River Cruise

2012-01-31T07:55:00.000-05:00

When we were in Paris, we took a cruise down the river Seine. It was magnificent, and the perfect way to see the city!

Boy

2012-01-30T07:37:00.001-05:00

When I first saw this January pagemaps sketch, I knew I wanted to use it for the ultrasound pictures of my grandson coming in June. I had the best time putting it together.

Little Yellow Bicycle

2012-01-28T19:19:00.000-05:00

I love LYB and their Winter Twig collection is sooooooooooo pretty! Here's a page based on thier January/February sketch challenge.

Ploughman's Lunch

2012-01-24T07:32:00.000-05:00

On our trip to England, it was so much fun to watch Jackie get so excited over foods that she hadn't eaten in a long time. Typical pub fare includes a ploughman's lunch and she enjoyed it so much, and we enjoyed watching her!

Scrapbook Challenges

2012-01-23T08:53:00.001-05:00

I was so excited to see my page, "Share...It's a Cousin Thing", was chosen over at Scrapbook Challenges as a gallery gem. They have just moved to a new website, and it took me awhile to find my way there, but glad I did!

Woo-hoo!

2012-01-19T09:46:00.001-05:00

My layout below for the last Sketchy Thursday challenge, was chosen as a Sketchy Thursday Fave!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been chosen before but this time, it was kind of sentimental since it was the last one...you know, history!! There were over a hundred entries so I feel lucky to be one of the 16 chosen!! I am going to miss them!

Place du Tertre

2012-01-16T07:52:00.000-05:00

Back to vacation pages!

No More Sketchy Thursdays!

2012-01-12T11:30:00.002-05:00

I was sad to read this morning that Sketchy Thursday, one of my favorite sites for fresh sketches, will be closing. I am determined to use their last sketch which was posted this morning. Here it is

Fun on the slopes.

2012-01-10T07:22:00.001-05:00

I love Little Yellow Bicycle's Winter Twig collection of papers. They are so textured and nice. This picture is horrible. It's dark when I go to work and dark when I get home so it is taken with the help of an ott light. It is much prettier in real life.

2012-01-07T16:22:00.000-05:00

Decided to scrap a summer page for a change! LOL!!

More Christmas Pages

2012-01-06T10:49:00.000-05:00

I am hoping to move on from Christmas pages to more vacation and wedding pictures tonight. I may have one more Christmas one to do first.

Secret Stocking Stuffer

2011-12-15T12:58:00.001-05:00

I participated in a "Secret Stocking Stuffer" over on the Cricut Circle board. Mignonne had my name and here is a picture of all the goodies that I rec'd.

She handmade me some beautiful cards that I just love. This one is my favorite

I'm loving some vinyl

2011-12-12T14:38:00.000-05:00

I saw this design on the web, but can't remember where or I would give the crafter credit. I love vinyl. It's my new favorite scrappy thing.

Heaven Sent

2011-12-12T12:44:00.000-05:00

I made this with papers that my circle pal, Jennifer Yost, sent me. Thanks, Jennifer!

Hand Sanitizer Gifts

2011-12-06T11:35:00.000-05:00

Bath and Body Works sell the holiday hand sanitizers (1ounce size) for 5 for $5. I have enjoyed altering these for some coworkers. They are so easy. I used velcro to close some of them, and others I tucked the front behind a tag.

Sophie Blog Hop

2011-12-03T06:00:00.058-05:00

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Sophie Blog Hop! You will want to start at the beginning which is Michele's blog.

The Sophie cartridge comes with many features including cards, bookmarks, and doilies. Hop along with us to explore the Sophie cart and gain some inspiration!

I made a card and a scrapbook page to share with you today. This cart has three different card features. I am more of a scrapbooker, but with carts like this, cards are made easy!

Sophie has a feature called "Doily". You know, those lacey things that grandma use to have on her end tables and sometimes even on the back of the sofa!! LOL I like to hit the "Fit to Page" button on my expression, and make the doily in to a mat for my scrapbook pages. If you scroll down the posts here on my blog, you will notice two other pages that I have done this with. One is titled "hand picked" and the other is "where did time go". I've inked the edges on this page. I have also used the love birds shape that can be found on the very first button!

