I Created Some Pages August 2015

Other than making cards, it has been a long time since I created any scrap pages, but a few weeks ago at a yard sale, I bought a box with five 8X8 albums complete with page kits. I don't scrap 8X8, so I used them to create 12X12 pages. This was probably purchased off QVC. So far, I've only started using the blue album, which has a season theme, and created two single layouts and two double layouts, so six pages so far. I'd say that I've already gotten my five dollars worth. The page kits have paper, embellishments,and ribbon and are separated by pages, so I grab a page, find pictures that have that color scheme, and then along with a few things from my stash including the 12X12 paper, I sit and create.

The flags, journal box, folder tab, letter stickers, and white paper are from my stash.  

 The acrylic circle stickers, rubons, yellow, and white paper are from my stash.

 Blue background paper, snowflake stickers, blue circle sticker, and acrylic snowflake are from  my stash.

 Angie and her family grace this layout. Only the flowers are from my stash and the pink and brown background paper are from my stash.

January Scrapping

I've got six new layouts done.

This was Matt's favorite attraction at Disneyworld. It was one intense show.

 Kayana, Caitie, and Matt on Halloween 2013. It took over a year for the wash out spray to come out of Kayana's hair.

The journaling on this one is hidden as he had a hard teacher experience during 5th grade.

 The tag was from clothing - thanks, Angie. The penny was from a bookmark someone gave me years ago.

 This is were Matt spent the majority of his time at Universal Studios in Florida. I sat and read while he played in the water. I think I got through two books.

 Matt's birthday. He wanted all the kids to come for a sleepover and then go to church with us for his birthday. He also wanted everyone to dress up - but hey, it is always good to get more mileage out of Halloween costumes.

 This tag came from clothing I bought several years ago. I just added some old chipboard (painted red) and a fabric tag.

 Angie's kids have an amazing aunt who makes the most wonderful cakes for their birthdays. They are so lucky. This is Callie's fourth birthday and her very cool Ariel Cake. This little girl has so much personality.

 This also has a clothing tag with Ariel stickers added.

Finishing Off Letter Stickers

On Refupeas yesterday, I noticed a post about not being able to finish off a full pack of stickers, so I challenged myself to finish off a nearly gone pack of stickers that only had a few random letters left - not enough to spell anything. I'd Frankensteined them completely before I stopped using the pack, but I never tossed them.

I stuck the stickers to paper that complemented the color of the stickers, and then punched them with punches. I think it gave the paper some nice texture.

 Star Punches

I made cards with the shapes. 

Now this completely empty set of alphabet stickers can go into the trash. I even used some of the parts around the stickers as more stickers. 

Scrapping over Christmas Break

It's been a long time since I've visited my scrap table.

I've finally printed pictures for all of 2013, so I am only a year behind.

This first one is Callie. I used tags that her mama saved for me from Gymboree and other companies.

 I inked the wood embellishments with pink ink. Added rhinestones to the letter for her that is tucked into the Gymboree envelope. Even the polka dot papers are inserts from Gymboree. The flair came from my sister, Elaine. I added a crown to the Little Lass tag and a bit of old ribbon.

 This fun crown is another clothing tag. I added rhinestones to it. She will love it.

 I rarely use gray in my scrapping, but this layout called for it. Inspiration for the design came from Jana Eubank's blog. The white border was made with a small circle punch. This is my daughter Angie and my grandson Jace.

 The one way metal is from my sister Elaine. Yes, I punched out tiny white dots and glued them around the circles.

 Cuddly Zone is a tag from a stuffed animal. Flair I had for a while and the brads came from my sister Elaine.

 All the wood was inked with gray ink.

 The final layout was made first on November 7 - just a few days before Angie's stroke, and as you can see, I didn't get back to my table until yesterday. Now that she is doing better, my creative vibe is coming back. These are pictures of my son James and grand daughter Aliese.

 Yes, that is an old vellum leaf cut from old vellum paper.

 This little one sure loves her dad.

School's back in session, so I've been MIA

I thought I'd better update since it's been so long.

You can click on the pictures to see them close-up.

This is me and Matt at Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

The details. I used one of our passes here.

 The Disneyland circle is the tag from something we bought at Disney.

 Matt with our good neighbors and one of his best friends.

 Costume jewelry often makes it onto the page.
