I am trying to get back to “nOrMaL”, whatever that is… of course people keep telling me this thing doesn’t go away for weeks, and I am starting to believe them….

Fun and Sweet… oh my!

Hi everyone!

Here is what I did with the “A Day In the Yard” Ribbon kit from Savvy N Sassy and with the July kit from 2Gals Scrappin’!  These are two a fun kits!  And who doesn’t love pom-poms and the beach?  

I wanted to add emphasis to the picture, since so much is going around it.  So I decided to add the blue pom-pom trim to the framed photo.  Notice that I since it was not the perfect match of color, I decide to add a few different flowers and sticker to play with different hues and values of blue.  And did you noticed I cut out a few flowers from the pattern paper, it helps not only to make it all seamless but also grounds the photo.  Challenge for this one is Pencil Lines and Scrappin’ the Music.  (I did this LO last week, but I couldn’t show it to you until now.)

Life is better with an Oreo!  (I think I might scrap that picture again with that statement as a title.)  I wanted to celebrate my daughters joy of eating an oreo.  I used some of the SnS May Kit – Ann’s Picks for the tag, some brown pom-poms from SNS June kit – A day in the yard, some scraps of green cardstock, one of the design papers from the July 2Gals Scrappin’ kit and some Doodlebug trims from CropStop.   The brown was just perfect to reflect the color of the Oreos, plus it added some fun and a celebrating touch, don’t you think?

in training and more…

ok, my friend vicki showed me this cool LO she did all white and red and told me it was for a new challenge that she found… well, I was playing today and ended up w/ my version of her version of the challenge LOL!!!!

Used 2 Gals Scrappin‘ June Kit that has Cosmo Cricket Snorkle Collection, added a few things including my June kit from SnS (Savvy N Sassy).  If you love ribbon go check out our prizes and sponsor at Pile It On!  Not sure if you can tell but the vellum where the journaling is written is dry embossed w/ a Sizzix Embossing Folder.

Some New and some not so new projects

This SnS ribbon kit is very down to Earth just like Ann!  I tried using it as main element and as just little add ons and it is one wonderful kit for both of those uses.

On this first sample, the ribbon is playing major roll on the page.  It is all about twisting and intertwining them, just like love!

Materials: Ribbon by www.savvynsassy.com; paper by Sweetwater; MM eyelets; Mustard Moon alpha stickers; Indie Art Cricut Cartridge

This page needed a frame, something that in a subtle way will bring your eye to the photos and ground all the elements together and what better use than RIBBON!

Materials: Ribbon by www.savvynsassy.com; Paper Pups Cricut Cartridge; Everything Else is the June kit at www.thescrappingedge.net

This card is all about the image, but it needed a little something to transition to the sentiment.  And some ribbon enhanced w/ some cute little sequin flowers was just what it needed.

Materials: Ribbon by www.savvynsassy.com; paper from www.thescrappingedge.net May kit; stamp Fiskars; Sequins Doodlebug Designs

I’m ok… really I am…

This is one of my favorite stamps from Stampin’ UP! that I got some time ago from my sweet demo Roxi.  I stamped him with Tuxedo Black Memento (but I swear that he ink bled when I added the water for the watercolors… ) on watercolor paper.  Painted the image with Twinkling H2Os (I wish you could see how shimmery it is, btw.  Luminarte is closing so if you want your Twinkling H2Os better order them really really soon!)   I think he is so adorable, and I must say he really summarizes how I feel when I am just “not so ok”.
