Color Me Monday

Jeannette Lynton posted these colors (Black, Smokey Plum, Sweet Leaf, and Colonial White) on her blog as a Hallowe'en color combo, but I think they work nicely for a feminine birthday card. I used another pattern from Wishes, called Delightful Dots.Supplies (all CTMH): Colonial White card base, Smokey Plum cardstock, patterned paper from Emporium...

A Christmas Present for the Grandparents

I've been having trouble viewing my blog (I think our ancient computer has something wrong with it, although it's only MY blog that's not working), so I haven't posted for a while, but here I'm going to give it another go. This is meant to be an accordian album (6x6 My Creations Memory Showcase), but a customer of mine suggested doing a workshop making...

A Card for SPCC 19

Hey, guess what! I made Top 5 at SPCC for my "You're a Star" card! I was so surprised to see it posted on their site, I think I shouted out! Anyway, that just made me more motivated to try this colour combo. It was a tricky one, I didn't know if I'd be able to manage it, but now I'm really happy with how well the colours go together. I didn't have...

Flower Power

I made this layout using a pattern from Imagine, one of Close to My Heart's books, and pictures I took of my daughter last year at around this time. It takes me back to when it was just the two of us at home together, short-lived as it was. Once I started working, we didn't have much Mommy-Daughter time. Oh well, that's why I scrapbook these memories....

New! Wonder Heartfelt Die-Cuts!

I ordered these felt shapes from Close to My Heart with my last order, and I was pretty stoked! What a great deal for $12.50! They come in three 12x12 sheets, so at first, you can't tell all what you're getting. So last night I spent some time punching out all of the shapes, and wow! My favourites are the snowflakes and the cute little hedgehogs....

Mojo Monday 107 and SPCC 18

I really loved both the Mojo Monday sketch for this week, and the color combo from SPCC, so of course I had to kill two birds with one stone, and here is the result!Supplies (all CTMH): Colonial White card base, Colonial White and Chocolate cardstock, patterned paper from Key to My Heart paper packet and Stardust Level 2 paper packet, Thoughtful Seasons...

Scrapmaster's Paradise WCMD Combo #3

I made this card using a scrap piece of Kraft cardstock and with the help of Originals, a fantastic card-making resource book from Close to My Heart. It is a 3x3 card, and will probably go to one of my newest customers, but I'm thinking it's looking a little plain... Maybe some buttons or prisma glitter would help liven it up! Supplies (all CTMH):...

Another Double Whammy!

This very simple card combines two different challenges. The first is Scrapmaster's Paradise WCMD Combo #1. The second is a card sketch from Card Positioning Systems, CPS 136. I like the colors, but I'm wondering if the card itself is a little too simple? Not really sure what I could add, what with the busy patterned paper. Hmmm, might have to...

Scrapmaster's Paradise WCMD Combo #4

This color challenge was to use the colors:I didn't have anything exactly the same, but I did find this picture that I've been meaning to scrapbook or frame for a really long time. It's a photo from 3 years ago, when we had just moved to Dawson City. The whole family had to travel down to Whitehorse to sign some papers for the purchase of our first...

Double Whammy

I combined two challenges for this cute Treetops card. The pattern is from Card Patterns Sketch 34, and the colors (Colonial White, Garden Green, Cranberry and Cocoa) are from Jeannette Lynton's Color Me Monday. I really struggled with what stamp set to use, but when in doubt, go for Treetops!Supplies (all CTMH): Colonial White card base, Colonial...

Ugh! This layout is driving me nuts!!!!!

So I used the colors, or as close as I could get to them, from SPCC #17, and I do love how the colors go with these pictures, but that's about the only thing that I do like. Just about everything went wrong with it, too, from cutting the bottom pic too small, to running out of the red patterned paper for my journaling block, then cutting the red...
