Hello! Here's another page I made at my weekend crop. It's about Luray Caverns, which were the first caverns we visited when we went to Virginia and North Carolina in 2012. It was truly impressive!! You can't imagine how vast they are and how beautiful!
I used the old collection "Ambrosia" by Basic Grey. The colors were just perfect. And how about that drippy Martha Stewart punch to mimic stalactites? I thought that was pretty cool!
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your scrappy time!

Hi there! Here's another layout I did during my weekend crop. This one's about my favorite Disney character, Donald Duck. I like him because he's not as perfect as Mickey! ;-)
It's based on this sketch by Becky Fleck at Pagemaps.
The title means "Hurray for the Duck!" and is meant as a companion page to one I did a while ago. I used another old Basic Grey collection, "Oh Baby Boy!".
That's all I have for now! Have a scrappy week!

Hi! Here's a layout I did about the magical fireworks at Disney World! We were there for New Year's Eve in 2012. They really go all out!! Talk about magical! I used the April sketch from Anna's Craft Cupboard which took me out of my comfort zone a little bit!
I used a sunburst stencil by Heidi Swapp and misted my dark background with different shimmery mists. The picture didn't turn out very well though. I used Inka Gold to distress the black plastic letters by Tim Holtz for the word "night". I love that cute little Mickey and Minnie sticker! It's hard to tell, but they're surrounded by their own little fireworks.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Here's a layout I made during my scrappy weekend getaway last week! It's another kitty layout... can't go wrong with those! ;-) It's based on this sketch from "Cap de scrapper ça", a French challenge blog.
I used embossed Core'dinations cardstock which I sanded as the background and some scraps from Basic Grey's "Sweet Threads". I used a fabric polaroid frame from Crate Paper, Blue Fern Studios chipboard, a Studio Calico cat wood veneer and a few other embellies.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Easter weekend! Hope you find some time to scrap!

Yes, they do! Well, in my life anyway! I love my kitties and I love being surrounded by them. Even corrections and working on report cards (which is what I was doing in the pictures) are smoother when you have a cat or two helping out! ;) (Notice the 2nd kitty lying down behind me on the chair...)
The layout is based on this sketch from Simple Scrapbooks.
I'm back from my weekend crop and had a blast! We were hard-core croppers and enjoyed every minute of it. It will take me the week to make up for lost sleep but it was worth it! Had so much fun with my two scrappy friends too! I'm a slow scrapper but I did manage to get 6 1/2 pages done, which is pretty good for me! I haven't finished unpacking and I haven't taken pictures of all my layouts yet but I will share when I can. Thanks for taking a peek at my work!
Have a great week!

Sorry it's been so quiet around here... I haven't been scrapping lately... I've been feeling under a gloomy cloud. So I scrapped about it! It felt good to clear up a spot on my messy scrap desk and get busy again!
I used this sketch from the April sketch challenge at Scrapbook Plus Des Laurentides. I'm going to their weekend crop next week, so I'm hoping that will get me back into a scrappy mood!
This is the layout I made. The picture is a stock photo from the internet. I used some old 7 Gypsies paper for the background to which I added some stenciling (Prima crackle stencil by Finnabair) with ink and paint-colored modeling paste. Other papers are old scraps from Karent Foster, Cosmo Cricket, Daisy D's... I used stamps from We R Memory Keepers(Sew Stamper around the page), Stampers Anonymous - Claudine Hellmuth (the raindrops, foam + acrylic), Unity (the girl), Imaginisce (the cloud, stamped on cork), Sandy Lion (the tab and the word strip at the bottom) and Technique Tuesday (the arrow at the bottom). Felt good to scrap again!
I should have a few layouts to share after my scrappy weekend! The crop theme is "The Rio de Janeiro Carnival"... intriguing! Stay tuned!