Before you move on to our other bloggers, leave a comment on this post for a chance to win 6 small Basic Grey Stamp Sets.

Don't forget to leave me a way to contact you if you are the winner! I will announce the winner on Monday evening.   Please go to Sharon's blog next. Have fun!

Just Married

2011-11-28T08:06:00.000-05:00

A very fruitful weekend!

2011-11-21T08:25:00.000-05:00

Our church holds a crop the last Friday of the month, but with Thanksgiving, we held it a week early, and decided to try an all day crop the following day. We were able to leave all of our things out on the tables when we left Friday night and just pick up and start scrapping on Saturday...it was great! Here are some pages I was able to do.

Where did time go?

2011-11-14T09:06:00.000-05:00

Thank You!

2011-11-07T10:22:00.000-05:00

My daughter, Heather, had seen this somewhere on the web, and knew she wanted her thank you cards done that way. I made the signs, cutting the words on my cricut, and had them at the church for the photographer to use. He liked them so well, he asked for the signs! Heather uploaded the picture to snapfish and made gorgeous folded cards that she sent out. Everyone loved them!

Finally starting to scrap the wedding.

Fall Fun

2011-10-24T11:14:00.001-04:00

Most of the pages I have done recently were of my sweet grand niece for my sister's album. I can't post them since she visits my blog. One is featured this week over at scrapbookchallenges.com if you'd like to check it out. I'm excited as it was my second recent feature over there!!

This page is of my daughter and her husband in Stokes County, North Carolina. The waterfall is just beautiful to me since you can walk behind it. I enjoyed putting this one together!

The London Eye

Christmas Cards

2011-10-03T10:09:00.002-04:00

Yes, I am making Christmas cards already this year!

Charming English Cottage

2011-09-15T08:50:00.001-04:00

Our friend, and co traveler, Shelda, knew that one of the things she wanted to see while in England was the thatched roofs on cottages. She enjoyed seeing them up close one Sunday when we parked in a small village and walked around. The tudor houses were also pretty. It feels good to get another page done for this album. Remember that you can click on the picture to enlarge it!

Scrapping with Hurricane Irene

2011-08-29T15:16:00.000-04:00

Stuck in the house with no power did give me some time to scrap. I was able to finish these layouts this weekend. The first one is a lift from the most recent issue of Scrapbooking Tips and Tricks on page 40 at the bottom of the page.

I thought it would serve as a nice overview of our trip and will be at the beginning of our album. Here are a few more I finished.

Hurricane Irene

2011-08-29T07:25:00.000-04:00

We have survived Hurricane Irene but there is still much clean up to be done. Yesterday, the neighbors worked together to get one yard done at a time. Here are a few pics of the mess.

Circle Pals

2011-08-26T08:59:00.000-04:00

I joined a circle pal group over on the Cricut Circle message board. I was paired up with a lovely girl from Arizona named Jennifer. We will exchange scrapbooking goodies a couple of times a month and chit chat through email during the week. I received my first package from her yesterday and it was full of embellishments and things that I can use to scrap not only our recent trip, but also Heather's wedding! It is fun to receive things that you didn't pick out because it broadens your horizons as to what is out there for scrapping. Jennifer has a sizzex machine that I don't have and she used it for the awesome hot pink and black daisies in the middle of the picture. Those were the colors used in the wedding. She also sent me some oragami dresses that are out of this world cute, and even a travel mini album that I have big ideas for. I am going to love these three months with Jennifer!

Still trying to keep up with the album that we will display at the wedding.

New Camera + vacation = Fun

2011-07-21T13:28:00.001-04:00

My husband bought me a new camera for Mother's Day and I had a great time experimenting with it while on vacation. The night pictures and the macro close ups were fun and I really liked the picture of my friend, Shelda with the flowers on the fence beside her and the thatched cottage behind her. It almost made us overlook the clouds in the sky behind her.

