Jinger Adams Design Team Submission

Hello Everyone,
I made this layout to submit for the Jinger Adams call.  My mother-in-law took these pics of my kids one Sunday morning and I had to have them and make a layout. I had so much fun making this layout. I did a few things that were lurking in my mind dieing to get out. I wanted my title/journaling to be a major part of this page. I double cut the small script in blue and a green pattern paper, and the large print was cut 4 times and layered with the top cut being colored with my Copic markers to complement the page. This was somewhat time consuming but well worth it in the end. I made a mat for the page by cutting an 11 1/2 square out of the kraft card stock and using the outer frame. I sewed this to the patterned background and distressed and curled the paper back a bit. The butterflies were made by layering vellum, patterned paper, and twine for the large, and 3 layers of vellum layered and stapled for the small. The top 2 layers of the small are colored with Copics.

Enjoy and CRAFT ON!!

American Girl Doll

Hello Everyone,
I started keeping a list of layouts I want to do this year and here is one completed. These pics. were taken in 09 and I really wanted to get them in an album. My brother bought my daughter this doll when she was 5yr(he was really leery because it was an expensive doll for a little kid), and this is what it looked like 6yrs later. She took really good care of it.

Hello Everyone,
Here are some more pics of my project life. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself.  I havn't fallen behind and I truly enjoy it.  What I like the most is how my family enjoys it too.  My daughter had some friends over and she had them look at our project life album.  My husband and son have alsohave been snapping pics with there phones and sending them to me to print.I have noticed that I really like to print my own pics. I printed a two 6x6 that fit together to make a bigger print. Soooo fun.

CopicMarkerScrapbookings New Digital Stamps Feb.27th,2012

Hello Everyone,
Here is the new Digi release from Copicmarkerscrapbooking. This set is called Under The Sea and was drawn by Kathie Zaban. A fun world of sea creatures and mermaids.
Here is a book I covered with an altered image. I had a hard time capturing the sparkle in the picture.  I combined parts of three different stamps. I love the freedom to play around with digi’s.  I was inspired by Colleen’s Smash book and this is what I came up with for myself. I also did this card. The horses are behind acetate and I threw in some iridescent confetti.

Winter 2011 Slumber Party

Hello Everyone,
I try to have a get together for my daughter over every winter and summer break. This time it was a sewing slumber party. I found a project that I thought would be very useful for the girls and some what easy for beginners. I got the ideal from KwernerDesigns. She had done several of these and I thought these would work great for our conventions and sleep overs. The girls were all here by 12pm on a Fri. an we started prepping things about 2pm. I took them through the whole process, from cutting material down to the finished bag. Two of the girls have never sewn before and two had made dresses before. I was very proud of all the girls, it was a long day, but by 10pm that night everyone had a finished bag and could go off and just be silly for the rest of the time. They worked their little fingers off. Here are some collages of the pics.
