Howdy!

I have just a minute to stop in and post - and I thought that I'd share with you some scrap pages that I worked on.  I need to start doing another prom scrapbook for Danielle.  Finally I went to the store and printed out some to work with.  However it is just some of the over 300 that were taken.  Yes, 300+ pictures!  So here we go:

 Yup, where does the time go?  I so wish that I had that little girl back ~ and doing it all over again, well, that really was not a problem.  I was one of the lucky ones.  She never came home with purple hair (ok, I did once) and she was never in trouble (knock on wood that keeps up!!) so yes, I would do it all over again.  But it is also nice to see what a young lady she's grown into.

Ok, enough of the jibber jabber - I've got a few things to do.  But please make sure that you pop on over to my other blog Joani's Cards Made by Hand, Too! and see what a great special Stampin' Up! has going on right now. 

More crafty and creativeness later, promise!

For the love of scrappin' x2

Thank you everyone for the sweet comments and emails about my last set of pages ~ that's so kind.  It makes me think that the album will be cherished.  Now, ready for the last of the pages?  Of course, that's why your here...

I have an appointment tomorrow so I'm not sure if I will be able to post here or not.  If not I will try to on Friday!  Have a great day and thanks for looking Ü

For the love of scrappin'...

As I mentioned before I've been busy making a scrap book for a friend.  And I normally would of been done with it in no time ~ but every time I tried to sit to work on it there was a little of this and a little of that.  Always something to get in the way.  Well yesterday was the perfect day.  Hubby was at work, Danielle was out with her boyfriend and Mom was just quiet in her chair.  It was a gloomy, rainy day.  We need the rain, badly.  But when it's a gloomy, dreary day people tend to be a bit quiet - so I got to finish my project.

When I sit to work on scrap pages I tend to bring out everything, and it get's messy.  So if you see these pages and there is something that you like and want to know who the vendor is just ask.  I'm sure that I can tell you ~ but I just don't keep track of it while I'm working.  It's messy enough Ü

I forgot to mention that these pages are 6 x 6.

I hope that you enjoyed these pictures and that they give you some inspiration.  Even if your not a scrapper you can still find inspiration in them.  You can't imagine the places that I find inspiration for cards.

Stay tuned tomorrow, I have more pages for you to look at!

Have a super great day!

How about a little of this and that?

I've been pretty sporadic this past couple of weeks, and I'm sorry.  I was actually working (only for a week) and then my back went out again (maybe I'm allergic to work?) so I've been staying out of the craft room.  But yesterday I was tired of doing nothing and I had to get my hands on some paper - I've got to show you what I've made.  Then I've got some scrap pages that I made a couple of weeks ago that I want to share too.

I had this digi image for a little over a week and it was just sitting on my craft table already colored and not yet put to a card so I had to finish it.  I'm not sure if you are all familiar with Michelle over at Stamps, Paper, Scissors and Donkey Smiles.  Her blog is just adorable!!  And Danielle and I just get a kick (he he he) out of it when she posts about her donkey's.  She had a terrible accident a while back and Karen at Karen's Doodles made this most adorable digi image for her!!  So of course I snagged it and was off to make her a card ~ if you go to the link at Karen's Doodles you can find her address if you want to send her a smile or two.

The base card is Barely Banana that I layered with Ballet Blue and some DP from SU! (sorry, it's retired and I don't have the name of it...)  The Ballet Blue piece I ran thru my cuttlebug with the swirls folder.  I colored the image with my pencils and gamsol and cut it out with my coluzzle.  I layered it on to another piece of Barely Banana and a piece of Old Olive that I cut out with my Cricut Storybook cartridge.  The "bling" is actually some rhinestones that Danielle gave me a while back that she purchased for her phone and never used ~ so Mom got the goodies Ü  I've got a little touch of stickles on the center of the flowers and I was complete.  I hope that Michelle enjoys the card and that it will bring a smile to her face.

Now here are a few scrap pages that I had been working on...

As you can see the little bus...  I cut it out of another sheet I had and pop dotted it to raise the image.

I love to make these circles to accent her.  If you've got a crowded scene just punch some circles out an place it over the one that you are scrapping about.

That's all I've got for you today.  Hopefully I will get some computer time this weekend.  If not, I'll be in the craft room and I'll show you Monday what I've been up to.

Have a super great day!

This is what I've been up to....

I've been scrappin' Danielle's prom pictures.  Of course this and that had to get in the way.  I'd sit down and then I'd be interupted...  Isn't that always the way.  But at least I've finished it before she graduated Ü

Wanna see?  Of course you do!!  Sorry though, it's a long post...

I used lot's of things to create these pages.  I think that I will just list all that I can remember.  If there is something that you see that you really like and need to know then just send me an e-mail and I will figure it out.  When I scrap it pretty much looks like a bomb went off.  There is stuff everywhere!  So here is what I can remember:

Martha Stewart pearls, paper DCWV, Bassill, Hot of the Press, SU!, SU! vellum, Kaiser scrap booking & EK Success gems, stickles, buttons, American Crafts - K&Co - Oriental Trading rub on's, SU! Hodge Podge hardware, Making Memories clear flowers, coluzzle, brads, eyelets, Heidi Swapp giant flowers, primas, 3M photo corners and 1 3/8" 1 1/4" & scallop circle punches.  All of the flourishes that were cut out were cut from my Cricut Storybook cartridge.  That's all I can remember off hand.  If there is something else you see I did not list, just ask and I'll try to figure it out for you.

Hope that these pages inspire you somehow!  Have a great evening!!
