Scrappin'

My sister came over yesterday to do some scrapbooking. Here is a simple, 8x8 page I completed. I have decided to try to do more smaller pages. I feel like the traditional 12x12 are sometimes too large of an area to work with. I'll still do my share of 12x12's but this should be fun and different. This picture is of my son, Nathan, when he was 12 months old. I just can't stand all of the expensive professional photos I have sitting in envelopes. I decided to scrap them and get them out of my office.

Here is the recipe for this page:

Paper: Deja Views Little one collection

Tools: Cuttlebug, Quickuts die

Buttons: Doodlebug Design

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! I made this card for my cousin's daughter's birthday. I guess that makes this for my second cousin. Duh. This was my first time playing with the Cutie Pie DP. I love the colors!

Color Challenge!

This is a card that I made for a color challenge on K. Werner's blog. I was surprised how easily the colors came together! They are not colors I have used together before. This is much prettier in real life.

Here is the recipe:

Ink: Whisper White Craft, Basic Black

Paper: Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie Orchid Opulence

Stamp: Rhona Farrar's Swirls, Warm Words

Other: Flower punch-EK Success, rhinestone stickers

Have a great day!

I love this set! The paper in the Summer Picnic pack is so much fun. I am glad I made this purchase. This card is a case of the one I did with Dutch Girl paper awhile back. I love the layout and this paper is great for this layout. I attempted to cut the circles out with my Fiscars circle cutter. After fiddling with it for ten minutes and then getting Adam involved, I ended up just throwing it away. It just wouldn't work properly. Then, I was thinking about which products I would purchase to make circles, and how many different punches I would have to buy. Then it hit me! Duh! I have a Silouette! This machine is GREAT! I can make any size circle I want!!!
Here is the recipe:
Stamp: Tart and Tangy
Ink: Real Red, Gable Green
Paper: Real Red, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Summer Picnic DP
Other: Dimensionals, Quickutz Silouette, scallop punch, Diamond Glaze, Cropadile, SU ribbon

Tulips!

I can't believe I have had the Terrific Tulips set for over a year and I am just discovering how much fun it is! I mounted it less than a week ago. It is a free set that I received for being on the SU panel. What awesome perks! I have been trying to do more simple cards lately. I think I like the look of this one.

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Terrific Tulips, Warm Words, Rhona Farrer Swirls

Ink: Certainly Celery, Rose Red

Paper: Whisper White

Have a great day!

Is it spring yet? It is this time every year when I get so jumpy and figidy- almost spring!
I bought a dress for Easter that is brown with green tulips. I know it doesn't sound pretty, but I promise it is. It inspired me to make these cards. I was hoping to go with a bright green, but I ended up with Blue Bayou. Go figure!
Here is the recipe:
Stamps: Terrific Tulips, Sincere Salutations
Ink: versamark clear embossing
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou
Other: White embossing powder, heat tool, mat pack, bayou ribbon, pastels-teal
Have a great day!
