Play Ball Scrap Our Stash Challenge

  

I know this is not a great picture but I'm so rarely in photos and I cherish this one with Abbigayle.   This was my companies Summer work outing to Picnic and see the Chicago Dogs play(THEY WON!).  The kids really didn't want to go but I made them and we all ended up having a great time together.  Abbi and I made funny face pictures and the lighting is terrible because of the lights on the baseball field.   

The layout itself uses a "new" paper pack I added to my stash from Tuesday Morning from Echo Park - Good Day Sunshine.  The baseballs I made with a circle punch and a red pen.  From my stash I used Heidi Swap rub ons, glitter dots from Archivers(blast from the past), the puffy arrow is Basic Grey(another blast from the past) and a wood veneer @ from my veneer box and some older MME Christmas washi tape. OOOH and my journaling block is a stamp from KI Memories.  I just found it recently in my stash. That is probably the oldest thing on my layout.  It's fun to use things that are older, some of them are even coming back around in style! 

The sketch comes from the Scrap Our Stash challenge blog March 2020 Sketch Challenge.  

 

I had a great time working on this and remembering our evening as a family.  This is the reason I scrapbook to keep the memories alive.  Happy and not so happy that turns in to happy as the case may be.  

Hope your keeping busy in this crazy time and  staying safe with your family.  Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Brothers So Tweet - Layout - Scrappy Saturday

The boys need some layouts.  I know this photo looks terribly pink for the boys but really it's more of a taupe my photography lighting is questionable some days.  

Anyhoo the boys were being kind and sitting together on their perch/swing this day just being cute!  I had a great time pulling together the pieces to build this layout and as  you can see I have some items I will call vintage.  From my time collecting all things MME and Jenni Bowlin many many moons ago.  

Hope your having a fabulous weekend and staying warm and safe! 

A little hint from Fabulous Folds

 A couple of the cards I will be teaching in my Fabulous Folds Class @CraftFancy on May 30th.  We have a few spots left in the evening class so be sure to call the store to sign up by the 29th.

Greeting Card Gift Box - Tutorial

Box Tutorial - This box is from the Bus Tour Make & Take.  Everyone that came to the store for the Bus Tour at Craft Fancy last  month made this and a couple of cards to slip into it!  We had a lot of requests for the instructions so here goes.

Start with one piece of Cardstock 8 3/4" x 7 1/2"  Score all four sides at 1 1/2".

Next cut a piece of Patterned Paper at 7 7/8" x 6 5/8"  Score all four sides at 1".

Fold on all the score lines on each piece.  Then on each corner of both pieces snip one side up to the score line.  Remember only one side of each corner square.

Add double stick tape to each corner square on both the base and lid of the box.

These squares will be adhered to the inside side panels.

Both Pieces are now complete.


Embellish and decorate as desired.    This box holds A2 Cards and Envelopes and would make a perfect gift!

Bombshell's April Pinup Challenge - Monochromatic Tags

Patterned Papers by Carta Bella - Beautiful Moments

Patterned Paper MME - Moments

Each image was colored with copics and I used 6x6 pads for all of the patterned paper.  The white tag was much harder to photograph but I really love the way these turned out!  Be sure to play along it's fun making tags!  And we could all use a little fun! 

Have a great Friday!

Ballerina - Card & Tag Set

This set used MME patterned papers, AMuse Stamps and Memory Boxy Dies.  I love how soft and pretty they turned out.

Love Love this little tray.  Here we are at a lookout point from our Vacation this summer to House on the rock.  In this small format you cannot see the House On The Rock hanging out in the distance.  This class is Thursday and we use lots of fun new items that are in the store.

Happy New Year & Love Notes

Love love this basket image.  Dianne got me my very first set of PTI stamps for Christmas this year and I made this Love Notes Card with it.   I'm totally in love with the Vintage Picnic set!  It was the perfect gift. since I couldn't decide what set I wanted over there!  Too many good ones to choose from.  Colored and shaded the image with Copic and layered it with ribbon, twine, basic grey and MME.  That stamp image is from CTMH and I found the entire set at a garage sale this past summer!   It was an Awesome bargain along with a couple of other sets and paper I'm still using. 

Hope everyone is having a great last day of vacation before we all head back to school and work tomorrow!  EEEEEEEK

Teaching Today

More samples from today's class at Craft Fancy.  I had fun doing new techniques with my spellbinders and Sizzix Dies.  Hopefully everyone will love them today.  Sorry my posts are short this week not a lot of extra time to chat chat chat.  But after Saturday I'll be back!

Classes All Week

It's been crazy busy.  Last week the girls and I went to TN to visit my Mom for Spring Break it was wonderful and almost balmy there.   Everyone had a great time.  Before that I was feverishly working on samples for most of my April Classes.  The kids are trying like mad to get back into the swing of things this morning was rough!  Tomorrow will be better! 

Well today I'm teaching all day at Craft Fancy.  Quick and Easy Birthday Cards.  It'll be lots of fun!  We can all use a ton of b-day cards. 

Been Snowing All Day!

It has totally been snowing all day.  Although there seems to be less on the ground now than this morning.  I think it's melting and snowing at the same time?  Is that possible? It is supposed to snow all night long.   Dianne mentioned we may have to have our furry friends pull us to work on sleds tomorrow!  HA

So things are good here.  My class last night was great today was more cleaning and organizing.  Tonight is my last dance class for the year.  Sad but it's good it gets harder around the holidays.  I've added more stuff to the Etsy store.  I have tons more to add this week to mine and Horsefeathersupply.  I've been putting off editing photos until I can wait no longer.  EEEK 

The pic is my 2010 photo Calendar I'll be teaching this class at the store.  Love how it turned out.  and the colors!

Have a great day!
