Kreaxions Punches & Webster's Pages!!

Happy New Years Eve!!

Friday is my post day over on the Kreaxions Punches blog

and I've used my Kreaxions punches along with my huge

basket of scraps on my desk (I just can't stand to throw

away those gorgeous patterns) to create another layout

using Webster's Pages GORGEOUS papers!!!

On this layout, I used the Butterfly 4-in-1 punch to create

the punched border under the title and then saved those

tiny butterflies that get punched away to use as accents that

go along with the other butterflies that I created by using the

Kreaxions punch #604 Butterfly that you can see to the left

of the photos. Make sure you check out the Kreaxions blog

to see the other two Webster's Pages layouts that I created

along with punched accents from Kreaxions punches!

Have a great weekend and a Happy New Year!

My 10 Faves of 2010

Alrighty!!

This was about impossible to pick just 10 layouts that

are my favorites from this past year, but a few can't

be shown because of publication so that made it a tiny

bit easier.....I think! Anywhoooo, here they are.....

My style is constantly evolving and fave color combos

changing but I truly LOVE scrapbooking and creating!

Besides my family, it is the first thing on my mind when

I wake up and the last thing I'm thinking about at night.

I'm very thankful to be able to create, I live for designing,

and absolutely LOVE every second.....it's just a part of me!!

Wow, I look back at these and it's been such a great year!

I aiming even higher for 2011! Happy New Year!!

Christmas Recap & A Few Projects

Hi everyone!

I hope that this Monday finds you well.

So, here in our house, it's time for the Christmas

clean-up...we play, eat, relax, and have fun all of the

days surrounding Christmas and now it's time to find

homes for all of those presents and time for Mom to

have her house back!! Here's a few pics from Christmas...

The kids had an absolute blast!! Becca's big gift and almost

only gift this year was her laptop, Emmy's big gift was her

guitar, and Carter's was an electric Cars 4-wheeler!!

They had a very good year, and we enjoyed some family

time at Steve's mom's house during the afternoon.

It was a very Merry Christmas!!!

Of course, I have a few projects to share with you too that

I've been working on the past couple of days. I have another

layout using the Garden Gala line from Webster's Pages.

This one has a few more clean lines (like I've mentioned before,

I like to scrap in a variety of styles, just depends on my mood

and the products) but it's still very much Webster's!!

I also have a double layout that I scrapped with some of the

same photos. I do this sometimes because like in this case the

single layout will go into Carter's baby album and the double

layout with all of the photos included will go into our family

album. Do you all do this too or am I the only one? :)

This layout was created with Momenta papers and alphas.

And last but not least, here's a card using a cute little digi stamp

from Kenny Kiernan and the pattern papers are Crate Paper.

I distressed some of the pattern paper on this card by simply

using sandpaper lightly over the paper creating some rough

and raised areas and then gliding my ink pad over those

areas picking up a bit of dark brown ink on the raised areas.

Well, that's all for today!!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Merry Christmas!!!

Wishing you and your families a very

Happy Holiday!

More Webster's Pages!!

Ok, I just wanted to quickly share another layout

and a card that I created with the Garden Gala line

from Webster's Pages...I literally can't keep my

hands off of these GORGEOUS products!! I think

someone may need to start a WP anonymous group! haha :)

And yes, for those of you wondering, I am trying out for

the Webster's Design Team so we'll see how that goes...

fingers crossed!!

Here's what I came up with this time...

....and my card....

Just love love love the pattern papers!! Every night when

my little one goes to bed I sit at my scrappy desk, watch

a Christmas movie, and fussy cut 'til my heart's content!!

HEAVEN!!! :)

Alrighty, I'm off to do some wrapping of the gifts!

Happy Wednesday!

Snow Fun, A Black Eye, & Some WP!!

I know, Iknow, strange title for this blog post

but that's exactly what happened on Sunday.

My hubby takes all the kids sledding and snowboarding

every year, it's kind of his thing, and they had an

absolute BLAST as you can see from the pics he

snapped (yes, my hubby knows better than to

come back from an excursion with the kiddos

without any pics....I've taught him well, jk!!

Anywhoooo, towards the end of all the snow fun

my 14 year old daughter, Becca, and her cousin were

playing around hitting snowballs with their snowboards

as if they were playing baseball and my daughter just

being her (super athletic, made the play of a lifetime one

minute and not having enough grace to even walk ten

steps the next minute) self, swung the snowboard with

all of her might and whipped it around so far that she

hit herself in the eye! Oh yeah, that's my Becca!!

You can see just a little bruise there under her right eye.

Crazy kid!!

I did some creating the past couple of days as well,

what's new right?!! I create just about everyday of my life!

I used the Garden Gala line from Webster's Pages to scrap

a few photos from Becca's pool party over the summer.

I'm absolutely in LOVE with these gorgeous pattern papers

and that teal background print is just to die for!!! Teal is

my absolute fave color!! I totally love how you can cut

and trim away til your little heart is content with these

papers...I could just sit for hours just fussy cutting away,

it's my happy place where I can just block out the rest of

the world and create my own little world of beautiful cut-outs!

Here's my layout that I came up with and a few close-ups...

Gorgeous products!!

Well, I'm off to finish up a few last minute details!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Christmas Cards!!

Happy Monday everyone!

Oh, I'm such a happy girl today!

I was able to sleep until 8am!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooohoooooo!!!

For all of you with two year olds, you know how special

that is to be able to sleep all the way until 8am! My girls

are out of school (thank goodness, I LOVE having them
at home) for Christmas break and we have lots of

wrapping and baking cookies and just family time to do

over these next two weeks....Carter LOVES having his

big sisters at home with him, he finally has playmates!

Ok, on with the cards!

I shared my layout on Friday that I created with the

gorgeous Precocious Paper flowers and Momenta products,

and now I'd like to share a few Christmas cards that I

created over the weekend using Precocious Paper flowers

and the Momenta Winterberry line...I just LOVE the

coordinating chipboard accents like that big candy cane!

So cute!!

Alright everyone, I'm off to stock up on tape and start

wrapping all those presents! Have a wonderful Monday!

LOVES :) -Sarah
