Welcome...

So glad you chose to stop by!

I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.

Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...

Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...

Enjoy and come back SOON!

Have YOUR Cake... CPS # 135

This week’s sketch @ the Card Positioning Systems site was perfect for the male birthday card that I needed to make. I always struggle with masculine cards because I’m really a flowers, bling, and ribbon kinda girl. This card proves; masculine or not, I just can’t break the ribbon habit! Oh well…

Anyway, the patterned paper is 7 Gypsies and the cake & plate come from the Cricut "From My Kitchen" cartridge.

Friend Birthday...

I made these cards for my scrapping buddy, Karen's, birthday. Karen's sister asked that I make one for her as well. I found the Sister saying on line and thought it was perfect for their relationship. Anyway, I loved the colors so much that I made both cards using the same paper.

Well, lots going on. Just wanted to do a quick post.

No SUNSHINE...2S4Y Laura #34

This week I decided to play along with everyone @ the 2 Sketches 4 You site. I’ve got quite a few cards to make and a little inspiration never hurt anyone. This card is for one of my co-workers who just had surgery. The office is not the same when she’s absent so I used the rain frog that I got from myscrapchick.com and I chose the sentiment “ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone”.

Girls with Tools… Shaped Card

This card was so fun to make and it’s actually a joke among my friends. One of my BFFs loves to dress up, loves to accessorize, loves girly stuff, yet she’s also a handy girl of sorts. She can fix things, build things, change tires – YOU NAME IT!!! Every year I tell her that I’m getting her a tool belt for Christmas. Of course I never do although she doesn’t seem offended with the joke.

Anyway, this card celebrates her love of Macys coupled with her love of Home Depot. I cut the dress from the Happily Ever After Cricut Cartridge and the hammer comes from Every Day Paper Dolls.

She thought the card was hilarious.

Quick Window Card...

Window cards were once a favorite of mine, but I haven’t done them in along time. I covered the window with acetate and ran it through the Cuttlebug. The paper pile is getting lower! Gotta make room.
