Hello, Sunshine!

We are definitely saying Hello, Sunshine here in Arizona. It has been HOT HOT HOT this week. Lots of sunshine and temperatures in the 90's. Whether or not you are seeing sunshine in your neck of the woods right now, you should go check out the April Scrapbook Circle kit Hello, Sunshine! It will bring lots of bright, happiness to your scrapping. Check out all the sunshiney goodness:
We are talking Crate Paper (from the Neighborhood collection) Bella Blvd and BoBunny papers. And lots of happy goodies. This kit is FUN! I adore the color combination and the mix of playful embellishments. Here is one layout I made with it:
The kit comes with the entire chipboard sheet from Crate Paper and there are so many cute shapes on there. I used several on this layout, but there were lots more:
The only thing I added which was not in the kit is the foam American Crafts Thickers, but the cute mini alphas by Cosmo Cricket are part of the kit:
Isn't that little bee the cutest? I have a sneaking suspicion these kits are going to go fast, fast, fast, so go scoop one up at Scrapbook Circle and enjoy some sunshine!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

For my U.S. friends, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend with family and friends! We are still hibernating because it promises to be in the 115's all weekend. Which means pool in the morning and late night and movies and indoor play. That's ok, I guess, just being together for 3 days with no school and early mornings makes it worth it.

So I promised to return with my Scrap Tiffany reveal for the vintage challenge. I dug into my stash of October Afternoon Thrift Shop for this layout about my Grandma:
I cut apart a K&CO lace frame to go around the "vintage" mini book page. And the butterfly is by Jenni Bowlin.
The blue flower is by Maya Road and I think may be the last one I have in that color--I've used them here and there on several pages. I am not usually one for distressing too much, but I felt this layout called for it. So I used an edge distresser to rough up the edges of the vintage patterned paper background. But since I don't do it very often I guess I distressed with a little too much gusto and ripped a several inch tear into the background! My mouth dropped open, I said "ooops!!" and then decided I was goingt o use a large damask matte for the photos anyway, so problem solved! I don't let myself get too hung up on those kinds of accidents--this is supposed to be fun after all lol! 


While I had the October Afternoon out, I came up with another layout rather than use the yellow patterned paper leftovers for a card:
Lots of stitching, another Jenni Bowlin butterfly and...
those October Afternoon journaling cards and mini alphas are the finishing touches.
And to be fair (because when you have two children everything must be EXACTLY even, or at least that's what they keep reminding me) here is a layout of my little guy with his cheesy grin:

Have a great weekend!

Finally Friday!

I keep meaning to post mid week, but this all day kindergarten thing is kicking my butt! At least it is friday and tonight, the little guy's school is having a parent's night out, which both kids can attend. So Scott and I are going out for Thai food...mmmm. We are officially celebraing our 7th anniversary, which came and went last weekend without either of us noticing lol!

Anyways, the latest ScrapTiffany challenge was HYBRID! I guess I could've done a layout with computer journaling and called it a day, but I really wanted to try printing out a Hero Art's digital image and color it. So that is what I did. I also printed the greeting directly on the card. I learned how easy all this is from the amazing Jennifer McGuire. You can see her blog post about using digi images HERE and about printing on a card HERE. It was SO easy, I'll definitely be thinking about designing some card sets for gifts in the future.

Hmmm, what else have I been up to? Some guest design work I can't share yet has been keeping me busy. And I've done a few challenges for ScrapGal, Dixie Pieces and 3 Scrappy Boys...



And speaking of 3 Scrappy Boys...did you know we have an online crop planned for the second weekend in September? There are going to be classes, challenges and of course prizes! So be sure to stop by!!

In other news, it was my turn to blog at the Just Imagine Crafts blog recently. And here is the layout I shared.

The punches I used and more description is at the Just Imagine blog.

Finally, here is one I don't think I've shared yet. More fun times at a zero zepth pool. Sigh, wish it weren't too hot to even go in the pool lol! 
Well, hope you all have a very happy weekend.

