April Art Freckles Kit Creations

2011-05-12T10:26:00.000-04:00

The April Art Freckles Flea Market Summer kit is full of nice bright colours. There is Lily Bee "This and That" papers, My Mind's Eye trim, the cutest Crate Paper buttons, Maya Mist, alphas a summer rubber stamp and more! I had lots of fun with this summer inspired kit!

Home Sweet Home Sign ~ I used the Maya mist to cover the wooden sign, then used the papers buttons and ribbon to embellish it. The alphas were a bit small, so I adhered them to cardstock then cut it out around them a little bigger than the letters.
The Gardens ~ Yet another of my pages from our trip to the Botanical Gardens in Montreal. For this one I used the Art Freckles layout sketch challenge from December you can find HERE. Better late than never LOL! The sketch is by Pagemaps. I love, love, love the buttons in this kit!

You & Me ~ I misted around the edge of the page and did a lot of layering on this page of me and my daughter.

And last but not least a summer mini album using the kit, a Kaiser Craft wooden album, some twine, some Inque Boutique felt and a few other goodies from my stash.

You can check out the rest of the Design Team creations in the gallery right HERE. Sadly the kit is SOLD OUT!!

Art Freckles March Kit Creations

2011-05-03T13:22:00.004-04:00

The March Art Freckles "Tweets From Nature" kit did not last long! Full of Yellow Bicycle "Twig" paper, Thickers, tickets, flowers, ribbon, canvas tags and all kinds of goodies it was one beautiful kit!! Here are my creations with it.

For You Card ~ I love the tags and ribbon that came with the kit. I put 2 of the leaf stick pins in behind so no one would get stuck!
My Best Friend Card ~ Love those corrugated Yellow Bicycle shapes! I cut up the Prima flower ribbon to make a bunch of flowers.

Jumbo Lollipops ~ I used 3 of the kit tags on this page and in keeping with the round lollipops in the pic, cut out a bunch of circles from the Twig papers.

Botanical Gardens ~ Yet another page from our trip to the botanical gardens in Montreal...I'll be done eventually!

Peek-a-Boo ~ I love these photos of my daughter and niece peeking out from behind the trees and I thought the tree paper would be perfect for the background. I cut the leaves off the satin roses and made my own out of the patterned paper.

This kit is one of my favourites (I say that a lot, but Shannon rocks at putting kits together!), hopefully you were able to get your hands on one! You can check out the rest of the Design Team's creations with this kit right HERE.

Art Freckles It's A Love Thing Blog Hop!!

2011-02-12T09:00:00.004-05:00

It's time to do some blog hopping again! In honour of Valentine's Day on Monday, Art Freckles is having an "It's a Love Thing" blog hop today!!

For your scrapbooking entertainment and inspiration here is a lovey layout I did of my hubby and I. I combined 2 of Art Freckles kits to make it: this month's The Brady's kit (one of my fave's!) and the December 2010 card kit.

I also made 4 Valentine's Day cards using the November 2010 card kit. It is a Christmas themed card kit, but with a few lovey embellishments from my stash (MYB, MM & Pink Paislee) I was able to do a love theme! Shows just how versatile the kits are!!

I used one Pagemaps sketch to do all 4 cards and the sketch is Art Freckles card sketch of the month for February! You can find the sketch and the challenge thread right HERE.

The next stop on your blog hop will be the lovely Stephanie Zito right HERE. Have fun hopping and if you didn't start at the beginning...go back to Art Freckles blog right HERE. There will be a draw for a RAK from Art Freckles from everyone that posts on all the blogs today! Happy Valentine's Day!!

January Challenges

2011-02-03T07:00:00.002-05:00

I got a couple of Art Freckles challenges done this month...

First there is the layout sketch challenge. The sketch is by Pagemaps. You can check the sketch out in the challenge thread HERE. This was also from our trip to Niagara Falls 2 years ago, lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.

And MY challenge on Art Freckles for January is to use rubons! You can check out my challenge thread HERE. I used rubons for the title and on little plastic pieces stapled to the bottom right of the page.

