Love Love Love this new technique …

OK – So today on SCS the TLC is to create a double open card and I LOVE this!  I think it’s so super cute!  I used my cricut for the bottom 2 layers.  I think I have already said this … I REALLY want to get Nestabilities, but the Accent and Essentials Cricut Cartridge kinda does the job.  So, I’ll stick with what I got and hopefully for my birthday I’ll break down and get the Nesties.

Scrapbook Sunday #7

Hello Everyone!

Well, it’s that time again, Scrapbook Sunday!  I must say that this is one of my favorite challenges.  I am glad I am doing this … it forces me to actually get this done and by the end of this year I should have about 40 pages done!  That’s almost a whole book.  I challenge anyone who likes to scrapbook to do this too.  You don’t have to do Scrapbook Sunday pick whatever day you want, but go for it and just think … by the end of the year you will have a whole album done too!

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Cameo Coral

Tooty Fruity

 

I have a SU party tomorrow night and I just got my new Tart and Tangy set and Summer Picnic paper so I wanted to do something with them for the party.  So, I got a little carried away last night making my Hostess gift, but I couldn’t help myself I started working on this at about 9:30 after the kiddo was in bed and the kitchen cleaned up and then the next thing I knew it was 12:00.  HOLY COW.  I put in a movie and just started going to town and had TOO much fun doing this.  I got the tutorial for the box off of Toyz blog. 

I usually get super excited for club and all my SU parties, but I was SO excited for this little fruity set that I was absolutely jacked to get started   and can’t wait to use them at the party.  I am a serious paper geek!

To my Everything … Beate’s WSC #44

Here is my go at Beate’s WSC.  It has been what seems like FOREVER since I participated in a challenge so I was so happy to work on this today.  It was super funny because I put my 6×6 page together on Wednesday and then this challenge came out on Friday and the sketch is SO similar that I decided to use the scraps from my club 6×6 page.

I have wanted to use my Embrace Life set for the longest time … I LOVE this set but it was unfortunately packed away so I had to pull it out.  Also, I just received Define your life so I wanted to use that as well.  I couldn’t help myself I wanted to used everything that I had been missing so I used my sewing machine to stitch around the DP (it’s kinda hard to see in the picture).  And I wanted to use my cricut (my poor bug was packed away too!)  I have really been wanted to get Nestabilities.  I think they look SO stinkin’ awesome, but while I was playing today I pulled out my cricut software and created a scalloped rectangle template that the bashful blue was cut out of.  I also used stickles on certain parts of the flower images.

I tell you what Ladies … I had so much stinkin’ fun today I didn’t want to stop.  It sounds ridiculous but I think I spent about 2 hours on this card because of all the fun things I kept adding. 

Thanks for another great challenge Beate, this was super fun.  TFL!

Scrapbook Sunday #6 … So Good to be HOME!

Well, it is a freakin’ miracle but we are finally in our house and I am none to happy!  We moved in last week and I have so busy putting everything away and cleaning the house so that it’s actually livable!  New construction is DISGUSTING!  This house was SO dirty it wasn’t even funny   But we are starting to settle in and and trying to get back to normal! 

It has been so nice to scrapbook and post today.  I have my computer back with my software and it’s just wonderful to have a craft room back!  Seriously … today has been heaven like.  I didn’t know just how much I missed it all until I started playing today.
