Seasons of Change

Two of my favorite things...

Webster's Pages & sketches! ;0)

If you haven't checked out Webster's Pages you must, I'm in love with their papers and Terri Conrad (who designs the papers) has an amazing site full of inspiration!

Here'a a page I created using Webster's Pages, my Cricut (the butterflies), and stickles.

And fav number two, sketches. ;0) Here's my card using this week's CPS sketch and guess what?? Webster's Pages, Inque Boutique stamps, Prima felt, and Kaiser pearls.

And this weeks 2sketches4you card. Kazan and Laura come up with some great sketches and they have their first DT reveal this week, fun! I used KI papers, a Hambly transparency ect...

And I decided to make a matching gift bag loosely based on the same sketch.

Thanks for stopping by! :0)

Summer garden walk and a project...

My son & I went for a walk with the camera and took photos of a few of the flowers. About 5 years ago I planted about 200 varities of daylilies so it's cool to see them spread. Hope evryone is having a great weekend. :0)

Waterlily in the water garden.

A heirloom poppy 

Wave petunias

Hydrangea

And a project I made today using SEI goodies. I made the purse with my Cricut and used wire to make the handle. tfl :0)

Embellish it..

and a few things from the past. I'm always forgetting to post things that have already been in print so will today. :)

Two layouts that were in Scrapbook Trends "Embellish it".

This one was about my son getting his glasses, I used lots of alphabets and stitching.

This layout was featured in the rub-on section, I added rub-ons to the chipboard for a unique look.

And finally an old frame I "recycled" by painting with crackle paint. I also painted the mat and then stamped with paint onto transparencies, cut out, and layered. It was in Scrapbook & Cards Today, check them out you can see all their issues on-line and in print.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Some new things...

including a new blog banner. ;0) I decided I needed a new one and made this one using Sasafrass Lass goodies, my Cricut, and handcutting and piecing. It was actually kind of fun!

Here's some cards, this week's 2sketches4you sketch card. Another fun sketch from Laura. I used all Melissa Frances and added some Stickles.

This week's CPS card using Rubbernecker stamps for the background and sentiment. Added some Queen & Company felt.

Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by!

It's the weekend :0)

I always love checking the mail and getting projects back. This week Paper Crafts sent my August/September issue and projects back. What an awesome issue full of color and ideas! Here's one of my projects. I used alcohol inks to color the cardstock, vellum butterflies, and ribbon. :0)

Check out the Queen & Company blog, Nic posted a quick tutorial I did on how to make your own unqiue flower centers with big brads. :)

And lastly a quick little card I did using a sketch the sweet Melissa Phillips posted. I used Queen & Co. mini-felt, Hambly transparency ect..

Have a great weekend!

A happy Monday...

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know we did. :) My lucky husband has this whole week off even, however I'm not so lucky so it's back to work tomorrow.

Here's some new creations. I recycled a strawberry container, some bottles, and a tea tin to make a gift basket. I shredded and curled leftover papers to add to the basket and painted the strawberry container with crackle paint. All papers are Webster's Pages.

 

My CPS sketch card for the week, using Just Rite stamps. Check it out they're giving a set away and they're awesome!!

My 2sketches4you card for this week. I used Collage Press papers,a transparency Prima flower centers ect.. I traced the flower on the transparency with black ink to make it stand out. tfl :0)

Have a great week!

Some more goodies to share, hope everyone is having a great week! :0)

A layout featuring the new Queen & Company mini-felt.. fun stuff! My sons saying when anyone asks him how old he is? "I'm not old, I'm five years young". ;)

A project from my guest designer spot at Emma's Paperie, I used a 6" tea tin, Creative Imaginations chipboard ect.. the directions are on Emma's blog.

Another Queen & Co. layout for CHA featuring the snowflake mini-felt. I added glitter ect.. 

A gable box that I stamped. I used a backgrounder and Kim Hughes, Baked with Love set all from Cornish Heritage Farms.

A piece of cake...

I've debated for quite some time on buying a Cricut Expression, well I finally did and here are some creations from the weekend. ;0)

I used my Webster's Pages paper, vintage lace, Inque Boutique stamps (butterflies & sentiment), and my Cricut to cut the box and tag.

Yes, I'm out of season but I cut this cool tree box that I made into an ornament too. The stamps are Inque Boutique.. I added Stickles. The tag is cut with the Cricut as well.

 A matching card:

And a layout I posted on The Pursuit of CraftYness blog about adding texture and dimension.

Adding my take on the 2sketches4you sketch this week, love Laura's sketch with the scallops. ;0) October Afternoon papers, Inque Boutique stamps and chipboard scallop.

Monday sunshine..

We finally had a nice day full of sunshine. DS & I went swimming and to the park. Spending time with him always makes me happy. :0) Hope you had a great weekend and have fun plans for the upcoming holiday weekend! Here's my CPS sketch card for the week, using Rubbernecker stamps for all images and Sasafrass Lass papers. And a card I whipped up for the 2Sketches4you sketch Laura posted(I flipped it), fun stuff! I made my own gift card holder using my Scor-Pal. I scored the card every 3" and folded. For the inside fold I adhered the edges together, cut out a notch and slit an opening for the card. :0) More Sassafrass papers, Maya Road butterflies, vinatage lace and trims. And lastly a layout I did using my Inque Boutique goodies. I used their new papers and ribbon (Memoirs), felt, and chipboard. I stamped "Diva" and .the flowers. tfl :0)

Have a great week!
