My Scraproom!

I thought I'd share some pictures of

my scraproom with you.



Summer 2009

Heres a picture I finally decided to scrap, that I've had

sitting in a box for quite a while now.

 I did this layout with one of my favourite papers.

Its Kaisercraft Wise from the What a Hoot! collection.

I stamped behind the pictures for some added

dimension.  I then punched out some butterflies with my

Martha Stewart 3in1 Butterfly Punch.  And the border is
K&Company Handmade Borders.

This is one of my favourite Thickers!

Jewelry Box in brown.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Imaginisce!!!!

I just wanted to say "Thanks" to Imaginisce.

I won a prize pack of the entire Animal Crackers

collection!!! And its fabulous!

Stay tuned, to see what I create with

all this fabulousness, in the very near future!!!



This was hard.....

This had to be one of the hardest projects I've done!

Why?, you ask, well let me start

by saying, the actual concept was super easy,

it was the challenge that Marie from my LSS

Paper Craft Cafe gave me.  Marie handed me

a Kaisercraft 9 Frame Photo Display &

Kaisercraft Homemade Collection paper. 

And asked me to design this for her store.

The reason I struggled with this project was

because of the paper.  It is not my style, It was not

something that I would have chosen.  Poor Marie,

this project took me forever!  But after many hours,

looking, thinking and rearranging and detailing,

this is what I came up with!  I tried to do little

things that would put a bit of my style on it without

taking away from the "homey" feeling of the paper.

I started by painting the frame black, then

I put a coat of brown over top.  When it dried I sanded it a

bit to give it a worn look.

Here is a close up of some hand stitching that I did.

The pattern was printed on the paper, but I had to put 

my spin on it, so I sat at my desk, and hand pierced all the

little holes so that I could cross stitch the birds. 

I love the depth it gives to the paper!

Here I just added a button with some floss to

make the clock "pop" a little

I did the same here, but I aslo added a bit of

sparkle on the white line with my Sakura

Stardust Pen

Here I added some scraps of ribbon

Here I punched some flowers, from some scraps of

paper I had.  I had to add some sparkle!

I have to say, once I figure out how to work with this paper,

the project flew!  I think I may have to teach a

class on this in the near future!



Scrapbooking Day....

So my friend Marie, who own the LSS in my area has

asked me to hold some demo's on

Saturday May 7  for

Scrapbooking Day!  How exciting! I was

thinking of doing some Make & Takes

and some demo's.....

Any suggestions of what I should do????

Would love to hear your ideas!

Finally...

I can finally see my blog! Yay! I felt so lost all weekend.

(Seriously? I need a life...lol!).  Later I'll post some pictures

of the embellishments I made for a swap and

some pictures of my son

Liam's 1st Birthday Invitations that I made.

So, some days I could just pull my hair out!

Especially when my laptop crashes, and I have to use

my husbands!  So here I am, getting ready to post

new stuff on my blog AND, I cannot see my blog!

Apparently, his computer does not like my blog. I can see

my title, and my patterns on the sides, but thats it! Nothing

that I've posted! UGhhhh! So until tonight, or tomorrow

Im stuck with his laptop.  In the meantime, hopefully this will post, and

that way you know I'm not ignoring you!!!! Until later......

Organization

Here a picture of my shelf in my scraproom.

I love all the colours!  I like to have my supplies

out in the open where I can see them.  I find that if

I have them hidden, I forget about them!



My Garden

I was sifting through the hundreds of pictures

I had taken of my garden last year, and thought to myself,

what am I going to do with all these?  I decided to use my square

punch and punch out the "pretty" parts of all the pictures, and

turn it into 1 layout.  Here is what I came up with...



Monkey Business

This is a quick layout I did of

my son Noah @ 10 months.

I used K & Company's Actopus to Zelephant Collection!

Our House

Here is a layout I did awhile ago

I scraplifted this from Kristake on Scrapbook.com.

I couldn't resist!  What a great idea!  This will

be fun to look at with the kids in the years that come!

I thought it was a unique way to journal random

bits of information, that would have otherwise been

a challange to write much about.
