In Review

I can't believe another year is coming to an end. Seems the older I get, the faster it goes.  

Did you get accomplished all you wanted to do in 2012? I thought I would share some of my favorite scrappy pages that I did throughout the year.

I have Scrapped!

I haven't been feeling very inspired scrappy wise lately. I have only created two layouts all month! And both of them have happened in the past few days.

I have lived in Southern Texas for 16 years, so it was nice when I received some snow pictures of my son Rick and my grand daughter Rachel playing in the snow. I never get to do snow layouts. These are both pretty simple layouts, but I am happy with the way they turned out.

the first one "Snow Angels"

the second one "Enjoying the SNOW"

Maybe 2013 will begin with more productivity from me.

Canvas Art

Oh how relaxing it is to sit and paint. I turn on a book on tape and get lost in the story for hours while I paint.  I did these two canvas's for my grand daughters Kalista and Laila's bedroom. I just love the bright cheerful colors. I chose these specifically for their room when I won them recently on My Color by Pantone's blog hop. I had never used their paints before, but I can tell you, I am a BIG fan now. They are so creamy and rich and glide right on. No, I am not being paid in any form for my opinion. They truly are great.

ok...on to the canvas's. 

I love how they turned out and can't wait to go hang them in their 

room.

Name Banner

Are you ready to take a break from your Christmas shopping and holiday preparations?  Well sit on down and get creative. This weeks challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot is to create a banner. Any type of paper banner. I made a banner for Dax's room. Poor child should never forget his name, as I have it all over his room...LOL.

I tacked it on the front of a shelf. I think it fits in perfectly with his old cars and street sign decor. (I know....the little heart cut out in the shelf doesn't really work...lol)

I ran the alphas through the Cuttlebug then gave them a good sanding.

Here is a close up of the flags that I created in Inkscape.

I can't wait to see what you create! Be sure to upload it before December 16th for you chance to win $20 Boys Bucks from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits

Winter Wishes

Three weeks until Chiristmas!   SHUT UP!.....REALLY?

I have not bought not even one gift!  ohhh how my hubby hates this....year after year, he tells me to shop throughout the year....only I can't! I am not good at keeping gifts hidden. I always want to give them to the person I bought them for, just to make them feel good.

I think what makes the time go so fast is the weekly challenge over at The Cuttlebug Spot. Seems like I just posted last weeks challenge and here it is time for another challenge. This week it is about "Seasons". With the winter season upon us, some are already thinking of a nice spring day, or a sunny summer's day at the beach. Which ever is your favorite, we would like to see your creation reflecting one of the 4 season's.

I chose the winter season. I LOVE snowmen, so I got to work in Inkscape and created this cutie.

 

What is your favorite season? I hope you get a chance to play along with The Cuttlebug Spot this week!

Be Jolly

Scrap Sandwich...that is the challenge this week at The Cuttlebug Spot. What is a  Scrap Sandwich?, you ask. Well, it is just using scraps and layering them up. easy peasy!  All of us paper crafters have TONS of scraps, so this is the challenge to use them up!

Here is my Scrap Sandwich.

I based this from a Thinking of You card I made a long time ago. Actually, it is identical except for the sentiment. I of course used all my scraps and sandwiched them together. (obviously....I like saying scrap sandwich...LOL!)

I hope you can join us this week, and remember to head over to The Cuttlebug Spot and see what the other DT members have sandwiched together.

Thanks for stopping by!

You Rock

Gosh these weeks just seem to fly by! Here it is time for another weekly challenge with The Cuttlebug Spot.  This weeks challenge is to incorporate feathers. Any type of feathers, the real thing, stamped, die cut, or even metal.

For my project, I used Cricuts Rock Princess cartridge.

I love this heart and wing cut. For the background, I ran it through the Cuttlebug. I had to do this in two steps due to the card stock being larger than the embossing folder. The little border is normally a single svg cut. I copied it, then flipped it, then welded them together. I ran some hot pink embroidery floss through the slits that are already in the design. I stamped the word "you" on the heart. This is another card for my grand daughter Josslyn. Joss absolutely LOVES receiving these in the mail. I can't wait until the others get older and love receiving cards from Oma too.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
