30 Days of Creativity - Day 5 Sisters

Well I was up till 3:30am last night crafting! Sometimes I get on that roll and can't stop or I lose momentum. Anyway, since I finished this after midnight, I'm counting it as todays project! LOL  The final DT layout I've done for this month's Scrappinista kit from Scrapaganza.

Thanks for looking! Off to spend the day hanging out with my kid!

30 Days of Creativity - Day 4 Mary Mary

Mary Mary Quite Contrary how does your garden grow?
Well here's the scrapbook pages I made yesterdays flowers for. The supplies are from this month's Scrappinista Scrapbook Club (you local gals get a sneak peak!) and the flowers that I used to make my new flower embellishments were from my stash, old prima and Kaiser paper flowers. I have a billion of them but I love this technique and hopefully I can use a bunch of them up this way!

The pictures are from my stepmom's (Mary) garden last november. I had a brand spanking new camera and a burning desire to learn how to take awesome pictures. So I explored her garden, which was surprisingly rich in things to photograph, in November!

You can still join in the 30 days of creativity! Start your day 1 right now! Check out Kendra's or Michelle's blogs for details. See my post below for how I made the flowers on this layout, both the big ones and the little ones were made with the same technique.

30 Days of Creativity - Day 3 flower embies

Well, it takes me FOREVER to scrap a layout sometimes, so I did not finish the project I started today - a two page spread. So, I hope it counts if I just post the little mini flowers I made for the layout! LOL  They have certainly taken me the most time so far!

They are also not my original idea. So credit given where it's due, I got the idea from Nicnac's blog.

Here are these adorable little flowers, made with stash paper flowers. I should have put a coin beside them, they are about the size of a  penny!

30 Days of Creativity - Day 2 Believe card

Well, here I was, home ALL DAY. And did I scrap at all? Not till 9pm, when I realized I needed to make something for the 30 day challenge. My excuse is that I am sick. Came down with a cold this weekend and pretty much spent all day laying about, feeling sorry for myself.  I am glad I got myself up to make even this simple card though. I do wish I'd made it last month as it is from scraps from last month's kit club from my LSS.

Here's hoping tomorrow I'm feeling more like real scrappin.

30 Days of Creativity - Day 1 Our House

Kendra Wiggens and Michelle Van Etten have decided to challenge themselves to be creative 30 days. They've invited everyone to join them, so click on their names to go to their blogs to let them know you want to participate!

Here is my first day project. I know Kendra and Michelle are a little further on but I only saw the challenge this morning and just joined in. So for me, today is day 1!

I used the new Echo Park paper company line called "Life is Good" for this layout. If you are local to the Quad Cities, this line of papers is the Scrappinista Scrapbook Club kit for September at Scrapaganza, so give them a call if you want to join in!

The Story Matters - August kit

Here are a few pages I've done so far with The Story Matters August kit! If you are looking for a monthly kit to work with, I highly recommend The Story Matters! It's so fun!

The Twinkle Toes page above was fun to make. When I was painting my toes, my son wanted his toes painted too. To spare my mother-in-law's sensibilities, I painted his toes in blue glitter. ;) 

Kevin went to a little birthday party for Araceli, and all the kids got these goofy glasses/nose things. I tried to catch pictures of them being goofy with them, as both Kevin and Fred were cuttin' it up. Unfortuneately these were the best I got.

I caught this picture of Daddy being silly and trying to scare Kevin and knew I had to scrap it. After this picture, Kevin gave daddy quite the withering look! LOL  The kit had some felt in it, and I had fun coming up with different ways to  use the felt. It also had the coolest buttons from Charlene's Button Box, which are made exclusively for The Story Matters.  Check out Charlene's stuff though, you can get some of her other buttons at her etsy site, or if you are local, you can get them at Scrapaganza!

I can EASILY make another 3 pages from this kit, I just need to find the time to sit down and do them! LOL
