Our little grandson made his entrance into the world on November 23 and we are so excited to be grandparents! Here’s another layout I’ve added to his scrapbook, which I’ll give to my DIL for Christmas. She’ll be able to add the photos!
I used my Cricut for the words and the vehicles. “Boys Will be Boys” is a wonderful cartridge full of boys toys and phrases!
This is another layout I’ve done for my DIL who is in labor as I’m typing this! We might just have a grandson before the day is over :)
I used my Cricut for the stars and Design Studio to weld the title for this layout. Cardstock is by Stampin’ Up: Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue, Barely Banana and various accessories.
I have taken the last two days to get some scrapbooking done for my daughter-in-law who is past due with our first grandson. It’s been a long time since I’ve played in the craft room just for the sake of playing, with no thoughts about upcoming classes, and it’s been FUN! My hope is to get 20 layouts done in time to send for Christmas. Check back soon, I’ll be adding more pages!
Here’s Conner’s first Christmas layout…
I used my Cricut to cut out “Christmas” and Santa’s sleigh/reindeer. The background paper is Stampin’ Up’s Jolly Holiday DSP. Stampin’ Up Cardstock colors are Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & black. The vanilla zig-zig strips (looks like rick-rack) were made with the Sizzix Bigz XL Die, Tasteful Trim offered in Stampin’ Up’s Holiday Mini Catalog (pg. 17).
Here’s one of my favorite punch art cards so far. Every month we make 2 punch art cards so I’m sure I’ll have some new faves very soon!
This was inspired by Kim Score.
We’ll practice using our Stamp-a-ma-Jigs in my Creative Card Design classes this month and here’s one of the cards we’ll be making. I’m hearing that the pumpkin crops were kind of skimpy this year, but this lil’ lady is haulin’ quite a load!
Stamps I used: Loads of Love, Loads of Fun, Loads of Love Accessories, Autumn Harvest, Falling Leaves (grateful), Everyday Flexible Phrases (happy fall), Sanded ; Cardstock: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Shimmery White
I used a new color combination of Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede (all Stampin’ Up!) for this Christmas card. We made this at a recent workshop, using the new Bells & Boughs stamp set.
Many years ago I made a mosaic background with the scraps of rubber we end up with after purchasing Stampin’ Up stamps. Recently I dug it out and decided to show my class attendees how to make their own mosaic.
Here’s a card I made using the mosaic as a background.
It’s really a simple card, quick and easy to make! I used Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango cardstock.
No, not me silly! My daugher-in-law who is due in November with my first grandchild!
While on vacation, I’ve been busy in the craft room finishing up some projects. Here are some pictures of the paper bag book that I’ll be sending to Rosie…
My inspiration was some Karen Foster stickers and they went perfectly with some old Keeping Memories Alive paper that I’ve had in my stash for years. Lots of embellishments using Prima flowers, brads, ribbon, hardware, rub on’s and of course rubber stamps! I love making paper bag books because the sky’s the limit. Anything goes! I still need to make some inserts to go inside the bags where Rosie can stash all kinds of notes and memorabilia.
I stamped this card up with the new “Just Believe” set. Many of you know that I have a hard time leaving cardstock blank, but on this card the background is plain and I’ve added some of the new Victoria Crochet Trim on page 190 of the 2010-11 Stampin’ Up catalog. Sometimes I like “simple”!
Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, Early Espresso; Ink: Early Espresso; Other: 1 3/4” circle punch, sponge, Victoria Crochet Trim
