"Family" Library Pocket with Card

I made this for a swap and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out! I was a little out of my comfort zone trying to design with a Heritage feel. I used Close to My Heart Cranberry cardstock for the pocket. Then I used my Cricut Storybook cartridge for the flower design cut from CTMH Desert Sand paper. I used Home Decor to cut out the base for "Family" out of white cardstock then stamped the word "Family" in Desert Sand ink and used Bamboo and Desert Sand ink on the edges. I also used Bamboo ink on the edges of the pocket as well. Finally I added a few brads to finish! The card is use white card stock cut from Fabulous Finds (the Library Pocket "Insert") and the edges were inked with Bamboo and Desert Sand ink!

"Sisters" Library Pocket with Card

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks so I haven't been doing much scrappin'! Had Penny's 3rd Birthday party 2 weekends ago. It was a ton of fun! As soon as I can dig out one of the invitations (I had to put away ALL my scrap stuff) I will get some pics posted. In the meantime, I had to finish up some swap and PIF items so I have a few new pics to share. The one above turned out great, I think :) I wanted a tone on tone look so I used my new Cuttlebug to emboss hearts on to the front of the Library Pocket. Then I used Close to My Heart Baby Pink ink with a sponge dauber to swirl ink onto the hearts so make them pop a bit more. Then I stamped the word "Sisters" in the same Baby Pink ink on a small piece of cardstock with my CTMH Curly-Q alphabet and inked the edges with a dauber. I used pop-dots to adhere to the front for more dimension. Finally, I stamped the card with the CTMH Library Card stamp in Baby pink as well. Well, off to another doctor's appt... gotta check on the new baby (I'm 31 weeks now)! I do have some other images to post later so keep your eyes peeled....

Let It Snow Page Kit ~ Details Part 1

Let It Snow Page Kit

I made this page kit of a swap I'm in and it turned out so darn cute I had to share it! I almost hate to give it up. Really wasn't too hard to assemble so I may be putting one together for myself tonight! The kit includes: "Let it Snow" Title, Journaling Block, Matchbook, Paper Pieced Snowman, and 2 Photo Mats, each can hold a 4 x 6 photo. The papers were from Oriental Trading Co, Winter Mat Stack II, Button Brads on Snowman from Making Memories, Snowflake Brads from Michaels (MM?), Photo Turns, Snowflake stamp, and Pansy Purple Ink from Close To My Heart, Fiber from Ebay, and Ghost Snowflake is Heidi Swapp. Will post some close ups later! Gotta get back to work, LOL!

Brrr Library Pocket and Card

So here is a new Library Pocket with Card... I had some adorable scraps from the 8 x 8 layout I made so I decided to make this adorable pocket. It is my latest PIF offering in the Down Paper Lane Yahoo Group PIF board. The pic isn't the best but that's what happens when I have to use the laundry room instead of sunlight to photograph... I love the way this turned out! Enjoy.

Dog Library Pocket and Tag

I created these for a PIF swap on my Down Paper Lane Yahoo Group. I think they turned out really cute! I'm going to make a set for myself and hopefully I will post a page using them soon :)

8 x 8 Layout Challenge

So I decided to join in on the Cutter's Creek Yahoo Groups latest contest. It is a 8 x 8 page layout contest. The prize is all of the contributed pages in a nice album so I'm hoping the luck of the draw is with me on this one! It truely was a challenge for me to make this page because I normally scrap in 12 x 12 double page layouts so I needed to think of a way to be able to fit multiple photos in a small area (I never have just one perfect pic, I have 20!). I used double sided cardstock to make this a bit easier on myself. There is a hidden photo mat behind the main photo mat that you can put a photo on each side. You can also pull out the card in the library pocket and mount small photos or write journalling on and both sides are pretty too. I was very happy with how this turned out... now to work on stuff for my OWN books!
