Let me preface this by saying- I am NO expert at digital scrapbooking!!! It is fun to fiddle with from time to time but I am not a good one to ask technical questions!!! In fact this page was part of a pre-done kit. All I did was add my pictures and the little bit of journaling! You could make a similar layout with standard scrapbooking supplies too, if you wanted! So enjoy!

Over the past 2 weeks, I have managed to get quite a few scrapbook layouts done!!! They are all pretty basic and simple. But my goal in scrapbooking is to my children the stories about their childhood that they would never remember otherwise. I don’t worry too much about "getting caught up." I just scrapbook the pictures and the stories that are most meaningful to me in the moment.  I focus on photos and journaling. Enjoy the layouts!

So what do you think? Are you motivated to get scrapping?!!!

I have to say it again- I love the Petal Pizzazz stamp set in the new catalog!!! I have a couple more cards to show you today with the set…

This one uses that fun textured patterned paper that I was telling you about a couple days ago. Isn’t it yummy?!

And this one uses the new Rasberry Tart DSP. I LOVE this one! The colors are so fresh and pretty! And those flowers were very easy to make since I used my scallop punch to cut them out! I am not that great with cutting! I don’t know if I should have made it out of kindergarden!

So do you believe me about this Petal Pizzazz set yet?!!!

Tomorrow we will be taking a break from the cards and I have a bunch of scrapbook layouts to show you. Some are Stampin’ Up! layouts and some are not. But they all feature my cute kids and I love any chance I can get to show them off!

Happy Stampin’!

OMG! I had so much fun scrapping with a friend yesterday and then stamping at home with my new SU! goodies!!! I made so much fun stuff yesterday (and even managed to get errands done!). BUT- I am stamping with a nwe friend this mornig and so I don’t have lots of time to post right now. So I am just going to show you one of the cards I made yesterday. I think it may even be my favorite!

I CASED this card by Jenn. I loved the colors and the simplicity. SO then I went and added stuff and slightly changed the colors! I love how it turned out. And I love this new stamp set!!!! It is called Petal Pizzazz. You NEED it!!! I can’t put mine down! And how about those cool cordoroy buttons and brads?!!!

Yummy!!!

Ok- I have to go do some more stamping! Tough life, huh?

If you would like to purchase any of these product, you can email me or buy online by visiting my Stampin’ Up! website.

Recipe

My new SU! goodies are here!!! The bum part was that they did not come until last night while I was at Piano lessons with my son. I didn’t have time to make anything new yet : (  But I did get to drool over my new DSP!!! You NEED to get the Parisian Breeze Specialty paper. It is gorgeous!!!! It is thick and textured and an amazing color combo!!! I will post a picture of it at the end of this post. Last night, I also tried the new circle cutter. I am in love!!! I have wanted a good circle cutter for years! I hated the Coluzzle!!!! But this nwe one is so easy to use and gives a perfect cut without much effort at all. I did get the glass mat since it was recommended.

So this morning I am going to a friend’s house for a little scrapping. Yippee! I love scrapping days! Then, after I run some errands, I am coming home to make some cards with my new goodies. I have lots of ideas spinning in my head and I can’t wait to play!

Today I have a fun scrapbook layout that I made last week. I am just in love with the pictures of my daughter riding in her Power Wheels that Santa brought for Christmas. WARNING- I didn’t use SU! supplies for this one!

I love the way this layout looks IRL but for some reason I can’t get the picture to look right. But at least you can see Danika’s sweet smiles!!!

Ok here is that DSP that I was telling you about…

Mr. Brown is out for delivery right now with my brand new Stampin’ Up! goodies!!! It seems that I am usually his last stop for the day though. Sometimes I am already in bed when he comes! But that doesn’t stop me from looking out the window every time I hear a truck coming down the street!

Anyway- I made some cards this weekend using my Georgia Peach DSP. It just retired but I have resolved to using up some of my gorgeous paper even if it is retired!

I received a super sweet gift from a gal at my MOPS table. So when I got home on Friday- I decided to make her a card to put in the mail. She is a fellow SU! demo and my sideline!

I pulled out my very neglected A Birdie Told ME set and did some paper piecing. This set is so versatile! I think I may have to make some more cards with it!

And then this next card, I made real quick yesterday mornng.

I decided to leave the sentiment off for now because I have no idea who will be getting this card yet! I have to admit that I am a hoader and I have a hard time giving the cards away!!!

Recipes:

Birdie Card

Stamps: A Birdie Told Me

Paper: Geogia Peach DSP, Regal Rose, Old Olive, Whisper Wite

Gotta go check for Mr. Brown again!!! Talk to ya tomorrow!

It has been a long day and I am pretty tired (4 small kids will do that to you) but I wanted to post the other dry erase boards that I made for the ladies at my MOPS table.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Sorry to post so late today but I had MOPS this morning (it’s an hour drive each way) and I just never had a chance to schedule a post. But I have a project to show you that I just LOVE. I needed to bring a small gift for ech of the 8 gals at my table and it was suggested that we bring some sort of notebook or something that could be used for To Do lists. It got me thinking about a project that Diana Gibbs made back in December. So here are 2 of the dry erase boards that I made….

So sorry about the crappy lighting in the pictures. It has been cloudy and raining for about 36 hours so there is no good lighting for pictures. But aren’t these cute?! I got the photo frames at the dollar store. They are 5×7. I took some patterned paper and printed lines on it with my printer. Then I decorated with a stamped image and stuck it in the frame. Now you can use a Dry Erase marker to write on it!!! I am going to keep mine in my stamp room. Whenever I run out of a crdstock color or something, I can write it on the frame to make ordering easier! I also think it would be great to put next to the phone with a list of friends and family with birthdays coming up. It will help to remind you to call them. You could even use it for phone messages!

I will upload pictures of the other frames this weekend.

 

I have several retired stamp sets that I am selling. Most are gently used and may have some staining on the wood. If you are interested in any of these sets, please email me (sears1130@cox.net) and if the stamp set is still available, I will send you a payment request through paypal. A $4.80 shipping charge will be added to each order. If you plan on picking them up, please let me know in the email.

Those that are highlighted in red are so longer available.
