I was so in love with these beautiful colors from these papers ...they are wonderful for any kind of photos.... I used them for my boy pages, a picture of my husband and me and then one with my girlfriends by the pool last summer ...loved playing with these papers and embellishments ....

I do alot of clustering in my pages ...these flowers were screaming for me to cut them out and cluster them on a page and then I outlined the flowers also to make them "pop" a little more ...and thn made an envelope for the page!!!

I had fun with this page by cutting out flowers with the Love Games: What Not's and then adding a little blue paint to them ...

Thanks for looking at the pages that I created with this wonderful Glitz paper, stickers, what nots, and peak a boo's ....

Step into Spring Blog Hop

2011-04-20T05:57:00.000-07:00

Hello and Welcome to my blog! Today we are celebrating the beginning of a new season with the Step into Spring Blog Hop brought to you by the Design Team from Memorable Seasons! If you did not start your hop today on the Memorable Seasons blog here , please jump back over there so you do not miss anything. Today we are looking at the word S-P-R-I-N-G and taking you through all the steps for creating a fabulous layout using an exclusive sketch created for this blog hop by Liz Chidester the scrappiest , which was the first step! Then you should have came from Joni's blog here to mine .....

Mine is the letter R ....for "Repurpose" ......something that you would throw away or not normally use for scrapbooking ...like packaging from your scrapbooking supplies, cupcake liners, popcycle sticks, etc.
Here is the sketch if you missed it:

And here is my example up to this point. I used the different packaging and sewed it down to be one of my background pieces ...and then later you will see that I used the backing from the sun Jenni Bowlin Stamp as part of my journaling block ....

Now it's your turn to head on over to Megan's blog here , where she will be giving you the 4th step in S-P-R-I-N-G!

Be sure to leave me a comment telling me what you think about this step. By doing so, you will be one step closer to a fabulous Memorable Seasons prize as well as getting your name entered in for a RAK from me! Also be sure to hop all the way until the end, where you will be taken back to the Memorable Seasons forum, where you will see a complete reveal of all the Design Team's finished layouts!

Have a nice day!

Here are a list of the blogs and in the correct order:

How to make a fast Banner!!!

2011-04-14T12:00:00.000-07:00

From this months kit that Jill sent me I received these two wonderful decorative pieces of paper and wanted to do something different with them so I decided to cut them up and make a banner with them ...so I had my handy engineer husband divided them out for me ...(he tried to tell me how to do it but I just batted my eyes at him and he marked them for me)

So I cut both at the same time and then just trimmed the other piece a little smaller to fit inside the other one and then just punched holes at the top and made this cute little banner that is hanging in my scrap room ....

"Hoppy New Year" Let's Scrap Blog Challenge

2011-01-14T10:30:00.000-08:00

I am Resolution #2 and I thought that I would use February ...the month of love for my theme and then use a Color Challenge on top of that ...I wanted to use the romantic colors from this bedroom for my color challenge ...

Your challenge is to use at least 3 of the colors in this color palette for your page and then use one of the wonderful sketches from Let's Scrap ...here is a link to their sketches 2010 Sketches

You have until February 14th midnight to post your page here on this thread and in the Let's Scrap gallery to win this fun Valentine's prize package:

Here is the page that I completed for this challenge:

Here is the next blog you need to hop tooo .....

Beth

1.You must become a follower of each of the blogs hosting the blog hop.

2.Leave each blog host a little love (comment) so they know you stopped by.

3.When completing the challenges, you must use a Let’s Scrap sketch unless it is otherwise stated in the challenge. You can find the sketches under the Sketches 2009 and Sketches 2010 tabs.

4.You must tag each entry with the correct Resolution # followed by the Let’s Scrap sketch number you used to create it. It’s important that you tag them correctly as we won’t have time to be checking every tag and I don’t want anyone to miss out on a draw. To tag an entry correctly, there must be no space between Resolution and the #. As an example, if I used sketch number LS120 for Resolution #1, my tag would read: Resolution#1, LS120.

