I posted a card challenge on Scrapping the Moments. K.I.S.S. - Keeping it Simple Sister. Since the Post Office is getting pickier about the thickness of cards, I thought we’d try to do some very flat cards. Doesn’t mean you can’t have layers, but keep them as flat as possible. In other-words, no buttons, chipboard, thick ribbon knots, etc. Please come join us!

I've started a new stamping challenge at Scrapping the Moments.

January's challenge is to stamp a border. I stamped on the journaling piece, keeping it subtle so it doesn't overpower the journaling.

This is Jim's Dad's family.

Thank you for stopping by.

Butterfly fairy princess reveal

2011-09-27T09:06:00.002-04:00

Here's Katie in her butterfly fairy princess costume at the birthday party with her BFF's.

Butterfly fairy princess

2011-09-23T14:48:00.003-04:00

Do you know what a butterfly fairy princess looks like? What she wears? How she wears her hair?

Katie decided she wanted to dress as a butterfly fairy princess for the birthday party tomorrow afternoon. The kids decided to go in costume.

Katie asked me if I'd make her a dress. Since I had no idea what a butterfly fairy princess wears, I had Katie draw me a picture. This took place on Monday and the drawing was pretty elaborate. I tried to think of a way to make this simpler.

I still had Melissia's dress from when she was a Maid-of-Honor for her cousins wedding. I am using the skirt. Check back later for a picture of the finished dress. Then you'll know what a butterfly fairy princess wears.

Here's the last layout from Jim's nephew's wedding Y& reception. I did this one for the color challenge at ScrapTastic, plus had to use flowers and bling - not a hard thing to do, especially on a wedding layout.

Pixie Hollow

2011-07-27T16:46:00.005-04:00

I've been busy with painting Katie's bedroom. It all started when she got some Tinkerbell sheets from Melissia for Christmas. Got me to thinking that we should design her room around the fairies. After talking it over with Katie and making sure she wouldn't want something else in a few months we decided to go for it. She and I each drew (without looking) what we thought Pixie Hollow would look like. I was really surprised how much our drawings were alike. I took some things from both our drawings and a little bit from some books and designed her room. The fairies are wall decals. I still need to find curtains - she wants fairies, of course!

1944

2011-06-26T17:35:00.003-04:00

Easter

2011-05-12T14:39:00.001-04:00

I've really slacked off on my blogging - sorry about that. I've had some trouble with my eyes - got gel and drops for the dryness from the eye Dr. Several creams and prescriptions from the dermatologist - just hope this all clears up.

Here's a project Katie helped me with - her Easter dress. She chose the pattern and fabric. Plus she sewed the hem in the petticoat herself - I think she's going to be very crafty!

She was to busy with the egg hunt to pose for any pictures.

It turned out adorable, don't you think?

Queen of Hearts Crop

2011-02-24T16:04:00.012-05:00

This past week-end I participated in the Queen of Hearts crop over at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking.

There were 8 fun challenges and because of the offer by my awesome DH to take Katie to the birthday party of one of her friends on Saturday I was able to complete them all. There were also several games and impromptu challenges. If you missed this one, come on over to the board and check out the monthly challenges. That way you'll be around for the next crop.

This picture still makes me laugh.

1} This was a menu challenge.
My menu:
Appetizer - Butter Poached Lobster Salad - die-cut paper
Side Dish - Steamed Spinach - 1 photo
Main Course - Beef Wellington - embellies my choice
Dessert - Molten Mocha Cake - pink
Beverage - Shirley Temple - journaling strips
Mandatory Item: Hershey Kiss - heart

2} We were to do some type of paper folding - I made the paper flower, hadn't done this type before and it was easy and fun. Papers are by Dream Street.

Pictures are of Katie opening her gifts after her birthday party - the favorite was her first Webkinz, a black kitten she named Ava and loves to this day. Ava sleeps with her and often goes on adventures with us.

