Tinkerin' WSOTG....

Tinkerin' WSOTG Kit to order this month and put together next month...Such fun bright paper! I love the "gears"!

The first layout is out of the Summer Idea Catalog right on the 'Tinkerin' page! So fast and easy to put together!








2nd layout idea came from Inspired Blueprints which is a blog that posts layout ideas...(stole from Karen's Blog...which I LOVE! Thanks Karen!)

I thought it worked up really well and SUPER fast! This is sketch #26. I found this darling poem about "laughing" from Inspirational Short Stories, under positive Laughter Quotes. I am a collector of quotes and poems and things... and this page reminded me of fun, which then leads to smiling...which leads to laughing and wallah! :) The poem goes like this:

"A smile starts on the lips,
A grin spreads to the eyes,
A chuckle comes from the belly,
But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul
overflows, and bubbles all around"

When I get my pictures on this layout, on the first page, I am going to use chip board letters that say "laugh"...but I want my pictures to be underneath...and sooooo......

Layout 3, kindof came from CTMH only I changed it up a bit....added "Summer" using the Essential Alphabet and "fun" using the new (well..in the summer catalog new) Field Trip Alphabet.


Happy Scrappin' and Stampin'!

Bella!

"Bella" is the WSOTG kit for this months order, next months club gathering....once again...I LOVE CTMH paper!!!! Just cannot help myself!!! LOVE IT. Had so much fun putting these pages together! Yes...I stamped and cut out 50 flowers (but hey, stamp and put in a movie...anything with Matthew McConnahottie in it works for me! lol! and CUT away!) and I used a zillion Garden Green Brads..which I am almost out of.... BUT I love the colors and the way they all went together..... This month Kit costs: $26.50 plus tx/sh! COME PLAY!

LAYOUT 1: "Beautiful Girl"

I found the idea for the first layout on Jeanette Lyntons Blog under "Color Me Monday: A new leaf...June 8th....her's is labeled "thirteen" and I labeled mine..."Beautiful Girl" and did these beautiful pictures of Jentrie (my 7 year old) I took these pictures on Mother's Day and they could not of been MORE perfect for the Bella Paper! I just went with the same idea for page 2 and changed it up a bit! I used the flower stamp sets from last Junes SOTM: With Love and "Tickled Pink" stamp set. The Alphabet is the Chocolate Sets both large and small....LOVE THEM! And the Fun Frames Dimensional Elements....They came together TO CUTE!!!

LAYOUT 2: "When We Love..."
The first layout is also and idea from Jeanette's blog under Color Me Monday: Hollyhock in Bloom, June 15th.... and the second layout idea from Color Me Monday: Heavenly Blue, May 4th...I LOVE idea's for layouts. To see how I can change them up and make them my own....On these layouts I used the Building Block Alphabet and the Classmate Alphabet....some Bella Stickease...more flowers (cut from the 50 before mentioned ;) Best of all my models....My Valerie and Hubby taken on our vacation to AZ...loved the way it all worked out because it wasn't what was in my brain...this turned out even BETTER!!!

LAYOUT 3: "Let Us Grow..."

I got lucky with this one, I needed one more layout to display and this is what happened! lol! I used all stickease and paper....and Dimensional Elements Borders (leftover from the Animal Cookies Kit ~ Yay!) using Olive ink and sponge daubers to color the swirls and some liquid glass to make them POP!!! 3-D foam tabs to lift the flowers from the Stickease set, a bit of Hollyhock ribbon and wallah!!!!! Can't wait to put my pictures on these pages!...AND I have TON's of paper leftover for MORE fun Bella pages!...I LOVE WSOTG.....I have never made so many pages per month in my life as I have with the WSOTG! between 6 & 8 pages (and sometimes 10!) per kit! If you are WSOTG Gals from GUNNISON you SHOULD have at the very least 36 pages w/or without pictures....up to July and if you do the bonus pages you should have aprox. 46 pages! whew WHOO!!! I need a NEW album!
*For ordering or gathering/club/party/ information please leave me a comment ;)
Happy Scrappin' and Stampin'!

Back Country....July WSOTG

Layout 1: I LOVE the layout on the cover of the Summer Catalog...So...I MADE it! (minus the picture :)......I was so excited I just happened to have the Building Block Alphabet and the Hodge Podge Alphabet. I printed the 'moment by moment' on the computer using CTMH's 'Tall Pen' Expressive Font CD Volume 1. And the New Backwoods Stamp set....page 18. YAY!! I created the second page to match using more trees from the Backwoods Stamp set and a few stickers from the Back Country Stickease.... I seriously need to get pictures on these pages.....
Layout 2: I also really liked the way the New Flip Flaps (another new fav!) were used on the 'Peurto Rico' Layout (page 18) So I recreated the page for our family reunion pictures. On the second page I used the Essential Alphabet to stamp 'Times' bleeding the colors and the Hodge Podge Alphabet to stamp 'Good'! With a few stickease...I have more embelishments to use but need to get my pictures on first :)...
I also have a few more layouts to finish up ... so I didn't post them....(makes 4 - 2 page layouts...that is 8 pages....PLUS scraps for more layouts, cards or other projects!!!)

• Back Country level II paper $12.95
• Back Country Stickease $4.95
• Demensional Elements-Adventure $4.50

Animal Cookies...June WSOTG

I love this layout offered by CTMH. Those who did not order the WSOTG made this page. It really is 2 cute....
AND those who ordered "my" kit can make this page with scraps and white daisy cardstock out of their stash!





