"Birthday" throwback challenge

Ok, Emma's up to it again with her wonderful throwback challenges. This theme is "Birthday" and to use the cartridge "Celebrations". Well I don't have that cartridge so I did use a few cartridges. I used Teardrop, Doodlecharms, and Create - a Critter.

When she posted this challenge I knew I wanted to do my daughter's 1st Birthday.

The presents will be the mats for the photos. For her 1st Birthday - we did a very large cupcake as the main cake, and a smaller cupcake for her own personal. She had a really cute outfit from Carter's with a big purple, white and confetti colored cup cake. That gave me the idea for the accents on this page.

The candles have red stickles to highlight the flames.

I used SEI Paper line - Happy Day

The Purple is from Archivers.

The ribbon was just a pretty little accent from my stash.

The stitching is done with a white gel pen, and a black Zip marker.

Hope you enjoy it, and Happy Scrappin...

Wild Card - Throwback

Well again its time for Emma's throwback challenge. She has the greatest challenges, this week she allowed us to "vote" for what we liked. My vote was for Wild Card as I have that cartridge and not Celebrations.

My favorite "holiday" if you want to call it is Sweetest Day. Only because my daughter was born that day. It was truely the sweetest thing.

I made a small card for my dear sweet and wonderful hubby.

On the inside just simply says, "I Love you" from the wild card phrase.

I used SEI Chocolat paper. If you haven't guessed by now SEI is one of my favorite paper lines. I also hand trimmed the heart with rinestones.

Hope you enjoy, Happy Scrappin

"Animal" Throwback

Once again, Emma at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is hosting another Thursday throwback. This time the cartridge was to use "Zooballoo" and create an Animal theme project. I made this adorable card for a friend of mine. I don't have Zooballoo so I used the birdie from Create a Critter cartridge. On the inside of the card it says, "Have a Tweet Day".

I used:

SEI paper line "Happy Day"

Peachy Keen Princess Face Assortment Stamp

A pearl rinestone for the eye

"Baby" Throwback

It's time again for Emma's throw back Thursday Challenge.(Check out her blog over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/).

This week the featured cartridge was New Arrival. Well, I don't have this cartridge and since it is a "baby" theme I figured I would do a page of my daughter's favorite word. Yes it is OGG OGG. As in Dog Dog - but she doesn't say the "D's" very well. She is only 20 months what do you expect. She loves to run for the dog's leash and grab it off the table and pretend to hook her up like she was going to take her out. It is truely one of the cutest things.

Given it will be photos of my daughter I will add them off camera. (Sorry).

I used:

SEI Kitty's Place paper

A Child's year Cricut Cartridge

Glue Arts adhesive

and a white gel pen.

Hope you enjoy, and Happy Scrappin'

Pink, Brown, Orange, Green Challenge

Well it's not Throwback Thursday (yet), but Robyn at My Pink Stamper is hosting a challenge. This challenge was to use Pink, Brown, Orange, and Green. I know its hard to see the colors, but I used SEI Dill Blossom. It has a light brown, orange, pink and green in it. The butterfly is green body, with pink wings and an orange mark. I made this cute little butterfly card.




Hope you enjoy it.



Thanks for looking and Happy Scrappin.

Doodlecharms - Throwback Challenge

It's that time again for another great throwback challenge sponsored by Emma from http://www.creativetimeforme.com/. This time it was to use the cartridge - duddlecharms. I love this cartridge and was happy when she announced the challenge. I knew I wanted to do the layout of my daughter eating her first Rainbow Cone. Those not from Chicago -- you are missing out. This is one of the many wonderful Chicago foods. The ice cream is huge - but it is so yummy. The name of the place is called Rainbow Cone, they serve a "rainbow" cone ice cream. It is made up of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House (Vanilla, cherries, and walnuts), Pistachio, and Orange Sherbet. It is the best. I love it.

My layout - does not have photos because they are mainly of my daughter and for her safety/privacy I elected not to put those in there yet. I did go back and added the photos.

Enjoy and happy Scrappin..

Paper Doll - Throwback Challenge

It's time again for another Throwback Challenge with Emma from http://www.creativetimeforme.com/. She has asked that we use "Old" cartridges. Well this one may be old to some but I just got it a few weeks ago. I am still playing with it, but here is my entry.

I "enhanced" a picture frame - and put Daddy's favorite photo in it.

This one for sure was a challenge, for a couple of reasons. 1)We had massive storms and the power went out. 2) I haven't really worked much with this cartridge, I like it and think I will love it the more I use it.

Enjoy and Happy - Scrapbooking.

Red, Blue, Brown, Throwback Challenge.

Another wonderful Challenge from Emma. This time was to use Brown, Blue, and Red.

I made a cute little flower pot card. The pot is brown, and so is the Thanks. A touch of blue shadows the thanks, and red flowers with red gems.

Enjoy and Happy Scrappin...

My Creative Time challenge - Throwback Thursday..

I added some stuff to this after I posted it but forgot to rescan it.. I went all the way around the ribbon with the detail. I used this card for a speical little 2 year's birthday. She loves Cats.

Supplies:
Bazzil card stock to make the card,
SEI papers for the cat, and wrapping on the package.

I used my Gypsy thanks to Emma's great teaching from ((creativetimeforme (dot) com)). She has some really great videos.
I made the "present" shape card, then did the kitty cat on the gypsy.
On the inside it just simply says Happy Birthday.

Thanks for looking.

My new scrapbooking spot...

My new scrapbooking spot..

I like most people have 2 blogs. I will be using this blog mainly for stuff related to scrapbooking.

I have recently fell in love all over again with my Gypsy thanks to others and there great videos. No I am not an expert or even try to be. I just love what I have learned and have been using that to create some new stuff. So I felt it was only approiate to give those projects a new home.

I really enjoy scrapbooking and making cards when I am not chasing a 19 month old around. I have recently done a few "NON" judged challenges as pure fun.

Welcome to my new blog and have fun scrapbooking or paper crafting.