3} For this challenge we were to use "love" in the title or journaling. This picture is of DH's nephew and his bride. The papers are by Cosmo Cricket.

4}More wedding pictures - we were to use a love song for the title or journaling.

5}We needed to find something in our stash we didn't like and alter it to work for our layout. I had the Stampin Up! silver star brad I wanted to use, but it was to shiny for this distressed layout - so I rubbed it into the Staz-On Timber Brown ink pad.

Pictures are of us feeding the donkeys in Custer State Park, South Dakota.

6} Another hand made paper embellishment, the heart flower. After a couple failed attempts, I really like how this one turned out. Great way to use up some of those odd scraps of pp. Papers are Basic Grey.

7} We were to use a playing card or card element on our layout. I chose a heart, since I was trying to get these wedding pictures scrapped.

8} Scrapping someone or something that has stolen my heart was an easy challenge in some ways, my family means a lot to me and I have a ton of pictures - the hardest part was deciding which pictures to scrap. These pictures are of Katie and me at Disney in 2007. Papers are 3 Bugs in a Rug.

To top it off I won two of the impromptu challenges and one of the games. But, the best surprise was getting the "Queen of the Crop" charm, who doesn't want to be Queen? I've already spent my gift certificate on some items from the Pre-order section. Thank you to Lauri and the fabulous Design Team for putting together this fabulous crop.

Now I need to get back to scrapping so I can use up some of my stash before this next order comes in.

Thank you for stopping by.

Candy Shoppe Designs is the December sponsor over on the XOXO Girls blog! If you are not familiar with their site, they are a scraplift blog! They have a large design team with an enormous range of scrapbooking styles to choose from. I think everyone get's scrappers block from time to time and scraplifting is a wonderful way to jump start your creating.

What exactly does scraplift mean?

I won several prizes at Sketchy Thursday.

How about these adorable stitched felt embellies? They are made by Amanda and found in another Etsy shop Crafty Paper Girl.

Don't you just love the texture of the canvas journey notes and felt/fabric flower set? I will be adding these to layouts very soon. These are from Jessi's Southern Lens Etsy shop.

I received these beautiful Berry Watercolor Notecards from Angela Fehr. They are almost to pretty to use, maybe I'll admire them for a while, then use them. :)

The mixed media flowers and map flowers are from an Etsy shop called Design by Diana. Those map flowers are perfect with some travel pictures I have laying here - LOVE them. With a very girly DGD to scrap for I won't have any trouble using those purple flowers.

The School Rules embellishment kit is from another Etsy shop Green Horned Unicorn. I love the collection of layered primary colored flowers and buttons and the beautiful trims. These will go perfectly with some school pictures I have yet to scrap.

I am so lucky to have received these awesome prizes - check out their shops for more fabulous embellies for your scrapbook and card needs.

Lola

2010-10-02T12:31:00.003-04:00

When you think of the colors brown, burgundy and orange you generally think of fall pictures. But, living in Florida, I don't have many fall pictures. I could go dig out some older ones to scrap, but um.....that means I'd have to get up and spend time looking for them. LOL Instead I decided to do the color challenge at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking with pictures of DD's cat (we were cat sitting) when she fell in the pool and I was drying her off.

BG Archaic pp and chipboard anchor
Chatterbox date card
Glitz rub-on journaling piece

Hop you are having a fabulous day.

Autumn ...

2010-10-02T07:47:00.004-04:00

I think the quote on this card says it all for Autumn. There is something about the rich colors of fall - rust, orange, brown, deep reds. We don't get a real feel of fall here in Florida, so I enjoy using these colors when I make my fall and Thanksgiving cards.

This card was made for the "All Year Cheer" card challenge at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking, we were to use vellum on our card. I don't remember where I got this vellum quote, but I was happy for this challenge to push me to use it. The papers are Scenic Route - just have small scraps left as they are so pretty. The felt leaf is Queen & Company.

Happy fall ya' all.
