A fall layout

I made another layout for my Creative Technique class (which has now ended, I am missing it already!) that I am quite pleased with. I shot some pics of my boy in the park the other day and just knew they would be perfect for this. The technique was to use a photo strip on [...]

A scrapbook layout for a friend

I made this layout as part of the Creative Techniques class and I have already given it away as a gift to a friend. This is her little girl, Angelica, and she is just so adorable, isn’t she? My kids love having her over for playdates and on this day we met in the park.
I [...]

A layout for the creative techniques class

I think this layout might be my new all time favourite. I really like it a lot. I used several of the techniques we’ve learned in the class, like the grungy background paper, the spackle stamp and making ink spots to increase the grunginess.
The photo is an old one of my boy, although I managed [...]

Scrappy stuff

I promised I’d share a new layout I made for my technique class, so I will. I made the layout using one of the grungy background papers I showed in my last post, I also used a technique we learned in class #4, making our own rub-ons. I printed the title and the [...]

My online technique class

So, I mentioned some time ago that I’m taking an online technique class over on Creative Scrappers, right? So we’ve had some more lessons and they are GREAT! I am learning so much, most of all that it’s OK to let go of control, that the less than perfect is sometimes the MOST perfect, if [...]

A few more for WCMD

Last weekend I managed to finish a couple more cards for World Cardmaking Day. Man, I had such a BLAST getting these done on time.
Here’s one for the technique lovers’ challenge on Splitcoast. The challenge was to make a nested flower, using whatever you had on hand. I chose to use patterned paper (yes, chicken, [...]

World Cardmaking Day

I had a fantastic day yesterday, feverishly making cards for challenges on two different forums – Splitcoast and Creative Scrappers. And I’m still not done! Thank goodness I have until Monday night to finish 4 more cards for Splitcoast and until the 12th to finish 24 (yes, 24 !!!) cards for Creative Scrappers. Holy crap, [...]
