More Kat Scrappiness goodies!

Hey All!

I've got a couple of more Kat Scrappiness projects to share with you today!

supplies: DP: My Mind's Eye; Hot Air Balloon Set (felties by Kat Scrappiness)

I came across this old picture of me and DH and decided to create a layout with it using the Hot Air Balloon set from KS! And when I say old, I really should say "before we had kids." *lol* Before we had kids we could do road trips on my weekends off - like this one to Yosemite! It was a great day trip, but those days are long ago - now we've got our kids and spontaneity is out the DOOR! *lol*

How many of you feel that way too? :)

And for my other project this month, I decided to create a card:

CS: Paper Accents; DP: October Afternoon; Felt Cracked Egg (feltie by Kat Scrappiness); sentiment: Pink by Design; ink: SU!; scallop border punch (SU!)

I decided to create a super simple card in time for Easter, but not necessarily FOR Easter. :) I think these little eggs are cute for any occasion - maybe even baby showers. How cute would it be to stick a little chick peeking out from inside the egg?

Hope you enjoyed my projects today! Have a wonderful weekend!

J Layout: A Kat Scrappiness Project

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!

I'm super excited because I have a layout to share with you today! I don't know what it is about using Kat Scrappiness felties but they really make me want to scrapbook and work on LAYOUTS again!

And since I focused a lot on Princess M, I decided to create a layout about J....

supplies: lots of old stuff in my stash that I used: Bazzill CS, die cut laser paper from KI Memories, journaling block from Making Memories, DP from Chatterbox, transparency from Hambly and the adorable felt sailboat is from Kat Scrappiness!

I left my journaling block blank for a bit... I can't remember when these pictures were taken! I'm thinking around 4 or 5 months, but I could totally be wrong! I really need to look back in my iPhoto library and figure it out! *lol*

But look at J in the pics... I can hardly believe that's the same baby boy who is now 5 years old. And although he's sleeping so peacefully in the pictures, he was never our best sleeper - he still isn't. *lol* Funny how you much your kid's personalities already shine through at such a young age. :)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my layout today! Stay tuned for the next 2 days - I've got more Kat Scrappiness goodies to share with you! :)

Anyway, here's my video for the month showcasing my Kat Scrappiness Projects!

Kat Scrappiness Haul + Projects video!

Hey peeps!

I meant to post this earlier, but time got away from me! Here's my little Kat Scrappiness Haul video + the project I made for the month!

I know some of you are more visual when it comes to looking at stuff so I wanted to share in a different way!

Pardon the babbling! Enjoy!

Have a fabulous day! :)

Kat Scrappiness Project: This Chick

Happy Monday!

Wow, can you believe it?! This is the third layout I've created in the past week! Yay for Kat Scrappiness goodies and felties! I've been so inspired to sit down and create!

supplies: DP: October Afternoon; journaling card (My Mind's Eye); chipboard letters (Amy Tangerine for American Crafts); bluebird felt die cut (Kat Scrappiness)

So this layout is 8x8 and it was really a great size to work with. I usually don't scrapbook pages smaller than 12x12 or 8.5x11 but this was fun to work with. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone!

The idea for the layout was inspired by this felt die cut! I REALLY wanted to use it on a scrapbook page and then I thought of a title and everything sort of just fell into place. It's probably one of my favorite most recent layouts I've created so far. :)

Thanks so much for visiting me today! Hope you have a great week! :)

Kat Scrappiness Project: pink elephants

Happy Saturday, everyone!

I know I usually try and post something non-crafty on Saturdays but I couldn't resist sharing another scrapbook layout with you all that features another set of fabulous felties from Kat Scrappiness.

supplies: CS: white, brown (Bazzill); DP: MAMBI; felt elephant baby die cuts (Kat Scrappiness); scallop border punch, heart punch (SU!)

So M is 5 months in this picture... I can hardly believe it. The gummy smile still makes me laugh - she didn't cut her first tooth until she was 14 months old! *lol*

I got these adorable elephant baby die cuts and decided to create a baby layout. I thought they would be super perfect! I think they would also be perfect for a baby shower card for a friend. Don't you think?

I'll say it again: I'm really loving creating scrapbook pages again! Hope the mojo continues!

Have fabulous weekend, everyone! :)

Kat Scrappiness Project: So Sweet!

Hi all!

