Good Morning my Scrappy Friends!

I am entering a couple of layouts in a giveaway hosted by Tonya - Psychomom, who has reached 2000 subbies on her YT Channel!  Congrats to Tonya and you all should head over to her YT channel and give her videos a look over, you will not be disappointed! Here is the first submission:

The layout is titled "Hello Daddy"  Yes my scrappy friends, I am and will always be a daddy's girl!  This is a photo of me at the age of 5.  I saw the toy phone and told the photographer that I wanted to call my daddy, so my daddy stood behind the photographer with the same phone and I called daddy. 



I had a great time making this layout, as it brought back a wonderful memory for this "Daddy's Girl" 

The next submission that I made was another layout:

This layout is titled "First Christmas" The picture that you see, my scrappy friends, is my older brother's first Christmas and this was the Christmas card my parents sent out that year.  I used not only the pic, but I left the card intact, so that it could be used as a journal tag as well. 



I hope you all enjoy these layouts that I have created and I hope I have given you just a little inspiration!
Have a scrapdacular day!

Welcome to my Scrappin' Place!  I have not done many challenges, but when I saw that one of my fav paper lines, Bo Bunny was having a challenge, I had to do it!  For this challenge, I used Bo Bunny's Gabrielle paper, Tattered Angels in Coral Reef and Pearl. I am Roses flowers, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain & Muse Token.  I call this layout Moments:

Yes, that is I, in my younger days.  Hope that you all like this layout, it was a lot of fun to do.  This layout represents the "Moments" that I had that year in my life.

Good Afternoon my scrappy friends!  As you all are aware, I am a member of the Little Scrap of Heaven website, which I must say if you are not a member, you need to be!  It is a wonderful site!  Cindylouwho, Laura, Becca and Misty run a great site!!!  Trust me, you will not be disappointed!  Cindy is hosting a challenge over at LSH for a summer shadow box. Here is my sad attempt at this challenge, as I am terrible at measurements, so I took a cigar box, which the lid fell off and used that:





I painted the box with blue paint, with a pearlizing additive, then crackle painted it.  Using yellow paper to cover the lid, I cut the saying out on my Cricut, using the Mickey & Friends Font cart, using the end cap key.  For the sun I used my Winnie the Pooh and Friends cart.  The picture is of my youngest son, Robby showing off his "big muscles" for Pluto! 

Hope you all like this and come on over LSH!

Good Morning my scrappy friends!




Hope you all had a great weekend and were able to do some scrappy projects! : )  Here is a project that I made this weekend for a friend of mine.  I used the Proper Gentlemen collection from Graphic 45, Walnut Stain Distress Ink and Modge Podge to alter this cigar box.  This was a fun project and I am very lucky that I have another friend who also likes cigars and gives me his boxes.  I will be back a little later with another project from the scrappin' place.

Hello my scrappy friends!  It has been too long!  I finally found my mojo and the top of my scrappin desk! LOL!  I have a few projects to share with all of you:
This first project was my own personal sign for my scrappin' place.  I purchased the wood plaque from Michael's for $1, painted it, used my french scrip stamp with gold ink, sprayed it with LSG Gold Doubloon, prima pearls, I am roses flowers and skeleton leafs, prima e line flowers, which were all misted with LSG and  Tattered Angels with a Tim Holtz Adage ticket.  I cut the letters with my Cricut, using the Storybook cartridges.  The paper I used was from Websters Pages, which I painted over with glitter paint. 

The next project is an old silver frame:
I first painted it with gesso, then used umber brown, crackle medium and cream paint.  I then used Tim Holtz old paper distress ink, tattered angels gold and walnut gold.  I am Roses curly roses misted with LSG and Tattered Angels.

I will be posting the video on these projects on my YouTube today.  Glad that I finally found my mojo! 
Scrappy Hugs,
