Magnolia-licious challenge - dig out your vellum!

Hello there crafty peeps!

 

Today I'm showing you a card for the new challenge at Magnolia-licious. We are to use Vellum. At first I was going to do a little box and I had all my papers layed out.. then I seen how when you lay the vellum on a  piece of paper it lightens the one on the bottom. Well I thought using the vellum for matting would be a great way for people to use it ..easily. Then I used the printed vellum from

 Elle's Studio.. the hearts vellum and the striped vellum that I stamped my sentiment on.

 

 

I hope you will join us for our challenge at Magnolia-licious.

If you haven't been by the Magnolia-licious store lately you should stop by and see all of the new collection, all of the designers have the new images colored in the store. It's a great way to see the image fully colored before you buy the stamps. Very inspirational!

Scrapbooking makes me so happy!

 I made a few layouts this weekend for a few challenges I wanted to enter in.

I just love Coloring with my Copics but it sure is so much fun to Scrapbook and go back and forth between the 2. Talk about getting a full taste of paper crafting!

This first one is a layout of my friends daughter on her first birthday. this little cutie will soon be my goddaughter. I just love this little girl to pieces!

I've used the sketch from the Pagemaps challenge. I'm also entering this layout in the

Gossamer Blue challenge to add a touch of gold.

I have used my Gossamer Blue Kit which has these beautiful papers from Crate Paper, and LOVE these frames and Flairs. I've also used some tags from Elle's Studio and Chic Tags, Alphas are American Crafts, stickers are My Minds Eye and balloons are Kasier Craft.

 

 

This next layout is from last year at my 30th Birthday. Ive used lots of Teresa Collins products, papers, brads and dies. I just adore the new lines she came out with at CHA. I've also used some Elle's Studio, Chic Tags, and the Flair is from Paper Bakery. The wood veeners are from Freckled Fawn.

Happy Easter.. and some Layouts!

Happy Easter Everyone.

 

Today we are just lounging around. We are going out to dinner. Unfortunately I don't have a family

that  cares to do anything on Holidays... So it's just Me Ralph and the kids today. Instead of spending it cooking and cleaning.. alone I'd much rather go out to dinner.. so we will!

 

Here are a few layouts I wanted to share that I did this week.

 

I made this one using some new Elle's Studio products I got and some I won from being Featured on their blog. Yay me!! I just love these tags. I also used some of my Teresa Collins papers, dies and embellishments, Glits Designs alphas and washi, Freckled Fawn wood chips, Basic Grey epoxy stickers, Amy Tangerine papers!

 

 

This Layout I made using American Crafts, Elle's Studio, Crate Paper - Maggie Holmes, Freckled Fawn, too!

 

I love this photo! I have it in 8 1/2 x 11 too!

 

A Few Layouts.

I just wanted to share some layouts I did this week. I'm on a roll!!

I've made 8 layouts and 6 cards in the last week since my kids have been off for Spring break.

Next week it's back to my busy routine.

Hopefully being ahead will give me motive to stay ahead..

...I'm having a blast with all my crafty things!

 

 This first page is of my oldest daughter.. about 2 years ago. :( Now she doesn't have bangs and she looks so much older without them.

This layout I made for the Gossamer Blue Scrap lift challenge.

I'm also going to enter it in the Gossamer Blue and Glitz Design Challenge.

I used Glitz Designs, Chic Tags and Elle's Studio products.

 

This next layout I made of my brother's girlfriend and I. She is so sweet and we get aong great. My kids adore her too. :) I think she's a keeper! ♥

 

I used some new My Minds Eye paper I got at the LSS a few weeks ago. I'm just loving orange lately! I popped on over to the MME blog and found a sketch challenge they are having. So I'm entering this in there.

This is another layout I made for the Gossamer Blue and Glitz Design Challenge.

It's of me and my other half.. at the Improv last month. :)

 

That's it for now. I'll be back Monday with a new challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts.



Time for a little 'Me Time!'

Hello out there in blogging land.

I got my hair done last month and snapped a picture of me in the booth.. just so I could scrap it! :)

 

I've used some of my favorite Scrapbooking products and some newly discovered ones, too!

Heidi Swap is now on sale at Michaels.. I love how I can use a coupon.. and I love to see NEW stuff at Michaels!!I've also used some American Crafts products I found at Target.. I love that! So here's my grocery list.. shampoo, soap, toothpaste, buttons, paper.. :) hehe! I've also used my Chic Tags flair and some tags, from my buddy Veronica! Ohh on the bottom of my journaling I added a small part of the Elle's Label from a pack of her snippets. The perfect touch. I sooo need more Elle's Studio stuff!I've also used goodies from my Studio Calico Kit, Freckled Fawn, Basic Grey, Echo Park and

 Wild Orchicd Crafts.

 

I'm entering this layout into a few challenges.