Fried Friday

It has been one long, hot week. My girl started her first week of Kindergarten and I must say, all you parents of school age kids are rock stars. It has been so exhausting getting everyone up and dressed early, dropping her off, dropping the little guy off and then picking everyone up again. She already has homework too. Add to that packing lunches and some sleepless nights (due to worrying) and we are all wiped. But she sure looked cute on that first day.

The little guy actually had his first day of preschool a couple of weeks ago, so that I could deal with one transition at a time. Here is a photo of him in front of his cubbie:


We did have one last hurrah before everyone started school. We got up early and went over to the splash pad at the mall before anyone else arrived.


Anyway, Friday is the reveal for the ScrapTiffany challenge and this week was a fun one: Bare Chipboard. The great thing about Tiffany's challenges is that she leaves them up to the designers' interpretation. To some that meant covering bare chipboard, to others it meant using it bare on a layout. A friend I met at 3 Scrappy Boys-- Kim, is a genius with bare chipboard. Me? Not so much. But after much debating and trial and error, I came up with a happy medium. I spritzed my chipboard and my Kraft background with just a bit of Maya Mist. Then I sewed on the chipboard. You can still see some of the original color of the chipboard and I think I will be doing this again soon.
 
Go on over to ScrapTiffany to see the many different takes on the bare chipboard challenge.

I had a little time to play last night while the rest of the family was out running some errands. Since I was dog tired and just wanted to be on auto pilot I wanted to use a sketch. So I used a Pagemaps sketch and came up with this layout:


Funny how the Studio Calico and Echo Park actually works together so well!
And I realized there are a few layouts I haven't shared here yet...
Some American Crafts, Coredinations and Ek Success border punches:

A sketch from Studio Calico and lots of Sassafras (couple of Elle's Studio goodies too).


Bo Bunny summer fun:


And a few of the Moxxie layouts that were at CHA in Chicago:

Moxxie is working on getting all the CHA projects up on their blog and when they do I'll be showing more here and doing a little Moxxie giveaway, so stay tuned!
And, I will be blogging over at Just Imagine Crafts tomorrow, so come on over and say HI!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Bo Bunny, ScrapTiffany, Cards etc...

Bo Bunny has a fun card sketch on their blog this week. Here is the sketch:

I made two cards based on this sketch. For this one I used Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock, ribbon and patterned papers (and some American Crafts Thickers for the greeting).
And this one has more Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock and Ribbon (love the stuff), patterned paper and cute chipboard sticker (I love how it is already decorated with bling!) and some Making Memories mini alphas.
There are still a few days to post cards for this challenge if you love Bo Bunny and want to give it a whirl.


In other news, the second half of the Scrap Tiffany reveal was posted on Friday. This week's challenge was to use brads and eyelets. I don't know about you, but I have several containers of brads and eyelets that I can't bring myself to get rid of and yet I never seem to use. So, this was a good excuse to pull them out.
I went with a bubble layout and used the brads to mimic the bubbles and the dots in the American Crafts patterned paper.
Go on over to Scrap Tiffany to check out the other designers takes on this fun challenge.

And... I have this card on the Cards blog.
I love Echo Park's pinwheels. :) Speaking of Echo Park...I received my Life is Good collection prize in the mail and can't wait to play!!

Wow, there are more cards than layout in this post! I think that is a first for me :)

Well, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We had a fun day with friends yesterday, so today is our mellow out at home day. Happy Sunday :)

Always on the weekend...

If one of us is going to get sick, I can guarantee you it will happen on the weekend. Last weekend it was Little Man, this weekend it is me. Seriously, a fever? I can't remember the last time I had a fever. When my head wasn't swimming I was working on some new layouts to send into the Bo Bunny Design team call. The call specified one layout, one card and one other item. I usually make more then the call requires so I can choose what to send in. These didn't make the cut, but I do really like them so I thought I would share here:
