A Quick 6 X 6 page.


Here is a quick page that I did of one of "my little girls." I used colors to match her shirt. Green and purple are not necessarily colors that I would use together, but it worked here. I used my Big Shot to cut out the butterflies.

Enjoy your day!

Here is another Christmas page. Again, keeping it clean and simple. The DSP is from last year. And, I added some Old Olive, Real Red and Chocolate Chip cardstock for backgrounds.


I am hoping to get to some more fun stuff later this week!

Another Christmas Page!


Seeing all of these Christmas pictures with the tree included makes me want to go cut ours down! It is so easy to get me into the Christmas spirit. Yesterday, at church we made our Advent wreaths for the tabletop. Cutting and assembling all of those greens really got me in the spirit!

Again, this page uses retired SU! Designer Series Paper along with some retired Chocolate Chip satin ribbon! I was so excited to see the new mini catalog that will be available in January because there are about 10 colors of this faboulous satin ribbon available! Boy, I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Speaking of the mini catalog, we have a lot of upcoming changes! SU! is going to be offering clear mount stamps and blocks. They are also redoing their punch style! So stay tuned for more information.

A Christmas Layout


Even though it is from last year, this is a Christmas layout that I did last week. I used my Delightful Decorations stamp set and punch. The paper is from last years Christmas DSP and/or scrapbooking kit.



I usually struggle with my Christmas layouts. I try to think out of the box, but usually end up going back to greens and reds. This DSP added some color that I normally don't use while allowing me to enjoy the traditional red and green!
Have a good day!

I have had some time to scrapbook!


Recently, I was able to devise a plan to get some scrapbooking done. Ever since I started scrapbooking I was up to date with my photos. The more pictures I had the more I would scrapbook. Well, within the last year my scrapbooking has taken a back seat to so many things. I always enjoy doing "current" pictures as opposed to last years events. But, I fell behind.
Little by little I have been able to work on it here and there. This page is a current one for our refrigerator. These are the family pictures that we just had taken 2 weeks ago. I am thrilled with the way that the pictures came out. And, I love this page!
The snowflakes are done with my Big Shot and the sizzlit snowflakes. I stuck a brad in each snowflake. The ribbon is the real red polka dot ribbon from SU! I have found that I stick to my SU! stuff for 95% of my scrapbooking. It is so easy to mix and match colors!
Have a great day!

Simple Snowflakes.


This is another card that we did at the last workshop. Again, I tried to stick with straight stamping. The colors that I used were Real Red, Night of Navy and Sage Shadow. It is a little out of the ordinary, but came together nicely. I was expecting a rather large crowd, so I had to choose a ribbon that I had a lot of. And, that was Sage Shadow.
Thanks for checking in.

A Simple Christmas Card



Here is a card that I made for a recent workshop that I had some "new" stampers at. I try to keep these workshops simple so that no one is overwhelmed. I used the Home For Christmas stamp set. I stamped it in Chocolate Chip ink and colored it with the water color pencils. Then I used the two way glue pen and added some dazzling diamonds.

Have a good day!
