Football Week Day 5 (super, super easy page)

Good Friday morning! Yay for Friday!!!  I can't believe its March 1st!!!  Thanks so much for sticking with us this week. I hope you found this week informative and inspirational!!

This was the easiest page of all. The brown border and the word football are all one piece, Dawn cut it from the Silhouette!  So adorable!  I adhered that to a 12x12 creme sheet of paper. The football and the word football on the top are recollections 3D stickers and I only matted on picture adhere them all down and the page is done!! Really that simple.

Thanks again for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!!!

Football Week Day 4

Good morning, I can't believe we are on day 4 already. This week is just flying by!  I hope everyone is having a great week!

Although it may look like there is a lot going on on this page, there really isn't!!

StampinUP 12x12 paper (the green paper)
The newspaper like paper from my stash, ripped and then inked the edges. Crazy that my son's team is the Eagles and this paper has the title "Eagles Try Again"
4 pictures
The word Freshman cute from George and the Basic Stone outlined the letters in white pen and done!!!

Another 30 minute page!

Football Week Day 3 - Super easy page (again)

Thanks for coming back and sticking with us, lol! I know that football can be a boring subject, personally I love it!

So this page when I tell you took me less than 30 minutes I am NOT kidding.  The green football paper that looks like the field I had in my stash.   The title is a self adhesive title from Recollections Adhesive borders. I love the fact its 12x12!! Football is life is cut from the Sports mania cartridge, matted both of my pictures and this page is done!!  Seriously less than 30 minutes!!!

Football Week Page 2 - Easy 30 minute page

As promised day two and a super easy page.  I had two black and white pictures of my son (that Dawn took).  I cropped the pictures down to the size I wanted and mounted a black football play book page (from DCWV) and cropped that down to 10x10 and mounted that on a black piece of 12x12 paper.  The word football is a 3D sticker as are the arrow and the 0's and X's, the little football sticker on the bottom and the page is done is less than 30 minutes!!  Super easy!!

Football Week (Don't turn away, we will show you fun easy pages)

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend and got some crafting in.  I was able to squeeze some in this weekend, of course not as much as I would have liked.

So a while back I mentioned that I was working on football album for my son as he graduating HS this year.

I am going to show you my pages all week long and how easy and fast each page went together.  We know we have a ton of card makers that follow us, but we wanted to show you how easy scrapbooking can be.  So please tune in during the week and see what we have for you.

This is the album I bought at Michael s with a coupon that cost me 5 bucks!! The name Alexander was already on there, so I feel like it was calling my name, (Alex is my son's name).  I cropped my favorite picture of my son and his coach and the album cover is done!!  Easy/Peasy!!

I went to Michael's and AC Moore knowing I was going to do this album and bought a bunch of different football embellishments knowing I could use on different pages, so that really made this so much easier.

Thanks for stopping by.

Senior Day (so sad for the Mom)

This past Saturday was Senior Day at my son's football game.  It was his last home game!  He has put is heart and sole into this sport so it was a bittersweet day.  I was able to sneak a picture of his shirt and I wanted to do a page of just his shirt.  This is what I came up.

Pretty Pennants for the pennant across the top. I decided to put eyelets in the pennants to help hold the string.  I did mange to rip a few, but I covered them up with mono.

The base paper is that chalkboard paper and the yellow around the picture is chalk.  Although it rubs off, so I am not sure why its called chalkboard paper.

The rest of the things are from my stash.

Where does the time go??

Good morning!  Here is a two page layout I did of my boys, who are now 17 and 12!!!  Where does the time go, makes me sad to look at the pictures but happy to see how they are growing into fine young men!!

Believe it or not I used my stash for EVERYTHING on these pages!! I love using my stash!!!!

Make it great day!!

Junior Prom... one of many pages

I am working on getting the Prom pictures of my son and his girlfriend done.  I have so many pictures I am having a tough time deciding which ones will go on pages!!!

Here is my recipe:
All the papers are from K& Company - Life's a Journey pack
Studio 112 for the tag
Studio G for both the stamps, Dance the Night away and Prom (.25 cents at Michaels!!)
Flowers are from Accent Essentials Cart
Pennant is from the Pretty Pennant Cartridge
The gray cloth is actually my part of my son's handkerchief that was in his pocket. He never used it and I thought I would put it on the page. 

Sweet Niece Page

Every time I look at this little face I smile!!!  She is the same age (born two weeks apart) as my son, 17!!  Here she is a two. She looks like a little doll!! I started an album for my sister and I keep adding pages as I come across cute pictures of her kids.  

Grandmother page

 Here is a page I did of my Grandmother. I believe is it circa 1932.  Isn't she a beauty!  Sitting on the beach with her friends. I love this picture of her!!

 The purple heart frame is from 3 Birds Sticker Nestables.  You sand see the purple heart missing, but there are sooo  many hearts left!!  This stack is amazing!!!

Taking a new look at our stash of PAPER.....

Here is a page I did of my son when he was 2, he is now 12!  I pulled out my Focus of Photo's Stack from 3 Birds that I bought from HSN about 3 years ago and I had to have!  I loved this stack and never used it. It has a 5x7 Photo mat stack and a 12x12 matching stack.

