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!!

Ready for some Football!!!

So I've been home with the flu for the past week.  Thankfully I can work from home at my full time job so I've been able to work get paid and rest.  I'm thankful for that.  In the mean time I came up with this great idea for a Super Bowl party page.  I'm rooting for the 49ers this year since that was my Dad's team, but I'm a Skins fan all the way! 

For the party invitation I used The Greeting Farm Sitting Casual Stamp set and the Authentique 6x6 Paper Pad Free Bird Poised and Warmth.  I colored Ian with copics.  His clothes and the sofa are paper peiced using the Echo Park A Boy's Life paper pack.  The Sentiment is stamped on the Stampin Up key tag punch which has been discontinued.

I also made little flags for cupcakes using a stamp from The Greeting Farm Sitting Casual Stamp set.

Finally I created a scrapbook page because of course as a scrapbooker you take pictures of Everything!!!  All of the stamps are from The Greeting Farm Sitting Casual Stamp Set.  I used the Teddy Bears On Parade Cricut cartridge for the Teddy Bears. I cut everything else with the Silhouette.  The footballs, grass, and goal post are from Miss Kates Cuttables Football MVP.  Miss Kate has the best SVG files and great prices!!  I'm in love with her website.  For the title I used the Porky's Font from Fontspace. For the banner I learned a great trick over the weekend.  I used a paper plate and wax paper.  I poured Modge Podge on the wax paper and dipped twine it it.  I let the twine dry to it would start to harden.  Before it was completely dry I stuck it to the scrapbook page so it looked like the string holding up the banner.  It was so easy and turned out so cute!!! I'm super thankful for that great tip from Michelle and Scrapdoodles in Fredericksburg.
