Miscellaneous Projects

This delightful batch of scrapping goodies are the miscellaneous cards & treats I've made in the last couple months.   This first one, with the owls, was for my kids' classes Valentines.  The owls are made with various punches and the two little packages contain jujube hearts.  The larger card was just for their teachers.

This next card was for one of my friends who loves rainbow stripes.  The background paper was PERFECT for her :)  I used a flower die that cuts and embosses to make the floral collection.

This same friend's husband's birthday is the week after hers, so here's his card too. 















My beautiful Grandma turned 91 in February and this is her birthday card.  The big flower was made with the Island Floral Bigz Die.   It's such a gorgeous flower... I used it on one of my March video layouts and on my sister-in-law's birthday card too.

And last but not least, my youngest son turn 7!!!!!  Here's the birthday card I made for him.  The inside reads "go nuts!"  Very appropriate for him, LOL!

Portobello Road

Love this pretty kit :)

Portobello Road

March's kit was Portobello Road from the Lost & Found collection @ My Mind's Eye.  The colours in this kit really drew me but I wasn't sure if I should do yet another Lost & Found collection!  Was wondering if everyone was getting tired of it...  Well, not sure how everyone felt about it but I loved the pages I ended up making!

I had originally thought this kit was all silver and blue but there turned out to be an amazing amount of orange/peach and greens in the papers too.  Some of the designs were too beautiful for words!  All the designers came up with pages and cards I loved!  Seemed to settle all my worries about the huge pad of paper, LOL!  Check out all the samples at:  http://www.createdwithpaper.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=6817

Here's a look at the video too :)

Snowfall Projects

With all the sledding photos we have each Christmas, these layouts were a snap!  The hilarious pics of the dog wearing the toque were the "can't resist" moment :)  These pages went together quickly with all the gorgeous, sparkly paper to choose from.

Snowfall

BoBunny's Snowfall collection is February's feature. This collection is beautiful! It has great deep blues and turquoises mixed with lots of glitter and chocolatey brown. Check out the layout with Lily and the hat... the boys loved it...

Love Letters

And it's a little late but here's January's kit!  Love Letters.  This was a HUGE kit.  It had $95 worth of stuff for only $35.  It even had a stamp set.  Here's a kit pic and the video.  There's a part I & a part II for the video...  I was having fun making the mini book but the video got a bit long and the two page spread had to move to a new video.  I LOVED the pages I made.  They were really simple but they look fancy :)  Hope you enjoy!

Going Card Happy

I haven't really stamped in ages, so this card was really fun.  This set (Like it a Latte, Retired) is one of my absolute favourites :)  I was browsing the Stampin' Up! catalogue and saw a card with a layout similar to this and loved the way another card had used white embossing on a Crumb Cake background.  The ribbon is from a candle but I loved it so much it got added to my scrap stash :)  This card was for my boarder's 21st birthday.   

This is the birthday card I made for my neice's 3rd birthday.  It was such a great idea in my head but it took ages before it started to look the way it did in my head!  This card was mostly made from Sweet and Leafy leftovers with the addition of a Stampin' Up! stamp, ribbon and some punches.

These two cards were the matching boy/girl baby cards I made for the new babies in my life :)  Toni had an adorable baby girl, Sophia and my sister-in-law just had a little boy, Noland.  I'm very excited to see him but he's on the other side of the country :(  Both of these cards were made with Alphabet Soup leftovers.

This card, made for my nephew's 6th birthday, really cracked me up.  It was super fast and easy because the front is mostly just a die cut.  The inside says "Somebody heard you had cake..."  The googly eye and chomp out the side really tickle me.  This card was made with leftovers again... "Stomp"

And last but not least... an anniversary card.  My aunt and uncle were married 25 years at the beginning of January.  This card was made from My Mind's Eye "Oh, la, la" collection.  The flourish template along the bottom is my favourite stitching template!  I have plans to do a class at "Scrap for Heart" in February, making a mini book with different stitching techniques.  This template will have to be part of it for sure. 

Hope you've enjoyed these projects... Happy Scrappin'!
