All Fired Up to Scrap Layouts Part 2

The layouts I posted yesterday were all put together using PersonalScrapper.com kits.  Today's layouts were put together using Stampin Up products.  As most of you know I am a stampin up demonstrator and I love to bounce back and forth with Stampin Up products along with other manufacturers. 

This first layout is a layout I put together for my Spring Layout class.  It features the blossom & berries pattern paper and the mixed bunch stamp set with the coordinating punch.  I love this step because I then snipped off a few petals and made the flower into a butterfly, then tied some Lucky Limeade twine around for the body and antennae's.  The colors used are all part of the 2011-2013 In colors: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade & Wisteria Wonder.  This layout also features the lace border punch and the new framelits as a journaling spot.

This next layout was put together with the retired Spice Cake line!  I love the rich colors this paper has, it automatically made me think of Family!  I cut the designer paper into strips and adhered them onto the more mustard cardstock and made a background with them.  Then all I did was mat the photos onto Crumb Cake cardstock, I drew in some journaling lines and added a space cake button and I was done.  This was a quick and easy page:

The next two layouts were also created for my upcoming classes:

This is for the moms & cupcake class featuring the build a cupcake stamp set and coordinating  punch.  The cheerful treat designer paper is one of the many hostess sets you can earn when hosting a party.The colors on this page is so girly!  I can't wait to take pictures with my daughter and her friends at the new cupcake store in our area!

This last layout was created for my Easter class.  I used the Everybunny Stamp set.  It is soo cute!  I love the bunny and chick images!  The pattern paper is from the Spring Fever Simply Scrapping Kit.

And the clouds???  They were stamped on using the cupcake topper from the Build-a-cupcake stamp set.

Come back tomorrow to see some school layouts using Scenic Route products (I know they are no longer manufacturering but I still have A LOT of their paper and stickers!)

Layouts created at the All Fired Up Crop!

I had such a great time this weekend at the All Fired Up Crop at West Sayville, NY.
There were over 40 ladies scrapping, chatting and having a good time.  After procrastinating and walking around chatting with everyone, I finally settled down and committed to do a few layouts:

This layout was put together with PersonalScrapper's March 2012 Kit, the papers features Simple Stories Pattern Paper with American Crafts cardstock, there was all sorts of goodies, such as the Basic Grey embellies, various buttons and bling.  The journaling label (Scenic Route) was the only item added from my stash:

This second layout was put together with PersonalScrappers February 2012 Kit featuring Basic Grey Pattern Papers with American Crafts cardstock.  The layout was based on a sketch from Lisa Hidy one of the fabulous women from the Personal Scrapper Forum.
A tip to make banners like this: Cut Strips of paper to your desired width and length, then grab a square punch, angle to to your liking and punch.  If you align it just so you will have even sides on the banner.  To complete the page I used my Notes & Details Stamp from Stampin Up for the journaling:

The third layout was also made from PersonalScrappers Feb 2012 kit and another sketch from Lisa! (Can you tell I love her sketches!)   I added the Making Memories Journaling Die Cut and punched the smaller hearts from Stampin' Up's Heart to Heart Punch:



Time to get dinner on the table, come back tomorrow to see a few more layouts!

Christmas 2010 layouts

I know!  I am really late,I scrapped last years Christmas layouts during Personalscrappers New Years Crop last week. All I have left is Christmas 2011, I am ready to go.  The pictures are already printed and as soon as inspiration comes along I will work on it but don't be surprised if you see Christmas in July!
Until then, here are some of my layouts for 2010 layouts:

If you need an idea on what to do with all those Christmas cards you receive, try making a layout showcasing the photo cards with a pocket to hold all other Christmas cards like this layout here:

Remaining Octoberfest LOAD

Today is the last day for Personal Scrappers: Octoberfest L.O.A.D.  I uploaded all my photos for this month and I am so excited that I was able to get so many pages done!  I put together mostly sports and last years Halloween pictures!  It was a double incentive to this month, I have had the sports pictures piling up and I sometimes need a push to get them on page.  My next challenge is getting all these layouts (and a few others) into albums!

Now onto my remaining layouts:

Back To School On-Line Crop

A Back to School On-Line Crop is going on at http://www.personalscrapper.com/.  You do not need to be a member to join, but you do need to register into the forums.  I love these on-line crops they always come up when I am feeling the creative process going into a burn-out.  It is just the right amount of push (inspiration) to get me going again and i don't have to pack a single thing.  I all happens at home when the kids are sleeping!
This layout was inspired by the 9 squares challenge.  Well I went a little overboard and put a few more in but without the challenge- my layout would have looked a little differently.  This layout was also inspired by a sketch released at Sketch Support.  I am a big fan of double page layouts and this is my go to place for double page sketches!  I used the PersonalScrapper May 2011 Kit using Basic Grey PP.  The circle and lable punchs are from stampin up.  The chipboard circles are Scenic Route and unknown white and blue buttons.

