Happy Fourth of July!!!!

Today I have a fun digi page using pics of my kids swimming in the kiddie pool in the backyard! Love those happy faces!

Isn’t that fun?!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

And for my last Season of Friendship card (for now) I have a Christmas card. Last year I told myself that I would work on Christmas cards through out the year so that I wouldn’t feel so pressured in November and December. Well that hasn’t happened!!! This is my first Christmas card for the year!!! It was CASED for several on splitcoast.

This is such a simple Christmas card! It would be very easy to reproduce!!! My favorite part is the "snow" on the branches that I made with a white gel pen. Super simple!

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend! I will be back tomorrow with a scrapbook page.

Recipe:

Stamps: Season of Frienship

Paper: Ridinghood Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Bashful Blue

Ok, today’s card is going to seem a little strange since it is barely July!!!!

A Halloween card!!!!! Doesn’t everyone make Halloween cards in July?!!!! I CASED this card from Danielle Lounds. I LOVE her work!

Today I have another simple one for you that has a fall feel to it. Since it is 107 degrees here today, this card is just wishful thinking on my part!!

I just love this color combo too!!!! It is Baja Breeze (now retired), Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. And can you believe all these cards I have made recently without ribbon?!!! Crazy!!!!

The new Stampin’ Up! catalog starts today!!!! So you can order yourself the Season of Frienship stamp set today if you didn’t get it from the mini! I wonder if my hubby is placing an order for my upcoming birthday……..

I fell in love with the stamp set Season of Frienship from the Occassions Mini this past winter. But I never got a chance to order it : (  So I was super excited when I saw that it is in the new catalog that starts on July 1st!!! And even more excited when a friend loaned me her set!!!!! Yay!!! In fact I was so excited that I whipped up 6 cards in a couple of hours!!! I haven’t stamped like that in ages!!! It felt good!!! So this week I have a whole series of posts for you using the set Season of Friendship. By the end of the week- you will be wanting the set too!!!!

Here is my first one…..

This card was inspired by several that I saw in the Splitcoast gallery. But I had to add my favorite half back pearls!!! Gosh I just love those things!!!! The color combo is Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose and Chocolate Chip. I LOVE the combo and must use it again soon!

I will have another one for you tomorrow!

I am the family photographer. I can almost always be found behind the camera. But I am trying very hard to remember to pass the camera to my hubby so that I am in some pictures too! And then I have to try even harder to put them in the scrapbook!!! My kids will want to know about me too. So today I have a layout about some goals that I have for myself. It’s a simple layout- but I like the way it turned out.

Even though I made my layout digi- this could easily be made with paper!!! The kit I used is called Strawberry Hill and I bought it as part of the Digi Files 5. I paid $5 for 8 different kits!!! You only have until the end of the month to grab it!!!

I am making it my goal to have a scrapbook layout to show you every Saturday!!! This will keep me scrapping!!! I am gonna warn you that at this moment most of my scrapping is digi. I may do some paper scrapping in the future. But it is so much cheaper and faster to do digi scrapping so I am really drawn to it. But you paper scrappers can always get some inspiration from the layouts anyway!

This week’s page uses a photo that I took on Father’s Day of my kids and my hubby.

I don’t know why but I have been butterfly happy lately!!!! I LOVE the butterfly die for the big shot from Stampin’ Up!. I have used that a lot. But I am also loving the stamp set Great Friend. That is one of the sets that I used for today’s card. And I paired it with the words from the set Flight of the Butterfly.

Gosh I sure do love those half back pearls from the Pretties kit!!!! Does anyone know where I can just buy a whole package of them??!!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I am off to the movies with the kids!!!

I NEVER make one layer cards! And I am always amazed by those stampers who can make one layer cards look so beautiful. But I was browsing through the new catalog and suddenly had an idea for a card! The layout was not really inspired by anything in the catalog. But the color combo for this first card was inspired from the new Decor Elements catalog. The front cover is so bright and cheerful. I love it!!! And I almost never stamp with bright colors. So I decided I needed to give it a try. The color combo is Brilliant Blue, Green Galore, Tempting Torquoise, and So Saffron. Here is what I came up with….

Since the colors were so bright- I decided to leave lots of white space to the eyes had a place to reast. So what do you think???

I really like it. Am I allowed to say that about my own card? Oh well. I did! So I decided to make the same card and use some of my favorite colors: Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive.

I kinda like them both! They were both quite a bit out of my comfort zone. It is fun to stretch yourself when stamping from time to time!

I am in a bit of a hurry and since I already gave you the color combos- I am just going to let you know the stamp sets used. The flowers are from the set Petal Pizazz and the words are from Stem Sayings.

Have a great Thursday!
