Grandparents layout

My daughter asked me to take her picture with her grandparents,  She is so grateful to have such wonderful grandparents.  Sometimes I worry she missed out on having my parents when they were younger like my older daughters did but then she shows me she wouldn't change a thing.  She loves them very much.  I am so very proud of the young woman she is becoming.

Video on how I made the layout is on Youtube at http://youtu.be/3jETQyt9wyA

Smashbook page

My first smash book page.  It was a challenge about a favorite celebrity.  My daughter and I think Ellen is amazing and her biggest dream is to go to an Ellen show on her 18th birthday and dance with Ellen.

Mojo Monday sketch


Mojomonday.blogspot.com sketch challenge.  They do cards on their blog but I saw the sketch and immediately thought of my daughter's wedding.  I hope they accept my entry into the challenge.

12x12 layouts Dance Class and Water slide


A couple of layouts I did for sketch challenges on Yahoo Groups Scrap-a-holics Anonymous.  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Scrap-a-holics_Anonymous/

I just love doing sketches because it helps keep my mojo going and keeps me from staying in my same old same old rut.

Oh, yes I realize that I misspelled Beyonce. Oh well, I'll fix it someday. :)

Double Slider card


I found a great tutorial on a double slider card at http://hungryheffycrafts.com/2010/04/double-slider-card-tutorial/
I decided to make a Silhouette Studio cut file to make the card. Here is the link for the file. http://www.4shared.com/file/TqzCT023/Double_Slider_Card.html
Download the file, cut out the pieces and then watch the video on how to put it together. I love that this card opens like a regular card but has the additional double slider. That way you can stamp/decorate the sliders and still have tons of room on the inside of the card to write a message.
Hope you enjoy and thanks to Lesley Oman of Hungry Heffy Crafts for the tutorial and inspiration.

Texas Hold'em layout


I took this picture almost three years ago and finally got around to putting it on a layout. I used my Silhouette SD to to a print & cut of the playing cards and then did an offest in black to outline them. I cut a strip of cardstock 2" x 12" and added spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds for a border. I did a print & cut on the journaling block to be a club shape and cut the title with my Silhouette. I needed poker chips but the Silhouette store didn't have any so I created my own. I have provided the file for you if anyone needs poker chips for anything. http://www.4shared.com/file/8odvkHTa/poker_chips.html

Happy Scrappin`
