Serving up slices of Lemon Meringue

We're serving up Lemon Meringue this month at Le Bistro Rose Kit Club. The layouts, card and painted wooden frame are my contributions to the meal. We are given a kit, filled with great papers, cardstock, ribbon and embellishments, and asked to work exclusively from that. We are able to add paints and a few other items. Talk about challenging your creativity, but at the end of the day, I can say that I had a great time. Head on over to the Bistro to see the kit and other great creative dishes: http://www.lebistrorosescrapbookkits.typepad.com/

Our Summer

So much fun; that's all I can say. Yesterday, while I was in Michael's, with a coupon of course, I saw this paper mache book. I thought about the Lumiere paints, distressing inks, distressed Stickles and Tattered Angels glimmer mist I had at home, and the crackle paint I could purchase at By Design Scrapbook Boutique and WALLAHHHHH, here's what I came up with. I'm going to store paraphenalia and extra pictures from our vacation inside the book.

Football #37

This is my son's last year in middle school and I'm sure the last year that he'll let me make stuff to put on his school locker. I'm going to take advantage of it too. He's playing football again this year, #37, so I cut this football and will be adding magnet strips to the back of it, to hang on his locker door. I cut the football from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge, layered it then covered it with Mod Podge to perserve it. He was actually pretty excited when he saw it; I was excited that he was excited. I told you, I'm going to take advantage of this year.

Challenge #10

For this challenge, Velma sent each of us a picture of a lady in black slacks, a black and white polka dot top and a red belt. She told us to use the picture as inspiration for the challenge. Well, first of all let me say how much I love black and white; throw in a splash of red and I'm thrilled. I wasn't sure what I was going to create with all of the black and white paper I've got, but I walked into my favorite scrapbook store, By Design Scrapbook Boutique, as they were unpacking some just-delivered pattern paper and what did I see; black and white polka dot paper. I saw it and thought this is perfect, so I bought a couple of sheets. I wanted to make something fun and festive, so I came up with this cute little purse-card.

I hope you like it because I had a BLAST making it. I was having such a good time with the paper, that I added a matching envelope.