Layout 1: "Wild Thing You Make My Heart Sing!" I made this layout from the Imagine Book (CTMH) page 108 titled the "Grand Finale"....I thought it turned out pretty cute. All stickease and buttons (some buttons are the Dimensional Elements Boarders) Layout 2: I had used all my card stock and had tons of B&T duo's left over....this is what I came up with using my scraps. The gals at club put "kids" instead of "boys" at the title....I used my "Solo" Stamp Sets for the whole title :) YAY! I used the "Wild & Crazy" stamp from the "It's A Zoo" stamp set in random order on strips of Desert Sand cardstock.
Layout 3: "It's A Zoo Around Here".....I love the animals and the buttons and the little film strip from the Dimensional Elements Boarders.....also added some sassy strands :) Layout 4: This was easy and fast....well all except the circles...WOW...so cute...kinda a pain...the technique is from the Imagine Book (CTMH) page 61 titled "Fiesta" using a metal rimmed tag and a dry embossing tool pops out the circle...then sanded the top color layer off....turned out cute though...Added the Clouds and Kites from the "Childhood" stamp set, flowers and "wonder" from the stickease, some White Daisy ric rack sponged with Clover Meadow Green ink for the flower stems...wala! Can't wait to get my pictures on these pages!


(PS....Ladies...I really am working on the Recipe sheets....hopefully tomorrow...provided the interruptions!)
Thanks for your patience :)

I love this PAPER! I had so much fun putting this kit together.

I copied the scallopes from the quote (from the stickease) blew it up on my computer and it WORKED! (copies will be included with instructions) 4th layout...is also my own...it is a bonus layout (you will need extra cardstock from your stash)...with all the B & T duo's leftover..I had to make more pages...and I still have TON's of paper leftover...YAY!

I love the CTMH Daydream paper level II kit! So SWEET!
I HAD so much fun doing these layouts :) I LOVE the CTMH 'Cupcake Sprinkles' stamp!!!! I have used it SO much! I am going to add pictures from Jentrie's 7th birthday ~ it was a PRINCESS party! YAY! And I loved using the 'Create A Shade' paint to make my flowers just extra special (thanks to Brandie!!! my upline for the idea!!!).....I also added some bling by sprinking on some CTMH Prisma Glitter! And I used my CTMH Font CD to make up my little saying...I am going to use pictures of my girls with daddy!

Happy Stampin & Scrappin!

*Stardust Paper *

The WSOTG kit for this month is the 'Stardust' paper. On the pages for the girls I added blush ink to make them a little more girly! ;)

I just need to finish the journaling on all but Dallin's! I used pictures from the past and present with wish of greatness for the future! It was a great way to use up my photos! And I made 8 pages! 4 - 2 page layouts! I was so excited to make so much out of a level II kit! (plus embellishments!) yay!
Happy Stampin and scrappin!

The Workshop On The Go!!!!

Yay! This is a fun concept...a $25.00 + kit (25.80 plus tax/s&h= $29.46) will create a bunch! My kit for January includes the following:

• That's Amore Level II paper packet
• Journaling Spots
• Hodge Podge Ready Color Alphabet
• Mini Braggin' Tags
• Accessories ($1.00 worth of flowers, ribbon, sparkles..ect..)

I love to see how far paper can go... :P
I was so in LOVE with this paper! The colors are Chocolate, Garden Green, Tulip and Blush! So pretty! And so February!!

The "I Love You" layout was inspired by a layout done at a different retreat I went to in Salina a few years ago, I like it because it is fast. I am planning on taking some fun pictures of my family and turning them sepia for these pages...can't wait to finish them. I love this layout!



















This layout came from CTMH TV on the CTMH websight. I love CTMH TV. I learn something super fun everytime I watch it. I didn't have the same stamp as them for the
"Forever Always" but I think my "Friendship" stamps worked great! I loved the techniqe they showed on how to put a design in the letters. I will be showing my ladies this when we put them together next month. I need to get an updated picture of Rhett and I to finish this layout. Fun and fast!! The boarder stamp is the new "Key To My Heart" paper crafting special for January only...(47.90...out right for the whole kit, which is beautiful, or free with a $130.00 order)








This next layout was inspired by my girls. They LOVE country star Taylor Swift and her new hit song "Romeo and Juliet". The song says..."it's a love story come on baby just say yes." So I thought I would do a "love story" layout using our family love stories...I am still waiting on one more picture from my mother in-law to finish this. I am going to write down each couples love story to go with their wedding picture. Starting with Rhett and I, my mom and dad, Rhett's mom and dad, and each one of our grandparents. The 1st 3x3 picture is of my only living set of grandparents...they Celebrated 64 years on October 31, yup Halloween! My grandpa will be 90 on his next birthday. He has Alzheimer's :( It is very important for me to write my memories of them now. My kids know him and my grandma. They don't understand that he doesn't know who we are each time we visit.They just go up an give him a hug and he just grins. I am so excited to finish this layout, so my kids will know the love stories of where they came from....I am excited for the ladies at club to put their pages together!!! I have another wedding picture to put at the top of the first page, but I had to get another print, so I am waiting on that to finish up....I don't like to leave to much emptiness...I like to fill them up with pictures. :)



The Braggin Tags.... I love mini albums and I was so excited at how big this "Tag Album" was and it is only $5.00 ($4.95...but seriously) lol! I used ALL my scraps from my pages to put this together plus a few leftover B&T duo's. There are 10 - 7 1/4" x 4 1/4" pages plus covers, I did all mine front and back! Use it all up :) I modge podged the front and back to give it a finished look. I also added the ring clasp instead of the post it comes with. I like it to flip like a book. I have enough B&T's left over to make a few cards or even another lay out using cardstock from my stash! I feel that for $25.80....I was able to accomplish alot! The ladies like the idea of putting together six finished pages...can't wait to see how it goes...next month I am using the "Stardust" paper...can't wait to get started! Happy Scrappin' and Stampin'!!!
