2009-11-26T09:25:00.001-08:00

Here are 2 recent layouts I made using my Stamp BOX stamps.
I love the stamps because they are so versatile that they could really be used on any project..layout, card, mini album, altered item, etc

Recent layouts

2009-11-26T09:15:00.000-08:00

Here are just a few of the layouts that I managed to work on while away at the scrapbooking crop in Saskatoon last weekend.
I also took a fun "360 degrees" class with Vicki Boutin, did a candle make n take, made 2 cards to donate, along with a few more layouts, and I have everything put together for my December daily album.

Introducing..Aries Grae

2009-11-23T12:57:00.000-08:00

After looking at many different dogs and puppies, we fell in love with a 7 week old purebred St Bernard, that we named Aries Grae.
She is already 25 pounds, hasnt barked yet, likes other animals and kids, and is VERY lazy,and docile.
She has been a welcome addition to our family.
Memphis isnt too sure about this big beast just yet, so the 2 of them spend a lot of time walking in circles, smelling each other. It is cute though because Memphis is acting like a jealous big sister..when Aries gets attention, then Memphis gets right in there for some attention too.
Si loves the new puppy, and is already calling himself the big brother to the dogs..hee hee

November kit at Crazy daisy kits

2009-11-12T18:36:00.001-08:00

The kits this month at Crazy Daisy are to die for:)
You have several different options for kits this month..
1)The standard main kit
2)The add on with a kick kit
3) The paper kit
I had the standard main kit to work with, and even with creating 5 layouts and a mini album, I still have quite a bit of supplies leftover.
This layout I made using the November kit is titled "hello my name is"
I did a lot of fussy cutting with the patterned paper flowers.
To see what the other members of the design team have created using these kits, or to order your kit go to www.crazydaisykits.com/blog/

Upcoming fall crop

2009-10-22T07:13:00.000-07:00

To see the full blog post, check out Leica's blog at http://10-4livingoutloud.typepad.com/leica_forrest/

Here is part of her post(Can you tell I am super excited)
So this year's theme is Mexican Fiesta. So our decorations around the event will have a Mexican theme, perfect for photo ops, the food will of course be yummy! So you are welcome to decorate in this theme or any theme. Whatever you would like. You know I will give you a little warning, the game is on. There is some stiff competition to throw the domestic housewives off their winning streak... so are you and your gang gonna try??? I dare you. It's all fun and games. Of course there will be prizes! Don't ya love prizes? We have no seating arrangement, instead we are going to set up "groups of tables" according to size of groups people gave us. It seemed to work well last year.

Times:
Friday 6pm-midnight
Saturday 9am-midnight
Again we will open the doors right on time, you will be able to leave all stuff in the gym overnight under locked doors.

We have a huge goal that we have been working towards with the support of so many. We want EVERY child in the hospital at Christmas to receive a ready made scrapbook album. We are going to give them albums that are made with so much love & kindness. All they have to do is add their own photos & journaling. We are also going to throw in stickers and fun stuff as well. If you would love to help in this adventure, we are looking for 8x8 or 6x6 pages, or new/gently used 8x8 albums. They can be very generic or themed if you like. Any amount is welcome. We are looking for smiles all around.

Now down to the goodness...

will there be prizes??? of course!!!!! And this year since we are raising money for the children albums, we thought why not have a mini album theme??? Sounds like fun hey? So here's how it goes,

Mini Album Contest- share with us your favourite mini album, we will put them on display for people to peruse.We welcome any creativity, any style.

Layout contest- bring a colour photocopy of your favourite layout to share. We LOVE to see your work. It's fabulous and sooo inspiring.

Card Contest- we thought that we would make children's get well cards this time. They will be given to the recipients of our albums, and any extras will be given to the hospital to give the children as they see fit. (THESE CARDS WILL NOT BE RETURNED)

And once again we will have fun fun fun prizes to purchase raffle tickets for. We've been gathering some fun amazing things. And the best suggestion I was given is instead of having the huge prizes as last year, have more prizes for more chances to win. So of course we aim to please. With having the subtle theme of mini albums, I gathered as many unique albums as I could find and made awesome kits with the latest greatest releases. Can't wait to see your thoughts. And we have amazing sponsors as well this year. super cool!

This year we have a guest coming from Manitoba to do the Make n Takes. So let's welcome Trace Geworsky. And this fabulous girl has ideas. I am really excited for her to present.

