Pat's Fans

Just in time for the Patriots/SF game this weekend, I thought I'd show a little team spirit!!!  We have a lot of rabid Pats Fans in our neighborhood, so you know if there's a big game, there's a party!  This picture of all the neighborhood kiddo's sporting their Pat's gear is from one of those parties last year!

 

 

I used paper and stickers from Authentique's Original Collection and Sketch 225 from Creative Scrappers.  I added some red Bo Bunny Ledger paper to cover all the team's colors.

 

I love Authentique's stickers...they always have great words to go along with their papers.  The stars were cut using the Star Stax MFT Die namics.

I created a stick pin using a Maya Road Bingo number and added a little Twinery Twine to dress it up.   That's it for today...off to try to recreate my address list (sadly lost when my laptop died last May...)  so I can send out my Christmas cards!

Some Apple Cider

Hi Everyone,
I'm back with a layout I created for the DT over at Right at Home Scrapbooking.  I got to play with some Apple Cider by Bo Bunny which was perfect for my apple picking pic from Labor Day weekend.

 

Love this pic of my daughter and her friend, they're so cute!  The weather was gorgeous...still very warm, and the apples were so sweet!

 

I created a little sun accent by cutting a circle and stitching some rays.

 

The apples were fussy-cut from the "Orchard" paper in the Apple Cider Collection. The banner is an MFT Die namic Banner Day Stax and some Honeydew and Cappuccino Twinery Twine.

 

Apple Cider also comes with some awesome stickers...including these word stickers and a variety of alphas.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with a layout for The Twinery and Write, Click, Scrapbook!

June Layout Workshop

I'm so happy to be back posting...I've been a week without a laptop.  My old one died and I've been patiently (OK, not really...) awaiting my new one.  It finally arrived today, and I'm busy trying to get it all set up.  I figured it might be nice to update my blog since it has remained untouched since late last week.  I was not going to try to do a blog post using my iPhone!

Here's the layout for tomorrow night's Layout Workshop over at Right at Home Scrapbooking.  The picture is of my sweet girl Rosie.  The layout is based on sketch 202 from Creative Scrappers.

I used some fun papers from Bo Bunny's Alora Collection...I LOVE the bright and cheery colors and patterns, they make me so happy!  I also used some MFT Die namics for some of the flowers and the butterfly....and of course a bit of charcoal twine from The Twinery!

I'll be back soon with some more posts.  I'm a bit backlogged since I had no computer.  Also, don't forget to check back next week for a fun blog hop with The Twinery and My Little Shoebox!

Layout Workshop Peek

It's time for a peek at the layout we'll be creating at this Friday's Layout Workshop at Right at Home Scrapbooking. We'll be playing with some Bo bunny Ad lib papers and some liquid pearls.... here's a peek...

I love the colors in this line, so bright and cheery. I added some punched circle flowers...I thought they coordinated well with the patterns in the papers.
I also added some perfect pearls to the dots on the background for a little sparkle and shine!

If you're interested in joining the layout workshop, give the ladies at Right at Home Scrapbooking a call to reserve your spot!

Yesterday

This week my husband and I celebrated our 19th Anniversary. I have a hard time believing we've been married that long. I think I may have to give up telling everyone I'm 29... it's beyond the respectable limits at this point! Since I had a post due for LCOM on our anniversary I thought it would be perfect to scrap our wedding photo. I still haven't done a book for our wedding... talk about a bit behind... someday I'll get to it! Here's the layout I created using Bo Bunny's Garden Girl Line.



I love the chipboard pieces that come with this line, I used the leafy flourish as a backdrop for the flowers I die cut using MFTs new Prima Donna Petals Die namic.

The butterfly was "fussy cut" from the Garden Girl Paper.

That's all for now... it was fun to look back many years (and a couple of dress sizes!) Check out the Bo Bunny Garden Girl Collection Kit at LCOM! You'll love the colors and patterns!

Some Bo Bunny Layouts

I've been a bad blogger this month!!! Just realized I haven't posted for over 2 weeks! It's been busy... We spent some time down the Cape and we just got back from a week in Florida...now, back to reality, 100 degrees and a lot of laundry!

