Grandpa Turns 100!!

  This week my Grandpa turns 100. He's doing great and next weekend we are celebrating with a little party. Here's the card I put together for him. It's got a copy of the calendar from the year he was born. (My mom has the original and scanned it, it's no wonder I have a hard time throwing anything away!!)

iScrap Challenge #33

Another WeScrap challenge, and another "favorite things" topic. I really like these challenges. This one was favorite things in your closet.

Here was my entry for Challenge #33.

iScrap Challenge #31

I finally found some time to work on scrapbooking today. We've been pretty busy, and I've been pretty wiped out, not feeling well for a few reasons so getting to finally work on a couple pages again was extremely welcome.

Since enduring "the flood" courtesy of our neighbor I've been wanting to capture the experience on a layout. WeScrap challenge #31 fit the bill... it was to capture the ups and downs of the month/summer/etc. The downside: the flood, the upside: new floors.

Birthday Card for Mom

I am tempted to say this is my most favorite card I've ever made. I know I tend to feel this way after completing a lot of projects, but this one I really really love! I kinda wanted to keep it on display in my scrapbook room, but that would defeat the purpose of why I made it. The card itself is semi-transparent made out of scrap pieces from an old calendar that I've kept because it just seemed like it would be a cool material to work with. Then added rub-ons, journaling block to the back, flowers, extra large jewel brad (disassembled), distressed chipboard to highlight the center of the flower, small scalloped scrap with pearl strip and an embellished die cut 2 covered in silver balls. Hopefully my mom will love it as much as I do. Happy Birthday Mom.

It's almost pumpkin season

It's hard to believe that pumpkin time is just around the corner. I was in the fall mood this evening (despite the weather hanging on to summer). Perhaps I'm yearning for the real start of fall with perfectly pleasant days and cool evenings. Until then here's the first fall card of the season.

Supplies:
