Scrapbook Class Layouts

These are the layouts that I taught last night at my scrapbook class. It was fun to have vintage photos on the pages,brought back memories.

These used the colors from Boom-Di-Ada (CTMH). They turned out nice I think!

Secret Sister Word Bloom Results

On Friday after I left to go to Stamp Camp the mailman arrived with a package from my Secret Sister. My husband called my UL and since she was coming up on Saturday Night she brought my package which included the Family Word Bloom, some dew drops in colors I did not have, and some CTMH buttons that I did not have either. I was determined to work on this album and this is the results. I used the Free Spirit Paper Pack from CTMH. Thanks again Secret Sister I love the book. Oh I used my Bind It All to bind the book-So Awesome!

Stamp Camp Results!

I finally had a moment to take some photos of the creations from Stamp Camp. It was a four day weekend where on Friday I sorted layouts without photos (you know that you have them too) and photos without layouts (yes it was about 8 boxes-of various stages of fullness) to have them meet. I got a ton of photos on layouts and photos set aside for my siblings. Then on Sunday and Monday I was determined to do a couple of cute mini albums. So that is where we are now... This is the cute file folder album that I made (lifted ideas from my DL Tony) using the new Game On paper pack form CTMH.

This card uses another Sheetload of Cards sketch and the color challenge over at SCS. I used Outdoor Denium, Heavenly Blue, and Sweetleaf instead of the SU! colors. It turned out ok I think! Happy Tuesday! I should go to sleep now! That is a total of 30+ cards today! What a day!

yep-More Cards from Sheetload of Cards

These are using the sketch from February 2008 on Sheetload of Cards Blog.

This is a cute kids type set. It uses the Cogsmo Designer Paper from Cosmo Cricket and oh so adorable! I get to scrapbook all weekend and once I got my stamp room cleaned so I could find things I sure have found alot of inspiration. Thanks again Sparkle for the wonderful blog referral!

Love these little guys!

I love the ease of these cards! These were just so easy to put together. More of a scrappy card than stamped card.

Sheetload of Cards May 2008 Sketch

Sparkle shared some Fix-A-Fella cards made with this sketch. I loved them and thought to try them out myself. I love how this bella turned out! I used DCWV Designer Paper and CTMH CS in Goldrush, Lilac Mist, and Vanilla Cream. Stamps by Stamping Bella, and CTMH. Prima Flowers, Bitty Brad (Non CTMH), and buttons in Purple and Redish Purple. Let me see what you do with this sketch! Enjoy!

TLC169 The Best Way

I participated in a swap a while ago where we swapped tags/ATC size and I decided how much easier would it be to make a card than to use the Tag/ATC as the focal point. So that is what I did for the Double Pocket Bag card for the TLC169 over at SCS. The Tag/ATC is from J. McBain and the paper is Chatterbox! Thanks for looking!

What do you do at 3 AM?

CREATE! I made these cards this morning as I was wide awake at 3 AM! Enjoy!

The first card is for my MIL for her birthday using the InkyDoodle Sketch for the weekend. A little different but the basics are the same.

The second card is my version of the card puzzler card for this month. I added the scrap paper for a leaf, ribbon, safety pin, and the stamped image and sentiment. I like how it turned out! Hopefully Jennifer M will too!

The third Card is the for the Stamping Bella SCS Challenge #28 both the sketch and Color Challenges. I love this card!

The fourth card is also a Stamping Bella SCS challenge #27 both the sketch and the color challenges. Colors are a bit wild but pretty and for my aunt for her birthday!

The last card is for Beates Weekend challenge. Again my sentiment is not the right size but I loved this paper and sentiment from Cosmo Cricket!

Leave me a comment and tell me which is your favorite!
