I have a card challenge over at Scrap 'N Chat a new scrapbooking site a friend just started. My challenge is to use punches somewhere on your card. There are so many cute critters made from punches. Or you can use your punches for borders, circles or other shapes. Please come join us.

It's the 15th of February which means new challenges at Scrapping the Moments.

For this month's challenge you need to stamp on alphas/numbers.

You can use any type alphas - stickers, chipboard, die-cut, etc.

Stamps can be anything you choose. I love using my background, small flowers, flourishes, etc.

I chose vinyl Thickers that were brighter than I wanted, so stamped them with brown Staz-on using a wood grain stamp to tone them down a bit and add interest.

Happy Valentines Day!

I've been busy making some Valentines to send to family and shut-ins at our Church. Most are made using up scraps - so it's a little of this and a little of that.

U first

I used the sketch at My Sketch World for this layout. Using mostly Sassafras Lass papers. Fussy cutting the butterflies from some paper by Reminisce. These photos were taken at Gatorland.

I've used this image before - love it for all the guys in our life.

This sketch is from My Sketch World. They are having a 6th Anniversary sketch-a-thon. Check it out!

Stamps are Stampin Up! and papers are misc. scraps.

Thank's Snow Much

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!

Christmas '65

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.

2011

This layout was done for the double page sketch layout at Scrapping the Moments. I used the left side with the pocket for our annual letter. This was our Christmas card. We love looking through this book and seeing our family change over the years.

Thank you for stopping by.

Digging awaits

I'm making a book of photos from the process of building our house. These photos are of the back of the house area for the pool deck. Papers are by Little Yellow Bicycle.

I made this layout for the January color challenge at Scrapping the Moments.

Thank you for stopping by.

Looking to join a DT

...Then check this out:

I am having an open call for 2 people to join our DT @ Scrapping the Moments.
We are a small, friendly, scrap booking/paper crafting community.

I am looking for someone to head up the weekly photography challenge.
You do not need to be a professional photographer to do this.
But I would like someone who is excited about taking photos & know their way around their camera.
You would have to come up with a weekly idea of what we should photograph.
You can see what we have been doing here http://www.scrappingthemoments.com/index.php?topic=2267.0
If you are interested please send some of your photos, ideas you might have for the challenges, a little about yourself,
and if you have a blog please send me a link to it, to pat@scrappingthemoments.com By February 4,2012
If you can't post on the members board or gallery please do not apply.
I am only looking for people who can participate & show interest in our community.

The 2nd position will be doing an ATC challenge. We have just started doing these & there is a lot
of interest in these ATCs by our members. Only apply if you can commit to doing a monthly challenge
and to participate on the message board & gallery. If interested please send me some samples of your
work,especially ATCs you have done & if you have a blog or gallery send a link to that also.
You can send this info to pat@scrappingthemoments.com by February 4,2012.

There is no compensation at this time for our DT members. But there is joy from sharing our talents with others.
