Pages

Looking back makes me smile...

Today I put together a page for Karina.  This is from Easter 1998 when she was 2 years old.  She was beautiful then and even more so now...


And this one is from a hiking/camping trip we went on while living in Massachusetts in 2006...

I also made one just like it for Alicia.

What a great start to the morning...

This is the view I see off my back deck...
And today there was the prettiest Rainbow greeting the day!

Some Cards...

I love playing with my Cricut machine, and these little birds are from the Create a Critter Cartridge...
They can be Birthday cards or Congratulations on a couple getting married.


This Couples card embellishments were also made with a Cricut Cartridge.  The Stretch your Imagination cart.

The trees on this winter/Chirstmas card were made with the Stretch your Imagination cart too.

Ribbon Cans...

I've been seeing videos of scrappers making their own Ribbon holders/dispensers and thought I'd give it a try...
 First, I gathered my supplies...
 With my jumbo emery board I roughed the can up a little...
 Then I measured my paper that I wanted to cover my can in...
 Now, take the Mod Podge and coat an area of the can for my paper to stick to...
 Once the entire can was covered and I had put a thick coat of Mod Podge over my paper, I set it to the side to dry.
 Now that my can is dry, I can use the Crop-a-dile to punch my eyelet holes in it...
 Now for the eyelets...
 I used the same tool, just changed the setting to the eyelet setter...
 I then dropped my spools of ribbon in, then threaded them through the eyelet holes.
All done!

For my less ''crafty'' friends that want a ribbon holder, but think they can't do what I've done above (or don't have the supplies needed)...
For this box, I simply punched holes in the lid and added eyelets to run the ribbon through.

Older Photos...

Here are a few of the older photos that I scrapped this week...





What I've been doing lately...

 I found a REALLY great deal on DCWV Matstacks the other day and boy have I went to town with them!
The cupcakes in these cards are a new stamp that I got the same day as the Matstacks and I had a little fun painting them with watercolor crayons and Martha Stewart Blending Markers.
I've also been scrapbooking old photos like crazy...

These photos are from Summer 2010 while we were living in Louisiana.

This photo is from 2009, also in Louisiana.
