"Transformers"

In Provo Utah there is a little store called Pebbles in My Pocket (which is owned by Pebbles Inc). And they sell these page kits of every thing you could possible imagine.

Supplies:

Pebbles in My Pocket (page kit); American Crafts (letters)

Supplies:

Doodlebug (glitter cardstock); Pebbles Inc (chipboard shapes & dots); Maya Road (chipboard letters); Prima (pink cardstock)

Supplies:

Chatterbox (patterned paper); American Crafts (letters); Pebbles Inc. (chipboard heart); K I Memories (chipboard car); Coredinations (cardstock)

Still Making Miss You Cards

This one is for Breann. She loves bright, vibrant colors; her whole house is full of them. Although I'm more of a pastel color person, I love how she uses bold colors on not only her house, but also her clothes and even her hair. I know she will love this card.

Supplies:

American Crafts (patterned paper); DCWV (cardstock); Making Memories (flowers); My Little Shoebox (letter stickers); Creative Imaginations (button)

Supplies:

American Crafts (patterned papers, ribbon, & rub-ons); Prima (flowers); DCWV (cardstock); Me & My Big Ideas (gem)

Mini- Ball

I asked Gabby what her favorite thing to do with dad is, and she said "mini ball" (miniature golf). So we made a mini ball book for father's day. She picked out her favorite photos, then she picked out the paper (which is why my husband got a pink album). She just loves to help me scrapbook.

Supplies:

Stampin Up (patterned paper, cardstock, & stickers); other (album & ribbons)

Stampin' Up (cardstock, patterned paper, & sticker)

another miss you card

So here is yet another miss you card. this one will probably go to Augustina (if I ever write in it). I love to make cards for people, and to think about their excitement when they get it, but I have a hard time putting that into words inside a card.

Supplies:

K & Company (patterned paper & die cuts); Prima (cardstock); Making Memories (letter stickers); Provo Craft (cuttlebug embossing)

T.T.S. card

I used sketch #60 over at Triple The Sketch as my inspiration for this card design. I altered it a little to make it fit the small size card I was using, but I think it turned out pretty cute.

Supplies:

K & Company (patterned papers, die cuts, & rub-ons); bazzil (cardstock)

Lazy Daisy

I loved how these pictures turned out. Gabby, her Aunt Torri, and her cousin Emerson, had a great time palying out in the sprinklers, and I think it shows in the photos.

Supplies:

K & Company ( patterned paper, die cuts, & rub-ons); Doodlebug (glitter paper); Prima (shimmer cardstock)

Card & Gift Bag for "Twilight"

My mother recently discovered "Twilight", so I got her the movie as a birthday gift. When I saw this tissue paper at Target, I knew I had to get it to wrap her present in. Then, it must have been my lucky day because, the local scrapbook store had paper to match!

Supplies:

Scenic Route (brown patterneed paper); Colorblok (red patterned paper); Doodlebug (glitter paper); Bazzil ( shimmer cardstock); Making Memories (sticker)

"...Pursue These" card

"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue these." I found this saying on an acrylic overlay and knew it would make an adorable card. Using a giant heart to border it worked perfectly.

Supplies:

Making Memories (acrylic overlay, patterned paper, flowers, button, & ribbon); Bazzil (cardstock)

miss you card

Since our move, I have been missing our friends back in San Diego. I have been making a lot of "miss you " cards. I plan on giving this one to Emily (if I ever mail it), since she loves twilight and therefore apples.

Supplies:

K & Company (patterned paper, die cut flowers, & border punch); Prima (cardstock); Making Memories (letter stickers)

Anniversary card

This card was for my in-laws recent anniversary. They've been married 39 years, had 6 children, and 15 (and counting) grandkids.

Supplies:

Making Memories (patterned paper and button); Maya Road (birds); Bazzill (cardstock); other (silk flower)

thank you card

My grandma asked me to help her make a little thank you card for someone. I kinda wish the stamped flowers were a closer color to the patterned paper, but I'm probably just too much of a perfectionist.

