Create and Make up Day

Shadow Boxes and Frames

I have included a picture of the shadow boxes that we will be making on May 19th. I’m going to call this day a Create and Make Up day. We will spend the day creating these boxes, making flower frames and getting caught up on past projects.  The colors and or paper packets that can be used for these projects are:

Roxie (black and Pink) Typeset (Black and Juniper green) Wings (Black with dots and garden green) Believe (Red plaid or stripes) Dreamn ( Pacifica blue or chocolate flower) Sasparilla (Black and Barn red) Olivia (Barn redish and Pear or Orange) Cherry O (Brown and Pink plaid) Pemberly (Outdoor denim blue and Desert sand). 

The Shadow boxes will cost $25 for everything  and we will paint the frames dark

 brownish, the color of the Jingle letters that we did for Christmas or you can paint them what ever works for your decor.  You will also receive the $5 dimensional banners packet to take with you to use on other fun projects. You can do either style you like of the shadow boxes,

The Frames come as black or white frames which can be ANY color you wish, just let me know.  They will be $5 and I only have 3 black and 2 white left, so contact me right away if you would like to do these. 

Victory Class pages

These are the 3 layouts that we will be doing for our class this Thurs. April 12th.  We are using the Victory paper from Close to my Heart.  This first layout is from their workshop on the go, and the other 2 layouts were designed by Karen Pederson.  When I saw her great layouts I knew we would love to reproduce them.  She used the Tough tags  as adorable accents.

I used some of the pictures that we took while up at Zion Canyon and Elk Meadows (Eagles Nest).  My brother and his family were with us this last summer.  The victory paper is great for any outdoor activity like camping, hunting, picnicing, hiking ect.  If you want to see the pictures enlarged just click on the one you want to see.

Studio J

This is when Trevor was in the Dickens Festival Play Scrooge.
  He was one of the Cratchet children and I was even in the chorus.

I was even a man in one of the dance scenes.

Trevor loves Egyptian history and he even drew and painted this on his bedroom wall.
 When he moved to the upstairs bedroom we decided to paint over his artwork. 
If you notice on the right layout the picture of the lady was two pictures and with Studio J,
 I was able to make them look thike one picture.

I have made several new layouts with CTMH's, Studio J online scrapbooking program.  They have made some new additions and updates to it.  I have so much fun creating on line.  I will include just a few of them.

Florentine patchwork Layout

This is another layout that I had to scraplift from Tamatha Jenkins. If you are not a follower of her blog you should be.  Her artwork is awesome.  Think of this layout as having the left page turned 1/4 to match the patchwork and picture.  I just had to copy it some way, and since my picutres had to face this way I had to rotate.  I love how the patches pop! Hope you enjoy it. 

Florentine final Layout

Third Layout

This is the 3rd layout of the Florentine workshop.  I haven't finished the title page because I have to think of a good 1word title.  The Florentine was one of my favorite paper packets.  It has the colors for our door pictures, which is what I take a lot of.   The workshop will be Thursday March 15th. I was nervous about coloring the seambinding ribbon, but it went smoothly.  What a great idea to be able to make your own color of ribbon with what ever project.  I liked the twisted look to make a center for a flower or what ever you choose. 

Florentine Workshop

I can't believe that it has been that long since I have added a post.  Maybe because I have been sewing more than scrapbooking.  I have completed 4 pages of Florentine workshop on the Go.  I have been wanting to scrap these pictures of our California trip for quite some time. (I guess they are only 2 years old.) I wanted to use this paper right away, when I saw it in the new catalog.  The second set of pages was origionaly meant for something feminine. I hope you don't think I am too weird adding beach theme accents, maybe they are just subtle enough that it dosent take away from the layout.   I will have the last set ready in just a few more days. Let me know what you think.

Typset Layout



Each layout is for a different school experience from Trevor school.

This is the Typeset paper packet with a back to school theme. I got this layout idea from a fellow consultant, Aron Brown. I have made this 2 page layout to be each individual or a pair. In my case, I am using them as each individual title pages, but they were meant to be used together. Just make them your “own”. The first page is titled “bk 2 skl” or back to school. I have poped up the 4X6 picture of Trevor and placed a journal tag behind it. The second page has Trevors school year grade, and then the great cricut letters “fun”. So that’s how I made them to be individualized. 

If you haven't figured it out yet that I love to put banners on my pages and the Cricut cartridge from CTMH is just perfect to cut out all the different banners, in different sizes.