Picking Blueberries

2011-07-02T07:51:00.002-04:00

My new favorite paper company is Echo Park. The papers that I used on this page are from their "Summer Days" line.

Summer Scrapping

You're Invited

2011-06-21T07:34:00.000-04:00

When my sister was here visiting, we made use of the extra set of hands, and made an assembly line to get the invitations ready!

Pages from a bridal shower

2011-06-20T09:06:00.000-04:00

Here are a few pages that I finished this weekend of one of Heather's bridal showers.

Two new pages

2011-05-31T08:10:00.000-04:00

I am trying to stay current on my scrapping, but it is tough in the summer...too much going on!

Tryon Palace

2011-05-16T07:20:00.000-04:00

Years ago the governor's mansion was located in New Bern, North Carolina. Over spring break, Cory and Heather toured it. They have everything as it was in the 1800's.

Jewelry Party

2011-05-14T08:57:00.002-04:00

Sharing a sunset

2011-05-10T19:58:00.000-04:00

It is only fair that this page should follow the ones I did yesterday as they were taken on the same day. My daughter and her fiance captured this picture after spending the day at the beach. They said it was the perfect ending to a perfect day together.

Just Beachy

2011-05-09T20:10:00.000-04:00

I'm working on an album of Heather and Cory to display at their wedding in August. They love doing "day trips" which give me lots to work with!

North Carolina Lighthouses

2011-05-07T09:33:00.000-04:00

I've been dying to finish the album of all the lighthouses we visited last summer. I wanted to do a layout with all 7 of them so now it feels good to have got that off my "to do" list, and declare the album finished as well!

The Waiting Game

2011-05-07T07:32:00.000-04:00

My daughter and her fiance think that time is standing still as they wait for their wedding date in August. I, on the other hand, think time is flying by and wonder if it will all come together in time! I took the journaling from her facebook page.

Shaped card

2011-05-06T10:25:00.000-04:00

I am a HUGE fan of Creations with Christina and that is where I scraplifted this shaped card from.

Mum's day gift

2011-05-04T07:30:00.000-04:00

My friend Jackie has the sweetest mum (spelled with a "u" since they are British). I decided to make her a little mini album/brag book to carry in her purse of Jackie's son's wedding last month. I made the little box to put it in out of 2 sheets of cardstock and 1 piece of patterned paper. Mum is in the bottom right photo with her grandson. The paper belt slides right on to hold the album closed.

Variety

2011-05-02T07:56:00.000-04:00

I was able to finish a few pages this weekend and as I was taking pictures of them, I realized they were all for different albums. The first one is of our trip to Charleston and the other is of a doggie park we found in Melbourne last year. (I finished another page of my grandniece but can't post it as it goes in an album for my sister who checks out this blog from time to time) Gary and I were amazed that that the doggie park included a water fountain with a faucet at ground level for the doggie and another one at waist level for the owner! It was near the end of our trip when we found it one morning, and we were missing our two pups.

Dish Duty

2011-04-25T14:43:00.000-04:00

I am still trying to finish up the Australian albums. Here is one of our Pastor doing dishes at one of our missionaries homes.

New Friends at the Circus

Cobblestone Streets

2011-04-18T11:30:00.000-04:00

I made the butterfly bodies that were shown in the cricut circle blog last week.

hoppy easter card

Sweetgrass Baskets

2011-04-02T13:27:00.000-04:00

Trying to get the pictures of our Charleston trip done. I had a lot of the Basic Grey "Hopscotch" papers and I am just now finishing up what was left.

Pedal On

2011-04-02T11:00:00.000-04:00

I am having the best time with my new "Elegant Edges" cartridge. I used up the last of my scraps from The Little Yellow Bicycle's "Twig" papers for this page. I used the cartridge for the two borders and for the frames.

One Spring Day

2011-03-26T15:20:00.000-04:00

I had the best time with this kit from TSR.

New Cricut Cartridge

2011-03-21T09:08:00.000-04:00

I treated myself to the new "Elegant Edges" cricut cartridge on Saturday. It is full of mats, frames, and borders and will be a cartridge I use a lot!

