I had to make a couple of cards last weekend for my son to take to a pool party. A couple of his friends, twins, a girl and a boy were turning 13. I was stomped on the card for the boy when my son told me to cut a football and basketball with my Cricut. What a great idea; it gave me an opportunity to use the Sports Mania cartridge I purchased last summer. What can I say, it was on sale and I got a good deal, right?

I very seldom do a layout of just me, but here goes. My girlfriend took some pictures of my son and me, while at a gala. I liked the way the pictures turned out, so I decided I scrap the picture of my by myself. I also scrapped the others, but wanted to share this one. I have to tell you that I enjoyed the purple and green color combination because generally, purple is a color that I stay away from; hmmm, don't like it at all. What can I say, I'm branching out.

I have a wonderful Godchild, who's heading into her Sr. year of high school. She's such a "girly" girl and I enjoy making cards to send to her. So while I should have been asleep, but wasn't, I decided to make her a card at 6:15 in the morning: go figure. Turns out I had a good time and the house was quiet. I'll have to plan for more early morning scrapping.

I needed to make a quick birthday card, that didn't look like a quick card, so I scraplifted an idea from one of my favorite blogs, Stop and Stamp The Roses. I wanted to make the design my own, so I added additional ribbon and pearl bling: oh-la-la.

I wanted to share the items I designed using the July kit, Tiramisu, from LeBistro Rose Scrapbooking Kit Club. I wasn't so sure about this kit at first glance; I drew a blank, but once I pulled all the supplies out, spread it on my workstation, the ideas started coming to mind. I wanted to do some painting, so I picked up a paper mache' mailbox at Hobby Lobby and painted it using Tim Holtz' alcohol inks: fun, fun, fun. Then, I wanted to do a couple of layouts, so I grabbed a couple of pictures from last summer's vacation and got busy.

Back to basics, blue and brown. I like to have encouragement and thank you cards on hand, so here's to adding to my stash.

Isn't this G.C.D. paper wonderful? I certainly think it is; I've been looking at it for a while, trying to decide what to do with it. Well, here's what I did. What do you think?

After talking with my girlfriend several months ago, she made me realize "I needed a scoring pad", so I printed an online coupon, we jumped in the car, drove 50 miles to Archiver's to purchase a Scor-Pal and used it twice. Then about 2 months ago she tells me how "we need the new Martha Stewart Scoring Board, so again, I printed an online coupon, jumped in the car, drove to the nearest Michael's to purchase the Scoring Board and have finally used it. I must say, that I absolutely love this tool.

Well I have finally scrapped some pictures from last summer's vacation in Cancun. I printed the pictures months ago and put them to the side, but I needed to get some layouts done. I used one of the Bo-Bunny summer lines and lots of bright flowers.
You can't see it on this photo, but the top layer of the card is a piece of clear acrylic, attached to the pink floral piece. The bling and flower are actually attached to the piece of acrylic, not the pattern paper. This is the last card for the card class I taught over the weekend at By Design Scrapbook Boutique. I think I'll pick up some more acrylic to play around a little more; really like it.

When I saw this paper and ribbon, I automatically thought about Disney, though that's not the theme I had in mind. The pattern paper has raised bling dots on it, so I wanted to make a "happy" card. I think I succeeded.

In my haste to get ready for a card class, I almost ran out of time for Father's Day cards, then I looked at the Card Pattern sketch for last week, sketch #68 and thought it would be just perfect. This is my interpretation of the sketch.

I needed to make a masculine birthday card and I wanted to participate in the Mojo Monday sketch, so I combined the two and here is my take on the sketch. I like the way it turned out and I finally used one of the Hero Arts stamps that I purchased a few months ago; had to have it that day but hadn't used it until last night.

Mulberry flowers, Cuttlebug Border, black and white striped paper and bling, putting that all together sounds like a card to me, how about you? I had a great time making this card, didn't have to think about it too long, once I grabbed for the border embossing folder. I created the card around that folder and I like the final product.

This photo doesn't do this paper justice, the flowers on the paper are glittered with jeweled bling in the center; beautiful. Creating this card was like welcoming in a ray of sunshine on one rainy evening.

Hi there, I'm back. It's been several weeks since I've posted anything, but I've been making cards and scrapping. I've been on a scrap-a-thon, completing a 20-page album for a customer. I will post some of those pages later, but for now I wanted to post this vintage looking card I created for one of my card classes.

My last card for April birthdays. This has been a very busy month for cardmaking, but hey, who's complaining; certainly not me. Sending them gives me an excuse to keep making them. I saw this card sketch on the web and my mind starting racing with ideas for paper; call it a sickness, I don't care, it helps to keep me sane. 
Another May birthday card. You can't see it, but I am patting myself on the back. I don't have to mail this card for 2 weeks, but it is ready and will be sitting in an envelope, with stamp, waiting for that day.
Enjoy,
TFSB
