Feb Scrappinista #4 - Love

Not a whiff of pink anywhere! :)
This is still the same Scrappinista Scrapbook Club kit from Scrapaganza we got in February. I just didn't use any of the pink stuff. The white paper is actually a chunk that I cut out of the pink frame I used in my 1 year layout. I used my new Bubbles punch-around-the-page punch on it, then wove some black organza ribbon through the holes. Scraps left from the other pages were layered and then I added some stuff from my stash. There are 4 stickers from the kit that I covered with Glossy Accents and allowed to dry, which gives the stickers a whole new look. I really liked this page!

Thanks for stopping by!

Feb Scrappinista #3 - Kevin

Yep, nothing wrong with pink in a boy layout!
More scrappy goodness from Scrapaganza's Scrappinista Scrapbook Club kit from February. I used the paper in the Echo Park Be Mine line that says "so in love with you" in the corner. Instant title! Some simple paper layering, a little bit of rub-ons under some Tim Holtz fragments, a few stickers and I'm done. ;)

Feb Scrappinista #2 - 1 Year

That's me, at 1 year old! LOL... This is the second layout I created with the Scrapaganza Scrappinista Scrapbook Club kit, Echo Park's Be Mine line. In addition to the papers, I also used rub-ons from Kaiser and one of Charlene's Button Box buttons.  It's a simple layout but I love what the rub-ons do for it.

Catching up! (Feb Scrappinista #1)

Wow friends! I just realized how long I've gone without posting. All I can say is that I had a lot of personal stuff going on in February and just did not feel like posting on my blog. But I want to make it up to you!


Here is the first layout I created for the February Scrapaganza's Scrappinista Scrapbook Club. Our SSC kit last month was Echo Park's Be Mine line. LOVED it! I'm not really a pink girl but the line of papers was sooo versatile, even though pink seemed a predominant color, it really didn't have to be, if you didn't want it to be.


So for my first layout I used primarily black, white and grey so that the pink was just an accent color. Included in the kit was a yard of wide pink ribbon and some Kaiser rub-ons. I used a strip punch from Martha Stewart and punched a paper "ribbon" and threaded the pink ribbon through that. embellishment stickers and a rub-on border complete the layout!

Some new gypsy files

Some of my online friends have asked me to share some gypsy cut files they were particularly looking for, so here's my first batch of files for them and anyone else that might find these useful. :)

goddess figurines:  You will need the cartridges George and Gypsy Wanderings to cut these.

Download the .gypsy cut file here

goddess border: Same as above, you need George and Gypsy Wanderings to cut.

pentacles in different sizes: You need George and Indie Art to cut these. Everyone who registered their gypsy prior to Feb 28, 2011 should have Indie Art (for free) on their Gypsy!

Tumble Dork - layout

Here is the last page for my Scrappinista kit for Scrapaganza. Never mind that missing photo... my printer wasn't printing right, and so I sent the photo to be printed locally only to find out their printer was on the fritz. I have the photo now but this picture was already taken by then. lol!

Anyway, on this one I used the maroon printed side of one of the kit papers. I really wanted to pull some of the blue color from the snow in the photos up into the red, so I used my stamp set and some Zing embossing powder in the color "Water" and embossed a few snowflakes. I like the striking effect. I also used some Imaginisce plastic snowflakes as well, which I really love.

If you are wondering what my son is doing, well he discovered by accident (at first) that if you put a chair on a hill facing uphill and try to sit in it, you will fall backwards. The first time surprised him. After that it became the coolest game around! So he did it over and over and of course mama-razzi had to take pictures of it. :)

Play - layout

Here's the 2nd spread I created for the Scrappinista Scrapbook kit club at Scrapaganza.

I did pull and extra piece of printed paper that wasn't in the kit for this page. The polka dotted background. After laying it and the photos down, I got the idea to use the circle theme and continue that theme into the embellishments.

The background is stamped with Versamark Dazzle and the writing stamp that came with the stamp set. I also stamped a couple snowflakes and embossed with white embossing powder... one to fill one of the circle embellishments and one on the title circle.

The title is a Heidi Swap word that I had in my stash. The white pleated border is actually crepe paper from Dollar Tree. :)
