Buttoned Togther

One of my favorite stamp sets from the Summer Catalog is Buttoned Together. You can actually stamp your buttons! In this card I used a layering effect with foam 3-d squares to make the card come to life. I also mixed up the way the card opens by taking a 4x12 and scoring at the 4" lines on either side.

Not so Pink Now!

Still a work in progress, I know. But by tomorrow I will have a completed layout for you. I took our current promotion and took out the pink for my all boy family. This is using Moon Doggie. So, stay tuned and tomorrow you will see the completed layout!

Memorial Day

Today, we celebrate our freedoms and we remember the fallen who gave us those freedoms.

For all of you have served our country to protect our rights as Americans I thank you. For all the mothers, wives, daughters, fathers, sons who have served or love someone who has served I thank you. I know at times we forget what today is...but I understand how blessed I am to live in this country and to have the liberties we have.

Create your own circles!

Have you ever thought to create your own circles, by drawing them by hand and then cutting them out? I know for those of you A types it is hard, but it is good scrapbook therapy. This layout uses hand drawn circles to embellish the page and it cost me nothing! Try it hand made shapes are great embellishments!

Christmas Cookies

All this shaped paper at times is hard to work into a page. Here I took the shape and cut it in half. Angled my pics...kinda ol' school but it works for the page because it balances the page well. Then I highlighted the cookies with our new CTMH connection club special. Added my stamps and some trees for deco!
