Happy New Year!

Hello Everyone,

     Happy 2013! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and took a lot of pictures. I had a nice Christmas and New Year's. Quiet and low key, just the way I like it. I have finally finished my cruise vacation scrapbook and I'm looking forward to starting some new projects. My first task will be organizing my craft space and then let the creativity begin.

     I was a very lucky girl and received a 12 day trip to Florida from my dad for Christmas. That means I will not be scrapping anything until I come back but I just wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy year!

Yet one more layout

 

This Layout required 3 pages. I really loved the color combonation to go with our poolside photos. Tha papers are from a DCWV paper stack. I really like their papers because it makes coordinating papers and colors so easy. I realize you have probably had about enough of these photos and this project but I appreciate all that check out my blog and really enjoy all comments.

 

 

Vacation Layout

Just about finished with this scrapbook. Several more double page layouts should do it. Can't wait to begin a new project, especially with Fall on it's way.

Another LO created by a sketch

I found a 3 photo sketch at www.Gotsketch.blogspot.com. Their website does not allow you to save the sketch photo to share but I will show you my creation anyway. For those of you who would like to see the sketch you can go to their website, it is sketch 106 under the 3 photo sketch heading on the right hand side of her page



The layout that coordinates with the sketch is on the right hand side with the solid blue paper background.

 

Here's a couple of close-up views of this magnificent paper . The glitter is incredible and the colors are just so vibrant. The papers are from DCWV Tahiti Beach collection. They are not found in a stack. I bought each sheet individually and they work together beautifully.

 

Thanks so much for looking at my page and I appreciate all comments and suggestions.

DCWV August 2012 Challenge

I have been pursuing another crafting experience I enjoy, cake decorating, but I have recently gotten back into my scrapbook room. I have a vacation album I am trying to finish up. I entered the DCWV August Stack-A-Holic Challenge. It was for a 1 page LO, although I tend to do 2 page LO's so I will show you my challenge entry plus the additional page and some close up views.

Here is the sketch, LO and a close up view.I wish you could see the beautiful glitter on these papers.

Here is the 2nd page and the 2 pages side by side. Everything in these layouts came from the DCWV Citrus stack except the twine. I hope you enjoyed viewing these as much I did creating them.

Mother's Day Card

I put this card together in about 2 minutes. Quick and Easy!!

I used a premade card base and added the patterned paper from DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies Mat Stack. Blue ribbon from my stash, MOM letter stickers from Target and a silver flower sticker by Martha Stewart. I wrote my own sentiment that I saw online to make it more personal. My Mom loves homemade cards.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed Mother's Day!!