5.You cannot combine any of the challenges with any other challenge, with the weekly sketches running from Jan. 12th-Feb.14th or with the Julie Bonner sketch. We are running the Blog Hop for a month so you will have plenty of time to complete all 15 blog hop challenges and Kathy’s special challenges. We are cancelling the regular weekly Design Team challenges for the duration so you won’t have to worry about trying to do them too.

6.I know many of you prefer to do two page layouts. If you do, you can use one side of a sketch for one challenge and the other side of the sketch for another challenge as long as the side you are using has the required elements on it for the challenge you are submitting it for. Make sure to post each side separately and tag them for the challenge they are specifically for.

7.You will get ONE entry for each challenge prize for each single page entered. So if you choose to enter both sides of a two-page sketch for one challenge, you would get two entries for the prize. If you enter 3 single pages for the same challenge, you would get 3 entries for the prize draw etc.

8.If you complete all 15 challenges make sure to leave a comment for me in the Cosmo Cricket Grand Prize discussion in the forum so I make sure your name gets into the draw for the grand prize.

9.All members including the Design Team, Contributing Design Team, Administrators J etc. submitting an entry for a challenge are eligible to win a prize for the blog hop challenges but the DT/CDT’s and Administrators are not eligible for the grand prize from Cosmo Cricket.

10.All challenges must be posted in the photo gallery by 11:59 pm (central time) on Monday Feb. 14, 2011. As the members are in many different time zones we will be going by the clock on the main page for the time.

Kristin:

My friend always makes fun of me because I usually design the page and then go find the picture to go with it ...so these challenges are always good for me because I had the idea for the tree first to use up some sticker letters ( I picked about three different types of fonts) and then just started sticking them on there to form a tree and then added the little flowers ...thanks for looking!!!!

Start with a sheet of sold color cardstock for your base.
Add 2 different patterned papers,
2 4x6 photos,
hand write your journaling,
and garnish with flowers.
If you want to add some pop to your meatloaf, matte your photos.

Since the beginning of my scrapbooking days I have always tried to be a little different and keep it fun ...so I will throw just about anything on a page ...so I was about to cut into the new DCWV paper pack "Doodling Around" ...and i looked at the front cover and thought ...." I could use that ".....so I started cutting into the chipboard front cover (since it was falling apart anyway) used the letter also and cut the upper right corner circle out too ..... and that is how I was thrifty today ...and going a little green also ....

Kristin's Kit Workshop: Keri's Kickin' Tags

2009-07-24T07:02:00.000-07:00

One more "Kickin'" way to use Keri's tags .....I have been looking at some of the trends in scrapbooking right now and it is putting bits & pieces of paper and embellishments around your pictures...so this is what I came up with .... This is what you need:July kitGlimmer MistFirst I pulled out Keri's tags and cut out the pear and the cherries ...and then cut the rest of the tags in 1/2...

Next, I flipped the pear & cherries over and used them as a mask on the top left hand corner of my page and sprayed Glimmer Mist to make a masking effect (sorry for the bad pictures but white on white does not photo well) ..

Then I wanted to anchor everything on the page so I added some trim to the top and bottom of my photo to the page and then placed my tags where I wanted them, then distressed them and adhered them down ...next I put the little pearls in the circles were the numbers were and added my title ...last I scrapped the edges of my layout and added some ink .....thanks for looking!!!!

This is the tag that I made for your project:
You will need:
Chipboard
Flower
Diamond Glaze
Glimmer Mist
Piece of trim
Either sequence or glitter
Paper

You need to spray the glimmer mist onto the trim....then, I cut my tag right out of the chipboard that I was using to spray on 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 (but you can make your tag any size you want), punched a hole at the top...
Next, I put the flowers how I wanted them and then glued them down with the diamond glaze...Then put a big dot in the center of my flower and last I put the sequence or glitter in the middle of the flower....

You now have element #4 of 8...for the next element, visit Karen's blog here: http://www.reallifeinpictures.blogspot.com/
