Happy Birthday Mitchell

I've been trying to make time for scrapbooking lately. I was inspired by my friend's circle challenge and used bright colors to meet the requirements of the Simon Says All Things Bright and Beautiful!!!  The papers are certainly bright, and the girlfriend is certainly beautiful!! lol

Thanks for visiting!

Happy 20th Birthday Mitchell!

I can't believe Mitchell turned 20 this April...  Anyway, I made this for the Simon Says Die Crazy challenge.  And, I even dug out my old Sizzix letters/numbers for this one.  The hearts and love are from American Crafts! And the matting is from a set of Spellbinders.

Thanks for looking!

Emily and Mitch Again

I made this layout with some Valentine's paper that I got from Doodlebug even though the kids were making Christmas cookies! Hey, what can I say? I loved the papers! I added some ribbon along the photos for my friend Stacy's challenge. Why don't you head over there and make a layout for her challenge. Adding ribbon (she'd love to see some creativity) is the only requirement!! Anyway, the little camera was a stamp from Imaginisce. I added a jewel where the flash is and a brad in the center with a heart!

Have a great day!

This is Actually Me - Can you tell?

I made this using Sketch Inspiration 221 (?)! My friend Stacy sent me the Imaginisce Roly rosies and tool to make these flowers lickety-split! I love making these flowers anyway, and this tool and precut spirals make it so fun to do! I love the Cosmo Cricket Odds & Ends collection. I got it from here! Thanks!

Thanks for visiting!

I've said a prayer for all of those military who are serving us now and in the past! I hope you will pause to think about them, too!

Birthday Bash - Card

This is for

Simon Says......Happy Birthday !!

Card

I made this card for the Imaginisce Card Sketch Challenge and for The Shabby Tea Room's Week #53 - 'Party Time' challenge.  This is so much cuter in person.  There is a 3D element with the banner, the sticker balloons, stick pins, and twine that just doesn't translate here in the photo! I used Imaginisce's Birthday Bash and Splash Dance. I added a little shimmery mist on the white cardstock base and inked the edges...

The Tent

I made this for one of the sketch challenges at Sketches 4 All.  It seems that is all I have been doing creatively lately! :-)

Camping with Tonka

I  made this layout using  The Scrap Room's Weekly 37 sketch.

Rachel and Ashley in 1998

Cosmo Cricket has a really fun contest this week. We are to scraplift this:

Yes, that's right! It's their web page!!!  I used Earth Love to make this fun little scraplift! 

Black and White Birthday Card

For this challenge, I was to use the scraps from Workout 26 or 27 on Scrapfit! The only thing I didn't use on my layout was the brad in the middle of the flower.  I used the ribbon's back for the layout! In the card, I used the front (polka dot) which I really think is cute!

Cupcake Card

I made this card for 

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #71...! and Sketches 4 You. The cute cupcake is from Fiskars (my secret sister sent it to me)!

Stuart's 4th Birthday - 2010

7/28/2010:  I felt like something was missing here. So, I added some mist and stamping on the yellow background! I don't know if it's better or worse, but I can't change it now!

AFTER:

BEFORE:

I made this layout of my nephew (on my husband's side) Stuart's 4th Birthday using Sketch #134 from Sketch Inspiration!  I used the new Birthday Bash collection from Imaginisce. I also used the new I-Rock tool--first time so I didn't go too crazy with it! Green paper with dots is DCWV, green ribbon with dots is American Crafts. I don't know who made the yellow scalloped paper!

Memphis Zoo -- Polar Bears

Well, my photography is crooked again. Only 1 in 50 turn out straight! You get the idea anyway, right??

I made this page for a challenge on Sketches 4 All/You. It is for Stacy H W's weekly challenge. This week's challenge was to use bling and make a monochromatic blue layout! Stacy gives out really nice RAKs for the challenge. I recommend that you check out Sketches 4 All/You because they have a lot of fun challenges!

BTW, have you forgotten about the Blue challenge over at Blue Moon Scrapbooking? There's still time! Check it out if you feel like doing a blue challenge!

1999 Steve's first trip to the Ocean

I created this layout using Splash Dance from Imaginisce.  I won it on their blog! I was so excited to get it that I whipped out a layout as soon as I opened the box.  It helped that I had a color scheme in mind from Frosted Designs (orange, yellow, turquoise, and green) and a sketch in hand from Pages in Time.

Halloween 2009

I guess I am lucky they let me take one picture!