My Southern Gentleman

2011-03-15T13:57:00.000-04:00

At the hotel in Charleston, I asked Gary to stand near the fireplace. When he struck his pose by the fireplace, I thought of all the southern gentlemen dressed in suits with pipes that you see in pictures doing that same pose!

Charleston

2011-03-13T08:24:00.000-04:00

After a quick getaway to Charleston last weekend, I have a few pages to post.

Check it out!

2011-03-04T08:38:00.000-05:00

Well it's Friday and I wanted to let my scrappy friends know about a fantastic giveaway at one of my favorite blogs, Practical Scrappers. They are giving away some Pink Paislee stuff. If you'd like a chance to win, go here.

The Wrong Side of the Road

2011-02-28T08:50:00.000-05:00

Okay Gab and Laura, my two sweet Aussie scrappy friends, don't take offense by this, but you drive on the WRONG side of the road!! LOL!!

Two Double Pages

2011-02-26T14:01:00.000-05:00

Still working on finishing up the Australia albums.

Roses, roses, and more roses

2011-02-16T08:48:00.002-05:00

New things to scrap

2011-02-12T18:38:00.000-05:00

My daughter became engaged last weekend. Now that gives me different things to scrap, and I am enjoying the journey. Here are a few pages.

Down under 2010

2011-01-31T15:02:00.000-05:00

My friend, Lenea, sent me the template to create this kind of pie wedge page. She made one for her trip to the big apple, and I fell in love with her page and knew I had to have one like it. I think it would make a good title page for the beginning of a book or it would be nice as the last page of an album...kind of a summary page. My friend, Jackie, borrowed the template and made one too. See what you think.

(Bee) ing Sweet

2011-01-22T14:57:00.000-05:00

I know it has been awhile since I've posted. I went to the monthly crop at the church last night and had a blast. I got several pages done but can only share one with you today. This is Jasper who is a bit mischievious on most days, but was actually sweet when this picture was taken.

So cute

2011-01-03T08:34:00.000-05:00

I love catching up on my own album. For this one, I used a sketch from over at Sassy Lil Sketches They have a great site that I tend to forget about so in 2011, I am going to do go there more often!

Christmas Greetings

2011-01-01T09:20:00.000-05:00

I used a sketch from over at sketchabilities for this page. These Basic Grey papers worked perfectly with these pictures of my great niece, Ana. I am finally able to scrap pictures for my own album after finishing three as Christmas gifts for other people!!

Dinner with Mrs Claus

2010-12-29T09:35:00.002-05:00

Snow

2010-12-27T05:20:00.000-05:00

11 inches of snow are making things interesting in North Carolina!

Echo Park Papers (Thanks, Sookie)

2010-12-23T08:45:00.000-05:00

I won some papers from the Echo Park line on a blog hop. Sookie sent them to me all the way from the Philipines so that made them even more special. I absolutely love this new company and look forward to seeing more of their papers in 2011. I was able to finish up an album that I was working on as a Christmas gift with them!!

Two more Christmas pages

2010-12-23T08:41:00.000-05:00

2010 Christmas Cards

2010-12-14T07:36:00.000-05:00

Garrett did much better this year although in the picture on the left he has his hand over his face but we think it must have been Santa's breath!

Not a fan

2010-12-13T07:47:00.000-05:00

I think these kind of pictures need to be scrapped. I laughed so hard last year when I saw this card. I couldn't believe she had used a bad picture but then she didn't have any good ones to pick from!! The little fellow did better this year as you will see in a few days!!

I used a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. I think the owner of that site is just so talented. She is the one who typically designs the sketches (Pamela Young).

Early Snow!

2010-12-04T19:30:00.000-05:00

We never get snow this early, but here it is on December 4th!!

Canberra at night and Easter Service

2010-12-02T11:25:00.000-05:00

Last night I finished up these two. I need to work on my Christmas bulletin board for Sunday School so no scrapping tonight!

Fall is in the air

2010-12-01T11:16:00.000-05:00

The photos of little Ella were so cute that I wanted to use a bunch but I only have a few pages left in the album that my daughter will give her mom as a Christmas gift. I was able to get quite a few pictures on one page with this first one.