Marineland

2011-02-02T07:00:00.001-05:00

One of my goals for 2011 is to get caught up on scrapping some older photos so I can get some of the hundreds of layouts I have sitting in drawers into albums. I have been working on our vacation to Niagara Falls in the summer of 2008 for the last couple of weeks. Here are a few pages from our trip to Marineland. I was also using up some of my older Fancy Pants papers...another goal ~ use up some of my stash!

Christmas Gifts

2011-01-30T07:00:00.005-05:00

I made a few Christmas gifts this year. My Mom knits gifts for people all the time, usually baby blankets...so I used a set of Stampin' Up knitting stamps to make a bunch of cards for her to give with her gifts. Here are a couple of the cards:

And I made this banner for my niece. It looks small in the photo, but it goes across the top of the door to her room. I love how it turned out!

A Bit of Disney and Orlando

2011-01-28T13:00:00.002-05:00

Tina's Scrapbooking Creations has lots of papers for your Disney/Orlando vacation!

Lots of fun from our Disney vacation! Only a few thousand more photos to scrap LOL!

Christmas Pages

2011-01-24T22:25:00.004-05:00

Art Freckles January Kit Creations

2011-01-13T13:25:00.003-05:00

Another month means another fabulous Art Freckles kit! This month's kit is called "First Kiss" and it's full beautiful Pink Paislee papers as well as Girls Paperie embellishments, ribbon, a butterfly and more! You can pick it up HERE.

I made 2 cards using the January sketch challenge from Art Freckles found HERE. The sketch is by Pagemaps.

I altered an old Making Memories package to make a cute gift box for tags and notecards.

I love when background papers don't need a lot added to them and there are lots of those kinds of papers in this kit!

The Paper Girl Sticker Market stickers come with so many different ones you'll be using them for a long time! There are the big alphas I used for "Miga", the more delicate pink alphas I used for "wear", the little tiny word stickers I used for my journalling, as well as some border stickers! And there are 2 sheets of the word stickers!!

I still have lots of the kit left, so I will probably do some more creating with it as the month goes by!

You can check out the other design team creations HERE. There will be more added as the month goes by also...

The Art Freckles January card kit is equally yummy. There are not very many left, you can find it HERE. Hopefully I will start making some cards with mine soon!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T13:13:00.002-05:00

Happy New Year 2011!! It's hard to believe another year has come and gone! It was another productive scrappy year for me...

In 2010 I managed to do:
-310 layouts (12 less than last year)
-183 cards (same as last year)
-43 altered items/minibooks (10 more than last year)

It felt like I didn't get as much done as I have in the past, but I guess I did!

I have not set any scrappy goals for 2011, but I really really want to use up some of my HUGE stash!! I have made a budget (both scrappy and non) and am planning on sticking with it! No shopping for a while...

I still have not finished scrapping our vacation from 2008 or Christmas 2008 so they are at the top of the list of things to do :) And I haven't printed any pics since April, so I think some new pics are in order!!

Here are pics of the handmade gifts Brielle and I made for Christmas this year.

She made "snowman soup" hot chocolate mix for all her friends:

And I made Chocolate Lover's Cookie mix in a jar. I used Stampin' Up matching paper and fabric. I really love the coordinating fabric lines they are coming out with!

All the best to everyone in 2011!!

Birthday Bash

2010-12-29T09:43:00.004-05:00

Well I have been slow to upload lately, so it's time to play catch up! All of these creations are using the Birthday Bash line by Imaginisce from Tina's Scrapbooking Creations found HERE. This line is sooooo cute!!

And a 2 pager: left side

right side:

both sides together:

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with some more new stuff!!

2010-12-16T10:25:00.007-05:00

I always love Christmas scrapbooking so I look forward to the new Christmas paper lines each year. The December Art Freckles Tinsel Town kit is just beautiful! You can find it right HERE. With beautiful 2 sided heavy weight Teresa Collins paper, ribbon and chipboard, bells, leaves tinsel and more, the kit is packed with Christmas fun!

Here are my creations with the kit:

Merry Christmas Card ~ used my Cricut for the card and deer shape.

