Scrapbooking, Tulip Love

TulipLove
 
Once again I was inspired by a challenge blog, but this time it was the paper girls challenge.  The challenge was April showers brings May flowers so you can use raindrops, umbrellas, or flowers.  Now rainy season is finally starting to come to and end so I decided to focus on flowers.  Of course, the photos I used was from the tulip festival that happens every year in Mount Vernon, WA in April.  Out here in the NW it is more like rain October-March brings flowers in April and May.  Though, I might have jinxed myself because it rained this evening.  Maybe I should have done a page on Moose's rain boots.....or I can save that for a sunny day.

I had a lot of fun stitching on this page.  I stitched a cute heart on the orange paper and then cut the paper and stitched it to "fix" it back together.  I also used a ribbon and weaved it through the yellow paper.  The ribbon I used was a little on the big size, but I really liked the rich purple color on the yellow.  My journaling is hidden in the little pocket.  I figured I had enough going on with this page.

    Oh my these photos are so precious! And how lucky to have so much rain. I live in the southeast corner of Colorado (almost Kansas) and it is so dry here. We are basically in a drought. It's so tough for the farmers. Anyway! Thanks so much for linking up this great layout to my challenge over at The Paper Girls!

Car Roll Tutorial

  November is such a crazy time.  There are so many projects that have to be made for birthdays and Christmas.  Making things is so much more fun then buying something random.  Anyways, I made this cute car roll for Moose's best buddy's 2nd birthday.  I'm loving how it came out and her friend has been having a blast putting his hot wheels in the little pockets.  So here is how I made it so you can make one too!  I don't have photos for every step because Moose was "helping" me the entire time and I couldn't juggle her and a camera very well.   Supplies: 1/4 of a yard of green fabric 1/4 of a yard of some fun print fabric Batting (about 16 inches by 9 1/2 inches) 5 Pieces of scraps of fabric at are 4 inches by 4 1/2 inches Felt for roads, dirt, and water (I used the felt rectangle pieces you see everywhere in craft stores) Bias Tape Button Elastic or a hair tie  Step 1: Cut ...

Scrapbooking, Pumpkin Patch

  I loved how the water color background turned out for my son's page so much, that I had to try it again.  This time, I thought I would make a two page layout for my daughter's book since it has been a very long time since I've tried one.   I wanted to scrap these pumpkin patch pictures from last year because we were just about to go to the pumpkin patch again and I thought they would help me get into the fall mood.  I just love fall, but the weather in the pacific northwest is so unpredictable this time of year.  You never know if there is going to be a sunny day to go pumpkin picking so you have to take advantage of one when it comes!   Scrap Our Stash had their Tic Tac Toe challenge again, so I thought I would give it a go.  I went right down the center and did 3 buttons, decorative pins, and wood veneers.  I scattered buttons randomly onto the page.  I used up the little joy pin from Little Yellow Bicycle that I had laying ...

Scrapbooking, First Solo

I can't believe how much time has gone by since I last scrapbooked.  Well, I finally have been inspired to scrap again and I found a fun challenge with a very happy mood board that got my creative juices going again. Recently, my daughter got to dance her first solo on a stage.  I had only seen her dance this when she was first learning this.  She had a broken wrist at the time, so I never had seen some of the moves until she danced it on stage.  It had been over a year since she was on a stage and she has never been on one all by herself.  I wasn't sure how she was going to do.  I could tell she was getting nervous, but she did a beautiful job.  I was a very proud mommy.  =)  I really wanted to add one more picture, so I added this photo on a pull out tab.  I always enjoy the pages that have a little interactive part to them. While the paper I used for this layout was all new, all the embellishments are things that I have had for a lon...
