Scrapbook Pages

I haven't scrapbooked in a long time, so yesterday when my kids were with their Grandma I decided that I'd scrapbook. I had such a relaxing and fun time! I have even scrapbooked some today. My husband was really glad that I used some of the supplies that I've had forever and that I didn't have to go buy anything else.

These are pictures of my daughter sitting all by herself for the first time. I used my Cherish or Imagine book for the sketch. I did this layout for a challenge at http://www.hookedonstamping.com/
I found an old Close To My Heart Kit for the pattern paper. Used my Cricut for the tag and flowers (Plantin Cartridge), Font is Pooh Bear Font.

Because I do pages for 5 books I will often use a sketch 5 times and change the papers used. More Close to My Heart papers, font and flowers Plantin Cartridge.

I found some cute Polar Bear Papers that I had hidden for this page. The font is from the Seasame Street Font. My son is trying to share his popcorn with his sister.

Used an old kit I had from StoryTellers Club, also used one of Close to My Hearts Sketch books (I'm loving those books).

Years ago I did a swap for paper piecing patterns, I've saved them because someday I may use them. Today was that someday. All the little blocks came from that swap. In the left hand corner I still need to journal.

Thanks for looking! I'm really hoping that the scrapbooking streak last for awhile.

Fruity Cards

Every month I participate in a card swap with some friends in the neighborhood. This month the theme was anything fruity or veggie. Here are the 2 cards I made for the swap.

I love strawberries lately. I just can't resist the cute strawberry on the Hello Kitty Greetings cart. I used some old Bo Bunny scraps for the cute plaid background. The strawberry pattern is from DCWV the Sweet stack. I also used Papertrey Ink for the card base. The stamp saying say thank you berry much, its from Papertrey Ink the set is Greenthumbs (I think).

I used my Hello Kitty Greeting cartridge for the cherry, some fibers that I've had for years, and the pattern paper is from Colorbok.

Finally doing a blog...

After weeks of the great blog debate I've decided to jump in and join the blogging world. I'm going to do a blog where I can show off the cards, cricut creations and scrapbook pages I do. Stay tuned for my simple yet fun creations. Hopefully I'll have time today to upload some pictures. If not for sure Monday.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
