This is How We Roll

I thought this was a fun title for the picture of Maddie and my niece, Nora while they rolled Lefse with Grandma.  It has been a tradition for them it seems and they are getting pretty good at making (and eating) it!  For the title I used two different alphabet stamp sets - Letters for You and Layered Letters alphabet. 

I added a few images from the Homemade for You stamp set as well as one sentiment from the All Year Long Project Life collection. 

For the designer series paper, I chose Candy Cane Lane specialty paper and added some Candy Cane Lane baker's twine as well.

There are a few random Project Life accessories and the little camera clip is from the All Year Long collection.

Supplies:

Homemade for You, All Year Long Project Life, Layered Letters alphabet, Letters for you

Crumb Cake, Real Red, Basic Black ink

Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso card stock

Off to Middle School!

This layout showcases my daughter's fourth grade class on the last day of school this year.  They will be off to a new school in the fall. I chose a 12" x 12" piece of Dapper Denim card stock to start with and added some images from Playful backgrounds using the same color ink. 

Then, I added a piece of designer series paper from the Fruit stand collection and some Swirly Scribbles die cuts.  The wording comes from the Watercolor Words and Layering Letters alphabet stamp sets.

The stars are leftovers from the May Paper Pumpkin kit.

Before I left for my scrapbook retreat last weekend, I tried to do a little picture organizing (tried being the operative word!).  I went through a big stack of pictures and made lists for the kids and asked them to go through their albums to see if those events were already in their books or not... It was actually a good way for them to spend a little time away from the electronics and they enjoyed looking through the albums (I guess I will have to try that again!).

 

This big event for Maddie was not in her book yet so it is one of the projects I put together over the weekend.  It was a very important day for her and everyone made her feel SO special.

 

I started with Mossy Meadow 12 x 12 card stock and added some Birthday Bouquet designer series paper.   

 

The photos are matted on Watermelon Wonder and I added some Metallic Glitter tape (SAB 2016), simply pressed clay blossoms, sequins and some flower trim I had dyed with some Pink Pirouette reinker.

 

The title is stamped with the Layered Letters alphabet stamp set.

#HappyBirthday

 

 

Well, we finished digging the potatoes on Tuesday - yeah!  Then, Wednesday we started harvesting soybeans so there was no break between them this year, although it rained Wednesday night so I have a few days to play catch up.  I might just be able to keep the posts going all the way through harvest after all - we will see!

 

Another fairly quick card to share with you again today using the Balloon Bash and Layered Letters Alphabet stamp sets.  The hash tag in the background is from the Layered Letters Alphabet set and I stamped that with Tip Top Taupe ink.

 

I added a little piece of Pretty Petals designer series paper and a metal rimmed pearl to finish off the card.

Layered Letters Alphabet, Balloon Bash

A Fish Story

 

Wyatt always seems to be the one to catch the Big fish each summer in our family.  This year was no exception and the scrapbook page below is our documentation of it for him.  

 

I chose a piece of Farmers Market designer series paper for the background and added a layer of Crumb Cake card stock over the top that was randomly stamped with the By the Tide stamp set.

 

 

The title is created with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp set and I added some little pieces of Corrugated paper with buttons on the side of the page.  The squares were the cutouts left when I used the Hearth and Home thinlits on a card.

 

I used my circle punches to cut out a picture of the lake water and rocks to add to the layout as well.

Maddie's Stamping Stuff

 

Each year we get a gift of cheese from some of our seed potato customers in Wisconsin and it comes in a cute little wooden box that I never want to throw away.  

 

I have made a box of cards with custom made envelopes before using one of these boxes, but this time I decided to make something for my daughter's stamp table.

 

She is 9 1/2 and always wants to scrapbook and stamp and has her own little spot in the basement.  It is nice to always have a stamping buddy! 

 

I used the Schoolhouse Designer series paper pack along with some different stamp sets and embellishments to decorate the box and I know she has already filled it up!

 

For the top, I used the Layered Letters stamp set along with some 1/4" Pool Party cotton ribbon and a basic hodge podge clips accent.  There are also some White perfect accents used.

 

The sides have buttons and sentiments...

 

She was so excited to see what I made with the box and even more thrilled to find out it was for her!
