Happy Birthday

Another birthday card. Enjoy!

Another birthday card using the Patterned Party stamp set from Stampin' Up. I forced myself to make some birthday cards using all of the stamps in this set.

Real Read cardstock base, with a layer which has been embossed with an embossing folder. Presents were stamped separately in Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red, cut out and adhered with foam dots to a Whisper White rectangle, which has been pierced with piercing tool. Sentiment is stamped with Pacific Point. Retired Real Red ribbon and yellow cordoury button. Not sure where blue button is from. Under the ribbon is a scallop edge boarder. Thanks for looking.

Patterned Party

Here's a birthday card I created using the Patterned Party stamp set from Stampin' Up.

Card base is Pacific Point and Whisper White. Balloons were colored with Brights Stampin' Write Markers. Birthday sentiment stamped in Real Red, backed with Pacific Point and popped up with foam dots. Good card to keep in my collection for a child's birthday. Thanks for looking.

Christmas inspiration

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted to my blog. I would love to say that I will post more regularly, but somehow life seems to get in the way.

Here is a single page layout I created recently of my kids looking at their Magic Santa videos last Christmas. Hope is 6 and Hunter 10 in these pictures. I love the look of amazement on their faces.

Single Page Sunday

I hope you are not getting sick of my Disney pages. I have this Minnie Mouse layout for Single Page Sunday. I really liked how this turned out. I still haven't put the journaling on. I tend to do that alot with my layouts. Probably because I am always looking for the perfect words to say, keeping in mind that years from now someone is going to read what I write!

Hope you're having a great day!

Daily Dish

So I have come up with some titles for my daily dish.

Saturday - "Sketchy Saturday" will feature layouts made using a sketch.

Sunday - "Single Page Sunday" will feature single page layouts.

Monday - "Media Mondays" will feature a new website or blog that I discovered.

Tuesday - "Timeless Tuesdays" will feature some of my old scrapbook pages.

Wednesday - "Whatever Wednesday" will be whatever I feel like sharing.

Thursday - "Twin Thursday" will feature double page layouts.

Friday - "Friday Greetings" will feature a greeting card.

So in keeping with this schedule I have created for myself, for Sketch Saturday I have this layout to share with you.






I made this layout using a Page Maps sketch featured in Project 12 by Scrapbook and Cards Today. You can see the sketch here.

Thanks for stopping by.
