Scrap That! September Challenge

Scrap That's challenge was to do a layout using a song title.  After listening to many of my CD's I picked Perfect Day by Lady Antebellum.  It talks about how we're busy living in a perfect day & living in the moment.  These pictures of a special day we had with some friends.  I apologize for the photos-I haven't figured out the best way to photograph.
I wanted the grass to look 3D-I drew it in with markers and then added cut paper that I highlighted with markers. 


I created the sun by cutting a circle & then trimming it.  I used dimensional dots under it to give it a 3D look.  The orange, red & purple flowers are chipboard that I painted with acrylic paint.  The centers are of course-buttons.


The 3 little flowers are chipboard inked & then embossed with crystal embossing power.

Live Life Like you Mean It

Finished a new mini album using Z Fold Technique learned from Laura Denison.   Used 6x9 envelopes and a small money collection envelope attached to make the Z pages.

Features Stampin Up stamps, crystal embossing powder, ribbon.  The front cover has a piece of chipboard coated in metalic colors.

Love the earthtones in the papers.  Has total of 10 tags 2 1/2 x 4, 5 tags 6x6.  5 pages with flaps that holds pictures & the inside & back cover will hold a picture.

Great way to store your photos.  Makes great gifts.

Stampin Up Convention-Loads of FUN!

Took pictures of all the cards they had displayed. OMG!  They were awesome. They had demonstrations showing how to make the accordian medallians, roses out of a piece of ribbon, multiple ways to use your punches-the list goes on & on. Took lots of notes. Brought home 2 completed make & takes & 3-4 to do at home. Even picked up some chipboard that others left behind!  All in all had a fabulous day!
My Stampin Up consultant was so fun to go with and I am thrilled she asked me! Thanks Vicki!











This isn't all of them-only 12 pics out of 30!!  But enjoy seeing other's talents.

Scrapbook Haul today

Have been using up all my scrap paper on my mini albums.  Went to get brown cardstock @ Walmart today. They had some scrapbook stuff on SALE!!  I got 5 pads of solids and one pad of girl baby paper with tags.  Lots of their stickers were 75cents along with some letters in black & white.

Am waiting to receive some paper & a scoreboard that I ordered from Amazon.  I've been checking prices everywhere & found Amazon cheaper than even Ebay. Was very surprised.

Not if I can start selling them to get more money to invest-I'll be really happy.

Mini Album Heaven!

Am working on my 6th mini album. I'm using 6x9 envelopes.  It's a bit more challenging than the other types I've done.  Creasing & folding the envelope-it was hard to keep it from acting warped.  One of the 5 I couldn't subdue.  If anyone has any ideas, please let me know for next time.

Since I only get to work for an hour a day after work, I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow night.  Will some embellishments & bling.  Will post pic hopefully by Friday.

Will be attending the Stampin Up Convention all day Saturday! Can't wait.
