Simply Scrappin

This is another layout from the online class I am taking. I love the Stampin Up Simply Scrappin Kits SOOO much! I am getting alot of scrappin done and I love it! I have really enjoyed getting caught up!! I am thinking about having a day where anyone can come over and to my craft space and hang out and scrap. Maybe for the new Escape promotion from stampin up! Which is basically getting back in touch with creating! NO more email no more digi scrapbooking, Just sitting down enjoying friends, talking and creating! There would just be a small fee for use of stamps and other supplies! If this would interest you please email me or comment!

Got Sketch 101 Challenge #3

This is another one of my finished projects from the latest awesome sketch 101 challenge. This was a make and take designed by the one and only...our one and only..... Heather Summers! I am having alot of fun with this class and getting alot of scrapbooking done! Its great! Classes officially start on June 10th! All these other projects are just extra for fun!

This is a home decor project that can be hung on the wall or set up in a plate stand. Or it can be mounted to a 12x12 sheet of scrapbooking paper and used as a layout!

I hope you are enjoying this sweltering weekend! Just the beginning to the worst part of summer! Heat!... even worse in Ontario it is always hot and humid! Well at least it gives me a reason to head to the beach!

THank-You Card

This is the card I made to Thank John Lyons for letting me be his shadow on Saturday! It was hard. I hate making cards for men! We really need to write SU and tell them that we need more manly stamps like geometric shapes and cool designs not just fish and trees. Anyways that's just my two cents. What do you think is it masculine enough?

Recipe: Fall Flowers DSP, River Rock Long Note, Vintage Brads, Old Olive 5/8' Grosgrain, Hostess set with scallop frame (this catty) SAB set

This is the first time that I am posting one of Beate's weekend Sketches. She is awesomely creative and has a great blog. You can see this weekends sketch HERE. Sketches are a great way to get creative when your in a rut. I want to make it a point to try a sketch every week to try out new layouts and colour combos that I normally wouldn't try. They are also a great way to find new layouts if you get stuck.

So this is what I can up with.! What do ya think? I love this colour combo i have been wanting to buy the crew kids girl Simply Scrappin kit and I have been using similar colour combos for a while. I think i just may need to treat myself!

Enjoy the weather this weekend its suppose to be beautiful! I spent all evening in my gardens and they are starting to look great!

Thanks ladies and I can't wait til next month!

What do you want to see in a Future Stampin Up Catty?

I love the Pretties Kit! But I find alot of my customers steer clear of it! I am not sure why maybe because you are unsure of whats included or how you can use it! This is one of the flowers included in the kit. Yes all the flower are white in the kit which I have heard alot of you comment on. Bla White! But you can dye them any colour with our re-inkers or you can stamp right on the flower! How FAB! I stamped on this flower with bitty backgrounds. Cute Eh! I personally would like to see these flowers in small kits in a future catalogue. Maybe even little packages of just flowers. What is on you I wish they had list? Leave a comment and I will email all you thoughts to Stampin Up. My friend Alesha gave me this idea. How can Stampin Up know what we want if we don't tell them. SO give me your feedback.

Recipe : Gable Green and Regal Rose CS (LOVE this colour Combo!) Flowers for you DSP, Lovely Labels , Bitty Backgrounds Stamp sets, Scallop Circle, corner rounder and 1 3/8' circle punches, white grosgrain ribbon.

Rocket Shaker! Stopping to smell the roses ... I mean tulips.

Everything is blooming and so much nicer to look at then the blah at the beginning of spring. We go walking almost every night with the kids. On the weekend Abby wanted to stay in an watch the Cat in the Hat with her Dad so Jackson and I toddled around the block. He insisted on walking and not riding in the buggy and he stopped to smell almost all the flowers! Such a cutie. We even found a birds nest. Without eggs Bummer! ( wouldn't it have been an awesome picture with robins eggs in it!) Here's a few pictures from our walk!



On to the card......
