BOOK LOVER

hello everyone! it is a beautiful day here in San Diego, no rain Yay!!! i'm still under the weather but better than this past few days. in between sneezing and coughing and sleeping (don't worry i didn't sneeze or cough on my LO's LOL!)i managed to finish some LO's . this is my 3rd LO using my SCRAPBOOK NOOK OCT kit and believe me i still have a lot of LILY BEE papers. this is inspired by SKETCHES 4 ALL SCRAPGIRL OF THE MONTH CONTEST challenge #1 and i am enjoying this so much! here is my take-

YOU MAKE ME SMILE

good morning everyone! i was able to finish a LO again last night or should i say early, early this morning LOL! like most of you i like to scrap while everyone's asleep. this is my second LO from my SCRAPBOOK NOOK OCT KIT and i'm telling you the LILY BEE CATCHING FALL collections are beautiful and the JILLIBEANS corrugated shapes are my new fave. this LO is for SKETCHY THURSDAY NOV GDT challenge with a twist where they ask to use color orange and punch tool. this is also for SCRAPPING THE MUSIC featuring the song BUBBLY by Colbie Caillat. here is my take on this challenges-


SUPPLIES: PP's: Lily Bee, MME, Crate Paper. Cardstock: Recollecttions. Ink: Tim Holtz distress ink. Stickers: Crate Paper. Flowers: BasicGrey, Jillibean Corrugated shapes. Bird: Jillibean corrugated shapes. Alphas: BasicGrey Alpha stickers. Paints: Craft Smart and FolkArt acrylic paints. Others: Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Ranger Stickles, twine, ribbon bloomers, DMC floss, vibtage buttons, Jillibean sugar picks, tacky glue, foam adhesive.

i think i went stitching crazy on this one LOL! i love how they turned out though. can you see the "love" i stitched on to the photo? i love this technique although my arthritis is kicking in, my wrist is hurting from too much stitching- old age LOL! i used the same technique i used on my previous LO on the corrugated shapes- i dry brushed it, sprayed some glimmer mist, ink the edges, i added some Distress stickles on the edges, and added beautiful vintage buttons. i was heaving a hard time thinking of a good title for this one, i have a picture in my head how i want my title will be in my LO and just needed a good title to go with it. i went blog hopping and found that Bubbly by Colbie Caillat was the song of the week at SCRAPPING THE MUSIC- so i used part of the song as the title and i am very happy with it.

HAPPY MEMORIES TOGETHER

just a qiuck post, trying to reach a deadline LOL! this is for SKETCHY THURSDAY 10.4 sketch challenge. i used by SCRAPBOOK NOOK OCT KIT on this one and they do not disaapoint. i love the LILY BEE CATCHING FALL collection, they have such beautiful colors and patterns. here is my take-


SUPPLIES: PP's: Lily Bee. Cardstock: Recollections. Ink: Tim Holtz distress ink. Flowers: Jillibean corrugated flower shapes, BasicGrey Bloomers. Embellies: Jillibean sugar picks, Crate Paper. Alphas: Cosmo crickets, BasicGrey. Stamp: Studio G. Paint: FolkArt acrylic paint. Others: tattered angels Glimmer Mist,twine, brads, metal frame, flower ribbon, DMC floss, Tacky glue, foam adhesive

i had fun with this sketch and with this October kit from Scrapbook Nook. i especially love the Jillibean corrugated shapes- i dry brushed them with the white acrylic paint then sprayed it with glimmer mist. i also used the packaging from Jillibean sugar picks, it's where i placed my title, isn't it cute? i forgot to introduce to you my mother and father-in-law on the top photo and my sis-in-law with her boyfriend on the bottom pic. this was taken last Sept, our trip to Vegas for my 30th birthday. thank you for stopping by. have a goodnight as for me more scrapping tonight LOL!

this is another great shot from our camping trip last April for Easter. this four sure look like they had so much fun and they look so silly LOL! i love how my flowers turned out, i cut them out on one of the pp's from Recollections, used foam adhesive for dimensions, added bling in the center, and then cut-out some green felts for the leaves. i also cut out the owl but it was too flat so i decided to add some dimensions on it and addded the googly eyes, isn't he cute? as always, i inclued some hand-stitching. do you know i have two sewing machines but still choose to hand stitch? i just feel more crafty when i do hand-stitching and i am terrible using my sewing machine i have no idea why the thread always breaks or it gets tangled LOL! i need to get back scrapping, i want to finish more pages today. thanks for stopping by and leaving me sweet comments, i really do appreciate it. i have another good news to share with you guys soon. God bless and stay safe.

