Today is my niece Hana's birthday. 14 years ago I assisted my sister with her birth. Cindy went into labor just before midnight on Christmas Day and I spent all day on my birthday laboring with her. Unfortunately, Hana didn't emerge until a couple of hours into the 27th! So we don't share a birthday but still the most special birthday I ever had!
Welcome to my blog! I am currently focusing on paper crafts but I don't limit my blog. You may see cards, scrapbook layouts, jewelry, photography and mixed media projects. I hope you are inspired by what you see here and you are welcome share but please give credit to any ideas you may borrow. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your visit.

Digital Dad Xmas Present: Ugly Christmas Sweater
I created this digital project for my boyfriend's dad's Christmas gift. I used Peppermint Creative's Ugly Christmas Sweater kit. It just happen to free one day just before Christmas, bonus!! The patterns were great for the pictures from the 70's. I spent a quite few hours scanning, a true labour of love of the family preservationist. I also used a Creative Memories overlay from Wishful on the left hand side and sampled a color from the page in Storybook Creator 4.0.

Creative Memories Noel Digital Layout
I made this digital layout to frame for one of my grandmothers for a Christmas gift. I started with a Primary Christmas Predesigned Page for four pictures using the orientation I needed. I used the Creative Memories Noel Digital Kit and the Noel Digital Embellishments to replace the primary paper and embellishments. I used a Winter Frost overlay and changed the color and opacity. The quote was a Creative Memories freebie.Sunday, December 16, 2012

Creative Memories title sticker. Lace from Hobby Lobby.

Kraft-y Christmas Cards!
I used Kraft paper and kraft paper colored cardstock to create this rustic Christmas card. I also used this awesome paper from EK success's Color Sense System. The color is zucchini/spruce, it is a double sided gorgeous paper, this is the dark side. I used an old, I mean old corner rounder only the second one I owned on the corners and kept the stars and used the Creative Memories Precision Point Glue Pen to adhere them randomly. I used kraft colored raffia ribbon. I embossed the trees and quotes in an iridescent green you can't quite see the detail here. The patterned green paper is old stock from Creative Memories. I popped up the quotes on pop dots.Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Graphic 45 Challenge Thank you card
I noticed this Graphic 45 challenge to make a Thank you card this afternoon. I used the On the Boardwalk Collection papers Coney Island and By the Beautiful Sea. I used an Autumn Leaves Stampology Greetings "thanks", I love having 3 layers of stamping! I used Colorbox inks black to edge, amber, topaz and terra cotta to stamp the image. I used Recollections lace on a roll from Michael's (already has adhesive-yeah!). I used a Creative Memories corner rounder for the edges, buttons, floss, and ivory cardstock.

"Vintage Gears" Steampunk using Creative Memories Border Maker System
Here is a close up of the border I made with the Creative Memories Border Maker System and the Scallop cartridge. I have used gears by Tim Holtz and brads from Hobby Lobby. Chalked the edges. I used a lot of cat's eyes.
A view of both pages using Vintage Gears paper by GCD and Donna Salazar from the Antiquities collection. I have also used pieces from the die cut sheet in the collection. I added pink cardstock and edged the mat with the scallop cartridge as well.
The lace ribbon is from Hobby Lobby in the sewing section not the scrapbooking section. It is a much large spool and better deal in notions.
