Once your project is completed, please return to CC upload it to the gallery, tag it JBH2012 and then upload it to this event.

New Layouts and cards...

I just wanted to post some of my latest LO's and cards to share with my Happy Scrappy Friends! I've had some great mojo flowing lately and love it, maybe it's the new products, or the pictures I have ...or both! I just love when it seems more like play than work !

I just really like making vintage style cards..

Dreams Come True LO - One of My DD's Engagement Photo

Love MME, another photo of my DD on the day of her engagemnt, I tried to mix my stlyle up a little and use more white space and some paint splatters.

This LO was made using my Sept MCS Kit, I just LOVE the bold contrasting colors in the collection and had fun making this funky and romantic LO.

LO for a challenge at Colorful Creation called Say It With Words, I just love the girliness of this Carta Bella collection Paris Girl. It was a lot of fun to use in the photo of my dd and her dog Sophie. I made the butterfly using a template and score board, and titled my LO puppy LOVE

Just loved all the fussy cutting and stickling I added to this LO, it was an Inspiration Challenge at Colorful Creation.

More MME! I really just love this collection it so bright and cheerful, lately I've been doing a lot of banners on my pages and using Wahsi Tape - aka my newest obsession! I'm having fun trying it out and adding little spots of color using it.

Another Fave Paper Line! Webster Pages is sooo yummy! I love having fun with all the bright and cheery colors, fussy cutting and trims! Thank goodness I have to daughters since I love everything girlie!



Another fun card made using MME, I really like all that you can do with the border punches....endless possibilities

Simple but elegant Thank You card, using more MME. I love doing layers of border punches to make it look lacey.

Another DT - Toot Toot!

Once Upon A Sketch - remember

I did this LO for a sketch at OAS, I've had this Prima paper for about a year now and just no photos to go with it. My daughter recentloy got engaged and had a photo session done for engagement pictures; I just loved the sweet romantic feel of this photo and thought it would be perfect with these papers and for this sketch. I just love it! Thanks for looking!






the stamped sentiment says....all you need is love



New LO's

 Time to show off some of my latest LO's....

This LO was for a Red,White and Blue Challenge at Colorful Creations

Since my last post my cutie pie sweet little girl turned 18 in the beginning of August and I just can't for the life of me remember where all the time went! And as luck would have it we got/I got her a cute little Papillon puppy for her bday! OMG she is an adorable, loveable, fun little ball of fur...and Madison names her Eva!  Don't you agree?

And if that wasn't enough excitement for one week....My oldest daughter and her boyfriend got engaged! It was such a special and wonderful day, I don't think she has stopped smiling since.  A Sept 2014 wedding seems to be in the planning! So much FUN!

A few new LO's

I've been a Busy Scrapping Bee and Loving every minute of it! giggle! Here's some of my handy work...TFL!

For a challenge by Andrew at Colorful Creations the word to use was/is TIME, including layers and lace in the LO. I used a picture of myself when I was 4 years old. I've always liked this picture so it was fun to do a LO for it. The vintage look of Pink Paislee London Market Collection was just perfect, I loved using the large bold letters to accent the softness of the LO. This was a fun challenge and I really enjoyed it!

Turning Back Time

The next LO was for a challenge at Paper Secrets, again in was a word challenge this time the word was COLOR. Another fun one to work with. I knew right away I wanted to use a recent picture I took while on the beach. I always love all the bright and fun colors of the beach umbrellas, and got a great photo of them. The hard part was finding paper to go with them that accented but not over shadow them. I finally decided on a plain white background and leaving a lot of white space...two things I hardly ever do...but have to say I really like how it turned out!

The Colors of Summer

And lastly today is a card for a challenge at Let's Scrap. This was from the sketch this week, Loved this sketch, shopped my stash and came up with this card.

in my Heart
