No Squares Here!

I was asked to design a scrapbook page for a challenge going on at PW for NSD. I love to do smaller scrapbook pages and this 6x9 layout was a lot of fun to work on. The challenge offered to other PW members was to create a layout that was not your typical square layout.

My layout is very simple with few embellishments, but I like it that way. You can do a lot with some paper scraps and a little VersaMark. :) This is my cute little neice, Cylee. My husband and I got to spend a whole day with her and her older brother, Calin, last August and we had a blast!! This will be a great page to help remember that day.

Supplies-

A Little Whimsy
purple, teal and white cardstock
VersaMark
scallop edge punch
Graphic Blooms
black pen

Here are some cards that I made based around the card I made for this PW color challenge. Thanks for looking. :)

Suppies-

Fancy Curls
black, white, red, gray cardstock

Trendy Greetings
black and gray ribbon

pop dots

Noir Palette Ink

Mini Notecards

I played with one of the new hostess sets from Serendipity this evening. There's not much to these, but I think they are cute. They are quick to make, too!!

Color Challenge

I decided to take a color challenge that was offered by Laurie over at PW. The challenge was to use gray, black and white. I kept trying to use a piece of gray cardstock, but I gave up and used some gray ribbon instead. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies-

Fancy Curls
black and white cardstock

Birthday Card

I just love the 'Edge Designs' stamp set. It just adds a little extra something to your project. For this card, I glued a scrap of teal paper to my white card base and then stamped one of the 'Edge Design' stamps next to it with Noir Palette ink. The floral images come from a new set called 'Floral Patches' and I stamped the image in Claret Palette ink onto white cardstock and then cut the images out. My sentiment (birthday wishes) is from the set 'Little Cupcake'.

A card and some news...

I'm sorry for not posting in so long. I have been taking a little time off because my husband and I are expecting our first child!!! I'm just about at 13 weeks and I'm finally getting a little energy back. I've been going to bed at 8:30pm most nights and haven't felt like doing any paper crafting. I'm feeling good today and decided to try and make a card. I didn't have many ideas flowing, but finally came up with this. The colors in the cake didn't show up very good, sorry. There is a thin green mat behind the cream cardstock piece. I used it to help with some of the green flowers I put on the cake. I like this new stamp set (Little Cupcake), but I'm never quite sure on how to color everything. Well, hubby and I are heading to a movie. I hope to have some more new new stuff to post and share soon!!

March Technique Club Projects

Here's a peak at the projects I'll be teaching at my March Technique Club. I just love the tags and flowers on page 6 of TAC's new Serendipity magalogue. My first project is this card that features one of the flowers. (Please excuse my poorly taken photos. I'm working with a new light set-up and I'm still trying to get things just how I want them.)



supplies for care- 1-1/4" extra jumbo punch, 1-3/4" super jumbo punch, Angelee paper, Edge Designs, Linear Sentiments, Gratitude, Noir Palette ink, Violete Palette ink.

Are you familiar with scorpal.com? If not, you've got to check it out. There are tons of great projects and great tutorials. The following project was inspired by a 'Easter Goodie Bag'. I just purchased TAC's Little Cupcake stamp set and it was perfect for this project. I'm not wild about the peppermint candies, but it's all I had on hand at the time.

supplies- Little Cupcake, A Little Whimsy paper pad, aqua cardstock, Prismacolor pencils, ribbon, misc. scallop punch.

This little tag...I just love it! It goes along with the flower from the first project I showed you. Again, you can find this tag on p. 6 of the Serendipity Magalogue. I'll have my technique club ladies make two or three of these tags. I really like the shipping tag punches. I'm always trying to just make my own tag patterns, but these punches make it soooo much easier.

supplies- Mega Merchandise tag, Giga Shipping tag, Extra Jumbo flower punch, purple patterned paper from Angelee, misc. green and pink cardstock, lavender scrapper's floss, brad, Crop-a-Dile, misc. ribbon and eyelet.
