Summer Card

Here is a summer card I made today. I didn't intend for it to be red, white, and blue, but it ended up that way and looks kinda neat! The flip flop stamp is from dollar spot at Target--a purchase from last summer. I used a Quick Kutz embossing folder for the white background. Sorry the photo is a little out of focus. : ) Enjoy your day!

"Cherish what makes you unique."

I did this scrapbook layout for my son's book. I love that quote: Cherish what makes you unique. It really applies to him! He makes me laugh everyday and truly has a personality all his own. : ) The patterned paper on the layout is from The Paper Studio; the word "You" is cut with my cricut using the Graphically Speaking cartridge. I printed the quote on my computer. Enjoy!

Scout Flag Layout

I am working on my oldest son's Boy Scout scrapbook this week. Here is a layout of a flag retirement ceremony. I like the way it turned out. It's pretty simple, but the pictures show how respectful the boys were during the ceremony. Paper is from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby); lettering cut with sizzix, and flag sticker is from K and Company. Thanks for looking! : )

Flower pot card

I made this flower pot card following the link on " Tutorial Tuesday" on the card of the week website...see the link on the right side of my blog. I love finding a card that I can adapt using stamps and paper I have. : ) I decided to go with a red, white, and blue theme. The insert says, "just thinking of you."

Trying a new photo!

I tried something new today--I took a photo of my scrapbook page using the built in camera on my computer. How easy is this! Ha! Then I edited the photo and realized the words are backwards! LOL! So, I used the "flip" feature to make it readable. I find it hard to get good pictures of my scrapbook pages with a camera...so thought I'd give this a try. : ) I used Fancy Pants paper for this layout and my new Graphically Speaking cricut cartridge; added the journaling with stamps. Added a little glitter, too, but it's hard to see in the photos.

Black and white card

Hello! Here is a card I made using a Sizzix texture/embossing folder. I also made the crochet flower and added a little bling to the center to give it some sparkle. "Just for You" stamp is from Hero Arts and the little tag is made from vellum, but it's hard to tell in the photo. Enjoy!

Explosion Box Scrapbook

Here is my version of the explosion box scrapbook. There are several tutorials out on the web for this project. I used the directions found here. I left some pages empty for future photos. I used My Mind's Eye paper. This was fun and easy to make. It would make a great gift.