Here are a couple of pictures of Gary and a friend of ours being silly with their pinky fingers extended.

You Ate It?

2010-11-29T09:39:00.000-05:00

Working hard to finish 3 books in time for Christmas. Here's one of my friend, Cindy, eating kangaroo while we were in Australia. I couldn't bring myself to eat it!

The Boo Crew

2010-11-24T07:36:00.000-05:00

With three little girls wearing pink costumes, these pictures laid on my scrappy desk for a couple of weeks. I would go past them and put papers next to them to see if they would match. Last night I found a scrap piece of paper from last month's TSR kit and the mulberry cardstock and at least in my mind, they worked!

Empty blog!

2010-11-22T08:26:00.000-05:00

I haven't posted in almost two weeks! That is so unlike me, but I've been scrapping some pages for my sisters album and she checks out my blog so I can't post them here until after I give it to her in February. If you read this, Sandy, they are beautiful!!!

Next weekend, the MOD team over at TSR (The Scraproom) will be showcasing some Christmas gift ideas. I worked on two different projects this weekend for that and I am so pleased with the outcome. I can't wait to share them.

Blue Mts

2010-11-09T07:41:00.000-05:00

I used up some scraps last night to make this two page layout from Nuts About Sketches Here's the sketch

And here are my pages using the sketch

Potty Training

2010-11-07T08:41:00.000-05:00

The hardest part of this page was trying to decide how to cover up that private part. I thought of using a button, a flower, or blurring it out digitally before printing the picture. I decided on a dot instead since the patterned paper had polka dots. I'm sure Ella will treasure (NOT) this page when she's older!!

The Jackson Five

2010-11-04T10:39:00.000-04:00

We took this picture to send to the three missionaries that we would be visiting in Australia so they would know who to look for at the airport, train station, etc. As we were taking this picture one Sunday evening at church, we were dubbed "The Jackson Five" since there were five of us and of course Pastor is Pastor Jackson. I thought I would use this as the title page for Pastor and Cindy's album.

Koala Kountry

2010-11-03T09:54:00.000-04:00

Getting a page done here and there. I'm going to have to step it up if I want to finish three different albums by Christmas. Here's one for Pastor and Cindy's album. I love Pastor's goofy face in the bottom right photo. He is such a funny person!

2 of a Kind

2010-10-30T17:42:00.001-04:00

I love this picture of my Pastor, who has a great sense of humor, with an Aborigine while we were in Australia. I watched a video on how to make the flowers over at Creations with Christina and I love how they turned out.

Sydney Opera House

2010-10-30T11:15:00.000-04:00

I needed to scrap the Opera House for the gift album I'm making for Pastor and Cindy so I found this cute little sketch over at Sketches by Tamara and here's what I came up with.

Flinders station

2010-10-27T13:24:00.000-04:00

This is the train station in Melbourne. It is so big it takes up two city blocks. A popular saying in Melbourne is "Meet you under the clocks" which refers to the row of clocks over the entrance announcing the departure and arrival time of the next trains.

Star Student

2010-10-22T12:01:00.000-04:00

I've been busy at work this week so not much time to scrap. I did squeak in this page that I worked on a little bit each night.

Girl Time

2010-10-19T13:32:00.000-04:00

When we were in Australia, the guys went golfing, and the ladies shopped. We stopped by this incredible cupcake place that we enjoyed. Only half the calories when you share the cupcake!!

It is great to be 8!

2010-10-17T16:44:00.000-04:00

I'm trying to keep current on several different albums that I have going. This one is for Heather's BFF. The party was yesterday and I scrapped it yesterday. Now that's current!

The Fair

2010-10-15T09:51:00.001-04:00

I had a good time scrapping these pictures of my daughter's friends children at the fair. I love the night time pictures. One of the two night photos is adorable with them holding hands and the other of them in the car with the ferris wheel behind them was precious. Heather likes the one of Garrett holding the box of popcorn. He was way in to that popcorn!