There is more to come, sponsors to talk about,and a major fun thing. I will update when life here resumes to normal. But I just wanted to keep you guys in touch. From now on, I will have a link to this post so that I will just keep adding new stuff to this one. Then it makes it easy to find. sounds good?

This is probably the biggest crop that I will have ever attended.
Vicki Boutin & Leica are both teaching classes.
It's going to be a long road trip, but making it with 2 very awesome friends, will make the ride so much more fun!!!!
p.s. Let's just say that my make n take will involve stamps from my Stamp BOX...That's all I will say at this point:)

Over at the Scrap Tiffany blog http://www.scraptiffany.com/blog_tiffany/

New years 08-09

2009-09-18T06:13:00.000-07:00

Using the September kit at www.crazydaisykits.com I made a layout about the very low key New Years that I spent with ds. I loved the owl that was on the cute little card included in the kit, so I cut the owl out to use it on the layout. I stapled each wing(just for looks) and adhered to my page using a pop dot.

Another layout

genius batman

2009-09-11T08:57:00.000-07:00

I just finished working with the September kit from www.crazydaisykits.com and it was pretty cool to work with..I especially LOVE the included mini album(I am not done this one yet as it will be a work in progress while ds is in Grade one) but I did complete 8 layouts.
This one is titled "genius batman" and my goal with this layout was to use up alot of the extra patterned paper scraps leftover from the kit, so I created a lot of layering.

OH WOW

2009-09-09T06:10:00.001-07:00

2009-09-08T12:18:00.000-07:00

(I forgot to post this yesterday)

But my first challenge to work on for September as the GDT at Scrap Tiffany was to scrap about my home.

It's so easy to forget to document these small details, but what a great memory to pass down from generation to generation.

I used glimmer mist, my Stamp BOX stamps, and had a LOT of fun with this page.

Have fun!!!!! For my layout titled "no longer a family of three" I wanted to add some brief journaling about what it feels like to see pictures of the 3 of us together, knowing that it wont happen again...I find scrapbooking to be very theuraputic, so I tend to also scrap a lot of very personal and tough subjects.
I used 3 alpha stamp sets:
Letterboxes
Splash me a little!
lots of dots

I love the look of mixing up my alpha sets, because it's a more affordable and versatile alternative to using letter stickers on every layout.

Layout titled "road trip"
I mixed the same 3 alpha stamp sets again, but this time I stamped the word 'trip' onto white paper, trimmed each letter out, and adhered onto the patterned paper.

another favourite

2009-08-14T05:25:00.000-07:00

This would be my favourite layout I made using the August kit from www.scrapbookkitclub.com The tree is even better irl..Amber made it herself,,Isnt it lovely??
I tied a ribbon around the fabric tree, and used a patterned paper circle and a Button to top off the tree.
I rubbed ink over each chipboard figurine and then used a stamp from my Stamp BOX to randomly stamp words all over the figurines.

Chatterbox butterfly album

2009-08-14T05:16:00.000-07:00

Imagine my delight when this funky & original Chatterbox mini album was part of the August kit at www.crazydaisykits.com
I had never seen this one in person before, and being a fan of anything related to butterflies, I was pleasently surprised.
For the bag I took a chipboard butterfly page out of the album to use as a template, and I hand stitched the design onto the bag, finishing off with thickers(numbers) inside the butterfly, and then spray painting the bag. For the cover, I adhered a rubon design over the butterfly design, added some doodling, a sticker for the title, and half of a journaling spot.

I added 1-2 mini prints(pictures) per page, along with minimal journaling and embellishments.

I really liked the colours and designs on the inside pages..every page is a little different.

Because of how the album closes, I kept embellishments to a bare minimum, so that I wouldnt have a hard time closing the album when it was all complete.

I added several stickers, and hand cut designs to the inside pages.

my Stamp BOX layout

2009-08-14T04:56:00.000-07:00

This is the first layout I have made, using the stamp set 'Tree for all seasons' by www.mystampbox.com

I stamped the tree, subtitle and 2 small birds (all using stamps from this fantastic set)

This would have to be my very favourite stamp set from my Stamp BOX because it really is a set I could use for all seasons.

