Summer Scrap book page

I used an older Creative Memories paper kit that I had. The tile came from the Thickers that were in one of the kits from Club Ruby. ( I had no O or i so I modified some other letters) I am surprised at how much use I was able to get from these lettes. I used some spare buttons I had around and some embroidery threads. I cut a slit in the paper and slid the photo in for an interesting modification. To make the paper stretch a little further I used Megan's Gravener'from Above Ruby Studios Technique of cutting and Pasting to get a 12 x 12 size. The paper was double sided so by doing this it gave me plenty of paper to use for matting my photos.

The best weekend

This past weekend was my annual okay semi annual crop retreat. I was hugely productive and could not be happier with what I accomplished. ( I will post Pictures tomorrow after I finish unpacking ) Let me just say that I could not wait to come home so I could order some more Viva Decor Pens in every possible color. This Past weekend was the 1st time I have had a chance to really play /use them.... AWESOME!!!! thanks so much to club ruby for turning me onto those !!!! On the down side, and maybe because I was not real sure what I was doing, I was much less impressed with the pearl powders. I went on line and found the recipe to mix them into a misting spray. Perhaps I did it wrong, however I was not impressed. I would love to know exactly what these are suppose to do / look like... Anyway the other thing I was turned onto this past weekend was the 1.5 inch xyron label maker, no wonder I hated using my circut to cut small shapes, because they were impossible to glue down without making a mess. This little machine is a must have for dealing with those little circut pieces. Still befuddled how this little wonder has escaped my attention all this time. I also think I want a Cricut create as it was a huge PITA ( pain in the ass) and made me nervous to travel with my cricut Expression. Anyway enough about that. I had absolute ball and tons of Laughs.

Wedding Album

Boy Birthday

Birthday card

My niece is accident prone and earned the nick name Crash. Well with the coming of age of her little sister, the older decided that the younger needed to be crash and she wanted to be Princess Dolphin. Thus this Birthday card. She loved it. Still on display in her room.

Vacation Mini Album

I friend of mine was kind enough to plan a vacation for 26 women. This was a small thank you mini album I did for her. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the front cover. I was very pleased with the way it came out. The album was an 8 x 8 that I picked up for a couple of bucks on Clearance at AC Moore. I thought they were a score deal and so bought about 6 of them not really sure what I was going to use them for. ( as is half the stuff in my house) But it sure came in handy when I was suddenly inspired.

A sympathy card for a friend.

Very simple card using creative memories paper flowers and ribbon. The Dove was cut from the Indi Art cart.
