Here's the third layout for Scrap Club on Monday.  These pictures are from my middle son's 3rd birthday.  You will notice I used the Simple Birthday Thanks stamp set for the cupcake.  the colors used are Brocade Blue, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I hope to tackle the tutorial for the gift tag box, which I promised, tomorrow.  I'm sorry to take so long, however, I had to get these layouts created and posted for the Scrap Club members to prepare their pictures for class.  i hope you will check back for the tutorial! Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment if you have Continue reading

Wow, I'm on the ball for a change!  These pictures were taken last week on my son's first day of Kindergarten.  We will be doing this as our second layout for Scrap Club on Monday, September 21.  The colors used on the page are Bravo Burgundy, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.  This page will be wonderful for many occasions with that great color combination and the apples. You may notice the "designed paper"  We will be using the Rustic Rooster retired stamp set to stamp the cardstock and create our own design behind the apples. Here is a close-up picture of one of the pages. Thank Continue reading

We've been doing a lot of Christmas items the last few days but we need to jump backwards on the calendar and do a little Fall!  This is one of the three scrapbook layouts the Scrapbook Club will be making at the Mason Dixon Library next Monday.  With the beautiful fall colored leaves this layout would work great for pictures in the pumpkin patch, jumping in a pile of leaves and so much more. For my pages I used pictures from my sons preschool Fall Party last year.  (He's the clown)  At the party I stamped with all the kids making the frames pictured on the page and to the left here.  This Continue reading

I got to make this scrapbook page for Jennifer's party in Bel Air, MD today.  I had a lot of fun putting it together.  I used the Circle Scissor Plus to cut the large circle out of Bella Bleu DSP and added chipboard circles, a chipboard heart, Pretties flower and a vintage brad. This is one of those pages with a lot of empty space, they can be a nice change from the crowded, almost overwhelming pages sometimes.  Nice, clean cut and simple. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and finding some time to create! Continue reading

Here is the third layout for the Scrap Club this month.  This page shows pictures of us bringing home baby boy number two from the hospital.  This is a simple page but I think the pictures are really the ones to tell the story. I will send an email out to each of the Scrap Club members either tonight or tomorrow morning.  I have returned from Florida so you can contact me at home if you have any questions. Continue reading

Here's one of the scrapbook pages we're going to be making for Scrap Club this month.  I really like the lattice die and I think the colors look really neat for this page.   We will be using the same colors you see here - Night of Navy, Ballet Blue and Certainly Celery. The grandpa on these pages is my dad.  The boys always wear my Dad out when he comes, they play hard! Continue reading

Here is the third layout we'll be making in Scrapbook Club this month.  I decided to do another Christmas layout as we think of Christmas in July.  I like the way this layout turned out!  I need to see if I can find the pictures from this Christmas (only 3 years ago) and print off some more, but it's okay even as it is I think. The pictures you see here were from my second son's first Christmas.  Jaan was 3 days shy of 1 month old.  (We have a lot of birthdays fairly close to Christmas in our family.) The Scrap Club I lead meets at the Mason Dixon Public Library in Stewartstown the third Continue reading

This is my little guy that just had to make sure he was born in time for Christmas.  Ethan was technically due January 1 but he had to make sure he came on Christmas Eve.  On Christmas morning in the hospital the nurse took him out of my room and brought him back in this cute Christmas stocking. I used Bravo Burgundy, Old  Olive and Whisper White.  The Christmas tree is made of pieces of ribbon with a piece of chipboard embossed in silver for the star at the top of the tree.  There is another piece of embossed chipboard hanging on the right as an ornament.  The Love and Joy were cut out using Continue reading

The new catalog comes out tomorrow.  Anyone excited?!  I'll post a picture for you on tomorrow's post! Continue reading

One of the many hats my husband wears is that of a magician.  These pictures were taken at my middle sons third birthday when my husband put on a magic show for the "party" (just us and my brother-in-law were there.)  The boys had a great time! I didn't really start out with the intention of this page looking patriotic but I found that all of my sons were wearing red tops with white lines or figures and they all had on navy bottoms.  And then to beat the band my husband had a red cape and jeans.  I just couldn't ignore the colors, after all, they're what draws a page together.  So, here the Continue reading
