Sweet Summer

The challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments has a beach theme this week!

I thought pinwheels would be perfect on this page plus I've never used one on a project and they always look so cute on other people's pages. Here's a few close-up photos of my pinwheels.

Thanks for stopping by the little blue room today! Be sure to head over to Hand Stamped Sentiments to check out the other designers fun projects. Then be sure to share your project with us by linking it to the HSS blog.

Beautiful Day

I was in the groove this week as a scrapped these photos of my youngest daughter playing tea party with her stuffed animals.

I was inspired by the Pleats and Ruffles theme challenge over on Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I love the layers and details!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired and play along with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

6th Birthday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a wonderful time with family over the weekend!
I was able to squeeze in a few minutes between all the Christmas baking and crafting to create this scrapbook page celebrating my youngest daughter's 6th birthday.

When I have more time I will  journal beside the cupcake. I love the little '6' candle I added to the cupcake top. It's like the candle she is blowing out in the bottom picture. I used the new Labels Collection Framelits to create the cool shape behind the cupcake. I LOVE them!! So many sizes you can cut and you can layer different sizes or make frames! Awesome new product from Stampin' Up! 

I was inspired to work on this birthday page by the challenge on Hand Stamped Sentiments. 

 Head on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments to see the wonderful projects the other designers created this week. Then share your creativity with us and link your creation on the HSS blog. 

Almost a Year Later

I finally scrapbooked a few of last year's Christmas photos!

I printed the black and white 8x10 to use in a frame as display at our church's Christmas Festival over the weekend. A friend came up with the idea for this amazing photo tree.

Don't you just love that awesome red frame?
When it was over I didn't want to just throw out the photo so I thought I'd try to use it on a scrapbook page.  
Which worked out perfectly with the Old Fashioned Christmas challenge theme over on Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope to see your projects on Hand Stamped Sentiments.

  

It's Been A While

I took a little break from all the Christmas crafts and scrapbooked this week! It's been a while. I think about 8 months! So it was extra fun to work on this page.

My color combo was inspired by the color challenge going on this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I used a Stampin' Write Marker to color the chipboard letters.

I made my own doilies again using the scallop die and scallop punch with the crop-a-dile.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you'll be able to play along with the challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week. I'd love to see your wonderful projects!

A Day Late And A Dollar Short, So To Speak

I was trying my best to finish this scrapbook page before the deadlines of two different challenges.


ColourQ


Sketchy Thursday


I was late for both! At least I was inspired to create. That is the whole point, right?

Thanks for stopping in for a quick visit. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Saturday!

Sketchy Thursdays {Week 4}

This is my final week as guest designer over on Sketchy Thursdays. I had a great time working with them and plan to still play along as often as possible.



Here's the sketch. Go play along at Sketchy Thursdays for a chance to win scrapbooking goodies.



I have a video tutorial that I will be working on this weekend. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.

Thanks for visiting.

Sketchy Thursdays {Week 3}

My third week with Sketchy Thursdays. I've really enjoyed working with their sketches and having an extra push to get some pages done.
This is the Best Storybook Ever! I remember sittting on the floor with this huge book and studying the pages for hours as a child. Wandering through Barnes and Nobles one day the cover of this book caught my eye and my mind was flooded with childhood memories. I had to have it! Now our kids enjoy the same stories and pictures as I did when I was a child. They snuggle close with me and we study the pages together. It doesn't get much better than that!

Sketch for this week.


Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Have a wonderful Thursday.

Sketchy Thursdays {Week 2}

It's my second week as guest design team member over on Sketchy Thursdays.



I found the airplane rub-on in some old Stampin' Up! stuff and knew I had to use it on my page. I hand cut the clouds and pieced together the sun.



Here is the sketch for this week.



Visit Sketchy Thursdays to see more ideas using this sketch.

I've been crafty all week making more baby gifts for a baby shower I'm attending tonight. I hope to share some of what I made soon.

I hope everyone is having a great week. So glad it is almost the weekend!

Sketchy Thursdays {Week 1}

I'm so excited to be a part of the Sketchy Thursdays Team during the month of February! Here's my first page to share as part of the team.



A big thank you to my friend Cari for the title inspiration. I love how bright and colorful this turned out for a winter page. Don't you just love the yellow snowflakes!

The sketch for this week.


Head over to Sketchy Thursdays to take a peek at what the design team created.
Thanks for stoping by for a visit!

The Best Part of Snow Days Equal Scrapbook Pages

My girls! We all gathered around the desk in the little blue room and enjoyed scrapbooking and crafting together. I truly loved every minute. And look what great pages they created, all by themselves! Proud mama moment.





Even my 5 year old daughter joined in. She was so cute telling us all about her creative process and ideas.





Thanks for stopping by to take a look. I hope you are enjoying your Saturday.

Snow Days Equal Scrapbook Pages #3

Another page! I love the fun chipboard letters for the title on this.


I used another Sketchy Thursday sketch.

Thanks for looking!

Snow Days Equal Scrapbook Pages #2

Here's page number two created during our week of snow days.

I hand punched the mistletoe using the 2 Step Bird Punch from Stampin' Up. I think it turned out great!

Journaling reads: After eight years kissing under the mistletoe, we've still got it! Just ask our kids. They were grossed out regularly by dad & mom kissing. When Jordan called mistletoe "kiss"tletoe I knew I had to use it as my scrapbook page title.


I used this Sketchy Thursday sketch for inspiration. It's part of the February Guest Design Team Member Challenge. You had to use the sketch, red (or pink), a heart, and journal somewhere on the page. Wish me luck!

Thanks for taking a look. I've got one more page to share with you soon.
Happy Crafting!



P.S. I tried adding a faceook "like" button at the end of each post. I did the code thing myself and I'm not sure if it works properly. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks!
