Scrapbooking, Me and My Shadow

The page makes me so happy! I made it for my entry to be on the SWAT design team. I feel like there are a lot of design team calls going on right now!

I really love these photos of my daughter. The sun had been hiding all winter and spring and finally on July 4th it came out! My daughter had no idea what a shadow was. I wanted the page to have a nod to the 4th of July since that is when it took place, but I didn't want it to be all red, white, and blue. I found some old paper in my stash (I think it came from and old DCWV summer stack) that looked really similar to the table cloth in the photos. I knew I just had to use it!

Once again I played around with shaker boxes. This time I cut a star out and made the box behind it. The box is a little deeper then I expected, so it is kind of hard to see what is inside of it. One of these days I will be completely happy with how they turn out. I also made a cute little pinwheel. I also used a really old red feather that I have had in a box of random stuff from high school. It even could be from middle school...eek! I have no idea why I have held on to it for 10-15 years. Anyways, it worked so well with this page and I'm glad to finally put it to some kind of use.

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, 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...

Scrapbooking, Melt My Heart

I've got one more rainbow inspired layout to share. This time I played along with Scrap Our Stash . I used the following five items up from the list. 1. Stripe Paper (I may have a rainbow stripe addiction when it comes to paper) 2. Paper Clip (the orange arrow at the top) 3. Wood Veneer (the cute arrow) 4. Flair (I've got two. The circle heart from Amy Tangerine and the square sunshine from a Freckled Fawn Kit) 5. Enamel Dots (I've got a few green in one corner and a few orange in another) I used a bunch of pop dots on this layout to keep some of the corners up and to give the clouds some layering. I kind of forgotten just how handy those little things can be in giving depth to a page. I also decided to keep my journaling hidden since this page has so much going on pattern wise with no good breaks.