I used Tim Holtz distress ink with the stamps on this layout.

supplies:

cardstock: Bazzill

patterned paper: Fancy Pants

stamps: my Stamp BOX: tree for all seasons

buttons: Sassafras

Journaling tag: Creative Chasos..etsy( Jennifer Stevens)

paint: Making memories

cardstock: Bazzill Kraft

patterned paper: Fancy Pants

ribbon: Websters

rubon: Urban Lily

Tattered Angels mist

flower: Sassafras

journaling spot: Creative Chaos

loving Nikki Sivils, scrapbooker

2009-08-06T21:51:00.000-07:00

After hearing about a new manufacturer..Nikki Sivils, scrapbooker and seeing how adorable her paper is, I was stoked to see her paper, diecuts and brads in the august kit at www.scrapbookkitclub.com
Amber threw in some American Crafts with the Nikki Sivils, and it all complemented each other perfectly!!!
This card is titled "life's a bowl of cherries"
I added a strip of ribbon as the grass
I liked the bingo chips that came with the kit, so I doodled on one and added it to the tummy of the chipboard girl figurine.
To grab your August kit today, go check out the site...All of the other kits and products are available at a killer sale price..so go stock up today:)

1st layout for August

2009-08-06T05:58:00.000-07:00

As promised, here is my first layout using the August kit from www.crazydaisykits.com

Everything on this page was included in the kit.

I worked with a 6x8 picture of ds.

I added some doodling to the buttons, and chipboard, and placed my journaling directly onto the transparency.

Stay tuned..I will post another layout using this kit next week.

Go to www.crazydaisykits.com/blog to see what the rest of the team has been busy creating.

2009-07-31T11:14:00.001-07:00

All about me mini album

2009-07-22T05:24:00.001-07:00

I always find it a little challenging to actually create an entire mini album centered around myself.

But when I saw this Maya Road scalloped chipboard album, I decided to make it about me..things I like, dislike, interests, facts, etc.

Good news Monday

2009-07-20T18:17:00.001-07:00

Some American Crafts loven

2009-07-19T23:13:00.000-07:00

Well after leaving it to the last minute(mainly because I wanted to create fresh designs for the application, and I was so nervous about applying to such an amazing company) I finally pressed send and submitted an application for the American Crafts design team.
Here are 2 cards, 1 layout and a mini album called "a guide to Altona" that I made over the weekend using 100% American Crafts yumminess:)
I wont hold my breath because Im sure there will be hundreds of people applying for this, but I knew that I wouldnt be happy unless I actually tried.
Best luck to everyone who threw their name out there for this!!!!

Crazy Daisy mini album

2009-06-29T12:32:00.001-07:00

My favourite thing about the Crazy Daisy kits is that they have a mini album in each kit.
In the June kit they featured this felt mini album that is exclusive to them. The colours and design on the front inspired me to use a lot of paint and faux stitching on the inside pages.
I used this mini album to be about my family and what I like about them.

You will have seen me talking about London Tierney last week after winning her very creative canvas on her blog, BUT she is also the featured etsy artist for the month of July over at www.scrapbookkitclub.com I got to play with some of her buttons in one of the kits, and I absolutely adore her art!!! The buttons are so funky and trendy...London is definetly another one of my scrap crushes.
My goal is to make her Dt sometime in the future, so I have more "excuses" to play with her creations...he ehee

Shimmerz

2009-06-24T18:00:00.000-07:00

Last week I participated in a blog hop for Shimmerz and their 1st birthday celebration, and one of my scrap "crushes" Jeni Boisvert who happens to be a DT member for them posted an additonal RAK on her blog.
I found out today I won me some delicious Shimmerz products!!! Woohoo!!! I think I could have a lot of fun if I pair it up with my Stamp BOX stamps..Together, I could do some damage:)
Thanks Jeni!!!! and If you want to check out her blog, and trust me you will want to! Her style is incredible.

a few more 'my Stamp BOX' creations

2009-06-24T11:46:00.000-07:00

I feel so lucky to be able to play with my Stamp BOX stamps every month. Not only is Bettina organized and super easy to work with, my fellow dt'ers rock and provide me with inspiration daily, but the stamps are just SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!! "Happy birthday" I used the 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' set for the flowers and title.
For the flowers, i stamped them on cardstock, trimmed the images out and adhered to the card.

"happy 4th birthday" I worked with the 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' set, and adhered 4 stamped birthday cakes to 4 of the patterned paper squares.

"hello to you"

I sed the COLORFUL COMPANIONS set so that I could use pretty much the same design as the happy 4th birthday card, but rather then cakes, I stamped butterflies to make this card ready for any occasion.

