Summer Fun Mini Book

Do you subscribe to people's channels on Youtube? I have a couple of scrappy channels that I subscribe to on there and I just love watching a tutorial video to get my mojo going. I'm subscribed to Hero Arts (among others) and as soon as they posted this mini vacation book by Shari Carroll I knew I wanted to make one. It is made from standard sized note cards!! How easy is that?!? So I watched the video about a thousand times before I finally got down to creating my own. Here it is....
I used plain white cardstock note cards, paper from We R Memory Keepers and Making Memories, colored cardstock, ribbon, buttons, my Slice, cuttlebug embossing folders, and a couple of tags from a summer swap I did last year.
Let me know what you think!

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone!!! I can not believe how fast the summer is flying by. We go back to school here in less than a month!!! Seems like we just got out! Hope you are enjoying yours!

The challenge this week at SSDS is a super easy one and one that I know you can get done in a jiffy. This week we want to see animals on your creations!

This week we have the fabulous Meljen's Designs as our sponsor! If you haven't seen her images you are missing out! Be sure to stop by the Whimsy Stamps store to see Meljen's Designs adorable images!


Here's my card! I used this adorable turtle image from Meljen's Designs and colored it with copic markers. I cut it out and used a pop-up for the butterfly! The patterned paper is BG Mellow, layered with cream, green, and orange cardstock. I added two skinny ribbons and a bow. The title was created with letter stickers from Creative Memories and outlined with a brown pen. Easy!

Come play with us this week at SSDS! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm back!

Yay, I am back in my scrappy space! I have been away far too long and it was about to drive me insane. As I mentioned earlier, I kept a crop bag of stuff out in the kitchen and I was able to do a few things. But mostly, I just kept getting irriatated because I needed something that was packed up or something. It was horrible!!! But, I am back and I am full of mojo.





I am excited to re-enter the scrappy world with this weeks challenge at SSDS! This weeks challenge is to make a scene. Our sponsor, Sugar Creek Hollow, has beautiful vintage images and we were lucky to have a few images to use. When I saw this hot air balloon I knew it was the perfect one for me. I started out by dusting the background of my card with Pebbles, Inc. chalk. Then I used the hot air balloon image to create a paper piecing, added some scraps of green patterned paper, some foam squares and here it is!





Please join us this week at SSDS for a chance to win some digi images from our awesome sponsor, Sugar Creek Hollow!!!

One Day Soon

One day soon..... I will be able to scrap again!!! We have been in the middle of a remodel that required the near packing up of all of the bedrooms in our house. When I packed up my scrappy stuff, I made a little bag to keep in the kitchen with what I thought would keep me happy until I could set up my desk again. It just hasn't worked out. Every time I sit down and try to create something I get so frustrated because that one little thing that I "need" is all packed up. So...I haven't done anything!!! Oh, please let this end soon! I need to scrap!!!!
