SRM Stickers

A couple months ago I won a great prize package of stickers on the SRM Stickers blog. Like the Webster's Pages, they have just been sitting in my scrap room. Yesterday I pulled them out and created some cards. I love the clear background of these stickers and they are great for card sentiments.

Webster's Pages

A few months ago Webster's Pages had a warehouse box sale and I couldn't resist. Of course, the box has been sitting on the floor of my scrap room since then but I decided to actually use some of the product last week. I used the "b" sides of the papers (because those front sides just scare me :)) along with a few embellishments from the box to make these simple layouts.

Pocket Page

Hate to throw away all those holiday cards you receive? Save them in a pocket page layout. See the details on the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog.

Bo Bunny and Circles

After a short sabatical, I am back and blogging. It's been a busy couple months but I am back creating and posting on my blog.

I created this layout for Bo Bunny's Layout Challenge to be inspired by circles. I used a couple of photos of my cute boy Saffron (who just happens to match the Forever Fall paper line perfectly) and some die cut circles, buttons and jewels.

Layout Challenges

I have been working on challenges at My Scraps & More, Birds of a Feather Kit Club, and We Scrap. Here are some of my layouts from these challenges.

WCMD Cards

Last Saturday was World Card Making Day and I spent it making cards for challenges on some different sites. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Bo Bunny Layout Challenge

The current Bo Bunny Layout Challenge is to use Noteworthy. I will say I have taken these larger Noteworthy pieces out a few times and tried to use them but they seemed so large. They worked perfectly on this layout though as sort of a photo mat.

I also used the Starting Points Challenge on the Sweet Peach Crop Shop blog.

Basic Grey and Sweet Peach Crop Shop Blog Challenges

The September 30th Basic Grey blog challenge is to create a layout with 3 photos, 3 pattern papers, and 3 brads. I created this layout with Life is a Party papers and letter stickers. I also used some Basic Grey Basics stickers and Marrakech brads.

This layout is also for the Sweet Peach Crop Shop crop office supply challenge. I used a library card to hold the title and the Basics sticker in the upper right corner is lined like school paper.

This layout was created with September Week 2 sketch.

This month I worked with the Scrapdango Sugar Kit featuring Crate Farmhouse mixed with a couple sheets of Little Yellow Bicycle Finally Fall. The complete design team reveal can be seen here.

For this layout, I used sketch 56 from Sketches in Thyme.

For this layout, I used Sassy Lil Sketches September Week 1 sketch.

Scrapbook {Express}ions Challenge

This week's challenge at Scrapbook {Express}ions blog is to create a layout that contains yellow (at least 30%). Hope you will come by and join us in the challenge.

I used some of the new My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 Sunshine Collection for this layout.


I used sketch 172 from Creative Scrappers. This also qualifies for September Open Challenge at Sketches in Thyme.

Christmas Cards

Along with the cute tags below made with Bella Blvd.'s Christmas Wishes line, I made a couple of cards.

This card is for the sticker challenge at The Paper Variety. The "Joy" banner letters are stickers. It is also for the L challenge at My Sketch World's ABC Crop to make a card with little banners.

This card for the Moxie Fab Vertical Sketch Challenge (although maybe I failed because the card isn't vertical)

using this sketch.

Christmas Tags and Twine

These cute tags were made using the Bella Blvd. Christmas Wishes line...don't you just love those cute penguins? I made these for The Paper Variety's favorite embellishment challenge. I love baker's twine and seem to have been using it on a lot of my layouts and cards lately.

You Are My Sunshine

I recently bought a lot of the new My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 Collections. I especially love the black and yellow in the Sunshine Collection. I created this card using this month's sketch on the My Mind's Eye blog. This card is also for the favorite manufacturer challenge at The Paper Variety.
If you would like to see how I created my banner, check out this post on the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog.

Saffron at 9

I created this layout of my cute boy, Saffron, with photos from his 9th birthday last March.


This layout qualifies for the
September Blocks Challenge at Burlap & Buttercups and Margy's Number Challenge at Back Porch Memories.

Authentique Paper Sketch

Authentique Paper has posted their first challenge on their blog. I still had some scraps left from my Scrapdango July Spice Kit which featured Authentique's Journey Collection, so I decided to use the card sketch.

Here is my card:

Scrapbook {Express}ions Challenge

This week’s challenge at the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog is a recipe challenge. Since a lot of you are busy with kids back to school, I’ll make this easy and let you decide if you want to make a card or a layout. Your project must contain: (1) a rubon (I know you all have them hiding in the depths of your stash….dig one out), (2) bling or pearls, and (3) ribbon, twine or string. You may use as many other items as you like. I hope you will join us in this challenge.



This card also qualifies for this week's challenge at The Paper Variety to use thread.

Creative Scrappers Sketch

I haven't been getting many challenges done lately, but did do this layout of Sketch #167 at Creative Scrappers.

This month I worked with Scrapdango's Spice Kit which features the Authentique Journey line. Here are some of my favorite projects. You can see all the design team's reveals

Margarita Time!!!

No, not my favorite south of the border beverage, but this bright and cheery American Crafts Margarita collection. I was at a crop recently and Margarita was one of the sale specials, so I decided it was the perfect time to stock up on some of this fun, bright and cheery collection.
