8 x 8 Scrapbook

***Most of the supplies used are NOT Stampin' Up!***

(It would probably be cuter and match better if they were! :-)

I started cleaning my craft room and found a project I had wanted to do over a year ago. I had all the papers I needed, just had to decide on the layouts and add embellishments. It's a simple 8x8 scrapbook, all ready for pictures and journaling and then just slip the pages into sheet protectors and into an album. Have a great scrapbookin' day!

P.S. I have a bunch of these supplies left over if any of you would like some, just let me know.

B is for Baby

It has been awhile since I posted any of my work, and that is because I couldn't find my craft

room with all the holiday messes. But I needed a baby card for a friend, so I managed to find enough space and card scraps to make this one card. Hopefully, I will soon have my room back in order and I will show you all of my fun things I am going to make with my new SU stuff I got for Christmas!

Christmas Goodies

This is the other project I've been working on--making goodies for family, friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. I'm finally done. It really didn't take too long. I chose very simple recipes(spritz cookies, candy cane fudge, chocolate covered/dipped pretzels and a few different kinds of truffles). Now we just have to deliver them all. Hope you all enjoy your holiday goodies(sorry if you live too far away for us to give you some, we still love you)!

Christmas Projects

I know I am long over due for some good stamping posts. So here are some of the projects I have been working on. I gave some other projects away without taking pictures first. Mostly they were tiles that I had stamped in different fonts with different sayings.

I stamped this tile with a retired SU alphabet set and I used Brown Stays On ink.

These projects were made using decor elements sayings. I think they are so fun.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Let me know if I can help any of you with homemade holiday gift ideas.

A Christmas Wish

I've been working on some big projects lately, so I don't have much to show yet. I've started making cards to send out for the holidays. Here's one that I used the blender pen to color. Other than that, not much to it. I hope you all are having fun with your holiday projects.

Snowmen and Snowflake

I saw these cute snowmen that another SU stamper made and I just had to try to make them. They are made just by using punches--really quite easy and cute. The snowflake and textured paper were both made with the Big Shot Die-cut machine. The snowflake is made out of cardboard and I put white craft ink on it. Thanks to all the girls who came to our girls craft night. It was alot of fun. Hopefully we'll do it again soon. Have a happy stampin' day!

November Swap Card

I love going to the monthly card swap. There were some really great cards there. This is the card I made for the swap. I'm sure I could have added more details to it(like some color on the trees or words), but I ran out of time.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Mr. Twigster

Paper: White, Riding Hood Red

Ink: Basic Black, Close to Cocoa, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: Brad, Scallop Edge Punch, Stamping Sponge

Gift Tags

My daughter was given some cute paper scraps. So this is what she did with them. I think they are very cute. I'm excited to get started on holiday projects. If any of you want to get together with me sometime and make holiday cards, tags, or gifts just let me know. Have a very creative day!

Hurray for the Phillies!!

This is for my dad, my family members, and all you other Phillies fans out there. Congratulations!!!

Monster Card

I think this card is so fun. I can't take credit for it. It was a shoebox swap card that I got to make. We used circle punches and the round tab punch and eyelets. I think this will be a fun card for kids to make at a Halloween party. Happy Halloween Stampin'!

Spooky Halloween Card

I made this fun card(it's missing the black background) at Sherrill's event yesterday. I thought it looked hard, but it wasn't. The black images are stamped(on non-glossy photo paper). Then we used a template to sponge on the yellow. Then we did the fun part, the clouds. We used a gray ink pad, a small sponge, and a torn piece of paper. It's my new favorite stampin' technic. I'd be glad to show you how I did it anytime. Just let me know. Happy Stampin'!