This month, I got to work with Bo Bunny's Liberty Line for my DT projects at Right at Home. I really love all things Bo Bunny!!! Here are my layouts... both featuring pictures from the Chatham, MA 4th of July parade in 2010.This first LO, Celebrating Freedom shows my daughter, husband and mom enjoying breakfast on the church lawn, while waiting for the parade. I painted the chipboard letters to match the colors and used the MFT stars Die namic.
This next LO is based on a sketch by Frances Sylvia for Right at Home. It's my daughter and some of our favorite parade floats. The banner is the round banner Die namic from MFT.
That's it for now... I'll be back next week with some layouts done for Let's Capture our Memories using Fancy Pants Beach Babe line... stay cool!

An Ad-Lib Mini

Hi Everyone..I'm back with another project for Let's Capture Our Memories using Bo Bunny's Ad Lib line. I decided to to a mini album to document an award my daughter received for Youth Art Month. She designed a flag that was chosen to represent the State of Massachusetts at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. It was really exciting, we took a trip down to D.C. for the festivities and got to meet with Congressman McGovern and Senator Brown from Massachusetts!
I scanned her design and used it for the cover art of a Prima Canvas album which I painted and added the ribbon trim.

There were so many brochures, invitations and letters of congratulations that I decided to make envelopes and put them into the clear inserts that came with the album.

It really was a fun album to put together! Stop by LCOM to check out all of the Bo Bunny Ad-Lib goodies!

Ad Lib at LCOM

Hi... just wanted to share a layout I did for the Let's Capture Our Memories Marketing Team this month. I was very excited to get to work with Bo Bunny's Ad Lib. The colors in this line are fantastic!! It's definitely one of my all time favorites!! I had a lot of fun with this layout... last year we took our daughter to her first concert... Taylor Swift. She had such a great experience. I chose to make the journalling a major part of my layout because the story was so fun! I also wanted to include the ticket stubs as well. Since there was a lot going on with the journalling, I kept the rest simple with a cute little border using MFT's Banner Die-namic and some of the fun rub-ons from the Ad-lib line.

That's all for now... stop by LCOM to check out the entire Bo Bunny Ad Lib line!

Layout Club Project

Hi Everyone... just wanted to share a layout that I created for the Layout Club at Right at Home Scrapbooking. It's a great club, each month we get a kit to work with and create layouts to share at our meeting. In the meeting we do a project as well! It's a great way to get caught up!

This month we got to work with Basic Grey's Marjolaine line. I LOVE this line.. blues, greens, browns, it's right up my alley! Here's what I came up with:

This is a picture my mother, husband, daughter and me on the front steps of the Chatham Bars Inn. We go there each summer to celebrate my parents' anniversary. I based the layout on Creative Scrappers's sketch 146.

I had lot of fun with the flower embellishments and I couldn't resist adding some cute butterflies made from MFT's Die-namics butterflies.

I finished it all up with some machine and hand stitching. I'm really happy with how this came out!! Well I'm off to the Crop on the Cape this weekend... I'm hoping to be very productive!!

It's About Time!

After two years of talking about it, I finally got my act together and joined the blogging world! I know that many of my good friends are saying, "It's about time, we're tired of hearing you talk about it!" Well, now they don't have to listen to me complain anymore!

I got to show off my new blog design (created by the VERY talented Kristine Davidson) this weekend at the Right at Home Scrapbooking Winter Crop. What a fun weekend we had. I took my daughter Caroline and we spent the weekend scrapping and laughing with a wonderful group of ladies! I wasn't terribly productive, but I did get a couple of projects started. One thing I started was a mini binder to hold all of the MFT Die-namics I've been accumulating. I was getting tired of losing them, looking for them, finding them and losing them again, so I figured it was time to find a better solution. Here's what I came up with.

The album is a 6x6 Bo Bunny Binder and I've decorated it with the new Basic Grey line Hopscotch. LOVE the Hopscotch paper... it's so cute! The chipboard pieces and felt flowers are awesome! To hold the Die-namics I found some 6x6 tie envelopes from a company called PaperPresentation. I replaced the chipboard pages of the album with these envelopes and decorated them with the die cuts they contain. I'm not completely done (I still have a few more Die-namics ) but I'm well on my way!

It really was a fun project to create! We might even be making it into a class at Right at Home! I'll post details when it's scheduled!

That's it for now... I'll be back soon with some more creations from my scrap weekend!
