Aye Matey!

Here's a 2 page Layout created with Reminisce products for Scrap N Book scrapbook store. The black circles are created using clipart!

I stitched the punched border with DMC floss for extra texture. Sparkle and stitching... a winning combination!

YOU Make a Difference!

I recently created this mini-book for my scrapbook store Scrap N Book. All supplies can be purchased here: http://www.scrapnbook.typepad.com/

The mini-book celebrates my daughters servants heart. I created it for her to keep in her room, and to inspire her to continue in service. She has been been so happily serving since I can remember!

Bo Bunny Card Challenge

Bo Bunny issued a card challenge for February- and I couldn't wait to join in! The sketch was created by the talented Juliana Michaels. Here is the sketch: I created my card using Bo Bunny's Flutter Butter Line and also some Calypso. The buttons are from Bo Bunny's Abbey Road collection. Amazing how all 3 lines coordinate so well together! I added some birthday candles wrapped in some sheer ribbon for good measure. Here is my card:

Thanks for taking a look!

Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge

Bo Bunny issued a sketch challenge - and I couldn't resist! The sketch was created by the super talented Rita Shimniok. For tons of inspiration... check out her blog here: http://colorfullycreating.blogspot.com/

Here is the sketch:

I used Bo Bunny's "Tis the Season" line for my layout. Yes... this is a Christmas line - but I used it for an engagement layout! See how versatile it is?! I also used some flourish stickers from the Abbey Road collection.

Here is my layout:

I created the flowers using directions by Bo Bunny Design Team Member Tonya Dirk... THANK YOU to Tonya! I inked the flowers with Distress Ink and then spritzed them with Glimmer Mist for sparkle! The red heart is also spritzed with glimmer mist and them stitched onto the layout.

Here's a closeup:

Lastly... I for a helpfult hint! The flourishes were green - but I wanted them to be more brown so I used my StazOn ink pad and a Inksesstials foam dauber to re-color them to a brown. Then I outlined the flourishes (and the title) to give them more definition.

Design Team work for Scrap N Book

I wanted to share my latest Design Team work for Scrap N Book. They carry a whole store chock full of fabulous products. This month I worked with Crate Paper patterned and chipboard embellishments, Bo Bunny Chipboard Alphas, Bazzill, Queen & Co jewels and much more. Check out their blog here for store information: http://www.scrapnbook.typepad.com/

Here is the first layout I created with pictures of my girls from Christmas. The tag is leftover from a Melissa Frances mini album. The red alpha stickers are by Reminisce.

The 2nd layout I created features my wonderful parents and 2 of my daughters from Christmas day. I was able to utilize the remaining remnants leftover from the circle I had cut out from the previous layout (SAVE those scraps!!) I cut the scraps with old deco scissors and went to town!

I created several cards also. The first card is a "gate card" that opens in the middle. I used distress inks to enhance the elements on the card. Here is my 2nd card - I used the buttons as ornaments.

This box hold a mini album with pictures of family Game Night celebration! The mini album is an accordian album that is all pictures.

Grateful...

Just a quick post today of a layout I created from my LSS... Scrap N Book. Stop on by the store and check them out here: http://www.scrapnbook.typepad.com/.

The Layout is created with the fabulous Bo Bunny Flutter Butter line which I absolutely adore. I also used Ali Edwards stamps from Technique Tuesdays.

Of important note: The layout is based on a sketch by the wonderful Rita Shimniok. She has a fantastic blog worth checking out here: http://colorfullycreating.blogspot.com/

5th grader

Isn't it fun when you create a layout using a patterned paper titled "Kitchen Spice"... and make a layout about starting 5th grade? It just proves how versatile the patterned paper really is! I love the color scheme of this paper - it is so rich and full of texture.

I cut the butterfly out of the Bo Bunny Double dot paper and then couldn't resist adding flowers that I "fussy cut" from the Kitchen Spice Sesame paper.

The chipboard star makes the perfect home for the title... and don't you love the Jenni Bowlin calendars? They are perfect embellishments!

The next time you decide to make a layout... think outside the box. Possibly Kitchen Spice would make a perfect Back to School layout for you!
