Another Project for Pages From the Heart

This is the layout that I made this month for Pages from the Heart using the American Craft Confetti line, Creative Memories CS, EK Success Border Punch, EK Success Punch, Fiskars Border Punch, Spellbinders Die Lacey Circles, Colorbox Chestnut Roan ink, Best Creations 3D foam tape and ribbon from my stash.




I made the fun orange flower with my ribbon and love the way that the border punch turned out at the bottom with the ribbon threaded through it. I also used some of the punches that came out of the border as dots along the top outside edge.

Thanks for looking and if you are interested in learning how I made the flower, you can check out the tutorial on the Pages blog.

Pages from the Heart Reveal Time

Here is a card that I made with my kit from Pages from the Heart this month. My kit was the American Crafts Birthday line. We were asked to do a homemade embellishment. For this card I chose to make the ruffle at the bottom of the card. I really love this paper with all the bright colors and the fun baloons. If you are in the area be sure to stop by Pages and pick some up.

Sassy Lil' Card Sketches July 14 Sketch

I got a few things made this weekend, but some of them are DT projects, so I can't share just yet. Here is one of the cards that I did get done using the sketch from Sassy Lil' Card Sketches. I loved this sketch and love how this card turned out. I used some scraps from a kit that I had with one of the older BoBunny lines.

I'm Back...

I don't know where the past 3 months have gone... I was at the Sisterhood of Scrapping Retreat back in April and had a great weekend. When I got home that evening we got a call from my father-in-law that he was in the hospital and had been diagnosed with cancer. We headed up north by the end of that week to see how he was doing and what we could do to help him. He had to go through two weeks of radiation so we decided to stay up with him during that time. Well, my time got cut short there at the beginning of the second week as my mom fell at home at broke her hip. I got on an airplane and came home to be here for her surgery. She spent a week in the hospital and two weeks at rehab, but is back home now with some help but doing great, especially since she is almost 90. On the 3rd of June we headed back up to Redding to go relieve Barry's brother and help take care of his dad. He started getting worse the second day that we were there and he passed away while we were there holding his hands on the 21st of June. We were able to come home on the 25th, but it has been non-stop trying to take care of business ever since.

Needless to say I really haven't done much scrapping for these past 3 months except a few of my DT assignments. Well, I hope that this is changing starting this weekend. I am off to another weekend with Sisterhood of Scrapping and hope to be able to get a few things done and will be back this week to share some things with you. Have a great weekend!