"sending all my love"

I worked with 2 stamp sets OVAL OFFICE & SHE SAYS-HE SAYS

Those are 2 stamps sets that I find myself using over and over...I really dont think I will tire of either..EVER:)

"killer dog"

I used 2 different alpha stamps 'SPLASH ME A LITTLE!' & 'LETTERBOXES'

If you have never worked with my Stamp BOX stamps, go pick some up. It is a great little Canadian company..the prices are very very affordable, they are good quality stamps, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

some recent cards

2009-06-24T11:39:00.000-07:00

"Thanks for everything" is the card that I made for my Dad for Fathers Day.
I went with a thanks theme rather then a Fathers day theme because I wanted to thank him for everything he has done that makes him such an amazing father.

"love" I adhered buttons into the shape of a heart, and from there added my title over the buttons.

"Happy Valentines day"

I submitted this to a magazine but had no luck with it, so thought I could show it on here now.

I held a lighter next to old crayon pieces over the acrylic owl(Clear Scraps) to get the pink and purple design on the owl.

a few more recent creations

2009-06-24T11:32:00.000-07:00

"dream" I made the flower by cutting circles out of scrap tissue paper, and adhering them together with a brad. From there I sprayed it with Maya Mist & fluffed out the sides for added dimension.
I also tore the layers apart on the dream napkin, and mod podged one layer to the cardstock, so that you could see the old sheet music I had adhered underneath the napkin.

I have had this frame laying around the house for a year or two, and deiced it was time to finally put some pictures in, and alter it to suit our house/family.

"smile" I added a lot of hand cut elements to the layout.

"determination"

I dry brushed some green paint onto the black cardstock, and then adhered the transparency over the paint, so it would be more noticeable on the layout.

latest projects

2009-06-24T11:19:00.001-07:00

Here are a few of my latest layouts that I created for me(not for DT assignments): "dance like there's no tomorrow"
This was my first time working with the Heidi Swapp invisibles and WOW!! It is so cool!!! Using circular motions I blended in 2 different colours of Tim Holtz distress ink, working my way from the outside of the page, into the center of it.

"lucky" I used a piece of the invisibles paper from Heidi Swapp(which I am now very addicted to) and added 2 different colours of Tim Holtz distress inks. I topped it off with a few strips of patterned paper and fabric.

I made the flowers from small circles I punched out from an old dictionary.

"cupcake delight" I worked with a 6x8 picture, and because I used a busy background paper, and busy patterned papers, I kept the design rather simple.

"colours" I made the flowers using random ribbon strips, and a rainbow using my stask of buttons.

"be you"

My inspiration piece for this layout was a magnet from the VERY talented artist(who happens to be from Winnipeg) Kal Barteski.

I took pictures of myself, my son and dh that Si drew and put them in the order that we are standing in the picture.

Gift certificate

2009-06-24T05:36:00.000-07:00

One of the local photographers is holding a baby contest next month, so with running a daycare from home I decided to donate a free day of childcare to the winner.
I wanted to make the certificate in a way that would reflect my style, so I made the card out of a paper bag, and the actual gift certificate on a tag that I could tuck into the pocket of the bag.
I used stamps from FUNKY FLOWERS, www.mystampbox.com to create the fun design on the cover of the card.

a layout for the weekend

Because I probably wont be updating my blog over the weekend, I thought I should leave you with a new layout I created using the June kit at www.crazydaisykits.com
I used Maya mist to spray onto the cardstock before adding the paper and picture.
I wanted to have a lot of white space on the layout, so I kept the majority of the design on the center of the page, while adding a little something extra:) to the top right hand side.
This layout along with one of Grace Tolman's was featured on the blog today..go check it out.. www.crazydaisykits.com/blog/

9th and final layout

2009-05-29T08:49:00.001-07:00

Working with the May kit at Scrapbook Kit club, this was my favourite layout of the bunch.
The expression of Memphis' face is priceless..she looks so unimpressed:)
I took the backing from the chipboard butterfly, and used it as a stencil to chalk around the edges. This way I was left with pink outlines of a butterfly.
I cut some decorative strips from the Pink Paislee packaging, and curled them to make them look like the butterfly antennae.

