"My Core'dinations Creative Frenzy"

Core'dinations cardstock + sanding = Fun!! I have been busy embossing and sanding Core'dinations cardstock all week.
My first layout has an embossed banner and leaves. I just love this photo of my great-nephew Milo. The colors of the cardstock match wonderfully with his gnome outfit!!
I really like the effect I got with the red flower on the card I made. No embossing on this one. I just sanded the edges and I love the worn, soft look it got. It looks like red velvet to me.
My last layout has a sanded background with embossed squares that the photo is mounted on. This layout features one of my favorite pictures of my daughter at the zoo.
I love using Core'dinations cardstock!!!

Scrap Our Stash

The challenge for April is to do a layout with a sunny theme. Here is the layout I did.... check out what the rest of the DT did at http://www.scrapourstash.blogspot.com

Basic Grey Challenge

Found a new blog - you use Basic Grey in a project or a sketch, two times a month. I have soooo much BG that I decided maybe this would be a good place for me to play along. This time, something recycled had to be included in the project/layout. So I used a piece of cardboard, painted it, stamped on it, added BG scraps from Ambrosia, Boxer and Marrakech. Plus some blue tape and the large sticker letters from Marrakech. It was a fun project!!

Some spring tags

Used some of my stash of office supply tags colored with Easter egg dye. Thanks to Michelle Ward for this fab idea!!
I stamped on each tag and am going to tie them all up in a bundle with the large tag.

Discovered!!

I found these pages while cleaning up a bit in my craft room. I made them in a class several years ago. I want to get back to doing more of this type of art: using paint and stamps. I love scrapbooking, but also like this mixed media type of art.

Scrap Our Stash

Up on the Scrap our Stash blog - my design team project for February. I used a 7 Gypsies tray, Tim Holtz metal number, Thickers and papers by Best Creation.

Sketches in Thyme

I made this layout from a sketch posted at Sketches in Thyme. What a great sketch blog!! I used some of my stash for this layout:
Tim Holtz tickets, Thickers, lace, BG paper, American Crafts hot air balloon.
These flowers remind me that summer does exist and will be here someday!!
