Puppy Dog Layout

Happy Tuesday and Happy July 1st! Can you believe its July already? I can't, time seems to be flying by!

I am up today with a Design Team Layout for The Creative Nook. One of the other girls made some really cute pre-made pages and I was dying to get to play with the Bo Bunny pet collection. I wanted to showcase some of the cool dies the store has and show people how even with scraps you can make a layout!

The store has an grand collection of Accucut Dies. The title "Hunter" and the heart was cut with chipboard and then I cut the same things again with the matching paper! I glued the paper on top of the scraps and tada! Your very own custom shapes and letters. The store even has a die cut club, its $5 a month and you have unlimited access to the machine, they even have chipboard for you to use.

These photos are from when we first got Hunter and his first day in the neighborhood. He is still my little baby just much bigger hehe. These are some of my favorite pictures! The rest will go in a Project Life page, since there are so many :) I bought some paper for myself to create the PL cards, I can't wait to play!

BoBunny Layout and Card

Its Wonderful Wednesday and summer is in full swing here; playing outside in the sprinklers, tank tops and afternoon showers.

I absolutely adore the local scrapbook store, The Creative Nook, and being on the design team is so much fun! Everyone is great, I get to see the new goodies come in and I always enjoy when I go visit. Here is a recent layout and card I made to be displayed in the store. Its been a while since I have created a layout and I love it! I need to spend some time just printing pictures so I can scrap more :)

Every time I create something and there is extra's I put them in a drawer which I call a "treasure box". I have had the sizzix flip card die for some time and wanted to try it out!  So with die in hand and the goodies from my treasure box I created the card below!

PP: BoBunny (Pop Quiz). Chipboard Element: Accucut (Heart). Pen & Chipboard ABC: American Crafts.

You Make It Challenge

Oppies this saved as a draft instead of posting ... im so sorry :P 

YAY its February already! I can't believe how fast the year is going by already. Well this month besides the fabulous sketch-a-thon that is going on at My Sketch World, I get to host a challenge (yay again).  So my challenge is called "you make it". Have you ever had a moment where you are at a scrappy store and you see something really cute and go "ohh I can make that", well now is your chance!

Ok the details ... scallop paper is from Bazzill (medium square green tea). scrunched fabric, is actually book binding tape from Making Memories, its an oldie but goodie! They also make the pins that are the flag post and some of the brads. Some of the knick knacks on the edge of the frame are just from my treasure chest in my art room, including the real lacoste shirt label :) The little green luggage is from Junkitz. The little glitter letters are from Creative Imaginations. The big foam letters are from American Crafts, who doesn't love thickers! Bo Bunny found its way to the page too, its the photo mat (:

Flags/Pendants ... so I'm thinking of posting a video and a template so you all can make your own ... what do you think? HINT: if your going to scraplift this page, I cut a line closer to the bottom and put the flagpole (pins) in there, so they are actually behind the layout, I also tucked in the patterened paper, this is a good trip so you don't have to worry about hiding or covering up the ends of the flagpoles :)

I'm Back & Thank You Cards

So as you can see its been a while since I've been able to post, I have still been scrapping some. I will be updating a lot, as I am on summer break now. I think I've finally adjusted to school, work and other activities :-)



Here is a quick peeky at the cards I've been working on. Creative Escape is working with Stephen to help collect 180,000 cards to give out to the troops! I have always been a big supporter for supporting the troops, even before I decided to become an Army Doctor. You can click the icon below to find out how you can help :-) The cards are all different (I think I've made at least 20 so far) some of the goodies are from: Baby Chick with Sparkler Stamp: Stampendous. All American Die Cut: Slice. Patterned Papers: Bo Bunny & Unknown. Glitter Pen: American Crafts. (If you don't have these glitter pens, I highly recommend getting them, there awesome!)
