Memories

I almost forgot to post this layout I did for the MFT Fan Club over at Right at Home Scrapbooking.  We got to play with some festive papers from BasicGrey and the new Poinsettia MFT Die namic.

I love this picture from 2005 of my niece reading the Christmas Story to my daughter.  Just too cute!

 

 

In addition to the Poinsettia Die namic, I used the Journal-it Calendar Basics stamps to create a little calendar embellishment.

 



I'll be back Sunday with a layout for Creative Scrappers!

MFT Fan Club-November

Happy November everyone!  Just wanted to do a quick post to show you the layout I created for this month's MFT Fan Club over at Right at Home Scrapbooking.  I got to play with some Lily Bee Victoria Park.  I love the fun colors in this collection.  They went perfectly with the crazy "selfies" of my daughter and her good friend. (again, I'm so happy for cell phone cameras...it's the only way I get pics of my teen and her friends these days!)  The title is BFFLs...for those of you not into text lingo...Best Friends for Life...

I based my layout on a sketch from the Lily Bee site back in August (here) I used some of the Flag Stax Die namics and I'm in love with the new Sunflower.  It's great for layering and dimension! 

I actually did some "spritzing"...I know, brave for me... and LOVE the little hearts floating across the page!

That's it for today, I'm back soon with more layout from Right at Home and my first reveal for Creative Scrappers!

October MFT Fan Club

Just a quick post to give you a peek at this month's MFT Fan Club Layout.  We'll be using some MME's Stella and Rose Papers (some of my all-time faves!) and tons of MFT Die namics...take a peek.

 

My mom took this picture of their harvest this year...quite the bounty and that's not even all of it!  I was lucky, they saved the biggest for me!

I love the Primitive Pumpkins Die  namic... so cute!  And of course I had to embellish them with a little Cappuccino Twinery twine!  That's it for today...I'll be back with some more craftiness soon!

Fin-Addicts

I'm back with a layout I created for this month's MFT Fan Club at Right at Home Scrapbooking. It's a much more "manly" layout than my usual...but I needed to give the guys equal time!

 

This is Ed and his best friend Dan doing what they love to do....fish.  Thus the reason for my title,

Fin-addicts...which also happens to be the name of our boat!  I used the Note to Self collection from Echo Park...it's full of fun graphics like the tickets and arrows.  It coordinated perfectly with some of the new Die namics from MFT, including the arrows from the Lead the Way set.

 

The banner was created from the Flag Stax MFTs and of course some flax twine from The Twinery.  I'll be back later this week with a DT Layout for Right at Home!

Back to Scrapping!

It's been a very long 6 weeks, but I'm happy to say that I'm finally almost back to normal (or my version of it...!)  My back surgery was a success...no more pain and I can walk around without cringing!  I still can't lift anything over 5 lbs...but that just means that I get help with laundry and groceries!  I'm also able to get back to scrapping, which makes me very happy!

I was able to complete my layout for this month's MFT Fan Club... a fun one using Little Yellow Bicycle's Paradise line.  I love these pictures from our cruise last spring...our first day on the boat and Ed and Caroline enjoying a refreshing drink (no alcohol for Caroline!!!)

I used MFT's new Hibiscus die...love the leaves.

I also used the new MFT Vanity License Plate die and stamps.  Can you guess the plate?  It's one of our favorite Jimmy Buffett songs.....

If you guessed "Boat Drinks" you're right!  I'll be back soon with some more scrappy goodies...just so happy to be creative again!

MFT Fan Club May Layout

I had lots of fun with this month's MFT Fan Club Layout.  The girls had a camera phone at a recent competition and took lots of pictures while waiting for the awards ceremony to begin... it made for some very funny photos!

The Behind the Camera MFT was perfect for this layout.  I used some Amy Tangerine Chevron fabric  and paper to embellish it. 

I also used the Banner Day Stax and fan fold flower MFTs for my banner and of course, some fun Twinery twine in Pink Sorbet and Charcoal.

May's MFT Fan Club will be held at Right at Home Scrapbooking on both Saturday, May 26th at 10:15 a.m. and Thursday, May 31st at 6:00pm.

MFT Fan Club Peek

April's MFT Fan Club meeting at Right at Home Scrapbooking is this Saturday, April 28th at 10:00. We have a fun "retro" layout we'll be creating.  Here's the peek:

We'll be playing with some Lily Bee Harvest Market Papers and the AWESOME new Chevron MFT Die namic! I thought they coordinated perfectly with this VERY old picture of me and my mother in our matching hand-made outfits! 

The flowers are the MFT Botanical Beauty Die namic and the flag is created using the Banner Day MFT.

If you're interested in joining the MFT Fan Club, pleas call Right at Home Scrapbooking to reserve your spot.  See you Saturday!

MFT Fan Club Layout

I can't believe I almost forgot to post the MFT Fan Club layout that we'll be creating in this Saturday's class.... we'll be playing with some fun Echo Park Little Boy Papers, some great Twinery Twine and of course, some MFT Die namics. Take a peek...

Makes me long for warmer days! If you'd like to join the MFT Fan Club at Right at Home Scrapbooking, be sure to give them a call. This month's meeting will be held on Saturday, April 7th at 10:00a.m.

MFT Fan Club Peek

I finally finished the layout for this Saturday's MFT Fan club over at Right at Home Scrapbooking. Here's a peek.
I got to play with some My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy papers... so springy! It's helping me keep my head up during this SNOW!

The pictures are from a couple of years ago when all the neighborhood kids got together in a friend's yard to use the zip line. None of them cared how muddy it was!

That's all for today... I'll be back tomorrow with another Let's Capture These Sketches reveal!

MFT Fan Club

Hi Everyone!
We had our first MFT Fan Club at Right at Home Scrapbooking last night. It was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs! I created this layout for the ladies to do in class. It uses My Mind's Eye Good Day Sunshine papers and lots of Die namics from MFT. We featured the rolled daisy, but it also uses the Dainty Doily, Dainty Border,Butterflies and Layered Label.

That's it for now, just a quick post. I'll be back next week with some Bella Blvd. Tail Waggers and Cat Naps!
