I've been wanting to make rosettes ever since I saw the Jillibean Soup Staples II papers in the September 2012 kit from The Card Kitchen.

 From the kit:  Jillibean Banner Bites and note card; Creative Craft Works iCandi; wood sticks. Other: SRM sticker sentiments; WRMK corner chomper; unknown ribbon.

Pumpkin House

I realized I hadn't stitched on a layout for a while, so I went all out (or around) on this one:

I used Pebbles Tree House papers; Core'dinations/Cosmo Cricket embossed cardstock; American Crafts Cardstock, glitter Thickers and glitter brads; and Paper Trunk alphabet stickers. I used the Sew Easy piercer (Zig Zag) and WRMK floss for the stitching. The misting was done with SU! markers and the spray tool. This LO was based on the S:CY sketch #27-12:

Take me on a hay ride

Here is a page I have been meaning to post for some time, but the weather wasn't nice enough to photograph it.

I used Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar papers and stickers; calendar journaling sprouts.

Money holder card tutorial

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but life seems to get in the way sometimes. I made this birthday  money holder using Jillibean Soup papers (Chicken noodle, Summer Squash, Coconut Lime), die-cuts (Apple Cheddar, Coconut Lime) and twine.

And here is a quick tutorial. My card was 7.5" wide and 4" tall.

1- Start with a base 8.5" wide and 9" tall. Cut a 1/2" strip from each side, starting at 2" from the top. If you use a paper trimmer, position the blade at 2" and cut down:

2- Trim the strips at an angle to create tabs and fold back. Score the card at 2" and 6" like this:

3- Decorate the edges with a border punch. I used scallops:

4- Add adhesive to the tabs and fold the pocket. I added a different patterned paper for contrast.

Back 2 School

Quick post to celebrate my son's first day of school.

I used the Simple Stories - Elementary - paper pack, SU! marker, Glossy Accents, unknown cardstock and ribbon from Laurl's Etsy shop.

Feed me, farm LO

I finally got back to scrapbooking after vacations. This page uses Jillibean Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup papers, diecuts and stickers from The Card Kitchen March 2012 kit.

Other: Cosmo Cricket Ready Set Chip alphas, SU! marker (Espresso), unknown cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Confidence

As you probably noticed from the past few layouts, I'm really liking the contrasting frame look on my pages. I think this layout is a combination of the previous two...

I used: Jillibean Soup Monster Stew papers and journaling tag; Basic Grey small details and alpha stickers; Thickers; unknown chipboard tag and tickets.

See the ship?

This is one of the few "staged" photos I have ever taken. I had a "scrapbook vision" and I told my son where to point and where to stand. He cooperated so well, the photos even look spontaneous!

For this page I used BoBunny papers (Blueberry Stripe and Paradise Surf) and Rub-Ons (Imagine). Other: Jillibean Soup alpha stickers (Hearty Barley), Cosmo Cricket chipboard alphas (Red Robin), Queen and Co. pearls, Creative Impressions White Web trim, unknown white cardstock and lace trim. I rubbed a bit of ranger distress ink (Antique Linen) on the white alphas to get them to match the chipboard ones a little more. This LO was inspired by Ann Seleshanko's sketch #21-12 over at S:CY:

As you can see, I flipped the sketch sideways and added a smaller photo where the title/journaling was supposed to go.
