Simply Amazing

2007-06-10T06:27:00.000-07:00

here is another stab at me trying to simplify my work. I am pretty happy with this one. I had to take picture of it tho. it just wasn't scanning well.. thanks for looking. love to here any comments you have.

Krystal

2007-06-09T08:03:00.000-07:00

I've been really working hard on simplifying my layouts, I'd like MORE simple and WOW in my work, I want it to be about the pictures and the feel. I think for awail there I was getting to hung up on over embellishing and it was becomeing more about the "STUFF" than the pictures and memories. So I'm focusing on that more and getting there I think.. what do you think?
thanks for looking and would love the any comments
Oh and I'm looking for a sweet poem to add where the journaling should be but I haven't found one that fits yet.

Silly Banana Business

2007-06-09T07:50:00.000-07:00

Based from a sketch, and done for a recipe challenge, this is my take on it all! It was a really fun layout to make and of course my son this my most favorite topic to scrap.. thanks for looking

WHAT"S NEW

2007-06-02T07:54:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's been a wail since I updated here, but the end of school is near and life is Full. The newest most exciting thing in my life is my Cricut Expression machine arrived at my door yesterday and WOW this the cutting machine of all time.. it's all that and more.. This baby will cut chipboard, cut as small as 1/4 and as big as 24 inches, it will cut to fill your page, yep if I want to cut multi images I just select the image and size then push the "fill page" button and it will cut as many as will fit on the page AND it figures out how many to cut all by it's self, now that is one really awsome feature. The 12x24 mat size is also pretty cool, you can put two sheets of 12x12 paper on that mat and it will cut it as a two page layout witch will come in handy. I can have one half of an image on one side and the other half of the image on the other and since it cut it side by side it will match up perfect. Not to mention the cool scalloped cuts it can do and the tags, bags, and boxes cartridge will be super fun on the Expression machine. I can make a gift bags or boxes in just about any size now. So what all this really means I think, is I will in the long run save so much money on embellishments that it will pay for itself over and over again.
I am already totally smitten with it .. it doesn't talk back or leave the toilet seat up, and it always please me what more can a girl ask for ??

This Layout was inspired by one saved in my fav's and Also because i got my first set of foam stamps and wanted to use them, it was fun to try out something new.

Home is where the dog is

2007-05-22T09:23:00.000-07:00

I made this for a friend.. I don't have a dog so i jumped at the chance to scrap her baby.. I hope she like it..

Flower Fariy

2007-05-14T08:08:00.000-07:00

This was inspired by a challenge to make a layout about something other than people. well this little fariy lives in my planter box, the kids replant it every year. She my look old and weathered but she seems to have a little spirit about her?

This is a simple one for me but the simplicity really has a big statement .. sometime in scrapping less is more.. and not every layout has to be "packed" with stuff.. keep that in mind and let the pictures tell the story.. what do you think?

May you always walk in the sunshine

2007-05-06T09:37:00.000-07:00

This layout was the most fun layout I have done is a long time. The WOW about it for me is I hand stamped and hand cut every single flower. I layered them with pop dots, inked the edges and used a white uniball to add depth and life to them.. I am sooooo lovin' this stamp set, I can't wait to make more in many diffrent colors

A layout I did off a sketch on scrapbook doodle

What inspires you??

2007-04-11T08:43:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share a bit about the way I scrap. I only scrap what pictures inspires me "in the moment" I don't worry about trying to finish an album or to scrap in chronology order, I just do what inspires me and what I feel. WHY?? well I have found when I do what inspires me my layouts come out way better, with feeling and depth in them. Of course it puts me all over the place when I scrap, so albums take a lot longer to complete, but I think for me it's worth it for the quality I get when I'm scraping. I scrap for the fun of doing it, as a hobby anyway I'm not doing it just to get it done.
I see each layout as one of a kind, a work of art, a master piece as an individual layout, not really part of an album story but more as; each layout has it's own story. So when I put them together in an album they are not in any kind of order other than by age Such as: my son has an album from birth to one year old, then starts an album for him at age two and so on. For my older children I have had to combin ages since I didn't have enough picture to fill an album for them at each age. In each album the layouts don't have an order it may start with a Halloween layouts and end with and Easter layouts, I put them in the albums as I scrap them for me this works. I wasn't always like this I have only been doing this way in the last year and a half, the reason I started is I wanted to improve my scraping skill and style and wanted more "WOW" layouts.
So if you feel you want to improve your skill or style or your are starting to feel a bit board with scrapping, I suggest putting aside your hang up to scrap in "order" and flip through the photo's you have and scrap what strikes you in the moment. You just might be surprised!!

