Some Scrapbooking

I finally get to share some scrapbooking pictures. I took this one a long time ago on my mom's digital camera and I finally got it on my computer. Sorry the picture is bad, but you get the idea right?!

My oldest daughter, Katryce (Kat) loves the cat (honey) in the picture. I swear that cat knows when Katryce is coming, 'cause when we start down my parents driveway the cat starts walking towards the vehicle and waits for Katryce to get out. They are such a good pair! Honey is really loving and patient with kids.

I had to scrap these pictures before Katryce got a hold of them. Once she gets a hold of them she'll cut the "extras" out and make a card or something out of them. which she did with the other ones I was going to scrapbook. :)

I'm a little drained so sorry if I'm not making any sense. LOL!

About the page:
I got the color combo off of a magazine cover. Creating Keepsakes I think it was not sure what issuse though. The colors are: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou, Really Rust and Summer Sun. I used Boho Backgrounds Stamp Set and Big Deal Alphabet. I also used the Boho Blossoms Punch.

Hope you enjoyed my page. I better get ready for work. Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween

I wanted to make a Halloween Card, but realized I didn't really have any Halloween Stamps.

The only ones I had were the ones from the Holiday Blitz Stamp Set. So I got on the internet to check the blogs that I follow and guess what? Heather over at Stamp with Heather posted about how to make a bat with Stampin' Up! punches! Perfect I thought! so this is what I came up with! I didn't have the 1 3/4" circle punch, so I used my coluzzle instead. I misplaced my small star punch (sure I'll find it once we move), so I just used the large star punch, but just a little of the point. If that makes sense?!

I hope you enjoyed my card! I really like how it turned out!

Batty Card:

Stamps: Holiday Blitz and All Holidays

Paper: Basic black, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss and basic gray

Ink: Kiwi Kiss and Basic Black,

Accessories: 1 1/4", 1 3/8", 1/2", 1/4" circle punches; 5-petal punch, slit punch, larger star punch. 2 way glue pen and basic gray taffeta ribbon.

Hopefully I remembered everything!!

Christmas Card

I always see cards using Kraft with a green and some times a red....loving the cards I see. I decided to make one of my own. I'm not as happy with it as I thought I would be, but it gets the job done right? I guess I've been having a little big of Stampers Block....nothings coming to me...and I am not feeling very creative.

I started with a Kraft base and inked the edge with Close to Cocoa ink.

I stamped my Always Artichoke card stock with White Craft ink and set it aside to let it dry.

Next I stamped the tree in Always Artichoke onto white cardstock and sponged the edges. It felt a little plain, so I added some ruby Red brads from the earth elements package.

Once the ink on the Artichoke cardstock was dry I adhered it to a piece of Riding Hood red cardstock 1/8" bigger.

I matted the Focal image to another piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock that was also 1/8" bigger than the white. I adhered that over the adhered artichoke piece with dimensionals.

Hope you like my card. thanks for stopping by!

I don't know how much I'll be on for the next couple of weeks. We'll be moving into a different place at the end of this week. So bare with me for the next week or two and I'll be back on soon!

WoW! I was just thinking that it's been like a month and a half since I've actually sat down and made more than one card! Well, I tried a new technique and it didn't turn out for me. The results kind of look like a marble or something to that effect. So I decided to go ahead and make a couple cards with it anyway! So I hope you like them.

I'm not an orange fan, so I don't know why I chose these colors. Amazingly, I actually liked the results. My favorite is the 2nd one... I really like the kraft taffeta ribbon with these colors. In real life, it makes it look more goldish (okay, so I'm tired! :P )

Sorry this is such a short post.... I'm really tired, but I'll be back shortly with another card! I've about fallen asleep on the keyboard a couple times. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Thank you card recipe:

Finally....something new!

Hello, Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! I'm fighting a darn cold, but am feeling much better than I did a couple days ago. For some reason, mornings are the worst. In the evenings, I feel almost 100%. But anyways....

Last night, I was sitting at my desk wanting to create something, but nothing came to me...... Probably from the lack of creating this past month or so! The above card is what I came up with....not sure how much I like it, but it works! :) I got the color combo from Carrie over at Artistic Avenger. I love her blog, she is so inspiring!

I started with my Almost Amethyst base and stamped it with Polka Dot Background Stamp in Almost Amethyst ink.

I then grabbed my Curly Label Stamp Set from the Curly Label Punch Bundle (I think that's what it's called). It's in the section with the punches. I stamped the "thank you" image in Elegant Eggplant onto Whisper White Card stock. Punched it out with the Curly label Punch from the same bundle and adhered it to a piece of Always Artichoke Card Stock.

I tied a piece of Moss Gingham around a piece of Elegant Eggplant Cardstock. I mounted the "main image" onto the Elegant Eggplant and adhered that to a piece of Mellow Moss Cardstock.

Finally, I adhered all of that to the base of the card with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed my card and thanks so much for stopping by!
