Goodness Gracious Boy!

Hi everyone, Norma here with you today!  

You know I'm not a real big scrapbooker but I always look forward to doing Scrapbook Saturday.  I have so many pics that I would like to scrapbook.  I think that scrapbooking is such a great way to tell the stories behind photos that might other wise be forgotten.  It's also a fun way to get creative with papers, stamps and paints.  The overall layout not only tells the story of the subject but of the scrapbooker.

I was going through my photos and I came across these great pics of my youngest getting into all sorts of things.  Combined they tell of the story of my sweet and silly boy.

I wanted to create a fun feeling to match my silly boy so I combined several stamps sets.  I used circles from Sacred Geometry (must have set), Hanging Stars, Art Textures, Southern Sayings, A Perfect Alphabet and A Banner Day (40% off this month).

I stamped some of the circles from Sacred Geometry in paint and others in Colorbox ink.  To stamp with paint I added paint to my palette paper then smeared it using a brayer.  Then I just rolled the brayer over my stamp.  If you use paint with your stamps be sure to clean them real good afterwards.  I stamped all of the stars on the Hanging Stars set then outlines some with a white Signo pen (another must have).  The banner and most of "I Love You" are from the A Banner Day set.  I used A Perfect Alphabet for the "I" and "Love You" from A Banner Day.

I used patterned paper and a fabric brad from the Creative Girl Nesting Components kit.  I cut the circles using a punch and scalloped Spellbinders die.  My sentiment "Goodness gracious" is from Southern Sayings.  I just added "boy!" using the A Perfect Alphabet (another great set to have).

To finish off my layout I added a little journaling and a cute quote from my paper stash.  Super easy layout but I think I was able to captured my son's sweet adventurous spirit.  Well friends that's all for today, thank you so much for joining me and enjoy your weekend.  Hugs to you all!!

Featured Friday- Mixed Media Mini Album

*****To join our February Challenge: Anything Goes, CLICK HERE*****

Hey guys! Katie here today for Feature Friday! Today I wanted to share with you a mixed media mini album I made using pictures from our most recent camping trip. I used the Pines Cling Stamp Set which work so perfectly for camping and outdoorsy photos.

I wanted to use lots of color and texture so there is a lot of mixed media going on. I went over a stencil with matte medium on all of my pages for texture than went over them with Gelatos and Silks acrylic Glaze. I also used some of the Lindy's Mists that came in the Creative Girl Nesting Components kit.

And of course, I did a lot of stamping with the Pines stamps.

Here is a peek at all of my pages:

There have been a lot of inspiring posts here on the blog lately. I hope you'll check some of them out!

Happy Saturday everyone!!  Norma here with you today to share a little scrapbooking inspiration.  Stamps are a great way to make your layouts unique and custom.  I love using my stamps to create interesting backgrounds and patterned papers.

So for this layout I used the Creative Girl kit, the May Nesting Components kit, Vintage Melange stamp set, Milagros stamp set, Follow Your Heart stamp set and the You and Me stamp set.  I started out by piecing together the large heart.  I did this by drawing a heart on a scrap piece of paper,cut it out and then glued strips of the Creative Girl papers on top.

After that, I carefully stamped the border from the Vintage Melange stamp set around the heart.  I curved the stamp to fit all of the rounded edges.  I also added a little doodling, I just couldn't help myself, lol. I pulled out the May Nesting Components kit for the Pink Paislee Paper Goods.  I cut one of the pieces into the shape of a banner and stamped it with the heart included in the Milagros stamp set.

I stamped "love" from the Follow Your Heart stamp set for the backdrop of my photo.  To matte my pic, I used red tissue paper.  The sentiment from the You and Me stamp set is just perfect for my layout.

You can find the crotchet doilies I used in the Creative Girl kit.  The rose and bling flourish are both from my stash.  For more inspiration check out Carrie's Throwback Thursday post.  It's filled with lots of gorgeous projects.  Thanks so much for joining me today and if you haven't check out this month's Anything Goes Challenge, you can do so HERE.  I hope you'll join!!  Have a wonderful weekend!!

Themed Thursday: Coffee and Tea Cards

Hey, it's Katie from Punk Projects! I just got the awesome Play with your Coffee stamp set and the Frothy Concoctions stamp set so for today's Themed Thursday I am featuring Coffee and Tea themed cards.

For my cards I used the coffee stamps, but I also used supplies from the January Nesting Components Kit. I loved the Cosmo Cricket paper pad included in the kit, it worked perfectly for making the card bases. I also used the pretty Lace stamp in from the kit on a couple of these cards. I love how it looks like vintage lace.

First up are my Tea themed cards. To turn the coffee cups into tea cups all you have to do is add a tea bag tag. On one of the cards I just doodled a little tag, but on the other I made a paper tag and attached it with twine so it's 3D.

Here are my 2 Coffee themed cards: I used a coffee cup on one, but for the other I chose to have fun with the frappuccino cup. I stamped the cozy and the straw on patterned paper and added them on for fun texture. I love the different add-ons for that stamp.

Are you more of a coffee lover or tea lover? I, personally, am all about the Tea!

While you're here, be sure to check out some of the other creative projects on the blog like Norma's beautiful Wooden Plaque, Dana's Creative Girl Card, Cathi's Vintage Clip Art Cards, and Erica's Lovely Layout.
