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

Bright Spring colors!

I am very excited that spring is around the corner.
I am SO done with this muddy winter!.. Blah...

This card is for the YNS Challenge 10 Spring Colours ...... challenge as well as the Creative Card Crew's Challenge 45 Get Well Soon... WAIT the Mojo Monday 126 sketch too.{boy oh boy}

I really got creative with this stamp... See the lamp on the side table? It is actually a bottle!

I added a piece of strategically placed DP to make a lamp shade and Viola!

I wanted to use my new Shark sewing machine on this card.

So I added stitching on the top and bottom of the card. 

I am not sure the tension was right but the stitching is still O.K. Not perfect! but O.K.

I love these bright colors. I had so much fun with these colors I made this wedding card too!

No challenges, just for fun.

Prince Ian, my love.

Back again, with a second post of the day.
My prince has arrived and it is Ian from the Greeting Farm.

Club Anya and Friends had two of the fun-nest Challenges. 

Make an Easel card.

Use purple and Green

I also Piled it on with 

No winter Colors

and DCBD Sketch Challenge #163

I tried something kinda new for mw here. I printed the digi Stamp on Photo paper. It is great for making the colors vibrant but not so easy for the blending with Copics. Hmmm... Back to the drawing board.

Or if it isn't Broken Don't fix it.

Happy Krafting!

Bookmarks for all!

This one is for theColour Q.-17

I an not totally in love with how it looks but is is good at keeping track of pages. {LOL}

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.

smiles & bloopers

I have smiled so many times since I joined the GreetingFarm gallery!

The artists on the farm are so talented and encouraging I have love browsing the card they make. It is my new favorite gallery!

Today for the "FarmFreshFriday" challenge over at the GreetingFarm gallery. The challenge is to make a "no Fills" card. I must say it was tricky to refrain from ribbon and flowers. But I did it!

I made an easel card with this template. It is so simple. You can make three 4 X 4 inch card with a sheet one 12 X12 of card-stock. I also used the sketch from MojoMonday and the colors from ColorThowdown.

Now for my BLoopers!

Since I have had so many smiles from the comment here and at the GreetingFarm Gallery. I thought I would make you smile.

I will show you some great card bloopers!

This card was a scratch and sniff card that got licked by a 2 year old.

This card got edited by two 4 year olds!

This card was enhanced by a 5 year old stamper.

lol ... I love kids! they are so CREATIVE!.... lol

I hope you loved the bloopers. I am sure I will have more in the future.

Have a great week-end,

Shaz

charm{story}

I really like scrapbooking but it seems that I spend more time on card making....I wonder why?

Anyhow, here is a page I made for my birthday. I had some ID photos from a charm bracelet I made for my Mom last year. The picture were all so precious, I kept a copy for myself. So, I named the layout "Charm Story".

The large photo is a crappy print from my printer. I'll get a real photo printed for my scrapbook,later. I just love this picture of me. {I am always behind a camera} The camera in this photo is very unique my husband picked it up at a yard sale, before we met. We don't know much about it but it is OLD. {must have known he'd marry a shutter-bug}

I used lots of rub-ons for this layout, and black velvet ribbon. {tres luxe} I also used my favorite colors: Teal and Lilac.

{material} patterned paper by Basic Grey. card-stock by SU! Rub-on by Daisy D's. Brad, ribbon and button from the nooks and crannies of my KraftNook.

Well, You may have noticed that I am very excited about my birthday! I did a little birthday shopping {with birthday money of course}. I ordered some stamp from Greeting Farm and Verve stamp. I ordered both today... so ... The race is on! Wonder which order will arrive first!

Only two Days left on my Giveaway, OK,

Shaz

Sleep~over{loot bags}

Well today is Sleep-over day.

You may have seen the invitations I made for my daughter's Birthday sleep-over. Here are some of the items in the loot bags.

• Candy bag with topper
• Embellished note book
• Wrapped Sparkly pencils
• Wrapped Chocolate cookie bar
• Hair clips on a handmade card
• Handmade bookmark Clip
• Music mix for her friends {not in the photo}

I try to "limit the loot" to small gifts. I don't like to put too much candy in the loot bags. Kids are always so excited after a party. A sugar high is just too much!

Have a great weekend,

Shaz

***Don't forget about my Birthday giveaway.***

mini{shutter}

Hey there my crafty friends,

I have been overflowing with creative energy. Here is the first of many crafts, it is a mini tri-shutter card.

Yes, I said mini!

Gotta love the little thing in life!

I started with the tutorial on splitcoaststampers from Bonnie. I used a base card of 4" X 6". To resize the card I divided the score lines and cuts in half. So, my score lines are at 1”, 2”, 4” and 5” with cuts 1" in between 1 and 5. I was hoping to use this as a invitation but there is not much room for the information.

This size is perfect as a tag for a gift bag.

You will have to visit soon to see the invitations I made. {wink}

{materials}

designer paper & butterfly punch by Martha Stewart,brads, ribbon, scalloped square punch & stamp SU!

Have a great week-end,
