Polk-A-Dot Scrapper

The Story of Us

At the last Scrapdoodles retreat sometime last year. Teresa Collins taught a class called Us "Love is a good thing."  As usual I really didn't feel like sitting through a class so I bought the kit.  It has sat on the shelf since then collecting dust but after cleaning my room I had to do something so I went with this! OMG am I glad I did.  It'll take me forever to pick through 15  years of pictures, but I'm going to go through a bunch and see what I can find so I can fill it with pictures.  Anyway, so yeah, it was super easy to put together.  I changed 1 page and I did the cover completely different because I didn't feel like stenciling last night.  I didn't want to create that much mess in my nice clean room.  So I've posted pictures below! Enjoy :-)

Back to School

It's that time of year when all the kiddos are getting new gear to take them back to school.  I usually send my Godson off with something for the new year, this year, it's a lunch box, and as usual some school uniforms.  I won't have time to get to him to buy them so I'm sending a card his way and he can shop for himself, you know kids love that!  So I fell in love with this card that Amy R of Prairie Paper & Ink created a little over a week ago and had to do it myself! Check out her card here.  I'm not a huge card maker, I'm all about scrapbook pages and lately organization.  So It took me a while, to get it all together. 

So talk about complete devistation!!! I had just finished the hair and skin and wasn't about to do that over when my grass green copic marker leakes all over the apple.  There was no fixing that so onto finding a way to hide it!

Weekend in the woods

I'm back!!!! I've been back for a week.  I spent last weekend in the woods with a great group of ladies geting a lot of page done!!!  I actually page planned for this trip and managed to get 36 pages that I had planned completed and a couple of extras!  It was a great time!!! 

I jazzed up a little pinterest inspiration for this one.  So super easy!!  A couple strips of paper and a mickey punch and that was about it.  I cut the hands and the Disney logo with my cricut, I punched out all the Mickey heads with my punch, but the cricut does make those as well.  Martha Stewart Christmas Twine for the balloons and banner bows.  The embossing paste that I mentioned in my haul video was used on the banners with the designs.  I had to try it before I could make a video and talk about super easy!  I used a DCWV Stencil that I picked up at JoAnns, i used the white embossing paste let it dry and then colored it with a Fiber-Castele Gelato in yellow. 

My Godson is playing Basketball now!  So we're not sure he's doing football again, but at the moment he has decided basketball is his entire life.  Oh to only be 7 again!! Love it!!!  So this was quick.  The letters were cut on the Silhouette and the basketball hoops on the cricut.  The other embellishments came in a pack of stickers I just popped a few up and grouped them together, nothing too fancy, but it was probably one of my favorite pages of the weekend.

This is one of my God Daughter's pictures from her 1 year old birthday photo shoot last year.  She'll be 2 this year.  OMG they grow up entirely too fast!!!  I always blur her out and especially this one because she's in swimwear and you just have to be so careful now.  For this page I wanted to create a little texture so I used the DCWV cork 6x6.  The ruler came from a pack of paper I had in my stash I honestly don't remember.  I'm sure it was in a DCWV paper pad though.  Nothing fancy just a few layers and great textures.  That's always fun on any page!! 

I have quite a few more pages, that I'll be posting as I unpack.  I'm a little slow this time because I have a day crop coming up too so I won't be unpacking completely. 

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!! I'll be spending it with my God Daughter!! I can't wait!!

L-O-V-E Recipe challenge

Another challenge is complete!! I finished it last night, but was too tired to get the post up.  This is for Our Daily Bread. I don't own any of their stamps yet, but I really need to get some.  Their verses would be great on project life cards or any scrapbook page.  So in this challege I had to use the letters in the word LOVE to create my project.  In the words of one of my favorite little boys HERE GOES NOTHIN'!!

Overlay was from my stash.  I have no clue where I got it.  I think it was free at a crop or something from years ago.  Glad I finally found a use for it.
