Some of the patterned papers by Crate Papers My Mind's Eye, Making Memories, and possibly Colorbok. Ribbon by Offray and brad is unknown.

Summer Fun 2006 at the cottage scrapbook Layout

This book is of my nephew is coming together. 

In fact, I just scrapbooked his senior picture. 

I'm about to print prom and graduation day pictures.

This layout makes me happy because I was able to use SO many old products from my stash and you can't tell. 

The swimming stamps-Stampin Up 

The sentiment is by-Colorbok (Summer Fun)

There are no die-cut

Border sticker by the sunglasses stamped image-Mrs. Grossman's

Patterned papers by-Crate Papers (shaped background), Provo Craft (wavy blue),  My Mind's Eye (stripes), Queen and Co (polka dots), Unknown (fish paper to the right)

I love the sunglasses stamp. It's on a tab that comes in these ephemera packets and I never use them.

I should find someone to exchange ephemera packs with. I get sick of the same pieces and therefore only use a small portion of them. Anyway, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Distress markers colored on the back of the rubber stamps allow me to get multiple colors on my stamps.

Colorful and a bit obnoxious butterfly card

This card was donated to someone turning 40. So altogether the sentiment reads, “Sparkle and Shine, Say goodbye to 39.”

The butterfly stamps with matching dies are by Recollections

The embossed background is by Cuttlebug

The corner die-cuts are by Sizzix and the sentiment sticker is by Crate Paper

Sitting here...Thinking of you card

The bird on the branch was originally an ATC that I thought with a few added bits, it would make a nice card.

I made the sentiment by stamping these alphabet letters stamps from the dollar bin at Michael’s.

They are the second generation stamped.

 The dry embossing is a Cuttlebug folder.

The polkadot patterned paper is by Crate Papers. 

The inside sentiment says, “thinking of you”.

So all together it says, “Sitting here thinking of you”.

This will make a nice donation card.

1971 Paisley Pocket Page and Scrapbook Layout

I have to say, It was fun to use purple.

I used my Cricut to make the year die-cut

The paisley patterned paper is by Die Cuts With a View

Other patterned papers that are here and there are by Creative Memories and Crate Paper. 

On the second page, I used stamps by Close to my Heart for the year. 

I really like this stamp set because it has great bold numbers in easy to read fonts. 

The black ink by Hero Arts also helps to make it stand out.

The right side border includes:

The Die Cuts with a View paisley paper 

Creative Memories paper and journal box

Border punch by Fiskars.

Sketches in Thyme Project Life

I have a pocket scrapbook layout for today. It's my day over at Sketches in Thyme Project Life and this is the sketch for this week:

I'm endlessly working on books for my husband's brothers. My  pages are kind of plain but there are 5 boys total and things need to get done. A little motto for me this year:

"It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to get done." quote by me- at least I think it's original. 

Anyway, for this card I used patterned paper for the background by Die Cuts with a View. I'm not sure about the yellow cardstock or the paper behind the photo but I did use a circle punch by Stampin Up and then alphabet stamps by Oriental trading Co with black ink by Hero Arts. The pencils and ruler, that I cut in half to have something for both sides, are stickers by EK Success.

The upper left patterned paper is by Bazzill and the rest is either by Die Cuts with a View or Crate Paper. I used the same small letter stamps and black ink as above. On the third card, the ink is distress ink Mustard Seed (Ranger) and the number stamps are by Stampin Up. In this layout, I used stickers by The Girl's Paperie, Echo Park, Crate Paper, and Jolee's. On the yellow circle with the 8, there are eight candles stamped by Hero Arts and then there is a butterfly stamp by Cloud 9 Designs behind the celebrate sticker.

Thanks for looking. I hope to see you tomorrow.

Shell Thank You Card

I have a nice and easy to put together kind of card today. The background patterned paper is by Crate Paper and I adhered a piece of white cardstock that has been dry embossed with The Paper Studio folder. The patterned paper to the left of the shell is by Creative Memories and to the right is brown cardstock by Coredinations. The seashell stamp is by Stampin Up, box stamp around the shell is by Fiskars and the thanks circle stamp is by American Crafts. I stamped them all with Colorbox chalk ink. The seashell was trimmed to a square but the sentiment is on a Clearly Besotted die cut.

Thanks for looking.

Sketches in Thyme Project Life

It's my turn at Sketches in Thyme Project Life challenge blog. Here is the sketch and what I did with it:

For my card I started with off white cardstock by Recollections and stamped a dotted square stamp by Fiskars with brown SU ink. I die cut the Die Cuts with a View patterned paper with a Spellbinders rectangle die. I used a Cloud 9 Designs quote stamp for the sentiment and added brown cardstock (Coredinations) corners to the edges. Those edges have been stamped with a Weathered Wall Deep Red Stamps background stamp with brown ink. I added a Jenny Bowlin banner to the card with the baby's name on it. 

 For the rest of the pocket page I used patterned paper by Crate Paper and Die Cuts with a View. I stamped labels on some of the cards with a small alphabet stamp and brown ink both by Stampin Up. I continued to add the brown Weathered Wall stamped image around some of the squares by way of the corners or I used a strip of it on two photos. In the bottom right corner besides the baby's name I stamped Holy Baptism (Mark's Finest Papers) and then the cross (Clear Dollar Stamps) with the same ink and on the same paper.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Studio Designs FBF Pie

Today for 24 hours only this digi is a freebie on the Sassy Studio Designs closed FB group. Become a member of this group by clicking the Join tab on the right and an administrator will welcome you to the group. It's that easy.

I printed this digi out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers and colored pencils. I really like the way she turned out. The patterned paper is by Crate Paper and the yellow and brown circle cardstocks are scraps from my stash. I did cut the circle out using the Cricut and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. The jute is by Tim Holtz and I secured it in the middle with a brown brad. The sentiment stamp is by Stampabilities that I stamped with brown Colorbox pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder by Stamp N Plus.

Just a Perfect Day

 I'm doing my final Flashback Friday image for Sassy Studio Designs today. This polka dot bikini Sassy will be at a lower cost then the regular digi's but only for one week. So hurry and get yours before the week is up.

I colored her in with Copic markers and fussy cut her out. The grey background paper is by Quick Quotes and the yellow patterned paper is by Crate Papers. There is a piece of yellow vellum over the patterned paper behind the body of Sassy but I'm not sure who it is by. The sun is a chipboad piece by Maya Road that I painted with yellow acrylic paint by Pebbles. I punched out a small circle out of Die Cuts with a View yellow glitter paper and adhered it behind the sun. The sentiment sticker is by Three Bugs in a Rug. I'm not sure about the wave stickers or the ribbon. They have both been in my stash for a long time.

Thanks for looking.
