Scrapping!

I've been on vacation for the past week. I had a couple day trips .. one to the Brewers game in Milwaukee and another to visit my cousin. I've been shopping a couple days and just enjoying the time away from work. I've also gotten some crafting done! In earlier posts I featured some of the cards that I made, below are some of the layouts that I finished this week. Most of these pictures were taken in 2009, one was last September, shows you how far behind I am in getting my pictures onto layouts!

this was loosely based on a sketch from the creative soup forum
I just loved the strips!

SP Color Combo #117

These 2 cards were made with this week's color combo challenge at Scrapmasters Paradise
The colors to use were Very Vanilla, Crumbcake and Regal Rose

On the top card I used an embossing folder on the vanilla cardstock then layered it on regal rose cardstock then attached on a crumbcake base. The butterflies (stamps by jillibean soup) were stamped then cut out and attached to the card. The sentiment is from SP & Company Stamps ultimate sentiments set

On the lower card I used my cricut Country Life cartridge to cut the sheep. Using your Country Life cartridge was a Tuesday challenge on the Scrappy Moms blog. I cut the sheep in the 3 colors and stamped the sentiment with the Fantasia alphabet stamps also from SP & Company

thanks for looking!

OWH Birthday Bash - Day 3

This month the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Blog is having a birthday bash to celebrate the day they became an organization. That day is September 12 (which is also my birthday!!) but they are celebrating with challenges all month long!

This card was made for Day 3's challenge which was to use eyelets on your card. I haven't used eyelets in years! It was a great challenge and although my project is pretty simple, I'm glad I was able to get the eyelets out and use them again!
