This is my newest grandbaby.  Sweet little Miya. She lives in Okinawa Japan so I haven't met her in person yet.  I stumbled across Paper Craft Crew and found that they have a scrapbook page challenge and was excited to participate.  I used the Razzleberry Splash simply scrappin kit to do her first scrapbook page.  Let's just hope I can keep up with 3 different books now.

I have recently started "blog stalking" Glenda Calkins' blog and found a sketch challenge for

Paper Craft Crew and thought I would play along.  I used Pink Pirouette cs for my base and then a layer of Twitterpated dsp.  The stamp set is from Apothocary Art stamped in Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze and then layerd on Basic Gray cs using the Labels collection Framelits to cut out the gray.  A little Baja Breeze seam binding finishes it off.

I had so much fun playing along with the Red Hot Stampers that I thought I would try my hand at this week's sketch as well.  For this card I used gumball green and whisper white cs along with the Polka Dot dsp.  My stamp sets are Jolly Bingo Bits and Seasonal Sayings.  I have had the Peekaboo Frames BigZ die for some time now but have never used it.  I added a little sliver and real red dazzeling details to both stamped images and some gumball green ribbon.

This is my first attempt using MDS2+ to scrapbook.  It was fun playing with all of the features available now.

Wedding Card

 

My daughter is getting married Oct 5th and she has been bugging me to do some invites for her Rehersal Dinner.  We looked through the catalog and ran across Embellished Events stamp set.  I used versamark to stamp the images and then embossed with melon mambo powder, added a couple of jewels and some melon mambo card stock and she loved them.  That's one more item that can be checked off the list.  I am excited for her, but will be glad when the big day is finally here.

Sept Team Challenge

 

This month for our downline meeting we were given half a sheet of black card stock, a piece of Natural Composition Specialty paper and a button from the Naturals Designer Buttons pack.  We had to come up with a card using these materials.  I cut flowers with the Fun Flowers Bigz die using Raspberry Ripple and Perfect Plum cs.  I then embossed the flowers using the fancy fan folder and the Lacy Brocade folder.  I sponged the edges of the flowers and then added some Perfect Plum 3/8" taffeta ribbon.  I tied some basic black 1/8" taffeta ribbon in my button for my flower center.  The greeting is Itty bitty Banners stamp set stamped in black stazon and then cut with the Bitty banners Framelits.

These two pages were for my May club, but I had to reschedule due to a surprise party my husband and daughter put together behind my back. The party was for our 25th wedding anniversary an boy was I surprised.  Thankfully my scrapbookers understood and willingly rescheduled with me.

These pages we started with Old Olive, stamped the background with Elements of Style ( I orginally used Baroque Motifs and Vintage Vogue but sold them at a garage sale ) with Always Artichoke ink.The dsp is Paisley Petals with Tangering Tango, Bravo Burgundy, Marina Mist and Baja Breeze cs. For the embellisments we used the Beautiful Wings embosslit and Beautiful Butterflies die.

Daddy 12x12 pages

I did these pages for my June scrapbook club.  The base page is Basic Grey.  I used Twitterpated dsp along with Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze. Island Indigo, and Pear Pizzaz.  The stamp sets used are Family Reunion and Best Dad Ever using craft whisper white ink.

Mouthwatering

I did this card for a monthly challenge at my up-line's meeting.  She gave us a quarter sheet of each new in color cardstock along with a strip of ribbon.  We had to use at least one of the colors plus the ribbon and then add items to come up with a card.  At the meeting the following month she puts everyone's name in a hat that participated and then draws one winner who gets all of the cards.

My base is Gumball Green, then Basic Black, a layer of Primrose Peteals embossed with the perfect polka dots folder (my favorite).  The last layer is Whisper White stamped using the Mouthwatering stamp set.  I colored the stamp with my markers and then stamped on the white.  Since the seeds were still white, I colored them with my black marker.  After stamping I ran the white through the big shot using the Lattice folder.  A little Primrose Petals ribbon finishes this off.

Thanks for stopping by.