I used the American Crafts City Park papers that were included in the October's Scraproom Kit. You can check out this month's kit here.

Lots of scrappy pages done this weekend

Garcias in Sydney

2010-10-08T11:55:00.001-04:00

I've started an album for my Pastor and his wife, Cindy, who went with us to Australia. Here are two pages that I made using the double shot kits from The Scraproom. Oprah had Martha on her show earlier in the week and then offered everyone a 50% off coupon for a Martha item at Michaels. I used mine with a gift card that I rec'd for my birthday a couple of weeks ago to buy a punch around the page set. I used it for the first page.

Hanging Out At the Zoo

2010-10-06T12:57:00.000-04:00

I've been enjoying Liz Qualman's sketches over at My Little Sketch Blook This week her sketch included a large die cut dinosaur and she challenged everyone to use one or something similar. Well a 9" monkey was the best I could do! I also made a second page without a sketch in order to use some pictures that I wanted to include.

Sassafras Lass Warehouse Sale

2010-10-05T09:32:00.000-04:00

I rec'd a box from Sassafras Lass yesterday and it was so full that I wanted to share some pics with my scrappy friends. When they have a warehouse sale, it is so worth ordering from them. No, it is not their newest papers like Indie Girl that was in our last TSR kit, but there were so many great ones from their older stuff that I hadn't used before. In my box, there were four stamp sets, 8 sets of felties, 6 alphas, a ton of paper (two of each kind which make double pages so much easier), PLUS a 163 piece kit from the sweet marmalade line. Here are some pictures. Remember that you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.

Keep It Wild

2010-10-03T16:34:00.000-04:00

I am nearing completion of our Austalian album or should I say "albums" since there are two. I just have a couple more pages that I want to include. I've decided to do an album for our Pastor and his wife Cindy who were our traveling companions on this trip. I will use a lot of the same pictures that I used for our albums but will scrap them differently. Here is one that includes pictures of Pastor Jackson and Cindy.

MOD Squad blog hop

2010-09-30T21:36:00.000-04:00

If you are here for The Scraproom's MOD squad blog hop, you should have came from Marcia's blog.. If you didn't then you will want to start at the beginning which is Barbara's blog.. Many of you know me by my board name of "Jasper". That is actually my furry black friend's name that you can see in my picture at the top!

I am so pleased to be working on the MOD squad of TSR (The Scraproom) this year. I've been scrapping for a few years and love the kits that The Scraproom puts together for us each month. I enjoy scrapping not only our travels but our day to day life as well. My great niece, my furbabies, and my daughters friends, all provide me with different "subjects"!! A big part of scrapping for me is using my cricut machine. It was all the alphas and titles that first drew my attention to the cricut, but I soon learned that the shapes were perfect for my scrapbooking accents.

I don't make very many cards. I scrap mainly pages. With that being said, be easy on me! LOL!! For this blog hop, I used this sketch from pagemaps. (Yes, they have card sketches as well as page sketches!)

And here is my rendition of this sketch

I cut the title, ewe and the scallopped circle with my cricut. I used the cuttlebug to emboss the circle and the ewe. I love to use ribbon so of course I had to pick a sketch that included some. The papers all came from the September kit at The Scraproom. Cards are a great way to use up all those bits and pieces that are leftover from creating scrapbook pages.

Scroll down through my blog and have a look while you are here. Your next stop will be Lenea's blog.. Lenea will be my partner next year when we serve our three month MOD duty!

Dinner on Lygon Street

2010-09-30T10:59:00.000-04:00

We have had three days of rain thanks to tropical storm Nicole. What is a girl to do when it rains but scrap?

When we were in Sydney, everyone we met and told that we were going to Melbourne, said we had to eat on Lygon Street. They were so right! There were beautiful rows of restaurants and the owners would be out on the sidewalk encouraging passerbys to dine with them. Our host, Phil Waters, took us to this awesome Italian restaurant which was so good. After dinner we strolled down a couple doors to have coffee and a dessert at a different place and we sat outside under these huge heaters (it was fall while we were there). That will be another page!
