I am BACK!

Phew, it has been awhile since I posted on my blog. I have had so many computer issues that we finally had no choice but to purchase a new one. I wanted to post what I made for the shoebox swap that Kelli hosted. We had a great time and I loved all the cards and projects that we created that day. I wanted to use the hugs and kisses love notes and the bird punch. The idea was from the occassions mini catalog. Love the bird punch.

brag book

I am making these little Christmas brag books for gifts this year. They are so so easy to put together. The inside pages to hold your photos are made using StampinUp's clear envelopes. All materials used were SU.

Shoebox Swap

I designed this card for a shoebox swap this weekend. I used all SU products. I used the swirl from Baroque Motifs and embossed with versamark and silver powder. The ornaments are from Delightful Decorations. Used night of navy ink. Add a little rhinestone in one ornament and the new shimmer paint for the sentiment. Love it!!

Pumpkin Treats

I made this cute little pumpkin treat holder this weekend. It is made with the SU large oval punch. I found the directions on a blog. (sorry, I forgot which one).

MOJO is back!

I am finally posting, it has been a crazy month for me. These 2 layouts are 6x6 for a swap that teach0123 is hosting. When swapped we will have the 2 page layouts for the entire year. I signed up for a bunch of spots because I plan to give these to all my scrapbooking buddies for Christmas this year. For June I used on of my SU kits that was retired. For January I used the Cold and Cuddly set.

U2

Not much crafting done today. Getting ready to see my favorite band.... U2. I got the tickets for my husband and I for our 20 th wedding anniversary. Whooo!

Life's a beach

My layout for the Cricut swap the Melanie is hosting. This layout is perfect for photos from a day at the beach. I used my SU shell wheel for the sand and cut the various shapes from the Life's a beach cartridge.