Don't forget to look at Sunday's post to check out our challenge to win a fun prize!

My Puppies

Here is a fun page I did of our dogs. I still call them puppies!  Our Golden is almost 11 and the German Shepherd is 2 (so technically he is still a puppy, although he doesn't look like one)

I have to say I used nothing but my stash for this page.  Kel was over a few weeks ago when I did this page and she was sitting next to a set of draws that I keep some of my embellishment in and I ask her to hand be the pet draw, well if you could have seen her face, priceless.  I pulled what I had left in that draw and got busy. I had the brown circles punch for something else and just threw then on.

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by!!

HIlton Head, SC

I also love this pictures, shows a lot of the men in my life (I have a lot!!).  My dad, my nephew, my brother, my older son and in the back ground my husband and my younger son.  Told you I had a lot of men. We all went on vacation together to Hilton Head, South Carolina.  What a beautiful Island! We had some much fun.  I used SEI En Route Papers and Embellishments.  Fiskar Wave punch, then I cuttlebugged it with Divine Swirls and inked it up.  Done!  I am coming right along with Pa's book!

Pa's pages are coming along.........

I love, love this picture of my Dad and my nephew.  I think my nephew was two in this picture.  He is now 8!  Time flies.  Purple is my Dad's favorite color.  Me and You is from Graphically speaking and the rest of the paper is from my stash. Although the blank paper (really cardboard) with the letters on it is from the inside of the Kindle Fire Box.  It was soo cool I saved it.  I painted a bit to give the paper some texture.

More Pa Pages (I have a long way to go)

Here is a fun page I did of Pa and his Granddaughter.  She is very artistic so I wanted to give it an artistic feel.  Each heart is a chipboard heart, covered in different mediums.  One is Mosaic tile, the other is twine and the other is paper with modge podge over it.  The word PA was cut from the Heritage Cartridge.

Working on an album for Pa!

Hello everyone!  Anyone that has been around our blog for a while knows that "Pa" is my Dad and he makes cards and scrapbooks!  He also makes awesome doll houses!  Well he is turning 70 in June and I thought what can I get the guy that has everything?  Then it hit me, he loves, loves taking pictures and he posts a ton of them on Facebook. I snuck on and downloaded some of his pictures and I am going to make him an album!!

Here is with his Mom (94 years old, when she passed about a year ago) and his grandson, my nephew. This will be page 1.  Only 19 more to go!!

For this page I used:

StampinUP! Not Quite Navy Card stock
The blue paper and the circle are from a pack I bought that was already cut into shapes.
StampinUP Permanent Parade for all the stamped banner
Missing You Stamp and the Tag (its a die cut, sooo cute) is from My Creative Time,love this!!
The letters are from Tim Holtz Alternations - Typeset
The flower is most of my stash, except the bottom silver layer, it is a cupcake holder that I cut!  I saw that trick in the Scrapbooks Etc. Magazine!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Going back in time.

Hello Everyone!  Hope you are having a good week!  I can see the weekend from here!  Here is a page I made of my grandparents. I had these two pictures of them and I decided that even though they were taken the same year (one 1956 and the other 1966), I would use them on the same page.  I really wanted to give this a vintage feel, so I stayed with muted colors.  The paper strip going across is from 7 Gypsies, their stuff is so awesome.  The clock and flower are from my stash. I sandpapered the clock to give it weather look. The ticket is Tim Holtz.  Have a great day!!  Thanks for your comments!!

Our Golden Love

Here is a fun page I did of our Golden Retriever, Lightning (yes his name is Lightning, my oldest guy, when he was 6, loved Thunder and Lightning storms and gave him is name).   He is going to be 11 at the end of the year and he is the most sweetest dog ever. I love this picture of him. Everything I used on this page is from my stash, I am so happy!!  Happy Tuesday!!!

Cooool Rider

Hello Scrappin Dudes!!  LOL  Here is a page I did of my son, who is now almost 17, when he was about 5. Boy did he love this motorcycle. He would ride it for ever. We were always charging those batteries.  I really layered this, stared out with a 12x12 piece of green card stock, then I cut down a Coordin'ations 12x12 to 11 and sandpapered that up, then a 12x12 DCWV Argyle Green, from the Guy Stack, cut that down to a 10.5 x 10.5.  I got a little crazy. The tickets (I love me some tickets) are from Tim Holtz.  I cut out Cool from the Paisley Cart at 1.75" then shadowed it.  The word Dude is from EK Success letters that I had in my stash.  Another easy page.  Have a great day!!

Looks who's 12

Good Morning everyone!!  Sorry we haven't posted in a while. Life keeps getting in the way.  Here is a page I did of my son, he just turned 12.  Kel showed me this cute little trick to using twine!  I cut out the number 12 on craft paper and wrapped in in twine, and done!  Such a cute look. One of friends sells stamping up and I bought some stuff!!  The Party this way is from you guessed it, Party this way stamp set. I stamped it and used embossing powder and heat embossed it and cut it out. The balloons are from the same set, so darn cute this set is.  Easy, quick fun page!!  I hope everyone is staying cool, we hit a record 88 today.  Poor runners of the Boston Marathon!!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!
