Victoria Case Blog Challenge #5

This is the sketch we followed this week:

I didnt follow the sketch exactly, I changed it up a bit.

It took me 5 attempts at doing this, I am very tired tonight, Both kids are home and I couldnt get my mojo working. But It finally clicked into gear! Woohoo..

I love this new image of Victoria Case's Stork I used my copics to color in the stork, stickles on the baby blanket and Safari Kids Stack Pack by DCWV. I have a bunch of cute buttons in my stash, and I just happen to find that tug board. My sentiment is a stamp i found at Hobby Lobby. That circle where the sentiment lays is from SCAL its actually a Spellbinders file called Dahlia, I googled it and I found the SVG. :) If you want a copy let me know.

Have a great night.

Hang Tough!

I made this one for my son, he is 6 and in Kindergarten. He took this picture for his school photos (I have to mail my MIL one) He looks so sad or grown up, I cant decide.

I used SCAL with a free font from Fontspace called ABCcar. I used my Archaic Paper and all its accessories for the other fun stuff. This was an easy page to make thanks to Basic Grey, I have found my new favorite paper.




Thanks for looking :)

Trying on Wedding Dresses Scrapbook Layout

I am in the process of scrapbooking my life. This layout is the day I went to the bridal store and tried on dresses, this happened to be the dress i chose (this was 10 years ago - bling was in lol) I still need to decide on what kind of journalling I will do. I may do a die cut on chipboard, havent decided yet. I am brave to show my picture on this blog!! This was me 10 years ago, before kids, marriage and life got in the way.

I used SCAL on the cricut for most of it, markers for title and sub title, a stampin up die cut (yes I copied it SHH dont tell!).

What kind of journalling do you think I should use? I want it on the right side of that empty space.

Thank you Cards

Details: I got this idea from Kristen Werner on Two Peas in bucket. She used staples in her ribbon, which i would have never thought of doing on my own.

This was a nice simple basic card. I may make a bunch more to have on hand. :)

Scrapbook Canvas

Details: I found these great canvas's at Michaels. They were half off so I bought a few. I used Tulip paints to color it in, puffy for the words. Thats my son's Kindergarten picture. He has a goofy smile on - doesnt he? :)

I made it for hubby as a late Hanukkah present. I am making another one of my daugther.

Juliana at Mc Donalds in Russia

Details: This photo was taken in Moscow Russia, She was just 18 months Old. Its her first Hamburger and Fries!

It is part one of two, i am working on the next page. All my words were made with SCAL, as well as the scallops and the Mc Donalds sign. The only chipboard I used was the Word First and the hearts, its from K&Co.

I weaved the ribbon the left side and made a journal card in a pocket. I used the Angel Company stamp for the journal square.

The paper is from Paper Studio - its called So So Sweet.

Our Little Juliana turns 4!!

The Title Reads Our Little Juliana turns 4!!

I cant believe my little girl is 4 years old! She is so different now. Talks, cries alot, has fits, but is very smart and loveable too!

I made this for her. I think I may have to make another one, I took so many pictures now that I have an amazing camera (Nikon). I cut out the title with SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot) with my cricut. It is awesome, never again will I buy a font cartridge again! Check out the link to the right and see for yourself. I still need to journal, but where am I gonna put it?? Maybe a hidden pull tab from the back??

Alex's First Time To Mc Donalds

This Scrapbook page is for Alex. This was taken in 2006, when we adopted him. he was with for the first time as his parents. He ate his first french fry. You can see the happiness on his face, no more being hungry! I think he knew at that moment thing were going to be ok. I need to add the date and year! oops...

Happy Birthday Card with Cricut!

I am really loving my cricut! Since I bought Sure Cuts Alot at www.craftedge.com I have been one happy gal!

I used the Susans BlueRobot's file from her blog to create the card itself, It is an SVG file. Just save it and cut it with SCAL, its just that easy. I also used the SCAL to cut out my die cut. It looks just like Stampin' Up but I didnt spend 22 dollars for it.

I love creating unique cards and I think is as unique as I have been lately. Its done with a simple cinderella stamp and some pencils.





I made it for my neighbors daughter who turns 3 tomorrow.

Here is my handmade envelope...




Happy thanksgiving everyone. Dont eat too much turkey! :)
