Thank You Hunny Bunny

I could not wait to get my creative little hands on the new Jazmyne line from BoBunny! Purple is my favorite color and this line is PURPLICIOUS! But not only is are the papers purplicious, they are also glittered- I LOVE BLING!

Check out where I hid the journal box

To create the eggs I used my creative memories cutting system on pre-glittered white paper, I then stickled them and then applied Glossy Accents. I think they turned out great, what do you think?

TFL!

I'm a sketchin' machine!!

Not really, but it sure feels like it. I guess I've got alot of pinned up creativity and this week I actually had time to create LO's form the sketches I've bene creating over the past few weeks.  Everything seemed to all fall into place, all of my orders came by Saturday, everything that needed be done around the house was done early, basketball games were on to keep hubby's attention, the girls had play dates...it was the perfect weekend! I can't believe I got 3 LOs done so far! Here's the 3rd.

And here is the LO I created:

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE  the new collections from My Little Shoebox. In this LO I used the Just Add Butter Line. How perfect for these pictures!

TFL!

My 2nd Sketch!!

I think I'm on to something..not only does drawing out my sketch for LO help me put LO's together faster but I didn't consider that other people would enjoy my sketches. Today I did a LO of my DD Ryene on her 10th birthday....Birthday's are always bittersweet for me. I enjoy and feel blessed each time one of my girls reaches that milestone. But I'm always a little sad, I really can't expalin why. This birthday had the same effect. To create my sketches I start with what photo's I plan to use then I go from there. I've also noticed when I start a LO from a sketch it often changes as I'm doing it.  So the actual LO becomes a  variation of the sketch.

And here is the LO I created after drawing out this sketch

Check outt this LO and other @ http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/378861/view/2710393/-1.html

My First Sketch!!!

Sketching scrapbook layouts is new to me but I have found it to be very helpful! When I get an idea and I don't have time to sit down right away and scrap it, I draw a sketch to remind me later when I do have time. This is my 3rd sketch actually but the first two were very specific and Idid't keep them once I scapped the LO. So here it is:

I created the sketch around April 1st and FINALLY had time to sit down and create, here's what came out:

**Spring is HERE!**

This afternoon I got off work, picked the girls up from daycare and came home. We unloaded our bags and headed outdoors to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. It brings a smile to my face to watch them run, ride, and skip up and down the street enjoying these first days of spring. The days where there aren't too many bugs, its not too hot or too cold, it's just starting to stay light out longer, flowers are just blooming and in the distance you can hear other people's children out ripping and running enjoying the fresh air.

Rose Tutorial

To make this rose and the one on my ::Sanders Family:: LO, I used the basic instructions from the CK magazine March/April 2010 issue by Stacy Cohen. So first here are the supplies I used:


A 4 x4 inch sheet of light weight paper (cardstock is too heavy but can be done)
Takcy Glue
A pencil
Scissors
Ink Pad
Stickles to match your paper
Glimmermist

Next you want to cut out roughly a 4x4 inch piece of paper you want to use to make the rose. What's relaly great about this project is you can use scraps
Draw a spiral on it and cut out in a wavy pattern

Once you have the spiral cut out you can ink the edges for definition. You can use just about any brand of ink you'd like.

Starting with the outter end, start rolling the paper around toward the middle

Once you get get close to the end add a big drop of glue on the bottom, I used tacky glue as opposed to glue dots or any tape ahesive, because the glue allows the paper to move. Adhere the rolled part of the flower to the center of the spiral and gently allow the flower to unfold to your liking.

I let the flower set for about 2-3 minutes and I add a couple of spritz of ::glimmer mist::  and line the edges with ::stickles:: (two of my favorite products) I've also thought about adding ::glossy accents:: to immitate dew drops.

To ahere the rose to my LOs I add a large ::glue dots:: to the bottom

Thanks for looking!

My New FAVORITE product

During the scrap retreat I discovered **Glossy Accents** I love, love, LOVE this product. I don't like that I have to wait for it dry but the finished effect is soooo worth the wait. Below you will see where I used this product on the hearts on the My Lucky Charms LO. Pin It

My 1st Scrap ReTREAT!

This past weekend I got the pleasure of attending a scrap retreat in Bedford, PA hosted by Crop Circles. This was my very first experience and it far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until the next one. I did expect however that I woudn't get an enormous amount of scrapping done but I managed to complete 2 double LOs and 2 single LOs. One of them even won 1st place in a LO contest (BIG CHEESE) and I won a complimentary 1 hour long massage at the next crop- whooohooo! So here's what I created:

1st Place WINNER ( rose tutorial coming soon)
 

I've been dying to use this title, being that The Hubbs(my husband Steven) is actually a SSG in the army.

This page took a while, in my mind it seemd like a quick to do, but several hours later...tadah!
