Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

October Designer's Challenge

Here are my projects for the Scrapbook Generation Designer's Challenge for October!

It's a Celebration!!

My project for this week has been making birthday party invitations. I created 10 one-of-a-kind invitations....no two are alike! We're having a scrapbooking party and each guest gets to create a paper bag mini album. I guess my project for next week will be gathering and preparing materials for 12 mini albums!

Butterfly Layout

I made this layout from the Scrapbook Generation Designer's Challenge kit for September. I was so excited when I saw the butterfly paper!! I had to use it for a page for me!!

Basic Grey Ambrosia collection: Citrus and Winsome patterned paper and chipboard accents. Kaisercraft pearls.

I finished my layout with this oragami butterfly constructed with paper scraps and a brad made with my new iTop tool (toy).

Pumpkin Smiles and a tiny witch hat!

I finally got last year's halloween pictures done!! I used paper and elements from my Scrapbook Generation Designer's challenge kit (Basic Grey's Ambrosia Collection)for this month. I also used some scraps to make this cute little Witch's hat.

I saw a cute witch hat on NIkki Sivil's blog and had to make my own!! It's not an exact replica because I like to make things my way.....but I'd like to thank Michele Beck for the idea!

Rock Star layout

I fell in love with the new Bo Bunny products at Scrapbook Generation last week!! Finally BOY PAPER!! I've been waiting for just the right paper to scrapbook these pictures of Jason and Jesse with the autographed KORN drumhead that Jason got at the concert!!

This is from the Bo Bunny Cambridge collection:

Cambridge paper: Dot; Post; Stripe

Cambridge Olive Zipper Trim

Black strip from the Newsprint Wraps

and Bo Bunny Rockstar Cardstock Stickers

Jason's vacation day

Jason took a couple of vacation days earlier this week so he and Jesse could go to Kansas City for a concert. While he was there I asked him to stop at Archivers to get me a few Copic Markers. He called me from the store and sent me iPhone pictures and helped me pick out a few colors. While he was there he got me a We R Memory Keepers 16x20 magnetic cutting mat.


The mat was a surprise early anniversary gift and I LOVE IT!!! I was so excited when he gave it to me and then he pulled out a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates!! I love them......not only are they beautiful but they are also delicious!



I decided that this would be a good time to pull out the pictures of one of his vacation days last fall when he took the day off to fix all of our computers. I just couldn't pass up the pictures of him sitting at the dining table which was covered with computers! So I pulled out the Bella Boulevard Midterm collection, that I won on their blog about a month ago, to create his layout. Steve's Keys was a perfect backdrop for Jason's computer pictures.
