Scrapbooking Inspiration

This year we spent our Memorial Day Weekend camping at Mt. St. Helens. I hadn't been there in at least 15 years, so it was really neat to see once again. I can't believe how much it has changed! So much new growth... the last time I saw it, everything around the mountain was still massively 'grey' from the 1980 eruption. I took '90' pictures as we explored the area... With every picture I took I was thinking "Oooo, 'that' will make a neat scrapbook page!" Pictured here are two of my favorites that I hope to scrapbook soon. ~x~R~x~

'SPRING'

Spring: Bikes, Butterflies, Birds, Green Grass & Growing Flowers. Oh, and of course, scrapbooking all of these things :)

May Challenge

We had our monthly 'Demonstrator Meeting' last night and were sent home with a neat challenge: To make a card using this flyer (pictured on the left) as inspiration. This is the card I came up with! (pictured on right) I had a lot of fun with this one...never would have I thought to use these colors together. My little yellow bird is cut out and mounted on dimensionals, and I used my paper piercer along the bottom edge of the card. Thanks for looking J:)

May Stamp Club

Here are two cards that my Stamp Club members get to make this month:
The flowers on the "Best Wishes" card are cut out and adhered with Dimensionals to give them a 3-D affect. Wouldn't it be cute to stick some coordinating buttons in the middle of each? The featured stamp set here is "Petal Pizzaz",


As soon as I got this set in my hands I visioned shades of Grey with hints of Black and White. There is a silver brad in the middle of the circle, which is held up on Dimensionals. The Basic
Grey Taffeta Ribbon was a perfect accent to tie the card together. What an elegant result!

The club meets on Wednesday the 13th of this month at 6pm. Non members are more than welcome to RSVP, a small supply fee applies.

Today is such a quiet Sunday for me, so I thought I would just randomly share somthing. This is a 'challenge' that we had at our Demonstrator meeting last month. We were given some ribbon, some Designer Series Paper, & 3 Jumbo Eyelets. Before we left, we each used the 'Big Shot' to 'die-cut' 3 plain white gift boxes to use as drawers. We were sent home with the mission to put them together, decorate them, then share our creations with our fellow Demonstrators at the next meeting. Sooo...this is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty cute :) And I actually do have brads in the drawer marked "brads". The cherry on top of the cupcake is actually a pink brad ;) (I am working on getting some buttons and eyelets in to the other 2 drawers...)
