Scrappin!!






I spent most of yesterday scrapbooking. I am doing a graduation album for a client and friend. It has been so much fun!! I had a ball doing this page. I used brilliant blue for my base and stamped the doodle this and doodle that sets in craft white. I colored in the flowers with the metallic pencils and then went back and added some bling with silver stickles. I love that stuff! I added a strip of white cardstock along each side to give the layout some 'closure' and added a dotted line of stickles along that. They look like diamonds in real life. Love it!! I think it really captures the glam of her prom dress. Here is a close up....sorry I don't take better pictures!


Here is another page I did yesterday. I was "in the zone!" I did eight pages! This one is pretty simple. The colorful stripes along the bottom are actually just a strip of striped paper from Die cuts with a view. I layered that onto some Cool Carribean paper (I'm going to miss that color!!) and then stamped the swirly doodle from Doodle this along the side of the large photo. I also enhanced some of the doodle dots with my White gel pen. (You KNOW I love that thing!) I was having such fun with the gel pen that I also added some white dots here and there on the patterned paper. I stuck a few BoBunny daisies on the page with colored brads from JoAnns. It was a pretty quick page but, I think it turned out nice!


Today I am going to be out running errands...I think I have a few more on my list than I will actually be able to accomplish...but wish me luck! I hope to scrap some more tonight. Graduation is this weekend! Crunch time!!

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
