This Makes Me Happy!

What makes me happy? Stamps, markers and patterned paper!!!! It was nice to have a couple of hours in my craft room this evening, I made this card while watching the finale of American Idol! :)

Do you ZHU ZHU?

I used the SWEETHEART level 2 paper pack from Close To My Heart for this layout. I really love the pennant alphabet from Close to my Heart, that is what I used to make the banner that you see on the layout. So much fun!

No patterned paper was harmed in this layout!!!

Ha ha! I have stamped and inked the ENTIRE layout! NO PATTERNED PAPER was used! I created the two peices of patterned paper with Close To My Hearts "Two Step Background" stamp set and two colors of ink...so easy and I LOVE the look! The Doily was cut out with my Cricut and then sponged to create an aged look. You have to try this stamp set!!!!
Please click on the layout for a closer look!

 I made this card with the same two step background stamp set. The sewing machine and scissors are from the Tailor-Made stamp set frm Close to My Heart.

I had alot of fun creating this card!! I stamped the background with Versamark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder then sponged ink over top. I repeated this process several times until I was happy with the effect. I added Prisma Glitter to the butterfly wings.

Sketches

I am planning on a scrappy weekend!!!!!
Here are some sketches that I plan to work on...

From Sketchy Thursdays:

From Once Upon A Sketch:

And from Creative Scrappers:

Harmonie and a GYSO sketch!

 I should be thinking SPRING but had to scrap this cute picture of Hannah and her doll "Taryn". Hannah got her Mapelea Doll (Canadian Girl) for her b-day in August and she has not put her down since. I love the fact that she adores this doll...keeps her away from TV and video games!

I used Harmonie pp and brads, and CTMH chipboard snowflakes for this layout.

Have a happy EASTER!

Vernon BC

Oh this layout sure made me think of summer! We had so much fun on out last summer vaction. We went to Vernon BC and loved it there! It was so nice an hot, we spend alot of time in the campground swimming pool!
I used a sketch from GYSO! All papers and accessories are CTMH. I created the "spray" on the white cardstock with CTMH's new spray pen and reinker.

Busy Busy!!!

This week has been CRAZY!!! We put in an offer on a house on Friday, and it was accepted! YAY! So then, we had to get our house decluttered and ready to list!!! OMG! 15 years in this house...we have ALOT of stuff!!! We still have a few things to do, so not much time to scrapbook.   :-(
