Love

WOW its been a while again since a post i have to get back into this!  Anyway here is page featuring the new Bo Bunny Line #forever young paper and embellies, I LOVE THEM  I love the colours, they are so bright a fun.  We gave some of this paper away at the retreat this past weekend   This is what I came up with when I started playing around with the fun shapes in the papers.  They just screamed "cut me out"  I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, however when I actually do it I am so pleased with the results!

This paper looks like coark board, and even the little buttons are so adorable.  I tried to play them up a bit by clustering other embellies around them!  I added a little of the Close to my heart Thick twine and some of their glitter tape as well.  The edges were distressed with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress ink pad.

Lily

Awe Lily, you are one of the weirdest cats I have ever known. We have so many names for you, the kids call you LiL, and sometimes "rat-tail" cuz your tail is so small.  You are so small, really,  And sometimes we call you "Spill" because your belly spills out when you sit down!  Thats love Lily!  I enjoyed making this single page layout.  The vibrant blues of this photo called for a striking page so I used a grain pattern from Kaiser Kraft and their denim as well. CTMH cardstock to break it up a bit.  Then load it up with flowers and embellies.  I love this page, the best part if the pipe cleaner flowers.  I learned the day that I made this page when I was at Unique Retreat, a number of teachers were also there and they told be they are called cochineal sticks....I laughed and laughed, seriously??/!!!!  

Wonder

I am really happy how this turned out, I love the rick colours form the Prima paper!!!  I used Simple Stories and Prima paper, flowers and chipboard, BoBunny brads, Close to my heart embellishments and twine.  This was a very special photo, I just love Carter and Sienna so much any moment to capture that in a photo is a great moment.  Sadly I do not get out form behind the lens as often as I should but I made a goal in the coming years that I must get more of these photos!!!

In a Class All Your Own!

I really loved this colour palette (Challenge #11) for www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com.  The colours matched so well with my new stuff from CTMH.  I love this stamp of the denim pocket, its a two part stamp that really comes out like denim!  Also used in this layout CTMH patterned paper, canvas stickers and twine.  The Brads are BoBunny, the banner sticker is Simple Stories and Washi Tape.

 

Some Cards for my awesome Dad's

I am fortunate to have two wonderful Dad's in my life!  I know Father's Day is kinda outdated now, but I have not actually seen my fathers to give them their cards yet!  So its not out-dated to me!  Yay this weekend I will see both of them!  My father who mainly raised my brother and I, has always been been my "go-to" parent, I love him dearly and although he is a very busy man, we always pick up where we left off, and when I need to talk he is always right there, even if that means we talk by phone!  He has always supported my decisions, even if he did not agree they were the best ones.  He has always been there "no matter what", truly that is what makes him my AWESOME DAD!

This is the card for Step-DAD, I love him dearly as well and for different reasons.  Entirely due to me, we had a rough start a long time ago, I made it hard for he and I to get close.  He was persistent on being the great guy that he is and we are now friends.  He has been a wonderful support for me thru think and thin and he is one heck of a Grandpa to my children.  Thanks GG!

Boys Rule

I am loving the way this page turned out!  So much fun, I had been so busy this past week I had not scrapped, I sat down last night a pulled this off in less than an hour, phew that felt good!

I used products from a kit I picked up from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits at Scrapfest in Kitchener back in April.  The patterned paper and stickers; Simple Stories, brads; BoBunny, the stickers; Basic Grey and the Die; is by Memory box, it was purchased from Scrapn with Flair!

Momma Love

I made these cards for my Mom and my partners Mom, there is just something
really special about a Mother's Day card, don't you think?

I used some neat tricks I learned from Vicki Boutin when I took one of her classes at Crop&Create in Markham, in January.  In this class we learned a ton of great techniques including what you see here, slamping on inked cloth and that supper cute crate paper flower!  Vicki is a great teacher, if you get the chance to take her class I highly recommend it! Using some of the leftover supplies from what we created in class I created this card for my Mom, she was at the class with me so could really appreciate it.  Paper used here is Authentique as well as the tags, the brads are BoBunny and stamps from Close to My Heart!

Here is a close up of the flower!  

This card was for my new Mom-IL and she loves sheep!  I found this stamp at local king rubber stamps!  So cute!  I know she would love them, I also used Basic Grey paper and letter stickers and CTMH cardstock for the base.  

Sweet design for Challenge #4

I really loved this colour palette.  I had the perfect photos from our strawberry picking adventure last summer to put with it.  Check out the other design teams work at http://www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.ca/ this challenge due date is May 31st, and the prize to win is so lovely, be sure to click the link above and check it out and play along!  

I used Echo Park This & That it has such great summer colours! I added a small slice of Authentique, some Basic Grey stickers, BoBunny brads and Close to My Heat acrylic stamps and ink

I picked up these banners at scrapfest in Kitchener in April and sprayed them with ink, they curled up a bit so I had to tug on them a bit but I love the weathered look as well.

Also found this canvas flower and prayed it too, so cute!
