Graphic 45 Cigar Box

I finished this cigar box using the new Graphic 45 Curtain Call paperline.  I left the bottom natural as I am going to store stamps in the box.

Craftware House Challenge March 17, 2011

Our local craft store, sponsors a scrapbook club once a month.  Each month they give us a half sheet of paper, sometimes a whole sheet of cardstock and some embellishments and a theme.

This months theme was adore.  They gave us a half sheet of rose paper (not my favorite), the background sheet of cardstock and a ticket and piece of ribbon.  I added metal, flowers and a word sticker phrase. The border punches were MS doily lace, EK Success scallop w/pin holes around the edge, Fiskars scallop and Spellbinders Fleur De Lise accents.  Those of you who know me well, know I detest stickers, but this one worked and used something that had been in my stash for about 8 years.

Redo of the April 2010 TBC Kit

I had done this layout last fall and was not happy with it.  I received my new Spellbinders dies today and added them to the layout, which gave it a somewhat finished appearance.  It still needs something but it is better than this morning.

I used BoBunny Mamma Razzie paper line, Spellbinders S5-042 Fleur De Lis Accents, Tim Holtz stick pins, and Thickers letters.

Ken Griffey Jr. returned to the Mariners in 2009. These layouts were from opening day.

I did this layout for a photo challenge that Vanessa posted on the Remember When message board awhile ago. Princess Furball managed to jump on top shelf of our entertainment center. Then proceeded to lay there like "what's ya goin a do this is my new sleeping spot". 

I was able to salvage these pictures from a lovely shade of deep purple and orange.  This is the best I could do, but at least we can see their faces.  These pictures were taken in 1978. I used QK Fiesta, Roxy mini.  The chipboard letters are old Prima.

Mariners Album

This is the cover of the album that I did for the Seattle Mariners auction in November 2009.  All of the interior pages were cut in the shape of the state of Washington.  If I remember correctly there were 30 pages total in this album.  I also made 2 more like this one for a good friend and one for me.

Just the beginning

Today is a new journey for me into the art of blogging. 

I have been scrapbooking for about 14 years.  The products and techniques have evolved in those years.  I hope that my projects will inspire you to grow in your scrapbooking hobby and that you will try some of the new techniques that emerge every day.

I have been called a tool junkie.  My tools of choice are Quickutz, Spellbinders, Silhouette and Cricut. Some would say, and rightly so, there is not a tool on the market that I have not tried. 

My favorite designers are Tim Holtz, Teresa Collins, Donna Salazar, the Designers of Graphic 45 and Basic Grey.

It is time to get scrapping, so I will see you later.
