MY PROJECT LIFE / P52

So I am a bit of everything scrapper: stamper, card maker, scrapbooker, and now I have mixed digital fun into this mish mash of happiness! So last week I was wandering on all my "freebie" websites and ran across this:

Becky Higgins Project life (you should really dig around on this site! or even Google 'project life 2012' and see the images!!)

Then I realized what all the "p365 and p52" items I had been seeing in my digital searches for the last 2 months were being used for... and I was hooked! I later found some other good websites (if you are interested let me know via email!)

This became a must do so I ordered some of the Becky Higgins products, and scrambled through products via digital means and VIOLA got started... so here is MY take on this project:

I am using Becky Higgins binder for easy access and addition of pages. I have the sheet protecters of various patterns and shapes (you can see cover page and week 1 are mostly the 3x4 pieces) and then the week must also include a 12x12 plain layout. Next week I plan on using the 4x6 divided sheet with a 6x6 layout pocket... (BTW the mixed sheet packet are made from We R Memorykeepers and they fit into the binder). I love this project and I love that it will make me make pages and use the stuff I have.. this is a hybrid project some of it I am doing digitally and some of it via old school glue and scissors scrapbooking.. I think it looks great! I feel like I had more to say but like I said I am just waking up and want to help motivate you fellow scrappers and not keep you glued to my silly blog post.. so here are the pics and if you need a list of the sites I use, the products I already LOVE and use.. let me know..

Happy scrappin'

An a-MAZE-ing litte Valentine

Well here we go a New Year...

Thanks to a quick stop inspired by another fellow creator at the Dollar Store I found these cute little heart mazes, here is one of the Valentines that my daughter will be giving out!

The mazes are held on by repositionable glue so that they are able to come off and be played with by her classmates.

Products used:

-Mazes (packs of 7-pink and red) from dollar store

-Recollections Valentines card stock

-SU Edgelits dies and textured impression embossing folders

-SU heart punch (to punch out the edges and make it look like a postage stamp)

-SU stamp set Fun & Festive

-SU waffle paper and scallop circle punch

-Tattered Angels ruby red spray mist

-ribbon, rhinestones, and be mine sticker (not SU product)

-Versamark and glitter embossing powder

Tissue flowers..

As I was walking through the store looking for something that my kids could make for their Dad for Fathers' Day, I was taken back to a childhood memory and wanted to attempt something I learned in grade school for a new card....

Using Tissue Paper here are the newest version of flowers I will be using on everything for about the next month or so.. haha!! enjoy!!

WEDDING FAVORS

IT'S BEEN A BUSY FEW WEEKS!! FINALLY I AM BACK TO SCRAPPIN... ALTOUGH BEFORE I WAS SCRAPPING STILL BUT IT WAS ALL WEDDING..!! HERE ARE SOME WEDDING FAVORS I MADE:)

I USED THE PETAL CONE PUNCH AND THE LATTICE EMBOSSING FOLDER. AFTER PUNCHING OUT THE PETAL CONE SIDES (MARINA MIST CARDSTOCK) , I ADDED CUT OUT STAR FISH AND SAND DOLLARS FOR EMBEDDED EMBOSSING. I EMBOSSED THE CONE WITH THE LATICE EMBOSSING FOLDER. I REPEATED THE PROCESS WITH THE TOPS (I HAD TO CUT OFF THE TOP FROM THE MARINA MIST AS I WANTED TO USE A DIFFERENT COLOR) FOR THE ROUND TOPS I USED: BASHFUL BLUE AND CHOCOLATE CHIP CARDSTOCK)

AFTER THE CONE ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETE, I USED THE CROP A DILE AND PUNCHED HOLES IN THE BASE SO I COULD TIE A RIBBON AND WEDDING CHARMS TO THE FRONT WITH THE 3/8" TAFETA RIBBON. STAMPED THANK YOU ON SAHARA SAND CARDSTOCK AND MADE A BANNER WITH MY SQUARE PUNCH (TUTORIAL ON SPLITCOAST STAMPERS WEBSITE)

FOR THE FILLING I PUT IN SOME EASTER GRASS AND USED THE TREAT BAGS FROM JOANNS CRAFT STORE WEDDING FAVORS KIT AND FILLED THEM WITH MATCHING M&M COLORS..!!

THEY WERE A SUCCESS!! AND BEAUTIFUL :)

FOR QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE OR EMAIL ME !!

THANKS FOR LOOKING... AND HAPPY SCRAPPIN'

Valentine Creations have Begun..!

Now that the tree is put away and the sugars from stocking treats and baked goodies has settled in its time to get back to reality.. oh wait.. Valentine's is right around the corner... another reason to be in the scrap room all day :)

Here is the first of my creations: (with more to come!)

I saw the bottom part of the card with the shadowed trapezoids somewhere else but I cannot remember where, sorry!

The top part of the card is cased from the very popular Stampin Up "Valentine Defined" set.. instead of stamping it onto the card I used the idea to make my own wires with confetti and beads.. maybe next time I will just stamp it as it seems to take less time!

Happy Scrappin' ... thanks for looking :)
