Reveal Day Already

I can't believe that it is the 21st and reveal day already. Where has the month of May gone? That is a whole different post for another day.. Here is Cherie's sketch for this month:



Here is my take on the sketch.

May 7th Sassy Card Sketches Reveal Day

Today is reveal day over at Sassy Lil' Card Sketches. Be sure to go check it out and join in this month for a chance at the prize from our sponsor.

This is the Cherie's sketch this week:



And here is my take on the sketch.



My card is made from the Bo Bunny Peacock Lane Collection, CTMH Kraft Borders, Spellbinders Lacey Circle die and butterfly from stash.

Happy Easter

I know that I am a couple days early, but I signed up for an Easter Card Swap over at Sassy Lil' Sketchs Forum where we made an easter card and sent it off to the person we were assigned along with an embellishment. I hope that the recipient of my card and goodies liked them. I really liked the April 21st sketch at Sassy Lil' Card Sketches, so I decided to use it again for this card.


This card was made with Cosmo Cricket Delovey PP, Sizzix Accordian Flower, Buttons from stash, Ribbon from stash, Studo G Wood Stamp, and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I have been collecting 6x6 pads for a little while now and have decided to make a concentrated effort to start using them rather than just collecting them. I won the Delovely pad last summer from The Scrap Review and I really like it. I am really glad that I used it on this card as I think that it is very springy and made a great easter card.

Sisterhood of Scrapbooking Retreat

Last July when I went to my first retreat with Sisterhood of Scrapbooking I won the grand prize, which was two nights in a suite at the Holiday Inn. This layout is one that I did this past weekend while at the retreat. I ended up sitting next to Carole this weekend and she said, oh, I took those pictures! We had a great time at the retreat and I got a few layouts done. I will try to share a few more over the next week or so.




I tried a new technique which was pleating. It was fun to do. I used a scorpal to do it, scoring it at the 3/4" marks and 1" marks. I used BoBunny Peacock Lane Collection, Imaginisce I Bond, Epiphany Round 25, Tim Holtz Paper Rosette, Recollections Mini Round Gems, Ice Stickles Glitter Glue, Helmar 450, Helmar Gemstone Glue, CTMH Kraft borders, Spellbinders Lacey Circle, and CTMH Lagoon Ink Pad with sponge dauber.

It's Sassy Lil' Card Sketches Reveal Day Once Again

Boy, I don't know where this month is going. It seems to be flying by...

Well, it is that time again and Cherie has another great sketch for us.



Here is my take on the sketch. I wanted to make a thank you card for Barry's boss who invitied us to join her, and some other people from the group that he works in, in a suite at the Dodger game opening weekend. We had a really good time and I wanted to make a card for her. I thought that this was the perfect sketch to use for it.



For this card I used Chatterbox Rubon Alphas, MFT Banner Die Cut, Bazzill CS, Stamping Station PP, Double Mates CS, Creative Imaginations PP, Best Creations 3D Foam Tape, Colorbox Charcoal chalk, and Baker's twine.

Don't forget that by using one of the card sketches this month and linking it to the Sassy Lil' Card Sketches blog by May 5th, you will be eligible to win a prize from one of our sponsor this month.






Remember that they are revealing over at Sassy Lil' Sketches today also. If you enter a layout on that blog you will be eligible for a prize from one of the layout sponsors.





Thanks for looking.

Sisterhood of Scrapbooking Retreat and News to Share

I am off to the Holiday Inn in Fullerton for the Sisterhood of Scrapbooking Retreat. I am looking forward to seeing several of the ladies that I have met at the past retreats and meeting some new people. It starts this morning at 11:00 and goes until 4:00 pm on Sunday. The scraproom is open non-stop for the whole weekend and we could scrap the entire time, but of course I won't be doing that. I am not staying at the hotel this weekend. It is only about 20 minutes from the house, so I will be going home each night. Hopefully I will spend enough time scrapping to have a few things to share over the next week or so.

Also, I have some exciting news to share today. I believe that the brand new (first time ever) design team is being announced at Pages of the Heart today. Go check it out here.

Enjoy your weekend!

A Day at the Park

This has been a crazy busy weekend here with my sister visiting from Colorado. I have hit a few of the local scrapbook stores in the area, but haven't had a chance to do any scrapping. This is one of the layouts that I did recently with some pictures from one of our Willow Street Reunions.




These layouts were created with the Echo Park Sweet Summertime Blue Sky, Citrus Circles and Element stickers. AC and Bazzill CS, Sunny Days Border, Cricut Chery Limeaid cartridge, scrapmart spellbinder die, Paper Studio gemstones, ColorBox Chestnut Roan chalk, and Versa Magic Turquoise Gem chalk. I hope you like it and thanks for looking.
