Yesterday Was A Scrappy Kind of Day...

Whew!! I was trying to use up as much as I could of my Counterfeit Kit, at least the stuff I had ideas for...
The first layout I did was for this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch...
The layout: "Love, Honor, Cherish" was done with photos from my little sis's wedding this past summer (wasn't she beautiful?), and made up almost entirely of my Counterfeit Kit. The only thing I added were the Doodlebug Frills (the black scalloped borders). They needed a little pizazz, so I painted them with the homemade Concrete Glimmer Glam paint from my color kit, then misted them with Homemade Moonlight White shimmer mist. I was impatient, so I used my heat tool to dry it, so I could go ahead and use it.
The second layout, "Frosty Kisses", used photos that I took of my brother, his girlfriend, and her little boy. The supplies were completely from my Counterfeit Kit from February, with the exception of the journaling spot from Creative Imaginations, from my January kit, and the tiny scraps of flourish blings.The title and snowflakes are cut from my Winter Woodland cartridge and Cricut.The next layout, "Snow Day", used up some of the pics from all of our recent snows. Again, most supplies were from my February Counterfeit Kit. I did swap the light blue cardstock from my kit for this slightly different shade of light blue Bazzill (Swiss Dots) from my stash, because I felt it matched my photos better.I used cardstock scraps from my Feb kit, a Martha Stewart punch for the scalloped border, and added a Making Memories Noteworthy sheet for the journaling.I used Winter Woodland again to cut out snowflake accents and the "Snow Day" title, using scraps of the lavendar cardstock and leftover pieces of the GCD Studios paper on the shimmery white back side for the layering and snowflakes. I used white Momento ink on the circle chipboard , and sprayed with my Plum Crazy and Moonlight White homemade shimmer mists. I dried it with my heat tool, and used my Doodlebug rub-on letters for the word, "fun".The last layout, "Sharing", was of some sweet cupcake sharing photos of my twins-the photo coloring was a bit off, but I wanted to scrap this sweet memory, anyway. From my Counterfeit Kit, I used the Back of one of my Basic Grey sheets for the background of this layout, a Basic Grey chipboard label, a few light pink Basic Grey Painted Brads, the last tiny pink flower, a Jenni Bowlin journaling spot, a grungeboard bookplate, and a cupcake feltie and a mini banner from my stash.I inked the grungeboard with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain Distress ink pads, and misted with my homemade Moonlight White shimmer mist, and the cupcake feltie was one I made for a swap on 2 Peas in a Bucket.The chipboard Basic Grey plaque, I inked with white Momento ink, painted the edges with Opal Shimmerz, and misted the chipboard with the Moonlight White shimmer mist. I also used the Making Memories pink glitter stickers, and the patterned mini banner was from a mini banner swap on 2 PeasHere is what I started the month with:
And...............
Here is what's left of my Counterfeit Kit, Cardstock, and Romance Add-ons!! I know, it looks like alot, but it actually is not very much when you consider all of the stuff I started with. I did have some partially used ribbon, tulle, and Remarks journaling stickers left, that I put back in my stash. And, out of all of my patterned papers and cardstock, I only have 1 full sheet each of cardstock and patterned paper, and a few partial sheets and scraps. I do have one more layout and card in the works, which I will share in the next few days.
All in all, yesterday was a very productive scrapbooking day, but I have some cleaning to do today!

A Card for my Hubby...


Yesterday was my husband 37th Birthday (Happy Birthday, Honey!), and this is the card that I made for him. I stamped Stampabilities "Royal Flush" stamp with Ladybug Red Momento Ink, and Tuxedo Black on white cardstock, and then sprayed with a clear acrylic HiShine Glaze. I took a white card base, and punched the edge with my Martha Stewart Simple Scallop Punch. Then I used DTP (Direct To Paper) inking with the Tuxedo Black. I added the word "Lucky!" cut out from Indie Art Cartridge at 1", and also the shadow of the same cut. On the inside, I wrote "Lucky me, that is..." .
Oh, and I did this by candlelight! The power was out for 3+ hours, so I did the best I could with what I had..."Lucky" I had already cut out the sentiment, huh?

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff...And Freebies For you!





Today I am sharing two cards with you. The first, I used this week's sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches, and made an anniversary card for my parents. Thirty-one years! We should all be so blessed/lucky! The background of the card is Basic Grey Wisteria, then I used a scrap of light blue distressed graph-style paper for the triangle, and attached a border underneath the edge that I made from a shimmery white gold cardstock from Wasau paper, with my Martha Stewart doily edge punch. I attached a pale yellow scalloped oval that I cut from the Storybook Cartridge. To finish the card-I printed the Filled Butterfly digistamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff on a transparency, then used Broken China and Silver Stickles for the body and antenae of the butterfly. Added 3 small pearls, and I think I came up with a pretty anniversary card for my parents!

The second card was just for fun. I wanted to fulfill the Dare You To Digistamp Friday Challenge, and this week's was "distressing". So, I made this shopper silhouette from some clip art, to be cut on my Cricut with SCAL. If you would like a copy of this svg, click here. I used the Shopping Bags digistamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, and printed it out on different paper scraps, which I shaded with Copics, and decorated with various gemstones/glitter pens/Jolee's. The chipboard sentiment and ribbon are from Die Cuts With A View, and the background for the card is shimmery Wasau cardstock. I distressed it by inking the edges of the card and chipboard with Tuxedo Black Momento ink. Thanks for dropping by, now hop on over to the other design team members' blogs to see what they have in store for you! One of these girls has a free digistamp for you, but you have to find it!

Layout for the new PageMaps Contest









I am loving cherries right now (especially this great 2 Cherries digistamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff for only $1.00!). I decided to use these for this birthday layout that I did for the newest sketch challenge at the Page Maps blog. I mixed the cherries with some more stuff that I love right now- Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons, gingham paper and ribbons, flowers and Stickles! Oh, and of course I had to use my Cricut a little bit! The green flourish behind the cherries is from the Accent Essentials cartridge. And it's another page for July, for Lora's scrapbooking challenge.

Cowboy Cutie!

Isn't he the CUTEST Cowboy you've ever seen? I made this page for week 26 of 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks. This is one of my favorite pictures that I have ever taken of my son-he usually has that big cheeseball grin (my fault, I know, I am paparazzi Mommy!). Anyway, I love how this photo from last Halloween came out. I used a white textured cardstock background, inked the edges with black Graphite Brillance ink pad, then I attached the 2 pieces of red bandana print paper. I cut the barbed wire with my Cricut and an svg file from Dan's blog (SVG Masks). I matted the photo on black cardstock, and attached some round adhesive backed studs that I got from Walmart a loooong time ago. For the pocket, I printed the Denim Pocket digistamp from Lindsay's StampStuff onto denim print paper. The stitching didn't show up enought for me, so I traced the stitch marks with a red marker. The tag is blank Grungeboard by Tim Holtz, which I used a template to trace and hand cut. I then used red "Ladybug" Momento ink to color the tag, and a Graphite Brilliance ink pad to ink the edges. I wrote my journaling by hand with a black pen, then braided raphia for the tie. I cut a little green cactus with my Cricut, stuck the edge under the bottom piece of patterned paper, then used Making Memories black polka dot Puffy Alpha letter stickers for the title. Thank you for looking!
