I've got several layouts (19 pages) that I did at scrap camp a few weeks ago. I still need to journal on a couple of them, but then I promise I will photo them and post them as soon as I can.
Have a great weekend!

Such clever little card kits
Ok . . .this was just so stinkin' clever I had to make a bunch of them!!! I got this idea from Aaron's blog . . . she's got so many cute and clever ideas . . in fact she's having a great giveaway right now, so be sure to get over to her Booth and check out her amazing talent!!
This one was 100% scraplifted from Aaron . . meaning I used the same stamps and the same colors . . . . . some things are just too cute not to have!
This is the cover:
This is the inside (the little vellum pocket to put stamps in was my idea!! -my little spin on Aaron's idea!):
These are the cards inside - 4 cards total, with various simple sentiments:
This kit used CTMH's DREAM BIG incentive stamp set and our new spring color Tulip.
With these, I took Aaron's idea and made 2 more kits using different colors and different stamps . . .
the first set uses Papertrey Ink's Birds of a Feather stamp set and CTMH's retired Breeze paper:
The cards inside:
For this set I used CTMH's DREAM BIG incentive stamp set for the tree and Chocolate and Goldenrod papers:
So . . the clever part of this card kit . . .is that the kit is made by gluing 2 envelopes together . . as simple as that. You can get all the info from Aaron's blog. Hope you enjoyed my spins on her adorable idea! Have a great one . . .

Some simple cards
I've been making a lot of simple cards lately . . . they are fun and easy and QUICK!!
Here are a few . . .
Got this owl stamp at Michaels and just love it . . .
Made this birthday card on the way out the door to a party today with Family Ties - Children (CTMH):
Another stamp from Michaels . . I don't have any bunnies and I like the simplicity of this one . .
:-)

Cards
Here are 3 cards I put together for my hostess club on Saturday. I have been wanting to play with Ms. Gardener . . . and had so much fun paper piecing her in the cute little hippie pants (Emporium Lv. 2 paper). The gals in my club had fun doing the paper piecing for the first time . . .CTMH's new Ms. stamps just lend themselves to that technique, don't they?
And 2 cards copied from the CTMH bulletin boards . . . with my own little tweeks:
More later . . .

Finally . . .
Yes, as promised, I finally got my other 3 layouts photographed and uploaded . . here they are . .
10 Things I Love About You
I must admit, I shamelessly copied this layout from another CTMH consultant! Every now and then, don't you see a layout that you JUST HAVE TO HAVE in your album? This was one of those layouts for me. I absolutely loved it and copied it almost exactly (except for the things I love about my sweet little Joey). All products are CTMH:

Right page:
Christmas 2007
For this layout, I used more products that I've had around for years . . . the paper, stickers, and my quickutz reindeer that I just love but have never used before. I like the way this one turned out:
Left page:
Right page:
Ocean Shores
I really don't like the wave sticker I used on this layout, but it seemed appropriate and I've had it for so long (as I have the cute surfer paper) I just had to get rid of it . . . Other than that, I like the layout . . . I like the colors (not typical for me) and the photos. And I love Ocean Shores . . . so it's hard not to like the layout when I have such great memories.
Left page:
Right Page:
That's it for now . . . I haven't been in "scrap mode" for a while, so it will take me a week or so to get some more layouts put together. But I've been wanting to play with my stamps and take on some challenges for cards . . so keep coming back to see how I'm doing!

Lotsa layouts!
I got into a little frenzy just before the holidays . . . felt like I needed to start using some of the products I've been stashing for so long! So I pumped out about 12 pages (WOW!!) in about 1 week! I was pretty proud of myself. So, here they are . . .
One Tired Boy - I added a journaling tag underneath the middle picture (you can see the little red ribbon sticking out of the side). Basically, it says that when Joe is tired enough . . he can fall asleep just about anywhere . . . this day he fell asleep on the coffee table/trunk in the living room, wearing his Incredible Hulk costume . . lol . . he is too funny!
New Bunkbeds - my sister and b-i-l made these log bunkbeds for my boys and brought them out to us from Montana last November (2007). They are beautiful and the boys love them! For this layout I used all CTMH products - love that Caprice paper!
Two Little Monkeys Jumpin on the Bed - my boys love to jump on our bed . . . just had to capture it on a layout . . .and . . I've had this paper for so long I can't even tell you! I cut out 2 of the monkeys and popped them up on the photos . . . !
1st Day of Preschool (Little Sprouts) - this was my youngest son's (Joe) first day of preschool last September . . . he is just so stinkin' cute, isn't he? My little lovey . .
I used all CTMH products for this layout - one of my absolute favorite paper packs EVER . . Sarsparilla . .
Here's the full layout:
Left page:
Right page (the quote on the tag says "nobody knows what a boy is worth and the world must wait and see, for every man in an honored place is a boy that used to be."
Halloween 2007 - this was my boys on Halloween year before last . . . .Josh was a great vampire and Joe was a sweet little monkey . . lol . . For this layout I used paper and embellishments that I've had for YEARS!!! Finally dug them out and used them . . .boy that feels good, doesn't it?! Also used some new Papertrey Ink stamps (spider with web and the cat):

That's it for tonight . . . I'll photo the rest tomorrow, yes, there is more! I have a 2 page Christmas layout, a 2 page "10 things I love about you" layout and a double page layout I'm just finishing of a trip to Ocean Shores last summer. . . .so come back and check them out!
Have a great night . . . happy scrappin'!

Christmas cards
I don't get on here to post as much as I'd like to . . . but I have been finding time to play in my scrap room!
Here are some cards I've made over the past week.
I love love love this paper (MyMinds Eye):
I made these cards (all CTMH products) for a class a few weeks ago:
Just a quickie card using a tree that I had stamped and put aside about a year ago!
This is a cute little coaster photo display I made to put a couple of Christmas photos of the boys in (photos will go on the coasters on either side of the O) . . .

I know I've been promising this for a long time . . . I FINALLY finished it about a week ago and am just now getting it uploaded!
This was my oldest son's 1st day of school this year . . everything is Close To My Heart except the patterned paper. Enjoy!

Life, Christmas Tree and Free CTMH Stuff!!
Sorry I haven't posted in so long . . . life is moving at full speed and although I do find some time to play now and then in my scrap room, I don't seem to get time to photo and upload and post everything. I'll try to get some of my recent work up tomorrow.
We went out first thing this morning to get our tree at a local tree farm. The boys love searching for the perfect tree and helping Dad saw it down! I was so bummed because when I took my camera out to take photos (as I do EVERY year), my camera battery was dead! So, no pictures this year, but I will post a photo of the tree and decorations that we put up today. What a festive transformation - in just a few hours - whew!
If you haven't checked out Jeanette Lynton's blog yet (CTMH founder) you should. She is giving away a Level 2 paper pack from the beautiful new Spring 2009 Idea Book. I spent some time the other day reading through her blog and she is so inspiring. I hope you get a chance to check it out!
Hope you are all safe and well and that you are enjoying the start to this festive season! We're still waiting and hoping for snow, but it has been so mild lately, I'm not sure we'll see any until after the first of the year!
More tomorrow!
