Welcome!


I have always enjoyed being crafty. I remember getting really excited about stickers and fun stationary when I was little. Well its good to know that some things in life never change!

I was introduced to scrapbooking in 2005 and have been hooked ever since. My love of crafting has branched out to include DIY, projects, gardening, baking, and canning. I hope to share my projects here.

Abc Book 1 - Pic HEAVY

Here is an ABC book I made for my niece. It is such a picture heavy project that I split the posting up into two parts. I used many, many cartridges for this project. And it is a very simple pages, the cuts are arranged so I could label everything. I will list each cartridge used on the page under each picture, except for the letters used on each page were from the Mickey and Pooh Font Cartridges. I couldn't label every cartridge used! LOL

After I completed making all the pages, I then laminated them and used the Your Story to bind them into a book. I took pictures of the pages before they were laminated. The lamination wasn't the best on the pages, as there were so many layers and levels to the surface of the page, but since this was a book for a one year old, I wanted it to hold up to a kids love. For the cover, I adhered my cut with ModPodge and then went over the cuts again, sealing them on to the cover. That has held up quite well.

Cartridge Challenge - Week 6

Here are this weeks cartridges picks:
ZooBalloo

This is really cute font with animal to go with each letter. I have used the font alone many times. I have also used the animals for various projects too. Being an older cartridge, the cuts and layers are simpler than the new cartridges. Sometimes the simpler cuts can be easier to use. What I haven't used on this cartridge is some of the other features like the card or box feature. Perhaps I will explore those images first.
Mother's Day Seasonal

There are some lovely intricate lace designs on this cartridge. As this is a seasonal cartridge, there are fewer images to choose from, which can make the decision making both easy and difficult.

I am enjoying the challenges I have faced so far in using these cartridges as I draw them from my jar.

Have a great week!

Fall Step card




Here is my first attempt at a step card. This is for a weekend challenge on the Circle board. I used ZooBalloo for the tree, Doodlecharms for the basket, the rake was made using Handman's shovel and Going Places fork. The swirl was cut using Calligraphy. The grass was cut from the Easter seasonal cart. I welded two together using my gypsy.

Bison Burgers Layout



Here is a layout I did for a weekend challenge. I used ZooBalloo for the Bison. It was actually a Yak cut and I trimmed it down to look like a bison. I used Cuttin' Up for the font, and Block Party for the rest of the cuts.
