My In-laws

The Scrapping Out Loud challenge of the week was to use fabric. With all the moving and cleaning happening in this house, I just weeded out a whole bunch of my fabric. So I went upstairs and found some of my MILs fabric. I thought if I was using her fabric then I should try and do a page with her kids in it.

This picture was taken at my BILs funeral(not the same bil funeral as the other one, just behind in scrapping.....). I couldn't believe we got everyone in the shot and it didn't turn out too badly. There are a couple of the kids in there so I'm just pretending that they aren't there.

The sketch is from Sisterhood of Scrap the sketch Saturday. I used scallop notes instead of a circle, again. Urban West rub-ons, brads from GinaK.

Also, it looks crooked in the picture but not crooked when I look at it on my desk......can't figure that one out.

Pajama Day

I know I haven't blogged in awhile, sorry. I was dealing with a mia pre-order from SU! Gotta love UPS.




I finished this page yesterday. It has been sitting there calling my name since February. This was Waneeke going to school one morning. She was so excited that she got to wear her pajamas.

One of the reasons I love SU! so much is the colour matching. I love that I can take a piece of dsp, go to the chart that tells you what colours are in the dsp, grab those colours of cardstock and make a page. I love that you can take a priceless Bella stamp and make her match the colours in the dsp, very easily.

When I started this page it was for vsbn on scs. I believe the challenge was to use some of the new gotta have it stuff that you bought but never used. I always have problems doing those types of challenges, not because I want to not use my new stuff but because I get new stuff and I use it right away. So in this challenge, I inked up my newly obtained Bella and grabbed some awesome flowers that I got for FREE from GinaK. For the title I used SU!'s Taffy Alphabet and I did the kiss technique with an itty bitty background stamp to make it look polka dotted.

And because I absolutely love getting new stuff and I did get my new stuff on Thursday, thanks to a very sweet demo. I did a card today using my pink pirouette, and my sock monkey stamp.

This was for the Dare to Get Dirty 08. We were to first pick a piece of ribbon(I had one in front of me and went with that) then make a card to go with that ribbon. I glued two strips of ribbon on some naturals ivory cardstock and then stamped my sock monkey onto it. Then I stamped a sock monkey onto another piece of naturals ivory cardstock. I ribbon pieced my monkey together. My new stuff used.....sock monkey, pink pirouette, scallop edge punch.

I really want to get better at colouring.

Variety Challenge

This has only taken me all week. On Friday Tessa was the guest hostess for the variety challenge on SCS. I started out using my baby boy but Chez stole the one paper I was going to use, and then glued it to something....so I started over again.

We had to use 3 different dsp from 3 different companies. (I used SEI, SU and an unknown one from my olden scrappin days) And to add to that we also had to use 3 diffent embies from 3 different companies. (I used pti ribbon, GinaK brads, and something else I don't know the name of that I got in a ss swap, the logo is a Q with a crown in the middle.

We have a busy day ahead of us, but I'll check back in later to show you the blog candy.
