Badlands

My family took a vacation in summer 2007 to South Dakota. I am almost finished with the album. Only 1 year behind, that's not bad, is it? This page is of my family climbing the rocks in the badlands. If you look closely at the bottom photos, you can even see me. A rare site on pages! Enjoy!

Supplies used:
Kelly panncci papers
Autumn Leaves date stamp
Bazzill cardstock
colorbox ink
Chris Durnan's Badlands GSD file

Happy 4th of July

I know, I know... It's a bit past the 4th of July, but I just realized I never posted this layout. I love these sets that Chris does with borders and swirls, and mats! I had to use this for my 4th of July layout.

Halloween Booooooook!

The last page cut out is from one of Chris's fabby file's

I thought it was time I shared my latest project, I just love Halloween & we don't celebrate it as well as the U.S but ever since living next door to a wonderful American family about 7 years ago I truly caught the bug I'm glad to say :) We now decorate the whole house, I make fabby treats for the visitors and I always try to do a special layout of the kids but this time I wanted a bag book, it's been a work in progress for a few weeks but it's finally ready for this years guysing.

new project - word book

Here is a project I finished using Chris's word book files. I love how easy the book cuts and how easily everything went together. The pictures are small, so just in case you can't tell, the book spells Bikes.

Hullllooooo

Wanted to share some things I created with Chris' files :). I used her Bubble bracket, pieces of the skeleton file, jack o'lantern and one of the fancy frames from the Quarterly club. and the white frame is her Pop frame with Pop cut out of it :).

Card to share

I have a new card to share. I used Chris's file - Love My Coffee - which you can find here.

The stamped phrase reads:

I gave up coffee, sex and chocolate.

It was the worst 10 minutes of my life.

I also used a coffee ring stamp on the background in a cream color. Chris's file also comes with a great title "Love My Coffee" and a matte for the title. Hop on over to Paperthreads.com and check it out!

Knight Cards

I was asked to make a card for a little boy who loved knights & castles etc and new I had the perfect two items for the cards, my fabby rubber stamp and Chris's sheild's file are just a great pair, I loved them both I made another to display in the shop :)

Magical Memories - Clear Scraps album

The initial idea for this came from a class at Scrap St. Louis. They were introducing us to their acrylic albums. The front cover was just a patterned paper Mickey and this file Chris created was perfect to add some pizazz!

Goal!

Do you remember this Layout? I entered it into the Iowa State Fair and won a White Ribbon! I just wanted to share with everyone. A big thanks to Chris for the fantastic Title! Check it out here! Goal!

New Wheels!

I used three of Chris's files for this layout - New Wheels!. her Helmet file, and her motorcycle file. My hubby bought a motorcycle earlier this month, and I thought these files were perfect. I kept the colors neutral, since his bike and helmet are black, but if you look at the sample cut files here:

and

you can definitely see that these files can be made as personalized as you want for your rider. The New Wheels! file also comes with a tricycle, but I didn't think hubby would approve of that on this layout. :)

Happy crafting!

Another challenge file idea

I just finished painting my kitchen recently and it just need a little extra added touch to it.
I had thought about purchasing border, but then Chris came out with her new design challenge.
That hen just kind of POPPED out at me. That's when the ideas started flowing! Why not make my own border out of vinyl? I had brown already but needed some tan. Then decided that I could add the grass file. I jumped on over to the paperthreads store, ordered the vinyl I needed. I couldn't believe it when the vinyl arrived 3 days later. Talk about fast service!! Anyway, here's what I came up with.
Hope you enjoy!

Blessed!

I attend a retreat twice yearly in Berea, Kentucky. I've been doing this for the past 3 years and have made many great scrap friends thru that time. These photos were taken at the retreat in April of this year. I can't wait until the Fall retreat roles around!! 3 days of fun filled scrapping! Seeing old friends and making new ones. That's what it's all about! When I saw the Friends file in the challenges, I knew they were just meant for this layout. :)

Endless possiblities

How many of you are excited about Chris's Challenge? I know I am. Aren't the files adorable? I can't wait to see what you all have come up with! If you haven't signed up for this, hurry and send Chris that email! Time is running out.
I started out doing on simple layout. Before I knew it, the ideas were rolling ! Next thing I knew, I had 3 completed. Am I finished yet? Probably not. :) It was just too hard to decide which ones to enter. I hope you enjoy seeing these half as much as I enjoyed doing them!!! Until next time, Happy Scrapping!!!

p.s. for Easter 1993

I meant to add on my post that I actually used some of the negatives of the flowers on the square punchouts. Added a little bling and buttons for flowers centers. I love the coordinating files that Chris designs.

Easter 1993

This is my first post on a blog. Hope I'm doing this right. I used Flower Borders Set http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3412 and Flower Jumble 2 http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3455. These made this layout quick and easy yet very pretty. Having a teenage daughter, I am so glad I have old photos to go back and scrap. *smile* She was so sweet here!
