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!

DIY Smash Book!

Hi All,

I belong to a Meet.up group that loves to do all things related to scrapbooking and crafting.  We had a meetup a few weeks ago making our own smash books using our own stash.  It was great and although we all did the same project everyone's books came out looking so different.

Here's mine:

I decided to use it as my inspirational book this year and a place to keep track of my creative projects.

Pets and Disney!

PETS AND DISNEY!  Just two of my favorite things.  My dog cookie and my favorite vacation spot-Disney World!  

We went to Disney World in August and I am just now getting around to scrapping some of the 3000 pictures I took! Don't worry I will not scrap all 3000, I will not even print out all the pictures. I do have a plan of attack. I bought a scrapbook at Disney World with a coordinating photo album. The photo album also has a DVD/CD holder. I plan to Scrapbook my very favorite photos (and the photos that have a story behind it) then place the extra photos in the album along with the CD in case we want to view the extras.

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:

Happy New Year

It seems that I missed the whole holiday season on this blog!  Sorry!  I had a very busy life up until Christmas and then took a whole week off. It was a glorious week off, it was a week off from work, a week off from running the kids around from event to event and a week from doing workshops.  I loved it!  It was so refreshing to be able to stay home, clean my house at a leisurely pace, I didn't have to worry about being somewhere at a particular time, I was able spend time with the family-watching movies & playing board games.  We even went into the city to see the Rockefeller Plaza Tree, shopped at American Girl, Lego & Nintendo stores and finished our day trip with a show at the Radio City Music Hall...The Christmas Spectacular.  We had pretty decent seats and my kids were so excited.
I have not scrapped these photos or any holiday photos from this year- I was able to finish a few from last year during PersonalScrappers New Years Crop!
Erica, the owner from PersonalScrapper.com is great-she gives us a whole week to finish up 10 challenges and then extended it for a few more days. 
Here is one layout for the enlarged photo challenge:

By the way the flower is cricut image that I received it from my meetup groups last cricut image swap. 

I will try to post again this week with a few more layouts. 

Until then, Adios amigos!