My next layout was based on the Summer Recap Challenge!  I put together a quick single page layout using PersonalScrapper's June 2011 Kit featuring Jillibean Watermelon Gazpacho Soup line:

Pool Party was created under the gallery scraplift challenge: I lifted Kelly's (My3Boys) layout Backyard beauties.  Her layout was stretched from a 1 page to 2 pages.  All materials are from the Personal Scrapper June 2011 Kit featuring Jillibean's Watermelon Gazpacho Soup.

I based this layout on the Use PersonalScrapper Kits only challenge- that wasn't too difficult since most of my layouts used personalscrapper kits.  I used the August 2011 Kit featuring My Mind's Eye Lime Twisht Fly a Kit collection.  I made the banner using stampin' up new banner punch. 

We had the opportunity to do one of the Summer Camp challenges.  Since I had not gotten around to it yet- I chose Erica's July 4th Challenge.  I used the June 2011 Kit again.  I am getting a lot of mileage on this kit and still have plenty of paper left!

The last layout for today was based on the Alphabet Background Challenge:  The challenge was to create your own alphabet background so I pulled out a few sheets of stickers and made the strip of alphas going down the left side.  I used an old PS add-on kit featuring Papertrunk's Wrangler kit.

I hope to get a few more layouts and projects done this weekend!   Till then Happy Friday!!!

52 Weeks of Challenges at PersonalScrapper.com!!

I have seriously been slacking on the 52 weeks of challenges- so I decided to do a few to catch up this weekend and fulfill the summer camp challenges (Love 2 for 1's)
This layout was based on the Memories Challenge- I found this picture of my dd at 6months old that I want to scrap:

Layout was put together using the echo park playground pp, thickers, kaisercrafts rhinestones and fiskars punch (ribbon was in my stash-I don't remember where it is from)

Next layout was based on Debbie's Camp Challenge she listed 20 items that the layouts must have and I was able to have 19 items:

Most items are from Stampin' Up except for the Corrugated alphas: Jillibean, sequin ribbon: Maya Road 

Next layout is based on Debbies Camp challenge: Red for sunburn, bumps for mosquito bites, numbers for SPF rating:

I will be spending the next couple of days catching up on the rest!!!  Stay tuned or join in on the fun of PersonalScrappers.com 52 Weeks of Challenges.

Has it really been almost a whole month since I last posted?? Well it has not been because I have not been creating....life seems to be finally slowing down! Dance recitals have been performed, soccer and baseball season has ended and a brownie bridging ceremony has come and gone.
I have loads of layouts to upload so keep a look out!
Here are some layouts I created at Tiffany and Naomi's arts & scraps crop in Northport. Attended the 2nd half of the 12 hr crop and was able to get 8 layouts done. 8 layouts in 6 hours is pretty good for me, I tend to scrap 1 layout an hour. I had a plan and stuck to it. I had some layouts from my trip to Newport, RI last summer and wanted to use up some of my older personal scrapper kits. These papers are from Papertrunks Gigi collection.  The punched flower is the new triple flower punch from Stampin' Up.  It is three punches all packed into one unit!  The notebook punch is a retiring item from stampin' up.  It is available until June 30th then its gone forever!  The wine glass I created with the cricut expression 2 the cartridge is already preloaded into the system.

Another layout using Papertrunks Gigi collection:

Stamped images are from Stampin' Up's Summer mini catalog (Travel log set)
On this next layout, my husband and I were out site seeing & shopping and came across this Pirate Shop.  My son is a big fan of Pirates so we decided to go in- the owner was quite a character and claims to be a descendant of an actual Pirate Family that settled in Newport, RI a long, long time ago....
Papers used were from an old Karen Foster Pirate line and Martha Stewarts Halloween line:

Since I was scrapping last years summer photos I decided to work on some photos I took during the Jones Beach Air Show during Memorial Day Weekend:

I used another PersonalScrapper kit using Pink Paislee papers and a Ali Davis Sketch from Scrapbook Generations:

Feeling Patriotic, I decided to next put together a layout on my brothers return from Iraq:

(I don't remember where the camagflouge paper & cork board papers are from- they have been in my stash for over 6 years!!!)  Star pp is also from Pink Paislee.  Star Punch is from Stampin up- it is another item that is retiring.  The label sticker &grid paper is from Scenic Route with Tattered Angels Sunflower Glimmer mist sprayed on it. (The white was just too bright for the rest of the layout):

I also decided scrap another group of photos during Memorial Day weekend.  The papers, flower & letter stickers are from the same Starlight collection from Pink Paislee with Chalk rubbed all over.

Wow this is a long post!  I have more layouts to share but I will save those for tomorrow.  Enjoy and have a great day!
