Two mini layouts

I did a 6x6 mini album over the holiday weekend also. I used pictures of my son when he was around 2 1/2 yrs old. My how he has changed:-). Anyway, these words are from Chris's CD00499 Wedding Words file but I used them here. See how versatile they are.

thanks for looking - Sandra from NC

More... Wedding Coin Holders

I made these over the holiday weekend. One for my step-neice, one for her husband and one for my neice and her husband.

The large titles "Wedding Day", "The Kiss", "Our Love" are from Chris' Wedding words 2 (CD00498). The Dancing Bride & Groom, "Cut the Cake" and "the Bouquet" titles are from Sam and Hailey Designs-Itty Bitty Wedding Day (JB00201) at Paperthreads.com . All the charms are from acharmingplace.com.

Birdday card

I needed a quick birthday card and knew Chris's Happy Birdday file would be perfect. I backed the little bird with the same green from the greeting so his eye and wing would stand out a little from the back ground. Added a little ink on the edges, and it's ready to be sent!

If you'd like to see this file, you can find it here in Chris's store.

New Layout using CD00431

I have tried out something new with this layout. I have used the tree from Chris's CD00431 "Happy Birthday to You" file as I wanted to try a layout that showed a perspective view. The swing comes from a file by Aisne from DSS and I have extracted Aidi and placed him on the swing. Aidi was originally going down a slide, so I was quite pleased with the way the extraction went and placing him on the swing instead doesn't look too bad.... what do you think? This is the first time I have made a shadow giving perspective, have I got it right do you think?

Thanks for looking,

cheers, caz

May09 Sketch Challenge

This is a layout created for the May09 Sketch Challenge currently being run in the Forum. This layout features a card created for me for Mother's Day this year by my 13yo son. Although I have included the front of the card in the layout, the focus is on the journaling inside, this was beautiful and from his heart, and I love him for that!

I have used the files supplied for the Sketch Challenge and also Chris's CD00439 - Strength Love file which can be found in the Store.

Thanks for looking,

cheers, caz

Mother's Day card 2009

Here is a card I created for my ma using #CD00395 Vinyard Card front. This was such a simple card to make but I loved how it turned out. I simply cut Chris' file then added some swirly bling purchased from Hobby Lobby, a paper flower with a punched circle and a pretty jewel. Super simple!

FROG projects using #CD00442

Sorry, I have been MIA. My dad has been ill and had some serious health concerns and recenlty I have had to have several doctor appointments so no time to play. Hate when life gets in the way. *smile* Throw a Project Prom volunteer (time-consuming) job in there and things get crazy. *wink* But life is good! Here are a few projects I completed in April. Loved this froggy file Chris made! The first one is a birthday card I created for my neice who collects frogs. She loved it!

The second project, I used this same adorable little frog and created a saying "Fully Rely On God" to go with it. This was a prayer journal that I gave away as a prize at a lady's function at our church. May have to make me one now!

Sandra from NC here - decided to say who I was first because I always forget at the end :).

Here's my May challenge layout! I loved how Chris' file cut for this! I really like the hearts :-). I stayed monochromatic with the colors and love how it turned out. I combined this challenge with a theme challenge at PT "One moment in Time"- the title of my page is from the file provided by I Scrap Designs for that challenge. I used an Angel charm from http://www.acharmingplace.com/ on the tag by the picture.

I had several oppsies on this page **rolling my eyes here**. First I applied glue to the back page so I wouldn't accidentially move my top patterned paper once I had it placed. I went too far on the left of the paper therefore the solid strip is not in the middle - lol. Second, I don't sew often and I've recently had my machine maintained because it wasn't working. Well, I didn't sew on anything else first to get all the oil off - grrrr. So I have oil splatters on the paper. Oh well, I thought. Part of the theme challenge was to use distressing too so that will just be part of my distressing - lol.

In case you can't read it, here is my journaling - and be warned, it could produce tears...

"If I had one more moment with you, I would tell you

• how much I love you

• how proud I am of you

• what a handsome young man you became

• what a wonderful Christian you are

• how much I miss you

• how your short life touched mine & others

• I would ask you to tell Peter, Mike & your Great-Grandparents… I love them.

Then, I would hug you long and hard and say goodbye."

Jason is my nephew. He died 10 days after he turned 17 in a weather related car accident along with his best friend. It has been 11 years and I still miss him terribly and can only imagine how much my brother's family misses him.

Thanks for looking!

These pics are from my March Scrap Retreat. I thought the title from Chris was perfect. We as scrapbookers don't lie we just like to embellish a little :) The papers are Die Cut With A View from the Retro stack and he flowers came from 7 Gypsies. The scrolling form Tim Holtz Grungeboard is painted with Dried Marigold Crackel Paint from Ranger Industries. The Berlin Ohio Die Cut was purchased at a scrapbooking store there. Sorry I haven't been posting lately. Life is really hectic around here. My son is getting married in 18 days and I am not even ready for this. We still have to finish getting our clothes and shoes for the wedding! But on the positive note, I will have a ton of pictures to scrap.. I am the photographer!!