Layout #8 "dream more"

2009-05-28T07:57:00.000-07:00

This layout was a lot of fun to work on... I wanted to fit 9 pictures on here, so I put 6 along the bottom of the layout, one in a cloud, and 2 as the sun.
I journaling in one of the clouds
I trimmed scrap paper into long, thin strips, rolled them up and adhered them to the wave design.
I know Ive mentioned this before, but I really love Helmar adhesive because it holds ANYTHING!! Once I applied it to the paper rolls, they stayed in one place.
Thanks for looking.
Check back tomorrow for my last layout using the May kit at www.scrapbookkitclub.com

snow is gone

2009-05-27T05:49:00.000-07:00

Look at little miss Memphis, enjoying the sunshine..well okay, technically she was waiting for me to let her in the house. She likes being outside(if someone is with her) otherwise she waits impatiently to be able to come back inside with us..lol

spoiled

2009-05-27T05:47:00.000-07:00

When Kimmy told me she was sending me a goodie for loving her doe doe birds so much, I didn't think she would spoil me like this...she send me THREE doe doe birds, and a star too!!!! WOW!!!!
Thank you so much Kimmy!!!! You rock!!!!

A new look

2009-05-27T05:46:00.000-07:00

Well for the first time in 30 years, I decided to do something drastic and dye my hair dark.
I like the colours that my friend/hairdresser picked out..I just need to let them grow on me a little bit longer.

Layout #7

2009-05-27T05:42:00.001-07:00

With Mother's Day being this month, I wanted to create a layout about going to the cemetery on Mother's day, where my Mom is buried.
I placed the letter stickers for my title near the top of the page, and using PEBBLES chalk, I chalked around the letters, then removing them, so it looked as though the title was "floating" in the sky, near the clouds.
I used my scalloped square punch so I could use a few different pieces of paper, without it looking too busy.
and look...a Doe doe bird....Isnt it cute??
To purchase a may kit, head to www.scrapbookkitclub.com

Layout #6

2009-05-26T07:55:00.001-07:00

Another layout using the fab May kit from Scrapbook Kit club.
I was glad to find paper that finally worked with these pictures of Si sleeping on the floor.
I added pom pom trim to the bottom of each cloud, and a big brad to the sun.
For my title, I applied letter stickers, and rubbed my ink pad over the letters, then removing the letters, to reveal the look.
Thanks for looking!!

Layout #5

2009-05-25T07:13:00.001-07:00

Layout "ur job"
I think this is the most pictures I have ever used on one layout(a total of 11 pictures)
It took me awhile to figure out how to place all of the pictures on here, but I wanted the batting pictures to be in a sequence, so it was a total play by play.
Thanks for looking.
Check back tomorrow for another layout using the May kit from Scrapbook Kit club.

Layout #4

2009-05-24T18:45:00.000-07:00

"Happy biker 09"
Have i mentioned lately how much I love the may kit from Scrapbook kit club:)
I love it when it takes less then 20 minutes to finish a layout.
i added a few buttons to the design, covered the chipboard butterfly with Zing embossing powder(but didnt set with heat tool)
This is the summer where I am hoping, Si will grab the bull by the horns and have the desire to ride his bike a LOT(and without those silly training wheels)

Layout #3

2009-05-22T07:23:00.000-07:00

Here is the 3rd layout I did, using the May kit from www.scrapbookkitclub.com
I used all Pink Paislee products on this layout titled "lol"
I hand cut 4 butterflies from the patterned paper, folded them at the "body" so the wings appear to be flying, and adhered using pop dots.
Thanks for looking!!

Layout #2

2009-05-21T06:52:00.001-07:00

The second layout using the may kit from www.scrapbookkitclub.com
I wasnt sure what to do with the big flowers on the Pink Paislee paper, so i cut 3 full flowers out, tore and crumpled them, and then after layering them together, I used a brad to attach them at the center.
I chalked around the edges of the cardstock.
Stay tuned for the 3rd layout tomorrow

Layout #1

2009-05-20T07:06:00.000-07:00

Here is my first layout from the May kit at www.scrapbookkitclub.com
I used the negative chipboard piece, with some Pebbles Inc chalk and chalked a design onto the cardstock, while layering a piece of chipboard over it.
I randomly cut strips of patterned paper, and positioned them to form a circular shape.
Also, did you notice the fab doe doe bird on my layout...Kimberly..I love them even more in person!!!!!! You truly are an artist!!!

Have you seen the two new collections from Pebbles Inc?? The first one is called "lil' miss" and features gorgeous colour combos.

The second one is called"lil' buddy" and is geared towards baby and toddler boys. This is the only sneak I have seen of it so far, but it is due to be released this month.

I can't wait to get my hands on both collections! Have I mentioned that I love Pebbles???
