CPS 160 & Scrap Happy

The weather has been GORGEOUS
for our Spring Break.
I've been enjoying scrap time, suntime,
family time, shopping & friends!!
Here's another card I
made using the CPS 160 sketch.

Supplies:
My Minds Eye "Little Boy Blue" paper
Cosmo Cricket "Earth Love" chipboard pieces
Fiskar border punch
Twine & DMC floss

I still have quite a bit of paper & embellies
left from the Mary Mary & Little Boy Blue,
so I'm hoping to get more done this week!!
We've decided to have an untraditional
Easter celebration this year.
We're going to do a fish fry & include
all other forms of seafood fried, grilled & eaten!!
I hope your Easter is blessed!!
Praise God that Jesus has risen!!
Thanks for stopping by &
I hope the weather is good in your neck of the woods!!

2S4U - Kazan #49

Happy Monday to you!!
It's been a beautifully blessed day for me.
I've been scrapping, enjoying the
gorgeous weather & Spring Break.
I'm still working on projects for Scrap Happy
using My Minds Eye Lush, Little Boy Blue
& the Mary Mary lines.
I'm also mixing Cosmo Cricket Earth Love
with the Little Boy Blue.....
they go really well together.
For this card, I used the current 2S4U - Kazan 49 sketch.
I used My Minds Eye Lush Brown for the background;
My Minds Eye Little Boy Blue cardstock journaling sticker
& Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper (orange)
& chipboard pieces.

I do have more projects,
but will probably upload them tomorrow.
Off to get my work-out done,
it's beach weather around here!!

Card Patterns #57 & Scrap Happy projects

Happy weekend everyone!!
Been working on more
projects for Scrap Happy.
Here are a few more using
My Minds Eye "Mary Mary" papers
mixed with Making Memories Lush.
For the card, I used
the current Card Patterns #57 sketch.
This is a quick altered acrylic frame.
I love these pics of the girls
& wanted a little something
to display them in for the house.
I showed a side profile,
in case you're wondering
what type of frame it is.

I've also been working with
the My Minds Eye "Little Boy Blue" papers.
I'll show those projects Sunday or Monday?
Have a blessed Sunday!!

2 Sketches 4 U & ScrapHappy

Did I say my hiatus was over?
*oops*
I did get busy yesterday
& this morning,
using new My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary
& Making Memories Lush from Scrap Happy.
To kick things off,
I started with the current sketch
over at 2 Sketches 4 U.

The rest are self-explanatory.
I did use Tattered Angels mist on these eggs.
Aren't they cute?
Embellished the top of the flower
with some felt, pearl rhinestones & a brad.

This was made using a french fry container.
I also made the little felt flower.
I find the felt so much easier to use than ribbon.
I'll definitely be making more.

One more card using
another flower I made using fabric & tulle.
I will definitely be making more of these too.


Welp, off to scrap more.
I've got some of the My Minds Eye,
Little Boy Blue collection to work with!!

hiatus over

I know I've been absent
but the ole' bloggy's
been on my mind.
So much going on at the homefront,
but hoping things will settle down
in the next few weeks.
At least FCAT is over
& I'm looking forward
to the end of the school year!!!
In the meantime,
I've done a few layouts here & there
& am showing 2 of them below.
Nothing special about them,
in fact,
fairly simplistic,
but I'm happy with them.
On the first,
I can't help thinking
I need to add something else.
I'm thinking circles &
might add them above the scalloped brown?


I am making some handmade flowers.
Seems everyone is making them
& putting tutorials up all over the web.
Tried my hand w/a few using fabric & felt
& LOVE the results.
I'm hoping to make a few tonight
& might get them posted by tomorrow?
Otherwise, this weekend I'm headed
to Birmingham for a Bible Study Fellowship retreat.
Looking forward to this time w/some special ladies.
Thanks for stopping by
& enjoy the rest of your day!!

Thanks for visiting!!
