A New Experience - Cyber Crop

My weekends have been so hectic lately that I decided to be lazy this past Saturday. The weather cooperated with me and it was a dull and dreary day. A perfect day to spend inside scrapping my pages. Kit n' Kaboodles had a cyber crop on Saturday and so I decided to give it a try! What fun I had! One of the challenges was to use only black, orange and white paper - no printed paper and only these 3 colors. SO I dug up some old photos that needed to be scrapped and made this layout. I miss carving the pumpkins with the boys - actually I just took the pictures! Enjoy!

10/08/07 BIA Valentine's Day Mini Book

OK- I am alittle confused about the current holiday but I saw this cute project on Scrapbook Memories on Saturday and I only had the Smitten My Originals card set to play with. It was so quick and easy - the hardest part was reading the directions to the Bind It All :) - my new toy!

So if you order one of the bundles off of my website (check under My Art for more details), I will send you the complete directions to create one of these mini books. You do not need a Bind It All tool and can substitute rings for the closure. My next mini book is a Christmas theme book. More in line with the season!

MS Crop in Tampa this weekend

WOW - another busy weekend. I hope these end soon! Here is the layout I did on Saturday using CTMH Enchanted papers. I do miss "FAll" and my kids as children - is there a way to bring back these memories?

Fall in Florida

I miss the beautiful colors of fall. I will attempt to go back to Buffalo again this fall - last year they had a freak snow storm and my flight was canceled! To get ready for cooler temps, corduroy pants and sweaters, I created this card using the Rainbow Double technique from the Technique Junkies August/Septmeber newsletter. The card sketch is from the ctmhfriends yahoo group, but I tweaked it slightly and made it my own! Enjoy!

The Adventures of Harley D.

If you have read my posts before, you know that my dog Harley is a 'stampin' fool!" He is sitting on Susan's lap sanding paper with CTMH new 4-sided sanding block. He loves the paper and chews my scraps any chance he gets. If I could only teach him how to stamp, I would hire him as my First Assistant immediately!

National Stamping Day Celebration

Well, my Scrapbook Studio is finally set up! After three coats of paint and a trip to Sam's Club for the table and chairs, the room is somewhat finished. I still have plans to decorate the room in colors of honey, cranberry and chocolate but it may take a few more weeks to put the artwork up on the walls and finish the canvas cloth rug. SO check back for more photos when it is finished!

Here are the pics from the card class that I had on Saturday. I selected the colors of sunflower, goldrush and chocolate to coordinate with the colors of the studio. The cards are the designs from the kit - they have a fall feeling to them.
