Christmas Album Complete - May 24, 2011

My Christmas Album for 2009 is now complete.  I am sharing my last layout from the book which I think is simply adorable.  I used our pictures as gift boxes in the sleigh.  I used my Cricuit Christmas Cheer cartridge to cut the sleigh using Fit to Page.  I then cut the overlay of red for the sleigh at 5 3/4 and each reindeer is 5 3/4 in size. I am so happy that this project is done!  I can check one goal for the year off my list!

Scrapbooking - The Christmas Tree - May 23, 2011

Scrapbooks etc, has a section on making scrapbook pages from a shape.  It inspired me on my 2009 Christmas album.  I decided to cut a Christmas Tree along with the gift boxes using my Cricuit .  I then cut the pictures to fit in the tree and the boxes to make this layout.  I wanted a cute way to show off Bonnie and Clyde enjoying Christmas!

Get Well Soon Aunt Nancy - May 22, 2011

We have had quite a bit of rain this spring!   The rain inspired this "Get Well Soon" card for Bryan's aunt, Nancy.  Nancy is battling a brain tumor, and we are praying for her everyday.  We ask that you pray for her.  I know in my heart that God answers prayers.  I know he healed one of my friend's mothers when I was in 5th grade.  I wrote this verse to her and have always remember it: "I love the Lord because he hath heard my voice and my supplications" Psalm 116:1.  I plan on writing this verse in Nancy's card so she will remember that God is listening to all of us.
   We have decided to send her a bit of chocolate to cheer her up!  I used the Side Card Step tutorial to make this card.  It is so easy and fun to decorate that I plan on making another one, so be watching for it.  The images are from  Close to My Heart D1415.  I used Stampin Up Real Read paper and PaperTray Ink White Paper.  The decorate paper with umbrellas came from 2008 me and my BIG ideas.  Plus a little Stickles to add a bit of glitz!

SC333 Challenge - May 21, 2011

Today, I am missing out on my scrapbook club because I am under the weather.  However, I just had to take some time to work on this week's challenge at Splitcoaststampers.   It seems that everyone is popping up pregnant or getting ready to have a little one.  In preparation for these events, the challenge came in perfectly handy to make a baby card.  My card is 5.25 x 5.25, a perfect size to fit in my 5.5 x 5.5 envelopes.  I used DCWV Nana's Nursery Premium Stack for my designer papers, and Papertray Ink White paper.  The image is stamped in black Memento Ink and colored with Copic and Stampin Up Markers. The dressed is paper pierced using one of the background papers.  Every girl must wear diamonds, so her earrings are Diamond Stickles.  The fancy matting was created by using a FISKAR punch.  The image is CTMH Ms. con the Go C1347, an adorable versatile stamp set.