Season's Greetings Card ~ used my Cricut for the sentiment.

Merry Christmas Card ~ a little vintagey

Joy Card ~ used my Cricut for the deer here as well.

Peace Layout ~ used my Cricut for the "peace"

Noel Layout ~ the "noel" is a dollar store wooden decoration

Our Family Christmas 2009 Printer's Tray ~ the printer's tray is by 7 Gypsies. It was so fun to do!

I hope you have enjoyed my creations as much as I enjoyed the kit!! You can check out the other design team creations with the kit right HERE. There are just a few kits left, so get yours while you can! Happy Holidays!!

Holiday Hostess Gifts Blog Hop

2010-12-08T09:00:00.003-05:00

Art Freckles is having a "Holiday Hostess Gifts blog hop" today! You should have arrived her directly from the Art Freckles blog HERE. You'll be able to hop from my blog to the other Design Team blogs for some great holiday hostess gift ideas. 'Tis the season for holiday parties!!

My hostess gift idea is a stamped tile coaster.

First gather your supplies: Stazon ink, stamps, 4x4 tiles (from a home improvement store, they are very cheap), felt circles for under furniture (small) and some markers. I used Copics.

Clean your tile with a damp cloth and dry. Stamp your image on the tile with Stazon. It is a little tricky to get a great impression without slipping, as the tiles are very smooth.

Here are my 2 tiles:

Allow ink to dry for a few hours or overnight. Then carefully colour in your images with markers. I found with the Copics even though the ink was dry it still blended with the markers. I used Stazon to ink around the edges of the tile as well.

Once you are done colouring, bake your tile in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes to heat set.

When your tiles have cooled add some felt circles under the bottom side of the tile and you are done!

Here are my 2 finished tile coasters:

Your next stop on the blog hop is Stephanie's blog right HERE. In case you get lost...after Stephanie it will be Shannon's BLOG, then Jamie's BLOG.

Have fun hopping!!

The November Art Freckles Orchard Treasures kit is just perfect for Fall, apple picking and more...so that is just what I used it for!

You Are The Apple of My Eye Card ~ I used my Cricut for the sentiment.

Apple Picking ~ The apple embellishments were perfect for this layout of my daughter and niece apple picking last month.

2010-08-10T19:17:00.002-04:00

The August Art Freckles 'An Artful Life' kit is full of so many beautiful elements you will be creating for days! Here are 3 layouts with the kit:

Bouquet

I made some of my very own flowers and leaves with punches and sandpaper on this layout. I LOVE the artisan element for my title!

My 'Updo'

I altered 2 of the Artisan Elements on this layout. On the top on I used gold Glimmer Mist. On the one in the centre of the page, I dabbed it in distress ink, spritzed it with water and let it dry. Then I painted it with clear Crackle Paint and added a few gems to the centre.

The Girls

I used part of the Prima packaging on this layout. They are just too pretty to throw in the recycling bin!!

You can see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this kit right HERE, and I will be back with the cards I made with the kit very soon!

Our theme is 'BACK TO BASICS'. Thinking back to the tools and techniques we used when we first started scrapbooking. My challenge for you is to use "die cut frames" on a layout.

Just for fun we thought we would share one of our original layouts with this item from when we first started scrapbooking. I made this layout about 10 or 11 years ago. One of my first layouts. Gotta love it LOL!

And here is my 2 pager from present day! I have had these frames kicking about for a while and I thought they would be fun to use with my daughter's Knex creations pics. The papers are from the Paper Girl line and you can find them HERE.

Left page:

So just to recap, don't forget to leave me a comment here today. If you do a layout using die cut frames, then link it here in the comment section also. And if you do just one layout using all the challenge items, link it to the Art Freckles blog. Clear as mud? You will have til 8a.m. EST Monday May 3rd to link your layouts.

