My latest projects

This week our assignment was anything goes. I decided to make a Christmas Planner and a little purse that holds cards.

On this planner, I used Pink Paislee Father Christmas papers. I made the album myself out of Black Bazzill. The papers and ribbon used throughout the book are available at HOP.

I googled for Purse Patterns and found one at Split Coast Stampers. I modified it a bit to make it a different size, but same basic instructions. I would share a link, but I cant seem to find it again.
I used Bella Blvd. Socialite papers for this one.

This is the inside of the purse holding 3x3 cards.

and here it is empty.

Ive been posting Christmas ideas with how to's over on the HOP blog this week...be sure to stop by there as well. (There is a link on the right side at the top under the HOP blinkie).

Halloween

This week our assignment was to make Halloween/Fall stuff.

This layout is of my family on Halloween last year. I used Echo Park Happy Halloween papers.

I found the pattern for this box at the Martha Stewart site and thought it would make cute halloween gifts. I used Happy Halloween on this too :)

If you decide to make them, I learned through trial and error that a spray adhesive is the best option for gluing the paper and cardstock together. The other ways left bubbles inside my box, but the spray adhesive left it smooth.

School Layout

This is my layout for the Roomie of the Month over on the HOP blog (link on the right side of my blog). This was my first time doing a banner and I like how it turned out. I used Bella Blvd. Midterm papers and stickers on this layout.

Check out the HOP blog to see what everyone else did. Thanks for stopping by!

Its all about the paper

This week the Design Team was asked to make layouts using paper and cardstock only. This is how I usually scrap for the most part anyway, so it was right up my alley.

For this first layout I used the brand new Echo Park Merry Christmas paper. I seem to love everything that Echo Park puts out and their 2 new christmas lines are no exception. I made the flower out of the paper and cut the lettering out of cardstock on my cricut.

For this layout I thought the colors of the Bella Blvd. Hello Sunshine papers were perfect!

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

Cards

Oct. 2 was world cardmaking day and HOP posted some challenges for the event. I was able to get 3 of the challenges completed.

This first card was made for the challenge to paper piece a stamped image.

This card was made for the challenge to make a Christmas card.

and this card was made for the challenge to use sewing on your card. (the big snowflake is hand sewn).