Supplies:

Making Memories (patterned paper, ribbon, & die cut frame); Close To My Heart (stamps and inks); Bazzill (cardstock)

Graduation Announcements 2

It can get boring making the same card design over and over. So here is another design I came up with for my husband's announcements. I's all the same supplies (minus the ribbon) just arranged a little differently.

Graduation Announcements 1

It's so easy to make girly cards and scrapbook pages, but boy stuff is just beyond me (good thing I had a girl). So it took a lot of time to decide on a design that would be "manly" enough for my husband's graduation announcements, but I think this design works pretty well.

Supplies:

We R Memory Keepers (patterned paper); Cuttlebug (swiss dot template); other (cardstock and ribbon)

Graduation Album

I made this album for my husband's graduation from law school this spring. I found this mini album that looks like a graduation cap and opens up to be an accordion album inside.

Supplies:

E K Success (album); DCWV (paper); Fancy Pants (chipboard embellishments and letters)

Explore (two)

I had too many adorable photos to not make a cooridating page for my beach page. I just love Gabby in this bathing suit.

Supplies:

Doodlebug (patterned paper & stickers); Bazzil (bling cardstock); Coredinations (distressed cardstocks); Elle's Studio (journaling tag)

I loved the photos from this particular day at the beach. I have a hard time getting the perfect photo of Gabby, but this day I got several.

Gabby was so excited for the new Pixie Hollow to open up in Disneyland. She of course had to wear green to meet her, so they would match.

Supplies:

Fancy Pants (patterned papers & chipboard letters); K & Company (die cut flowers & heart); Doodlebug (brads); Close To My Heart (ink); other (flowers)

I was playing around with smaller card sizes and made this gift tag that matches the baby boy card.

Supplies:

added some stiching to it instead of buttons.

Supplies:

DCWV (patterned papers); Coredinations(cardstock); K & Company (rub-ons)

flowers

My grandma makes these flowers for me. I just tell her what colors I want, then she makes all different styles and sizes. Aren't they adorable?

Santa Monica Mini-Album

I have always wanted to go to Santa Monica, ever since I heard the Savage Garden song about it. Since we moved to San Diego, I kept hinting about it to my husband, bu the never made plans for us to go. So one Friday moring, I made plans for us to go that evening and spend the weekend there. It was the best mini-trip we have ever taken as a family.

Supplies:

My Minds Eye (patterned paper & die cuts); Karen Foster (album); K & Company (die cuts); Making Memories (paint); Maya Road (acrylic journaling tags); other (ribbons)

Supplies:

K & Company (patterned paper & die cuts); Prima (cardstock); Making Memories (letter stickers); American Crafts (ribbon); other (jewel)

Shower Monsters

Gabby loves those little bath capsules you soak in water to grow sponge animals and shapes. She thinks they are the best entertainment you could possible have in the bath, and I love that they only cost a dollar for a dozen. Her favorite ones are the aliens, which we now refer to as our "shower monsters".

Supplies:

American Crafts (patterned paper); Jelly Bean (journaling tags); Paper Reflections (cardstock); Slice (big kids cartridge)

Supplies:

K & Company (patterned papers); Stampin' Up (chipboard); Prima (pebbles); Maya Road (acrylic journaling block); Making Memories (letter stickers); Bazzill (cardstock)

Supplies:

Girls Night

These are my girlfriends/scrappin' buddies. We get together as a group atleast once a month. we say were scrapbooking, but really we just eat junk food, watch movies, and have girl talk. On this layout I wanted to combine photos from two different girl's nigths. By printing some photos in black & white, you can easily put photos from different days or events on the same page without having the colors in the photos clash.

Supplies:

prima (paper); ki memories (chipboard letters); making memories (journaling block); american crafts (ribbon); sassafras lasss (flower)

easter card

After trying out several card designs, I finally picked a card design that I am happy with. I used 2nd generation stamping to achieve the perfect colors (that's where you stamp your image on scrap paper before stamping on you card, which makes your colors softer). The picture we sent with our cards is from a trip my husband & I took to Santa Monica a few weeks ago.

Supplies:

die cuts with a view (cardstock & patterned paper); american crafts (ribbon); close to my heart (stamps & ink)
