Scrap-Tastic

I have another layout to share with you using the July Scrap-Tastic kit. I used a photo of my DD and her hubby on their wedding day.
I really like how this turned out. I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers. If you enjoy sketches I would check them out for sure.

Scrap-Tastic and Sketchy Thursdays

I really liked the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays so I thought I would give it a whirl using the July kit from Scrap-Tastic. The kit isn't up in the store yet but as soon as it is I will link it up for you. It's full of some great papers from MME and some yummy papers from Chatterbox.

I pulled out some old photos of my daughter of when she was a flower girl for my brother Michael and my sister-in-law Debbie. Amy was just too cute!!

And here is what I did with my MYSTERY BOX…

This is how it started out as a plain naked box.



Here it is all decorated. I used the Symbols set to stamp those little "gifts" around all the sides of the box. I stamped them with Versamark and embossed them with black embossing powder.


I used the oval shape from the Back to the Basics set to make the leaves for my flower on the top of the box. I also used the Straight Forward set to stamp my sentiment "thinking of you".


And what did I put in my box? Home made chocolate chip cookies!!!


I hope you enjoyed my box creation! I know that I had a ball making it!

Now it’s time to HOP along and find out what the next talented designer has created with their MYSTERY BOX. Your next designer is Birgit.

Happy Anniversary

I love this photo of my parents on their anniversary. I think it was their 40th....I'll have to check with them. With them are my Dad's sister Hedy and brother Art with their spouses.



To make the background I used paint and bubble wrap and a toilet paper roll. Only a fellow scrapper would understand...hahaha!


I love making my own flowers. Aren't these just too cute?


Workout #45 at ScrapFIt was to use items from around the house to help aid your scrapbook creativity and I think this layout fits the bill...don't you?

Ice Cream anyone?

I made a card today so I could play along with the challenges at CAS-ual Fridays and at Lily Pads.
At CAS-ual Fridays you had to use colour blocking and for Lily Pad you had to use their sketch.

Today is my day to post over at Urban Swank.

A couple times a year I go to a Scrapbook Retreat in Michigan and they treat us like Queens! The food is to die for and I'm sure that I come home a few pounds heavier. LOL!! In my layout I feature a photo of just one of the appetizers we had.
I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers for the layout design.