Theme Challenge

2007-04-10T12:13:00.000-07:00

Here is my sample for my monthly challenge at HTH. It runs from April 10th to May 10th. The challenge is to do a layout using card stock only ( no Pattern paper ) and the twist is you have to use 3 or more colors more detail at HTH. I had all these pic's from Halloween so i used a sketch for my sample as well. Hope you'll come to HTH an Join US in the FUN! (the link to the site is on the side bar of my blog)

Beautiful girl

I did this for a Sketch challenge at Split coast.. here is the sketch; http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=503251

thought my layout turned out very spring like... I could Finlay use those fancy pants chipboard scrolls I got at HTH YIPPY!! and of course my favorite 3 bugs in a rug pattern paper!

scrappy atmosphere

2007-03-16T07:59:00.000-07:00

Check out the MESS!!! Yup I scrapped only 3 layouts and this is what the clean desk now looks like...crazy!!

SO tell me what is your scrappy atmosphere like?? what surrounds you and puts you in your groove?

well what mostly surrounds me is MESS, but it doesn't put in the groove!! In fact I tend to get less done when i have a huge mess. But if it's all clean and everything is put away. I can't wait to scrap, it's like i can hear it all calling me to come out a play!! Just dieing to make a mess HAHHAHAHHAH

Fried Cheerios

2007-03-15T15:25:00.000-07:00

This is the first time I tried my hand at the new scalloped edge card stock, it was fun to use. I did it for my BOM. A challenge Sharon is running at HTH; a childhood food. I thought it was a fun topic and fried cheerios were defiantly a fun and original food from my childhood. we didn't have a lot of money as a kid and cheerios came in the free food boxes, my mom would make them often in place of popcorn , now as an adult I make then for my kids just as a treat and for the fun of having them. They love them!

2007-03-13T16:42:00.000-07:00

This Layout was inspired by Anita's challenge at HTH, in honor of St. patty's day to use the word "Lucky" on a layout ...

Paper is; my minds eyes, BG color me silly and the the rub-on word is lil' Davis rockstar rub-on's

Have a Wonder St.Patrick's Day

card of the day

2007-03-08T13:43:00.000-08:00

I was in the mood to stamp, and this is what I came up with. It reminds me of spring. the color combo is one of my favorites, burgundy, blush, and soft pink. I'm so lovin' my oval punches too !!!
Have a happy day

2007-03-04T13:23:00.000-08:00

I saw this card made by "copmonkeys" on Split coast and it made my day, I just has to lift it. The Cars move is my 3 year old son's favorite movie . I hope you all get a good laugh from it too.

A New Month

2007-03-01T17:02:00.000-08:00

Finely Spring is in 20 days!!!!. I can tell as the flowers are poking up, the air is crisp and the mornings brighter earlier. I've had a slow scrapping week and hope to get into it over the weekend. I got a few new stamps and some new supplies so that will help. I even printed some pic's so I'm one step closer.

Free Spirit

2007-02-26T06:41:00.000-08:00

Well this was done for a sketch challenge at Split coast and also for the color challenge Hosted by Kimber at HTH creations http://hth-creations.com/home (see message boards for challenges if your interested in playing ends March 15th we'd love to have you join in)
I find working with the color yellow most challenging for me.. I'm sure you have a color you least like to work with also.. well not only was the yellow in this hard for me but I hate my hand writing, I wished now I hadn't done it.. but I'm callin' this one done. and leaving it as is.. The only thing I like about this layout is the Bohemia rub-on HAHAHAH . The paper is Basic grey "urban couture" line, it's a hard line to work with I think, the print is cool, but a bit wild for me.. This layout for sure pushed me outside my comfort zone.. and we all need that once in awhile.
So happy scrappin'

Sunday and already the end of Feb.?????

2007-02-25T08:18:00.000-08:00

Well I say slow DOWN!!
The year is flying by, I can't believe it's already the end of Feb. Awwww but then that means spring is near and with the weird weather all over, we'll be glad it's coming.
Okay well I decided I would not set any scrappy goals this year, other than I'd like to use more of my stamps in my Lo's.. Well Not setting any goals sure has paid off for me so far, In Jan. I scraped 26 layouts and over 36 cards (of course many of the cards were the same design ..but hay) and as of today for Feb. I've scrapped 12 layout's .. I guess not have a goal has set me FREE hahahahahah, I've been rideing the the "feelin' it" wave, scrapping only what truly inspires me, Well it kinda puts me all over the place as to what I'm scraping, BUT I have been very pleased with my work lately, witch is not the case most of the time. My last Layout witch was titled "she was an artist and her life was her canvas" really put me in touch with the artist in me.. So I think I'm on to something here and gonna see how far I can take it..
hope you find a good scrappin' wave to ride too. HAHAHa

2007-02-24T17:28:00.000-08:00

Spin Me

2007-02-24T12:44:00.000-08:00

okay this layout if a full lift from creating Keepsakes magazine Jan issue page 121 and I must say I love the way mine came out anyone who has this magazine feel free to see the original mine is very close to the same..the doodling (stitching) i did by hand!! I free handed it with a pencil, then pierced small holes along the doodling ( stitching) with my poky thing and then drew on the black stitching and boy did it take me a long time HA -the designer in CK is April Peterson.
