last but not least


Some quilling. Our stamp club learned about quilling last month. I got the Klutz book and they have the cutest designs. I just loved this octopus and frog. Quilling is lots of fun, somewhat time consuming though. I'd like to use some quilled designs on my scrapbook pages.

Another card


I made a few of these cards for my mom. Inside it says "you're under the weather". She always needs get well cards.

A few cards I made



I really love this embossing technique with the white core paper. I was going for a "bead board" look if that's what it's called. I'm into birds and scallops right now.

The Broken Leg


Seth's broken leg. That first cast was so cumbersome! Seth couldn't ride the bus, couldn't shower and the stairs were very difficult. It was taken off on Dec 28, the longest 4 weeks ever!

Cheerleading


And of course, Emma's short lived career as a cheerleader.

football page


A page for a great football photo, once I find it. This is my son's team.

attachment objects pages


This is the story of mutty. Not the mutty, but Mutty. A very long story of an attachment object.

I've been busy

Of course it's been busy. It's the holidays and for us, that is pretty much the entire month of December. Not to mention Seth broke his leg and it's been a huge hassle. I am going to post some cards and pages that I've been finishing up.

bandana technique



I've been playing with my Ranger inks, they are so versatile!

A blog by Robin Beam, http://pearlesq.blogspot.com, which I linked to from a Schmoozewithsuze newsletter. This fantastic blog is just oozing with creativity. This bandana technique really caught my eye and these are my first 2 attempts. I think they came out pretty good. The white gel pen really adds the "oomph" needed. I'm going to have to play some more with those inks. The new stamp set that Stampin' Up! just sent out will work well with this technique. Check it out!

Holiday gifts


I got this idea from www.scraptime.ca. I loved Christine's idea for a Christmas morning survival kit. Inside the tin are various items such as; a sharpie, hand lotion, emery board, nail clipper, scissors, pad of paper, hand sanitizer, mints, DVD opener,batteries, coffee and tea and other things we always seem to be looking for on Christmas morning. My daughter helped me make it and I'm sure Gramma will love it.

baby album

Baby Scrapbook

and here is the scrapbook. The binding was done with my Bind-it-all. The pages were all done with Stampin' Up! papers and scrapbooking kit. Thanks for looking

What I am doing


Okay, this is still a work in progress. I haven't found the best way to get a picture in here, but here goes. I've been working on some tins altering. The first is 2 band aid tins and the second picture is of a baby album I made for my brother and his wife, Kris for their first baby. I know she doesn't scrap so I made all the pages and all you have to do is add a picture and some journaling. I even sent a journaling pen in the package.
