Happy Leap Day!!

Happy Leap Day!

Looks like I have found a routine that works and I seem to be getting a little more scrappy time in these days. Since I haven't scrapped much in the last year I have a ton of pictures of Braelyn to catch up on.

Here is a page I got done this weekend of Braelyn. I used a sketch challenge from Tally Scrapper and the current chipboard challenge at Citrus Tree Studio. I glittered up an old chip chatter alphabet piece. I haven't really bought any new supplies since I haven't been scrapping. So my goal right now is to use up what I have so I can justify buying some new stuff to play with! Although the crown is new, I was in the dollar store the other day and they had some wooden embellishments so I figured I would pick them up. I inked the top part and then used stickles to create 'gems' to dress it up a bit. The paper a piece of Cherry Arte from my stash and bazzill cardstock scraps from my scrap box.


Hope you enjoy your leap day! And just a reminder that today is the last day to take advantage of the sale at Citrus Tree Studio, so go get your orders in. :)

Tuesday Layouts

This morning I seem to have an excessive amount of energy. I hope that means I will get lots of things accomplished today, but it is more likely that I'll be crashed by 10am. However, I do have two layouts to share. I actually managed to finish a paper layout yesterday, and (even better) I really like how it turned out!

This was Braelyn's first time on the swings at the park last summer. I kept trying to get her to smile so I could catch her teeth in the picture, but of course it was a no go. For this one I used an art inspiration challenge at Citrus Tree Studio and the 2/4 sketch from My Sketch World. I even used all scraps on this page too, except for the background.


Here is a digital page of poor Braelyn while she was sick last summer. She looks so pitiful, I couldn't help but snap a picture of her. This one uses the 2/15 sketch from My Sketch World.


In case you didn't know, Citrus Tree Studio is running a sale on kits right now. Some great kits are available at great prices! You should definitely check it out. :)

Scrap Box Cards

When I do get a chance to scrap, I've been focusing on trying to widdle down my scrap paper. Since cards are great for that, I wind up making a lot of them (plus they are quick projects which is an added bonus). Here are a few cards I've done in the past couple weeks, all with supplies from my scraps box.

For this one, I used the 2/12 Card Sketch from My Sketch World, which I flipped.


A Valentine's card using scraps...


This one is using the 2/7 Card sketch from My Sketch World. Another thank you card made from scraps.


My apologies for the bad quality of the pictures. I didn't look at them prior to actually mailing out the cards, so I can't retake them. :( I really should keep that in mind for the future!

On another note, we got a dusting of snow yesterday. So I took the kids out first thing this morning to play, of course with a camera! I'm hoping that means they will be tired this afternoon and maybe I'll get a chance to scrap!

some digitals

While most in the house are sick, I haven't really been able to play with paper much. I have managed to put together a few digital layouts. That is better than nothing, right?!

This weekend I decided to work with the sketches at My Sketch World for their 6th birthday celebration. So here are a few digitals I did this weekend.

Trick or Treating - My Sketch World (2/10)


Braelyn @ 6 Months - My Sketch World (2/11)


Braelyn in her Christmas Dress - My Sketch World (2/3)


The Girls - My Sketch World (2/13)


Tomorrow I think I'll have some cards to share. :) I'm so excited to be scrapping again!

Happy Friday!

I'm really trying to get back into scrapping and crafting. Life just keeps getting in the way! Did you know, if you don't scrap for awhile your inks are likely to dry up? As well as your paints, mists and lots of other supplies? I'm figuring that out now.

I did take time last night to make a couple projects, so here is a little share. :)
I used the most current layout & card sketch from twisted sketches. My projects don't really fit the 'theme', but I'm happy that I got to create something.



I can't believe that she is this big, and I don't know where the past year went. I love seeing her grow and learn though, and yes I know one day I will miss this age! I used some goods from my stash and a piece of the Prima ledger paper I won at the CTS online crop in January.


I used a Momenta card box kit to create the above card. Made everything super easy to already have coordinated goods! I do love those kits. :)
