This year's Gingerbread "house"

Well, actually... This year's house was a train :) But it was sure fun making it :)  Papers and elements are from Creative Memories Very Merry Digital kit and I used the Creative Memories Storybook Creator to make the page :)

More Crop Shop Projects!

Here's a few more projects I completed with the new lines coming in from CHA for The Crop Shop :)

This is from the My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup Line...

And... with the new Imaginisce Birthday line... which has THE COOLEST embellishments... look at those adorable "candles" and the springing "it's Party Time" They are very cool :)

New Pages and Mini Book using Imaginisce Apple Cider Line

I love being a part of The Crop Shop's Design Team!!! It's a fabulous store, I just wish it was closer!!! We had our meeting last week and got our new "assignments" One of my new lines is the FABULOUS Imaginisce Apple Cider Line... It's so wonderful for fall photos!!! Here's what I've come up with so far... I'm also using this line for my September Zutter Class at Ink About It in Westford...

Here's 3 layouts...

And the mini-book that I created...

The Crop Shop Projects... Using Making Memories Pitter Patter

How sweet is the Making Memories Pitter Patter line??? Just too sweet!!!  I was given this line for my August assignment for The Crop Shop, and drove down to drop them off yesterday... Also, very exciting news... The Crop Shop is going to be carrying Zutter products, and I'm going to be teaching classes there as well!! Yeah!!  Anyway, here are the 3 layouts and 2 cards that I created using the MM Pitter Patter (boy) line... Photos are my good friend Ryan's Godson :)

Easter

Here's a layout that I did recently... My friend Ryan teased me because it uses my QuicKutz Revolution, my new baby bug Cricut, AND my QuicKutz Silhouette :)  It's Die Cutting Overload :) The papers are Bo Bunny... as are the brads :) Orange is my favorite color, and these papers make me oh so happy!!! I still have a ton of this paper, but I've been hoarding it 'cause it's my favorite :) I'll have 3 more layouts to share tomorrow, as I'm dropping them off at The Crop Shop today (they were this month's DT work)

Pack Monadnock

We love the mountains!!! (as you can clearly see from MANY of my projects :)  Pack Monadnock is a favorite because you can hike it (it's not too hard, we've done it when the puppy was only 6 months old) and you can also drive up the summit road... for days when we're out in the "race car" or just too lazy to climb but want the "mountain."  Plus, did you check out the family picture?? Thanks so much to the random very nice person who offered to take a family shot for us!!!  I knew they must be OK 'cause they were carrying around their neck the same camera we have :) anyway... Here's a layout that I did last night... I used Bo Bunny patterned paper that I've been hoarding for several years... I'm cleaning out for a scrapbook yard sale and have decided that I REALLY need to use the papers that I love, and not just store them :)  Hence, this layout and the Pinewood Derby one too... Use it or lose it :) The alphas are QuicKutz "Supermarket" a new favorite!! and I think that the small one is "Sticky Note" but I have to double check that one :)

 

Also, trying to hit a goal of make cards with the scraps as you go along, then you always have plenty of cards at your disposal... So, when the layout was finished, here's the card I made with some of the scraps!

Pinewood Derby

Sean had such a fun time designing his very first Pinewood Derby car!! It didn't go all that fast, but he didn't come in last!!  Here's the 2 page layout I created... I used the fun and fabulous American Crafts Travel line... The patterned papers, the cardstock, the "pinewood" and the ribbon are all American Crafts... I cut the "Derby" using my QuicKutz Diesel, and then added some faux stitching with a white pen around the edges... The arrow is pointing to his car in the big line-up :)

By the Sea-Creative Imaginations Blog Sketch

I just used this BEAUTIFUL paper line for the next Zutter Class that will be held at Ink About It in Westford... (I'll share the pics of that project in just a couple days...  I was looking at the CI blog and website and found their June sketch challenge, and just knew instantly exactly what I wanted to do...

Here is the sketch...

 

And, here was my interpretation... I used the beautiful Christine Adolph Tidepool collection, I cut some of the seashells from one of the patterned papers to use as accents, and used the other papers for mats etc... I also added some actual crushed seashells as an accent...

June Crop Shop Projects!

I am so honored to have been chosen to be a part of The Crop Shop's Design Team!! It's quite a little ride to get there, but well worth the trip :)  Here are the projects that I completed for June...

Using the FABULOUS American Craft summer papers and elements, I created these 2 layouts and card... There may be a couple more cards coming, I still have a pile of scraps to use up... These 2 layouts will be a class at the store a little later in the summer :)

Summer Lovin' 12x12 Layout using American Crafts Patterned Papers (I cut the titles from a patterned paper) American Crafts Cardstock, and the adorable little Crab is also American Crafts :)

This layout was also created using American Crafts Patterned Papers, Cardstock, and the title cut from the same paper as the above titles...

 

And then this adorable card:

 

In my package I also got a big stack of Basic Grey Patterned Papers, and the Chipboard Shapes from the Cappella, I made this Father's Day album using the Maya Road Chipboard TShirt Album and those pretty papers... The Alphabet on the front is QuicKutz Diesel.

 

 

I made a matching card...

 

Then this layout, featuring a few photos from Sean's First Communion...

and a few cards with some of the scraps...

 

Jillibean Soup!

If you haven't seen the Jillibean Soup papers (and I also got some of their corrugated alphabets) you're missing out!! These papers are just fabulous!! I got a newsletter from a local scrapbook store that they got these fabulous papers in, and 2 days later I read that Jillibean Soup was having a Design Team Call! What a perfect excuse to "have" to go to the scrapbook store!!  They wanted to see 2 layouts/and or/2 cards/ and or/ 1 project... Well, once I got scrapping, I couldn't stop... So, I made everything :) Here's what I came up with... I hope they like them!

This Layout uses the beautiful Jillibean Soup patterned papers, the alphas are cut using QuicKutz Katie and Santa's Workshop, the QuicKutz Grass die, and the Martha Button Punch with a little bit of May Arts twine.

The kids had a FABULOUS time riding around the back yard in their own little car... Jillibean Papers, Jillibean Corrugated Letters, a few little brads and Bazzil Cardstock.

 

More of those fabulous Corrugated Letters (I bought all the colors the store had :) ), plus a scrap of the Jillibean Soup paper and Kraft... LOVE their Kraft!!

 

Who could resist those springy papers for a fun birthday card?? Not me :)  A little piece of sheer ribbon set off the beautiful Jillibean Soup Patterned Papers!

 

And... My Favorite... A few pages from a little mini-book for Kathryn's 6th Birthday... Fabulous Jillibean Papers, a ColorBok chipboard book, some Maya butterflies, Prima Felt Flowers, and a package of Junkitz buttons that have been sitting in my craft stuff for years, just waiting for the "right" project :) The fonts on the cover are QuicKutz Rainbow (happy) and Katie (6)

 

 

 

 

Wish me luck!! I would be just THRILLED beyond measure to be chosen as a part of their team!!