I'm back with another Kat Scrappiness project! :)

You know, I've been in a scrapbooking slump for a few months now. I don't know why - I think it's because cards are easy to make. They require very little time create and the gratification from creating a card feels so good: less time + super easy = BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT.

But I've said it before: I really need to buckle down and create more scrapbook layouts. Seriously. I looked at M's album and the last official layout I created for her was when she was 15 months! She'll be 3 years old next month! I need to just create some layouts.

(and Project Life update: I'm 2 weeks behind. :( I've got a little anxiety about it, but I think I'll catch up this week! cross your fingers!)

Anyway, a project I created for Kat Scrappiness used a bit of Kat's felties. :)

supplies: CS: red (Bazzill); CS: Imaginisce; Vanilla Cupcake with Pink Icing felt die cut (Kat Scrappiness); Chipboard letters (American Crafts)

You know what? I had a great time scrapbooking again! I know my layout isn't embellishment intensive or graphically inspired or shabby chic or whatever the trend is now. For once I really didn't get hung up on any of that!

And that makes me happy. :)

I really loved playing with this felt die cut! Even though it's not the ice cream cone M is eating in the picture I still thought it went along with the theme of the layout. Yay!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and visiting my blog! I appreciate the comments - keep 'em coming! :) Have a wonderful day!

Kat Scrappiness Project: Chocolate Bunnies!

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been a while since I've posted a Kat Scrappiness project... For some reason, my January felties got lost in the mail! :( But luckily I've got some February goodies to play with and I'll be showing them off all week! I'm super excited! :)

Here's the first of my projects:

supplies: CS: kraft base (Paper Accents), white (Neenah), yellow (Recollections); DP: October Afternoon; felt chocolate Easter bunny (Kat Scrappiness); sentiment: Pink By Design; ink & ribbon (SU!); oval & petite scalloped oval nestabilities (Spellbinders)

Isn't this bunny super adorable? It makes me want to take a bite out of his ear! *lol* I love how the feltie set comes with other colors - pink & ivory. I think it would be perfect for any card - not just Easter cards... Like with this card - I made it into a love card and not an Easter one. :)

Versatility! I like it!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I wanted to be sure I popped by to wish you a very wonderful and Happy Holiday season! Lots of blessings to be thankful for and lots of joy to celebrate! I hope my little Christmas wish finds you all, my bloggie friends, peace, joy and love.

supplies: CS: red (PaperTrey Ink), white (Bazzill); DP: Basic Grey; stamp: Winter Wishes (K Andrew Designs); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Black Soot (Ranger Distress Ink); ornament felties (Kat Scrappiness); twine: Whisker Graphics

So, I'm thinking this may be my last Christmas card of 2011. I've been having such a great time creating them, that I think I'll miss them! But I couldn't resist eeking out just one more card using Kat's fabulous felties! These ornaments are my favorite! I also had to use my favorite Christmas sentiment stamp set - gonna miss playing with it for a while! :)

Anyway, I made a quick little video the other day to announce my Kat Scrappiness DT adventure and to show off the last 3 cards I've posted these past few days! Enjoy!

 

Again, thank you all for visiting me! Hope you all have a wonderfully, fabulous Christmas Day!

Happy Birthday, Jesus! :)

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey y'all!

I think I'm pretty much in disbelief that Christmas is arleady TOMORROW. I've been done with Christmas shopping for a while now and all I have to do is wait for the kiddos to unwrap and enjoy everything.

Since the hubs is working tonight, though, we're going to pretend that Christmas Day is Monday. Thankfully my kids can't read the calendar yet so they won't know. But I figure that with my husband working tonight, he'll be missing church in the AM, we have plans for lunch at his sister's house and then dinner at our house. The kids won't have time for the Christmas morning joy in the morning and I don't want my husband to miss out on it since they'll be sleeping after his shift is over.

Anyway, I'm babbling. :)

So I've got another card to share with you today!

supplies: CS: red (PaperTrey Ink), white (Bazzill); DP: Basic Grey; Gingerbread Man feltie (Kat Scrappiness); sentiment stamp: Winter Wishes (K Andrew Designs); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); Nestabilities (Spellbinders); corner rounder (We R Memory Keepers); twine (Ribbon Carousel)

Had a great time playing with this adorable Gingerbread Man! He doesn't have the googly eyes like the one in Kat's Shop (but I'm sure if you want them with or without the eyes, you can convo her for special requests! :)

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve! And I hope Santa is good to all of you tonight! :)

Merry Christmas!
