Some Craftiness

Here I have been doing some fun crafting and not sharing it with my dear friends! So sorry to leave you high and dry for so long.

To start off I have been scrapbooking. Have you heard of the Silhouette? It's fabulous!!! You can create your own designs and it cuts them out for you. It does way more then that, but I'm still learning. Anyway I used it on the layout below. Love it! I also created a fun Halloween craft using the Silhouette to cut out the faces. Plus a fun little picture to hang on the wall. I've also been crocheting fun hats and baby boots. Making holiday decorations and a few home decor items.

Scrapbook fever

For Christmas my dear husband gave me some (lots) for new product. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. However I realized since we moved (almost a year ago) we haven't printed out photos. Which means I am drastically behind on my second baby's album. Good thing I'm in a mood to scrap. Here are a few of my latest creations.

 The three above mainly consist of Amy Tan's line with AC. It's one of the lines Richard gave me. I love it! Below is mainly a line by Crate Paper. I love the colors.

I hope this fever sticks around awhile.

8x8 Album

I'm doing and 8x8 album for my oldest. I finished her baby book and decided that it would be easier to do smaller layouts for pictures beyond her first year. Here are a few.

Always

I was going through some pictures today and saw this one. I love this picture and needed to scrap it. 

So I did. I used the dear lizzy Enchanted line from American Crafts. 

I had fun embellishing with my Stickles too.

I'm trying out for another design team. American Crafts to be exact.

This is my third time and I hope it will be a charm.

Here is the card I submitted

Wish me luck!

A Gift

A little bit ago my mom asked if I would help her with a gift for my stepdad. We made him a scrapbook of some of his favorite outdoor moments. I used the Campy Trails line from American Crafts. It was perfect. Here are two of my favorite pages.

Lollipop Press - Santa Baby

Be sure to head on over to the Lollipop Press website and snag this mega kit! It's a bright and cheery Christmas line that will give you lots of holiday joy.

Lollipop Press - Dapper Man Line

I had fun finding some old photos and scrapping them with this vintage style line. The colors are rich and  fun to work with. Check out Lollipop Press to get your own kit.

22 weeks and Growing

These pictures Richard took (minus the ultrasound) worked perfect for this Nutty Buddy Line. Have I mentioned how fun it is to work with? Well I love it! Hope you do too.

One More

Here's another from the Nutty Buddy Line. Be sure to check out Lollipop Press

Fall Layout

Digital Layout using Lollipop Press's new line Nutty Buddy. I'm loving this line. It has fun colors, great fall shapes and the cutest little beaver. Can't wait to do more, so be on the look out.

Plus get the kit yourself here!

English Garden Line

Two more Digital Layouts from the English Garden line. What can I say I just love the simplicity and beauty of it.

More for Lollipop Press

 I used English Garden for this "bride to be" layout. I love the elegant designs and pretty colors.

This is the Monsterocity line. I think originally it was meant for boys, but I loved the colors and design so I just had to use it. It turned out great for a Halloween page.

This is another one from the Monsterocity line. Worked great for camping.

New Layouts

This one was inspired by our new baby. She was so fun to watch in the ultrasound and we got some cute profile pictures that I just had to scrap. I used AC's new City Park pattern paper, cardstock, thickers, ribbon and accents.

Bliss indeed! I loved the Dear Lizzy line that Richard worked on. It's bright, enchanting and fun to use. I used it in the next two layouts.

Lollipop Press - My first Digi Layout

I'm going digital! Not completely but I did for this layout. The line is Shaded Chic and has some great designs and colors to play with. Check it all out here!

Layouts

So the story behind these layouts is that they came from the same sketch. Basically I started working on a circular sketch and was having some trouble with it. I ended up with one layout that had nothing to do with the original sketch and one that is a bit closer.

This one took forever. I used rub-ons and put them all over the two pink cards. I like the end result, it just took forever. Happy scrapping!

Can you stand to see more?

Two more layouts. I have to give myself a small pat on the back. So far I'm staying on top of my pictures.

The colors in this layout were inspired by a room I saw in Martha Stewart's Living magazine. I loved how they looked together. I think if I were to go back and redo this page I would put all three pictures across the top. I used mostly AC cardstock, AC details, AC fabric thickers and Basic Gray pattern paper.

This was a different layout for me. I like the circles and played it up a bit by using the ribbon bunching technique around the edge of the big circle. You can't see in the picture but I sprayed Glimmer Mist around the big circle. Everything is American Crafts other then the star punch that comes from Fiskars.

More Layout Fun!

I've been working on a family album. A lot of my inspiration has come from KP. I've said it before I think she rocks! Hope your creative juices start pumping.

The two camping layouts I used Cosmo Cricket's Earth Love line. The colors worked perfect for that rustic outdoors feel. I also used masking tape to add little bits of detail. Of course American Crafts product is used through out mostly in ribbon.

Richard designed the Heat Wave line with our friend Nichole at AC. I love the bright colors and fun summer feel. It worked out perfect for my Fourth of July pages. My husband is amazing!

These last two layouts are for my Sketchbook class. I love the color palettes on both layouts and really just had fun. So now that you have seen my latest get to work on yours. As always Brecreative!
