idea for kids

This was a really cute idea my sister found in a magazine. I think they are adorable. My niece was able to help assemble and then she brought them to school as a treat.

My Easter Card

here I have created an Easter card for this year. I wanted to use chalk to put some colour on the flowers as I haven't used my chalk in SOOOO long. All products used here are current Stampin UP. Thanks for stopping by.

My First ATC

This is my first ever Artist Trading Card. I was in a swap over at Soul Scrappers and this was my entry. The theme was "love". At first I didn't really know what to do with the card as they are about the size of a baseball card. It was suggested to me to use them as embellishments for a full size card or for a scrapbook page so I thought perfect. I'll give it a try. The card you create is suppose to be a small piece of art that you created using whatever. It was fun to give this a go and now I am entering another swap for May. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other swapping ladies have created.

Place in the Sun pg 2

Here is my second page for "my place in the sun " online free classes. This page was to take photos of what I see out my backdoor. Well it was snowing so I thought some of the snow covers summer items looked nice with the snow. They are my chairs & flower pot. The third photo is of my dog Lulu. I often see her staring in the house when I put her out back for some fresh air.

My Place in the Sun

This is a page I have finally completed for "Place in the Sun" . It's a free year long scrapbooking course being offered by Jane Howden . This course is offered to anyone and is about scrapbooking your home. It thought I would give it a try. I have added a link to Jane's blog . It's under the heading "my blogging friend" and is called Scrap Beginnings. So check it out.

Swap card # 2

This was another great swap card I received. The flower is made with the thin sheets of wood that SU sells.

Swap card # 1

I was in a card swap recently and this was one of the cards I received. This card was made by Kathy House. I really like the idea she had of using the embossing folder to make a design on part of the front and back. It really gives a beautiful effect.

Colours used here are so saffron, real red, marina mist & vanilla. Of course everything is from my favorite company, Stampin Up!!

Funny picture

I was outside taking some photos of my scrapbooking pages when I decided to take a photo of Lulu bathing herself in the sun. It wasn't until later that I noticed my cat peering through the door spying on us. I just thought it looked funny. Thanks for stopping by.

My Crafty Sister

This is my sister Amy. Her son Taren's binder for school fell apart and instead of buying him a new one, she decided to create a fun binder that he would love. I think it turned out very cool.

So what Amy did here was take the binder apart. She took off the front and back & kept the middle part with the metal rings and also the cardboard front and back . With the cardboard she cut out different skateboarding words & images and modgepodged them to the cardboard. One picture here shows some photos I took of Taren. My Olympus camera has a feature called drawing. It's where you take a picture of someone and it creates a drawing of them. That is what Amy used to put on the front of the binder.

After modgepodging everything, Amy used duct tape to assemble everything back together. Lucky Uncle Richard had some red duct tape which went so well with all the images.

I think this was a fun clever project Amy created and Taren loved it.

Sweet treat cup valentine
