Finishing Some Up & A Few New Ones

I spent some time last week finishing up a few layouts that I had laying around without photos. Even found some time to make a few news ones! I buy some really amazing kits from my favorite kit clubs....links are on the right!

A card using kit papers and Prima felt:

A card made for a friend at Paper Popsicles, using Dream Street papers:

Papers from a kit bought at Love Bug Scrapbooking. I used a Becky Fleck page map for the first page and will likely add more journaling strips to the right side:

This Christmas layout was fun to make! I used a Sassafrass Lass North Pole kit bought at Paper Popsicles:

This double page layout also uses a Paper Popsicles kit:

This card was made with a mini kit from Paper Popsicles:

Made with more kit leftovers:

These next two pages were made for challenges at www.2scrappychix.com They have some wonderful Monthly challenges!!! Check them out!

This page of my DD uses one of the very fun January kits from www.artfreckles.com

A finished Christmas page with a 2005 photo of the girls! That awesome tree was a RAK from a friend over at www.scrapbooking4less.com.au

I believe these papers come from a Love Bug Scrapbooking kit. The photo was taken when my DD decided the dishwater was too "Gross" to keep washing the dishes! LOL...the face says it all!

I bought two kits this past January with Bo Bunny papers. I loved them both! I made this page of my DD's and my Mom with a photo from last Mothers' Day!

Lastly, a page that won layout of the week at 2scrappychix! I used the new Teen American Crafts papers that I got in a kit at Love Bug Scrapbooking! I added a few Primas from my stash and some awesome crochet flowers that a good friend made for me!

Walk for The Cure

I make my Aunt a page for her album every year. I just completed this one for her last walk for the cure. She is a survivor, 6 years now..... I hope to scrap many more pages for her "survivor" album!

Theme Challenges, Crackle Paint & Birthdays

Paper Popsicles select a "Theme" every month for their fun challenges! This January, the theme is "Firsts". I participated in two of the challenges thus far, these are the resulting layouts!

This page, along the same theme was an absolute scraplift from DT JackieG at Paper Popsicles. Her page was so amazing, and beautiful... that I couldn't help but attempt to make one myself for my friends' baby album. It uses products from the "Mini Kit" which is soooo not mini!

And yet another birthday page with this great kit!

I'm posting this photo especially for my friend "Lambcrop" who bought some crackle paint and wondered what to do with it! Here are some Costco recycled olive jars and some smaller recycled lotion jars. I painted the lids with crackle paint then applied liquid glass to smooth it out! I supposed a modge podge would also work. Then I glued some Prima flowers and embellies, added a few stickle dots....and voila....some pretty flower and button jars for my scraproom!

Art Freckles is hosting a USE YOUR STASH contest

An absolutely great site to frequent! I am loving it at Art Freckles! This is my first layout for their "Use Your Stash" contest! I had a few items on the list, large brads, photo corners and colored ink! I hadn't a clue what "gafer tape" was though, and wasn't able to find some pre 2008 paper! Good to know that most of my paper is recent.....although it did take me 2 days to sift through it!

Here is my page:
