Mini Book

This is a mini book I finished up this weekend to send to my daughter and son-in-law.  When I went to go visit them last year they took me all over the place and I think my favorite time was the day we spent with the Grandkids playing at Topsail beach.  My daughter scrapbooks but hasn't had the time lately so I thought she would like this little momento of our trip to the beach!!

One more done this weekend!

Another layout I got done this weekend of our Grandsons enjoying playing in the sand at the beach.  It was a great day!!

On a Scrappy Roll

Yes, it's true, I have been on a scrappy roll this morning/afternoon!!  Got two more layouts done, woo hoo.  This first one came together pretty easy although my fingers keep cramping up while trying to distress the edges of those strips of paper along the edges!

This next one I just love how it turned out, probably because it was fast and simple.  If you click on the layout to see it in a larger size you will notice how pretty and sparkly this SEI paper is.  Also, sprinkled some multi-colored micro beads on the fishing nets to give it the "sand" effect.

H2H Scrapbooking Layout Challenge

I did this layout of our Nephew Curtis and his girlfriend Erica after seening the H2H Scrapbooking Layout Challenge.  Everything on this page is CTMH product.  Used my Cricut to cut the title letters.

Very Colorful

Here is a very colorful layout of our Grandsons on the Bob the Builder ride at Chuck E. Cheeses.  My friend Kylie over at OSU told us about a place called Sketchy Thursdays and I used today's sketch for this layout.

 

Valentines Day Project

Just a look at what we will be making on our next craft night at Living Waters Christian Fellowship scheduled for February 13th at 6:00.  We will also be making a card!!!

Banner

Here is a banner I made to hang in my Scrappy Place.  Lisa taught us how to make them in her CTMH get together last Thursday.  I love how it turned out and like how it adds a touch of decoration to my room.  (Told you I would get it done today Mom!! ha ha)

My Scrap Space

Okay, here it is, my scrap haven!!!

This first pic is of my completed albums.  I am a chronological scrapper so therefore, my albums are all in order too, you can tell by the dates of the albums that I started scrapping in 2002!!

This is my "wall of cubes" which holds all my paper, paper packets and a few drawers with misc stuff like punches, ribbon and blank mini books.

I call this my "ABC wall" because most of what is hanging up is all types of alphabets stuff, i.e. Thickers, stickers, rub on, chipboard, etc.  The dresser is an antique and I love it because the top is a solid marble slab which is really thick, works great for setting eyelets!!  On top of the dresser on either side are two Sticker Stadiums (think that is what they are called), one on the left holds all things chipboard and one on the right is full of..........stuff!!! ha ha

This is my workspace.  Try to keep only the stuff I use all the time on it.  I love that the actual work top slides in and out so when I have a page in progess I can just leave it where it sits until I am finished with it.  On the wall to the right is my bling and ribbons.

And not but not least, this wall is directly behind my workspace, it is my cricut space and flower wall.  The shelves also hold some of my completed mini books.

Well, thats the end of my scrappy space tour.  The only thing left to say is "Have a scrappy day!!!"

5 minutes

Okay, it took me longer than five minutes to create this layout but not for my two Grandsons to fall asleep!!  Copied this layout from one I saw in a scrap magazine about 5 years ago!!!  (Yep, been saving the cut-out layout for that long, new I wanted to copy it, just had to wait for just the right picture!!)

U.S.S. North Carolina

Yea, did a two page layout!!!  Wanted to fit all these pictures on one layout without cropping them down to nothing, so here it is.  I think it is a little bit plain looking (i.e., there is nothing used on this layout but cardstock and patterned paper, no doo dads or pits and pieces) but it tells the story, that's the important part!!

Lucky Times

Yep, that's my husband, got on a lucky streak and in a matter of two months hit quite a few jackpots.  What fun we had!!!!! 

Scrap Leftovers

I made this layout this morning after cleaning out my scrap bag from our scrap class at church on Sunday night.  I had left over bits and pieces from our "CREATE" layout we did and some pictures that were printed while trying to get the color right on my photo printer.  I thought the pictures looked kind of cool with the color all messed up so I scrapped them!!! 

Easter Layout

Yep, got another layout done this afternoon after church.  I copied this layout from one I saw in a magazine (can't remember which one because I cut it out along time ago).  This is our Grandson Tylier on Easter morning.  I had fun making this one and got to use my border punch.  I am trying to use things I "had to have" but have somehow just added to my stash!!!

New Year, New Layouts

Well, it's a new year and keeping up with one of my New Years Resolutions, posting to my blog more often, here are the first three layouts I have done this year.

This first one is a layout I did for the OSU Scraplift Challenge lifted almost exactly from my friend Tara.  Her layout looked great so why change it, ha ha.

This next one is a layout of my Daughter-In-Law Denise and her friend Jaime.  While walking down the Strip in Las Vegas we happened across these two dressed as characters from the movie Avatar.  When we went up to them to take a picture and they informed us they charge $5 for the photo opportunity!!!

This last layout I came up with as an example for the ladies at our church scrap night.  I waned to teach them a few techniques so decided to cut a bunch of flowers out of kraft cardstock and decorate the heck out of them using different methods, (painting, inking, stamping, crumpling, etc).  I hope they have fun creating this page tomorrow evening!!!
