Croppin Weekend Retreat

Hey Stamper's!
Just thought I'd share some of my recent scrapbooking pages I made while at a weekend cropping event.
Below are some 6x6 pages that I made for these acrylic hanging frames for my girls.
The friends page was made using Stampin' Up!'s felt flower accents and the Sell-a-bration scallop punch.
The summer time page was made with punches and my cricut.
The blue and white pages were done with my Big Shot from Stampin' Up!

The 2 page 12x12 spread below is my youngest daughter at Binder Park Zoo. She did the face painting. Notice the tiger cut out...that I did with my Cricut. Then layered it up with white and green. Turned out pretty cool I think.

It was a great time! I plan on going again in September so I'd better get planning on what I want to work on. I'm sure its going to take me from now until then to get things all planned out!

Happy Stampin' & Scrapbookin'

Rag Quilt Purse

Hey Everyone! I know you don't hear from me in forever and then twice in one night. I guess that's because I'm feeling caught up a little bit in life. Today I actually took some time for myself and made me a Rag Quilt Purse.

They are all the rage and you use the Big Shot die cutter to create the scalloped squares. It took me between 4-5 hours to complete my first one from start to finish. So not bad I guess.
Here's the actual purse:













These are sets of material that I have for more Rag Quilt Purses. These were fun and a pretty quick quilting project.

Baby Scrapbooking

A few weekends ago I went on a weekend cropping retreat. I worked on a baby album for my sister who is due any day. We know she's having a boy so that made doing the layout easy for colors.

I have not added pictures as of yet so you'll have to use your creative mind to see the pictures on there.

As you can see I used my cricut ALOT on these pages. Now we just need to get this baby to come into the world so we can get his pictures too.

Hope you enjoy these pages!

NEW TOYS!!!!!!!

Ok let me put my disclaimer in here first...

I know, I know I'm a Stampin' Up! demonstrator but I do like other brands of "toys" also! So don't hate me for this but I just have to share my excitement!

Are you ready???

I GOT A CRICUT EXPRESSIONS!!!!

WHAT?????? You don't know what that is??? It's a machine that cuts out shapes and fonts.

It looks like this

I went on a scrapbooking retreat a few weekends ago and played with my Cricut. I'll share the pages that I did with it. I did use Stampin' Up! cardstock so it's partly Stampin' Up! .

I just had to share or maybe its a confession.

So are you ready to see what I did with them?

You'll see there is some Big Shot die cuts on the Monster Baby page. So there you go...I've confessed that I have waivered from Stampin' Up! for a bit but don't worry...Stampin' Up! is my first love of papercrafting! They have THE BEST product out there!

Hope you enjoy the pages..leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
