Easter Layout LSS Week 1


How about those cuties? I recently signed up for a little Challenge called "Last Scrapper Standing". Sounds fun right? Each week a challenge will be posted on Crafty Swaps and Challenges on FB and you have to create a layout to match the challenge. If you do it you move on, if not you are eliminated. 

Week one uses the sketch below. Plus you had to use elements listed on the challenge.

1) I used a ribbon on my tag. Isn't that bunny cute? It is a print and cut from SVG Cuts ~ Cotton Tail Village SVG Kit.
He cut perfect on my Cameo.


2) I used more than one Patterned Paper. 
The little chick is from Fleurette’s recent kit called ~ Little Chicks Element Collection


3) I used a brad on my title. It is a recent freebie from SVG Cuts. Go grab it! Once again I did a print and cut.


and last but not least...
4) I used a button on camera. The papers are from Dear Lizzy.


So I've survived one week - we shall see if I am the Last Scrapper Standing! Maybe I'll get discovered for a reality scrapping show. 

One last thing before I leave - stop on over to the SVG Cuts store - they are having a sale which ends Wednesday!

Cards For You

WOW! It has been quite some time since I have blogged. Life has been a bit busy for me. I just came back from Las Vegas where I spent the week for work. It was a great time but I am sure glad to be back home with my family.

While I was away my SVG Design Team project was posted. Thought I'd share a few photos with you. I created 3 different cards and little card box to put them in. I thought this would make a perfect gift for someone. Include a pretty pen and some stamps and they'll be ready to roll!




Here is the box! It was a former recipe box so it even has the tabs to separate out the cards. Stop by the SVG Cuts Blog for all the details and more photos!


I am hoping to find some crafty time real soon - look at these beauties - free gift from SVG Cuts with purchase. Aren't they so pretty? Stop by and pick up the Cotton Tail Village SVG Kit today!


Have a great week!

Punkin Patch + A Sketch

Phew! I have been sick and haven't blogged in quite some time. I had the darn flu but feeling better now!

Here is a layout I recently created (I'm scrappin’ fall of 2011). I used the Basic Grey - Shine On 12x12 Pad for this one. I picked it up at Joanns. I was so excited to see Joanns carrying Basic Grey!


The diecuts for the pumpkin & leaves are from SVG Cuts ~ Thankful Cuties SVG Collection.
I just left off the little eyes. (Poor things!)


I embossed the elements and added flair from Paper Play Studios. Here is an up close look.


Here is a sketch for this layout. If you are scrapper go ahead and download it for future use!


Have a great day & weekend!

Howdy Partner!

Have you seen the latest Kit from SVG Cuts? ~ 
it’s AMAZING! It’s the Happy Trails SVG Kit and here is a look at all the elements:



I just love the 3D boot - so darn cute. I was in the mood to do some scrapping today so I decided to take all the elements and create a layout.


This page documents our Cub Scout banquet from last year. We had a western theme and each year the buys bake & decorate a cake to follow the theme. They really had fun making and eating the cakes.

Here are a few close ups: I used the print and cut of the little cowboy on my Cameo. After that was done I switched to my Eclips and cut the rest of the elements.


I used the freebie from yesterday on the little tag. You can grab the freebie here.


So if you are not into the 3D elements just goes to show they have plenty of elements for scrapbooking included in the kit! I just started doing scrapbook sketches. Here is one for today's layout. Go ahead and download for future use.


Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I'm Sketching!

This past weekend I attended a scrap weekend away. If you haven't experienced a weekend I would highly recommend one. It is a great way to connect with other crafters plus you do get alot of scrapping done. I have been wanting to try to create my own sketches for quite some time and decided to give it a try.

A scrapbook sketch is a guide to help you build your layout.
If you like it - go ahead and download it and create a page!


Here is my finished layout. Papers are from Best Creation - Back2School.
The scallop square is from SVG Cuts ~ Simon’s Simple Square Cuts.


The First Day of School title is from SVG Cuts ~ Miss Baker’s Classroom SVG Kit.


Love the flair from Paper Play Studios.


Hope you like my sketch - I have a bunch more to share with you. Please spread the word to your scrappin’ friends!

Have you seen the latest SVG Cuts Kit ~ SVG Cuts Sweets For My Sweet Kit? I'm looking forward to making some Valentine treats.

Shadowbox

Hope everyone had a great holiday and Happy New Year to you! I have been sick but got better just in time to get back to work. I am back on track now so all is good.

I am loving the color scheme of this shadowbox collage. It matches the room colors and  bet it looks great on the wall.

I started with a 12x12 shadowbox from Joanns. All elements cut on my Sizzix eclips.


I just love how this freebie flower/swirl turned out. It is from SVG Cuts 4/12/10.
I cut some extra flowers and layered them,
SVG Cuts has a bunch of great 3D flower kits - I'll have to try some others soon.

The background scallop circle is from Simon's Simple Square Cuts.


SVG Cuts has a fabulous new store and they are having a sale! 
Love the new large images in the store - it is just perfect for visual people like us crafters!
