I've been scrapping up a storm

After I finished my June challenge I felt the creativity flowing through me and I couldn't stop so I thought I'd share a few pages that I recently completed. This one is kind of a bad pic but if you blow it up it'll probably be easier to see.
My Halloween page
This one I did a while ago but I wanted to share it anyways
This one took me a long time because I made all of the lettering by hand. The clear letters are shrinky dinks and the red letters are painted cardboard.


This is another one I did a while ago but still wanted to share
I just did this one and it went really fast. I had this circle paper for a long time but I was overwhelmed with what to do with the busy pattern and it was the perfect solution to pair it with another piece of paper and break it up.


June Challenge {Completed}

So I just finished my June challenge and I just had to post it right away because it's one of my new favorite pages. Here it is. . .

I used a hole punch to make these circles out of my piece of cork and I cut my white paper into a circle.

Ok sorry this next picture is sideways I'll rotate it later I just wanted a close up picture.

I added these brads as bullets for each sentence

I used the rest of my package on these letters and added a little rick rack behind them.

So there it is and I can finally say {for once} that I am all caught up on the challenges and it feels good.

May Flowers Book Completed











I am thankful for this July catch up month. Well the truth is that I've had my May flowers book done for quite some time but I haven't posted them. Since we now have a new computer and uploading pictures now takes seconds instead of forever, it's no longer a huge task to post something on the blog. I have to do my June challenge (I know it's my own assignment and I haven't done it) so I'll post that when it's done. Also I've completed my sweater and I love the way it turned out so I'll have to post a pic of me wearing it, but it might be a couple days because I don't want a picture of my swollen face on the blog. I just got all four of my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday and my cheeks are swollen and I'm in pain. So I'll attach these pictures and wrap this post up because I'm getting really dizzy from the vicadin I took. Miss you guys and I can't wait to see what new crafts you guys post.

Schools Out For the Summer!


Well, it's July-halfway through already. I think I'm officially saying it's summer break and catch up time. Sometimes we need breaks to get the creative juices flowing again. So soak up the sun, get outside, be refreshed and energized because the juices will be flowing again in August!