PLAY TIME

hello, it's me blogging in the middle of the night. it's been raining hard all day and i've been coughing, sneezing all day but i still went to work and now i am really sick and aching all over...but that wouldn't stop me from blogging and scrapping LOL! i finished this LO yesterday morning. this was inspired by MY MIND'S EYE BLOG CHALLENGE #16 with the sketch where they asked us to use black in the LO. i used my MME's COMPLETE BOY paper pack and LIFE STORIES 12" KRAFT cardstocks. so here is my take-


SUPPLIES: PP's : My MInd's Eyes, Tim Holtz. Cardstock: Recollections. Ink: Tim Holtz distress ink. Stamp: Autumn Leaves Clear stamps. Others: yarn, zig calligraphy pen, brads, DMC floss, Tacky glue, Recollections foam adhesive.

i free hand the letters using the MME's pps and used foam adhesive to add dimensions. i cut out the circles from the MME's Life Stories Kraft cardstock and i even used the cover of the cardstock pack/label. this is Joseph with her lego blocks this photo is recent. i added some journaling, i asked joseph what are the things or who are the people he loves and used his answers for journaling.
hope you like. I hope the weather will be better so i can get better. have a wonderful Wednesday.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

hello everyone! happy sunday to all of you! finally finished another LO using my SCRAPBOOK NOOK Sept kit. i know, i'm so late using this kit i still have my Oct kit waiting for me. i just LOVE, LOVE the CRATE PAPER RESTORATION collection. i love the colors, the patterns, and most of all the vintage feel of it... beautiful collection! I made this LO using CRATE PAPER THE SKETCH CHALLENGE_ OCTOBER EDITION 2010. Miss Emily Pitts the CP Sketch contributor did an amazing job on the sketch she provided this month and i just love it. here is my take on her sketch-


SUPPLIES: SCRAPBOOK NOOK Sept KIt- PP's: Crate Paper Restoration Collection. Kraft: MME's. Cardstock: Bazil Basics. Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink. Stickers: Crate Paper. Chipboards: CRate Paper. Embellies: Jillibean Corrugated Cardboard shapes, Crate papers vintage buttons, K&Company. Alphas: BasicGrey, Making Memories. Others: Twine, DMC floss, Ranger Stickles, Smart Craft acrylic paints, Tattered Angels Glimmer mist, Gel pens, Tacky Glue, Recollections foam adhesive.

i altered the sketch a little bit, instead of using squares i used circles and dropped the numbers from 16 to 9 circles. i did all the hand-stitching on each circles and Jylian's name and 2010 on Jylian's photo. lots of cutting, distressing, and inking as usual. i was so happy to have capture Jylian smiling because she is always on the move and like DIVA she doesn't want her pictures taken. i forgot, i also tried Lucy Edson's technique of printing photos on patterned paper although i only used printed paper with a very subtle print on it and i didn't have gesso on hand- see the two smaller photos of Jylian?
i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed creating it. have a wonderful day and God Bless!

hello it's me again! this is my second post tonight. this is another LO inspired by SKETCHES IN THYME challenge #17 and for THE PAPER VARIETY WEEK #3 challenge "The sky's the limit" theme- and i used kites on my LO. i've used my CRAZY DAISY KIT again making this LO. i am really loving this kit. well, here is my take on these challenges-


Supplies: PP's: Scribble Scrabble, Crate Paper. Alphas: American Crafts Thickers, BasicGrey Alpha stickers. Chipboards: Crate paper. Stickers: Crate Paper, Jillibean. Ink: Tim Holtz distress ink. Others: twine, gel pen, Stickles, yarn, googly eyes, tacky glue, & Recollections foam adhesive.

this is joseph who is always ready to have his photos taken. love that smile! i got the title from the shirt he's wearing it say's "Captain Cool's deep sea fishing tour". i wrote a list of things about Joseph using my fave white gel pen. for the letter O's i place a patterned paper under it and add some googly eyes for fun. i made my own kites and add some stickles on it, aren't they cute? i did some stitching here, too. that's it for tonight. hope you enjoyed the LO's i shared with you tonight. God bless and Goodnight!