I'm Still Alive

2010-04-20T22:24:00.002-04:00

I know I have not been around in a WHILE, life has been busy and I have barely even had time to scrap! :( Last week I had to get my taxes done (finally, phew!), we had birthdays going on, and continuing on to this week I was/am getting 42 Playmobil auctions ready to post on eBay this weekend. Need to make some cash and clean out some unused stuff! Then today we decided we will be taking a trip down east at the end of June, so I was busy booking flights etc. As well I have a crop this weekend (Friday evening and 9-9 Saturday) so I have to get myself organized for that. Hopefully I will get lots done at the crop and have lots to post next week!

Nikki Sivils Sketch

2010-04-13T21:51:00.004-04:00

Nikki Sivils has a great sketch challenge on her blog HERE. The sketch is by Anna Bowkis and all of the DT interpretations are delish! Here is mine:

Spring Banner

2010-04-11T07:00:00.002-04:00

Here is a cute little banner I made for Tina's Scrapbooking Creations. The butterflies and alphas are Tattered Angels framed nature fonts. They are super cute, all embossed and you can use the positive and negative parts so you have twice as many letters. I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist ~ coffee shop. The papers are Jillibean Soup Egg Drop Soup line.

Jillibean Soup Recipe Book

2010-04-10T07:00:00.006-04:00

I made this recipe book for Tina's Scrapbooking Creations.

The book was just plain chipboard (not sure who made it) and I sprayed all of it with Maya Mist ~ brown. I love Maya Mist because it doesn't warp at all, it covers really well, and it dries quickly, though it is a bit messy. I made myself a box to do all my spraying in, so just my hands were messy.

The papers and stickers are all Jillibean Soup (Chicken Noodle Soup, Christmas, Staples, Minestrone and Lentil Soup lines). All the die cuts are from my Cricut, From my Kitchen cartridge.

Happy Birthday!

2010-04-09T10:23:00.002-04:00

Time for another Cricutters Anonymous challenge! #32 All in the Family challenge is to make a gift or project for another family member.

Here is mine...a birthday card for my sister-in-law. I used the Wild Card cart for the whole thing. It is my favourite cartridge so far!

Contest Layout

2010-04-09T07:00:00.001-04:00

Here is my entry for Tina's spring kit contest. She has a different kit for each season, and it's a mystery you don't get to see it til you open it. You can only use what's in the kit (and markers/stamps etc.) Here is the 2 pager I came up with. I just love this Flutter line by Making Memories!! Yum! I used up just about everything...I have some felt words, a couple brads and buttons and some paper scraps left.

I don't usually get too much done at crops, but hopefully this one will be different :)

Tina's Stuff

2010-03-29T10:50:00.008-04:00

Sorry I have not been around too much. Not much new that I have scrapped to post and last week was just crazy busy with plumbing problems and well, life in general!!

Friday night we had a fun DT get together at Tina's Scrapbooking Creations in Winchester. It was great to see everyone and work with the new products, though I think I had a case of food poisoning and was not feeling very well. I ended up staying from 7 til almost 11pm though and by Saturday afternoon I was feeling much better.

While I was there I got a double page layout done using the new Making Memories Pitter Patter collection and a card using the new Jillibean Soup Easter line. The Jillibean soup is the yummiest ever! Unfortunately I don't have pics of what I did as I left them on display at Tina's. I brought lots of new scrappy goodies home and will be doing lots more hopefully this week!

Here is what I worked on last week for Tina though...

A Maya Road chipboard cupcake birthday album using Best Creations birthday line.

And a mini birthday gift bag using the same line:

A tooth fairy layout using the Remisce tooth fairy line

And a travel layout using the MME Abbey Road On the Go line

A Few Quick Layouts

I don't know where my time goes lately, with birthdays and appointments this month is just flying by. I am hoping February is a little more relaxing. I am still making time for scrapping...trying to catch up on some older pics and get a little more up-to-date, though I think it is almost impossible with the amount of photos I take. Here are a few quick layouts I did with pics back in '08.

Some More Bo Bunny Love Bandit

I have carved out a little time for scrapping lately, though there seem to be so many other things to do! I think I'll be happy when January is over, it's way too busy! Here are 2 layouts with the Bo Bunny Love Bandit collection from Tina's Scrapbooking Creations.

I still have lots of this line left, so I will have to get cracking!! It is one of my favourites...I am all about cute!!
