Autumn 8X8 scrapbook

Today I am showing a Autumn 8X8 scrapbook I made.

We took a week-end away for our 11th anniversary.

We went to Toronto to the Theater and Niagara Falls to the place we got married.

I used selected 3 main colors for the book: Brown Orange and Teal

I used double page layout based on Pagemaps sketches. {pagemaps}

I used Nestabilities and the Cricut for the die cuts in my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook. 

To save paper on my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook I used BOTH sided of my base card-stock.

I was able to make this album in one day. All the paper in this book is from Stampin' up. 

If you have any questions about my Autumn 8X8 scrapbook just leave a comment.

Happy Krafting, Shaz

Thanksgiving

We have celebrated Thanksgiving here, south of the boarder. But I am sure our southern neighbors are starting to think about Thanksgiving. My brothers and I have gotten older and we have made some new "more mature" tradition. Some like Pecan Pie or ice-cream. 

We LOVE to play RISK!

I am not sure how it started but it is our new favorite tradition.

In this lay-out I documented the prominent players.

My brother my husband and myself.

I would also like to mention in year 4 of Thanksgiving RISK I won!

{hehehehehe}

Hey did you know there was a Lost version of Risk?

***I have done a literal translated the article for you***

Many we have ourselves funny playing Risk, the popular game of strategy that it has like objective to conquer the world, and Pedro Contreras, a true Lost fanatic and artist, has created a unique editing of the game based on the series.    A created unit of artisan form by Contreras only exists, and the rules or specifications to be able to play are not known, perhaps but the producers of this famous table game cheer up and they buy the idea to him to this great fanatic of Risk and Lost. Somehow it had to kill the time Pedro Contreras while it hopes

Do you have any unique Thanksgiving traditions ?

Let me know,

Happy**belated**Halloween

Things were so busy on Halloween I didn't get to say:

"Happy Halloween!"

My family has never really gotten in to the festivities.

This year was very different all the kids went out and had a great time.

I guess this is a good sign my babies are growing up.

 I made these fun Edward and Jasper buttons to wear when I was handing out the candy.

 I also made my husband a LOST costume. It was very simple.

He was dressed like a Darma Initiative mechanic.

Some of my LOST creations are going to be featured over at Eve's blog this week so take a peek!

Eve is a Lost loving crafter too. She has also done some great Twilight inspired creations.

I have some scrapbook pages to show you this week,

So I'll see you soon,

Shaz Vs. the glitter {bom bom bah}

I love the way glitter looks on a card but I never seen to get it right...

This is a card I made with Heather's Recipe over at the club Anya site for the Cinema Saturday "Finding Nemo" challenge with this week's Mojo 109 sketch. {phew}

I had the glitter all lined up teal on teal and orange on orange but somehow... somehow it got messed around. Not that it looks too bad, but I never win with glitter.

Any hooo!

The Finding Nemo Creative prompt was a color prompt and I just loved the colors! I love teal and Aqua the are just my fav! It also suggested that we use a quote from the movie so after much google-ing I chose the quote" good feeling gone". I liked this quote, it is so funny, when Dory is all happy and the it switches off..."good feeling gone." It is a great movie!

If you have not seen it Watch it....

You will laugh.

autumn{treat}

We celebrated our last birthday for a while. Our youngest child turned 4 on the week-end. It was a great day. We had a family party so each invite was for at least 3 people. All the kids and all adults had fun at glow-in-the-dark bowling. Everyone came back to the house after for cake and pizza. Our little townhouse was packed! :)

Making party favors for family parties are kinda tricky... I wanted something for each family to share. Popcorn sliders seemed like a good idea, people share popcorn, right?

I have more party crafts and a great card to show you tomorrow.

See you soon,

Shaz

Sketched{page}

I love scrap-booking! It is truly my favorite thing to do.

I found this great site called: Unscripted Sketches.

It was mentioned on Momiji's blog {Hollie}.

When I saw Hollie's sample, I could not resist.

Take a look, this is Sketch #25:

The Sketches are so perfect.

Well, I dug right in and scrapped 3 pages inspired by this sketch.

Only 2 ended up looking like the sketch so here they are.

It was so much fun! I had a great time making these pages.

What do you think ?

Don't Forget about my GIVEAWAY!

Only 4 sleeps until my Birthday!

See you soon,

A window to the past.

A window to the past is a card I made for a color challenge a while back. I am not sure why I didn't get around to posting it but... Oh well.

What I love about this card is the delicate details. Inside the window frame are soft clear embossed flowers on vellum. Some are grey and some are orange to coordinate with the vellums existing pattern.

Supplies:

Peach Orange and Grey Card-stock, designer vellum Orange and

grey ink, Clear embossing powder.

Hope you are enjoying the last days of summer.
