The Swap That Wasn't.


Here is the card front that I created for the swap in Syracuse. I used the Vintage Vogue stamp set to create the backgrounds. I stamped the greeting and mounted the oval to a tag that I punched out using my Sizzlits Many Tags Die.




Well, today was my big day! I was so excited to have been registered for the Stampin' Up! Syracuse Regional Training Seminar! SU! doesn't regularly travel to NY, so I was thrilled to find out that they were going to be less than an hour away!


In January, I registered. Then I started planning and creating my card fronts for the organized swap that would be offered. So, I created 52 card fronts! I was so thrilled with the way that they turned out!




We are on our second snow day in a row. That leads to a 4 day weekend! We certainly have a lot of snow!


Enjoy!

Summer Soccer


Ryans favorite season of the year is "soccer season!" The boy loves to play, and has an amazing talent for the game!



These two pages pretty much explain themselves. They are simple! I used the Just Soccer set to stamp soccer balls and punched them out. I attached them with dimensionals. The Varsity Alphabet is one of my favorites when it comes to my sports layouts!

D is For Dog.


Here is a card that I made using my D is For Dog stamp set. I didn't have a lot of time, so I stamped the background with Creamy Caramel and Close To Cocoa. I cut out a black Labrador and added the tag.
The edge is scalloped with the FREE edge trimmer from the SAB catalog!

A Quickie!


Well, hello! I hope that you haven't given up on me! We have been out of town and I didn't get a chance to post. But, none the less it is Monday and we are back to the grind.
Here is a nice quick card that I made featuring DSP and the In Colors. It was very easy to make, but still looks so nice!
Have a good day!

A Little Non-SU!


Can you believe, that I just said that? That is a rarity for me! This football paper is from a stack that I had gotten at a retail store at some point. I stamped and cut out some footballs from Just Football and stuck them on with dimensionals. I also tied a little linen thread on there to add some detail.
Have a good day!

A Sweet Pea Page.


This page is of pictures from my parents house last summer. I used some of the Sweet Pea DSP, Sweet Pea felt flowers and some retired stitched felt ribbon. I loved the ribbon and am so glad that I still have some to use! It looks lovely with the flowers!
My journaling is done on the computer and adds a nice crisp finish!
Thanks for stopping in!

Flower Fusion!


This page is of a front page news article that the boys and I were in. I used the Flower Fusion flowers and various brads to add a bunch of color! I love how simple it is to make a cool page.
I don't usually get to add flowers to many of my scrapbook pages. So, when I get the chance I go all out!
I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and a piece of DSP to create this fun!
Have a good day!
