Easter Eggs

Well, seeing how I have posted for so many days in a row, it seems I am back to scrapbooking in full force!!!  I love this layout and love this collection from Webster's Pages so much.  It is called Girl Land, but you can see that it CAN be adapted to a boys' layout quite easily!!!!  I made it for the Page Maps Challenge and sketch found when you click the link. To me, the prize Webster's Pages is providing is the best of the best:  the new Plum Seeds line. I'd be so happy to win it!!!! Anyway, I digress.  I adapted my layout to 12 x 12.  I thought it would be fun to dig out an old Sizzix bunny die for this cute layout and stamped the chipboard that they are sitting on with a Webster's stamp that matches the collection.  I also gave each bunny a blingy-heart to hold!!!  

Thanks for visiting! If you leave a comment letting me know you stopped by, I'd be happy to return the favor!!

Have a great day!

Page 2 of disc golf (march 2012

This is for the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge! I love those!!!  You'll have to check out the previous post for Page 1.

Hope things are going well for you. It is still cold, and there is a lot of a snow in the yard here!

Second Post Today - Disc Golf (march 2012)

I was lucky enough to win some Fancy Pants this year. I guess I was waiting to do these photos until the right paper came along. Although I didn't receive any 12 x 12 sheets, I received the 6 x 6 and a whole bunch of embellishments from my favorite collection:  Park Bench! I cut up several pieces of the 6 x 6 tablet to make my "stripes under the photos. It is actually a two-page spread and the strips carry over to the 2nd page.  I had a lot of fun working with the collection and feel very fortunate to have won it!!! I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp -- add an arrow (the stickers in the collection had the perfect arrow).  I also did some embossing in the top corner by folding my paper to fit into my big shot. It is hard to tell here but it does add some amazing dimension and texture to the page.

See how Charlie is reacting to the snow now in my first post today: http://kmassman-scrapbooks-cards.blogspot.com/2013/02/more-snow-and-now-he-loves-it.html

Prom 2012 - Take 2

I created this for Scrapfit's challenge #68 to use mist.  Sorry about the blur in the center of the photo--I guess I need to look at my lense.

Thanks for looking!

Easter Treats

I'm entering Mitch and Emily's Easter treats in the Simon Says Use Your Favorite Tool challenge. I don't really have a favorite--I love all my tools equally! Ha Ha! But, I do use my Cricut a lot! Plus, don't you just love the heart box that I made with the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge???  I made the bunny from the Winter Wonderland cartridge with some yummy Basic Grey papers... The boxes themselves are American Crafts!  The candy was handmade at the Columbia, Missouri, Candy Factory!!!!

Thanks for looking, and I hope your Easter is special!!!

Mizzou Campus Tour--2011

As it turns out, Mitch only took one campus tour and applied to only Mizzou!  He has decided it would be good to get his bachelor's degree there and has been accepted into the Honors program.  After he finishes, he will apply to graduate school at either Northwestern or The University of Chicago for his graduate program. At that point, he may be able to get a fellowship!  Anyway, I am just now scrapbooking these photos from last year. I had two extra photos of the business school and Mizzou's AMAZING recreation center. So, I have placed them under some photos with a little pull for each.

I hope you have a great day and weekend!!!

Happy Together -- UPDATED 3/9

I decided something was missing. So, I added the Prima flower and moved the happy up closer to the border. Do you think it is an improvement???

I made this layout of Emily and Mitch just happy to be together! I used all Close to My Heart except the letters which are Thickers and the lace.  Well, and I rubbed some gold Adirondack Paint Daubers on the pieces I cut from the CTMH Art Philosopy Cricut cartridge which is totally amazing!!!!  I made it using Artful Delight's beautiful sketch.  Have you checked out LeeAnne's kits? She and her team have such a knack at picking out great kits!!!

Merry Christmas - Crafter's Companion Style

I made this little card using Card Patterns Sketch 141 with a Humphrey's Corner Collection - Birthday Girl stamp from Crafter's Companion.  I decided to use her in this Christmas card.  It fits, too! I colored her with some of the Copics my friend Stacy sent me as well as some CTMH watercolor pencils.  I used the CTMH Art Philosopy Cricut Cartridge which I embossed as well as a Jolee's star and some red Colorbok decorations my friend Lural gave me!  I am "teaching" her some things about card making, and she so kindly brought me some embellishments to return the favor. I think I have her addicted to card making now!!!!

Anyway, I am entering the card in Crafter's Companion challenge as well as Simon Says Stamp challenge and Frosted Designs: Fabulous Friday Embossing Challenge.

Thanks for visiting! If you leave me a message, I'll know you stopped by (I'll come see you, too!)!

2nd half of Frenchie's Small Headed Beginnings

Here's the 2nd half of the layout that I posted earlier!  I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to make the letters and the spiral for the flower! I distressed both with Ranger's distress inks. I also used a CTMH stamp. Steve picked some dried sedum from our yard to serve as Frenchie's hair!

Thanks for visiting!!!!! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Frenchie and her Small Headed Beginnings

I made this for the Simon Says Stamp Button challenge and for the Smile challenge at The Paper Variety. Why should you smile at this, you say?  Well, look at the bottom left photo. Mitch thought it would be hilarious to make a tiny, little head for Frenchie.  The last photo shows him making it the correct size.  I love the buttons and the snowflake image from CTMH and that paper from DCWV.  The background has hints of text and lots of glitter--just perfect for these photos!!!!  There will be a page 2 of this layout which I may share later...

Thanks for visiting!

The Old Point Loma Light

Here's a layout I did today using mostly Webster's Pages. I made it for Scrapfit'sWorkout #53 'The Journaling Goes Round & Round'.  I did my journaling around the two photos!  I cut the letters with my Cricut, added a few Martha Stewart butterflies, part of a ZVA crystals, and some Tattered Angels mist as well as my favorite Fiskar's border punch!

I hope this gets me back into crafting a bit more!!! I certainly have the photos!

Thanks for visiting! It makes my day!
