Layouts & Cards

See I told ya I'd Be Right Back :P and here I am to show the few layouts and cards I've made over the past couple of months. Now there are only 4 things to show, (I know right? I told ya I was slooowly getting back in to the swing of things) but I am pretty proud of the job I've done on all of these.

First up is this "LOVE" card I made right around Valentine's Day. I had no real reason to make it as I don't celebrate V Day, but I did have some SVG files I wanted to play with and some new ribbon and old paper I wanted to use up also so thought 'what the heck?' and went to town creating this beauty of a card.

I created this card just to use up some of the scraps from the Bathroom Signs I made in my previous entry. I also had a little fun getting aquainted with my Copic Markers.... I still have a LOT to learn when it comes to using them properly but I thought the lil froggy turned out nicely.

Next up a few layouts I created. I scraplifted the idea for this layout from one I had seen in the ACOT gallery. I fount papers that would work with the idea, then luckily I had a fairly recient photo that shared the same colors of those papers. I used Kaiser Papers, cut the phrases out so I could place them around the photo as you see them here and finished it off with a minimal amount of Kaiser bling.

Lastly, a soccer layout as my start to scrapping Xavier's 2009 soccer season. I am creating an ABC album for the season so this is my letter "M" for MVP :)

Ok there you have it, a little bit of creativity from me. Now that I have completed a few things I am really excited to dive in to my paper and getting some more layouts cranked out. Even though I scrapped a LOT last year, very little of that was from 2009 events so I am looking forward to getting last year caught up and in the books and hopefully pick away at some new pics also.

Happy Scrappin'

Finally some things to post!!!

Hi to all!!! I hope you are all having good days and have found some time to be creative. I have slowly been finding my groove and slowly completing projects I had long ago started. Gonna make a few posts here today just to break things up a little bit.... today was all about alterations.

Of all these projects not one of them was started today..... no sir, they were all started months ago and have been waiting for me to brave putting up with the cricut long enough to cut my words and images. I love my cricut, but sometimes it's so much of a pain in the butt that I dred using it, but that was NOT the case today :)

The following I have made to put in my Scrap Room.... The Cherry Pit :) Another wooden block sign, with an inspirational scrappy saying. This one is a bit different than ones I have made previously as I used a few different paint colors instead of sticking with all black. I wasn't sure at first how it was going to turn out, but in the end I really like the look.

This is a baking sheet I altered in to a maganetic board. Titled for the Cherry Pit, and using the same coordinating papers as the block sign. The maganets I made by cutting the tails off of brads and gluing on a maganet in their place, this was pretty fun and simple to make.

This sign I made to put in my kitchen to help tie in all the colors I've got going on in there. I painted a 12x15 canvas in the color blocking you see here, then used my Cricut along with Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) to cut my words and the mugs. I used multiple fonts as I like the look of mixed media. Such a fun and inexpensive project to make.

Lastly I finished up these signs I had started to make to hang in my bathroom. Not the most traditional saying to use for home decor, but it tickles my sense of humor, besides I really wanted something that would "match" these cute toilet paper rolls. :) I really like how these turned out and how they look hanging in the bathroom.

As far as finished altered projects this is it for now. I have one more thing in the works but it is going to take a bit more time to complete. I hope to get it done and posted soon as I cannot wait to show it off!!!! ;)

Ok, off to set up my next entry, just a few pages and cards I have made lately.

Happy Scrappin'
