Rock It Birthday card

Created this masculine birthday card from my "saved" images and pieces bin. Great I am getting my bin down and creating lots of cards in the mean time!!!

The image is from Stampin' Up, the sentiment is from Cricut cartridge (sorry not sure which one as it was cut awhile ago and I didn't use it at the time).

Each layer on the base card is 2 1/2" x 4". Green star scrapbook paper is from ColorBok (got the clearance 12 x 12" pad at Wal-Mart for 2.50! All boy prints). The orange card stock is actually card blanks and I cut circles in it after smashing bottle caps and thought it created a cool pattern!.
All layers included the card base I roughed the edges by using my scissors edge.

Rosewood ColorkBok Scrapbook mini album

I picked up this pad of beautiful floral print ColorBok scrapbook papers at Wal-Mart for 5.00! I love ColorBok selections and creations.

Using my creation process of minis I went to town to create this using some new Martha Stewart and Spellbinders supplies.

Had some old silk flowers to tie the theme and papers together which I hot glued to the cover. Please see the video for more details if you like.

Mini Album using Belladonna paper

My sister gave me this Colorbok paper pack for my birthday. They are beautiful and you can get it at Wal-Mart!

I wanted to create a mini album to showcase the paper and of course couldn't resist using my traditional method for pages. (Take an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of solid cardstock and score down the middle, turn score at 2 1/2" or 3" to form the pocket) For a twist I used a brand new Martha Stewart border punch that I purchased off of HSN to add the daily cuts to the pockets.

Picture Frame from an old CD

I created this sweet picture frame to be given with some baby gifts for a little girl.
I used an old CD I got from Disney and cut out scrapbook paper from Colorbok (Wal-mart) and glue sticked it to the front and back.

I created an easel in the back so it can stand up, if you watch the video you can see how I created this.

Thanks for stopping by!

4 x 6 acrylic cover mini album

Created this mini after reading a post on fb.

I cut clear packaging that had a nice thick acrylic cover and base so I'll be able to make a few minis out of it. This was cut at 4 x 6".
The cover card stock is textured from ColorBok, the inside pages is from My Minds Eye which I cut at 4 x 12 then scored at 6, glue stick together to make thick pages.
There are a total of 6 (12 sides) pages to this mini.
I used the Martha Stewart border punch and Sizzix butterfly, heart and leaf dies.
I made the stick pin that is pinned to the lace to the Cinch binding.

Mother's Day LO

This pic was taken Mother's Day 2011 in front of our home, we had went to Village Haven as we do every year for my MILs gathering and then to her home for desserts.

Since our winter was so long - the blossoms had not bloomed fully yet as they normally would have in front of our home.

I am following the sketch from Sketchy Thursday and a request of AllSorts for paper piecing, and the color scheme at Colour Create Challenge #87 of Red, Cream and Sage Green

I used Colorbok pattern paper and Sizzix Large Doily die (having a problem cutting and releasing all the tiny pieces in the doily but it suited my needs here). The mat for the picture, I distressed using my scissors, and inked the doily and journaling spot.

Christmas Eve

I love this layout sketch from Pagemaps (see below)! I am not usually a fan one one pic on a page - being frugal and all, but this is the only Christmas pic I got as a group shot so it fit it perfect as an entry into Wacky Wednesday More Than Favors using the layout and for Daring Cardmakers for the color scheme

Included in the picture is of my kids (3), my brother's (3) and our younger sister's kids (3) from Christmas Eve!
To complete the layout I used Colorbok papers and letters, Sizzix flourish dies and Stampin' Up buttons. The feather and lace is from my stash.
