Speed Scrap #118 at STS

I participated in speed scrap the other night at Stuff to Scrap. I love these, they are addicting and I love how different my pages turn out.

Here are the instructions for this one:
Step 1: Choose 4-5 Papers and 2 pictures
Step 2: Select one paper as your background, layer the second paper so that at least one side touches an edge of your layout
Step 3: Cut papers 3 and 4 into similar shapes no more than half the height or width of your layout, layer them and place them so at least one side of each is touching an edge of your layout
Step 4: Cut pictures to the same size and place them side by side on top of papers 3 and 4
Step 5: Cut paper 5 into a ring OR use a circular frame element and place it so that it goes over (or under) one picture and completely around the other picture
Step 6: Choose 1-3 elements and place them on the lower left corner of your left hand picture then duplicate the elements and place them on the upper right corner of the right hand picture
Step 7: Add a title, journaling, drop shadows, etc to complete your layout

And what I came up with....let's just say it looks NOTHING like the original that the instructions were based from. But I still like it!

March Card Club

So it has been brought to my attention by my friend Amanda, that I forgot to post the cards we did for card club last month! OOPS! lol So without further ado here they are! lol

The top on is by Karina, we used water color pencils and the blender pen to color the stamped image. Also we stamped the leaves on the card, isn't that cool?!

The next one is by the newest member of our group, Wendy. She is so creative, she actually got the flowers from the ones on the stems and just popped them off. DUH, why didn't I think of doing that?! lol


The top one in this picture is by a not new to the group, but the first time she has actually attended hehehehe, Kara. She actually HAND sewed the buttons on to the paper! How awesome is that?!

And the last one if from my fellow cricut lover, Amanda, lol She cut everything out with the cricut and then we put it together. Isn't that birdie so cute?! And we used the Martha Stewart glitter. I used the tourqoise glitter and it just sparkles! I keep forgetting but I did the leaves backwards so they have a bit of glue on them so I keep saying I am going to "stickle" the leaves to cover up the glue. lol

Jennie is my hero. She has the patience of a saint because I would never be able to figure out these pop-up cards that she keeps doing! They are so adorable and I am glad she has done all the work for me and I just have to put it together and then get the credit when I send them out! lol Thanks Jennie!

Isn't that flower nifty?! I think it is great!

And finally my card. It is a tri-fold card. It ended up a big bigger than I thought it was going to be, but I think it is cool!You can't see all the papers that I used because of the angle I took this at, but there were three different ones on the inside.

So there you have it. And card club for April is next week already and this is the very first month that I do not have something at least in mind already. I am a little stressed about this one. Not sure what I am going to do at all! YIKES! I better figure out something super quick though! lol If you have any cute, and semi simple ideas please pass them my way so I can do it for this month! lol

Lilac Love by Shel Belle Scraps

Shel Belle Scraps has out her newest monochromatic monthly kit starting today. It is called Lilac Love. All purple and white!! So pretty!!!! You can get it starting today on her blog. :-)

Here is my page. I took all of the wedding photos from our family and make them into one layout. It was part of a speed scrap and actually turned out awesome! I am so happy with it and then I used a bevel to make it looks like tiles! I totally love this layout!!

Then my mom is a HUGE purple fan, so I decided to create a layout of her using this kit. (This also fits in the S2L Challenge of putting a quote on your page.)

So if you like purple run over to Shel's blog and get the first part of the kit this Sunday and then the remaining Sundays of April! :-)

Well Read by Spinky Dink Scraps and simply.scraps (and MyLife Week 13)

Spinky Dink Scraps has teamed up with simply.scraps again to create another great kit called Well Read!!! It is all about books and reading and library stuff! lol Soooooo cool! Here is a preview of the kit! Isn't the little worm guy soooo cute?! And there is even a pair of reading glasses (my idea! lol)!

And my books from my favorite author, Richard Paul Evans. I cannot get enough of his books!!! If you have never read his books I highly recommend them!!! This also meets the My Life challenge for this week at STS. (Scrap about books, reading, etc)

SS#117 at STS

I participated in another speed scrap today at Stuff to Scrap! Here are the instructions:

STEP 1: PICK OUT 2 PICTURES FROM THE SAME EVENT AND PICK OUT 3 PAPERS.

STEP 2: USE 1 FOR YOUR BACKGROUND, CUT A CIRCLE OUT OF THE OTHER PAPER, AND USE THE 3RD PAPER HOWEVER YOU WANT, BUT IT MUST BE UNDER YOUR PICTURES.

STEP 3: PUT YOUR PICTURES ON YOUR PAGE. MAKE 1 SMALLER THAN THE OTHER. CLIP OR HANG THE LARGER PICTURE INTO PLACE AND SET THE SMALLER PICTURE SLIGHTLY ON TOP OF A CORNER OF THE LARGER PICTURE.

STEP 4: PUT YOUR CIRCLE PAPER UNDER YOUR PICTURES, AND YOUR OTHER PAPER UNDER YOUR PICTURES.

STEP 5: ADD 10 STAPLES AROUND YOUR CIRCLE PAPER.

ROFL - APRIL FOOLS!

The real step is as follows: STEP 5: USING AT LEAST 3 FLOWERS AND STRING, MAKE A LITTLE CLUSTER ON TOP OF YOUR PICTURES.

STEP 6: JOURNAL ON A SOLID PAPER PIECE OR TAG AND PUT NEAR OR WITH YOUR PICTURES. DON'T FORGET THE DATE- ANYWHERE ON YOUR LAYOUT.

STEP 7: ADD ONE OR TWO OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS OF YOUR CHOICE, DROP SHADOWS AND SAVE

Some people actually did the April Fools step! lol Oh and some even liked it so much they actually kept the results of the April Fools Step! lol While I like the way the page turned out, I must say I like the kit I used even more! It is soooo adorable! lol But here is my result!
