card! I've gotta say - Sandy has saved my butt more than a few times when I've been stuck for a design. It's not very noticeable, but as well as the fun penguins, I used the background provided with this set - which added just enough additional color. The image is "Here Come the Penguins" by our sponsor, The Paper Shelter (comes with the penguins and a beautiful winter background). The box card design is Penguin Box Card by Simply Crafty. The sentiment came from my stash.
It was the Creative Memories World Virtual Crop this past weekend and we had a fun virtual crop of our own with Snippy Scrappers. I'm kind of late to the game getting my layouts posted, but finally managed to find some time. The adorable baby here is our oldest grandson.
WooHoo! I've completed both sketch layouts at Stick It Down for this month! I'm beginning a new album and trying to select a new collection - ran across this Brick Fire Station collection in my stash - I love the colors and patterns in this collection, and I think it'll be perfect for this new scrapbook. The title was digitally colored with the paper patterns from Brick Fire Station and Print2Cut on my machine.
For today's card I decided to go light and Springy with the gorgeous Painted Canvas. The sentiment is printed AND cut onto Creative Fabrica's Love Spring Florals frame. I printed part of the sentiment from the Fruity set at We Are 3 - I cut the word "Jam" to allow the background to show through.
Had some fun today with We Are 3 papers and printables. I couldn't resist these two digis, which I find particularly beautiful.
Today there's a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode. The theme is "Christmas." Indeed! The Dreamy Creamy collection is particularly special for Christmas.
Took a little break today from scrapbooking to make a wedding card for a friend.
I cut the design from Wedding Card with Flower from the SVG Shop - embossed the top layer and border and adhered them to the card base. I added a leaf and brad that have been in my stash probably as long as this svg file - since 2012. LOL!

I'm playing with the Eclips Users Group today showcasing pockets. I started with the beautiful Textured Scenes papers.
I made another simple card using a adorable For Tea printable - only one of the many fabulous printables from We Are 3. The base is covered with two layers of Lace Texture for a Victorian look.
It's the January Challange at the Eclips Users Group sponsored by Dreaming Tree, Creative Fabrica, and Simply Crafty. No surprise that I FINALLY created a layered mandala from Special Heart Studio. I printed my own shades of red using the color correction function on Word - yes, surprised that I did not use an entire cartridge of red ink! LOL!
