Back up and running - YAY!!!

I'm having so much fun with my Mommies Group! www.momsclub.org
Each month I host a Scrapbooking Group with a theme and also a Christmas Card Club.
The girls come over with the kiddos and we create. I love my new crafty friends!

Angela and Christina G. making Lollipop Flowers for The July Scrapbooking Group.
Theme : Orange and Buttons

Here are Christina D., Andrea, Christina G., Kate and Tina at CCC in August. FUN!!

Here's my Scrapooking Layout for August. Theme: Stars and Stripes

Here's my Scrapbook Layout for September. Theme: Yellow

Here are our cards for CCC in July. I cut 'joy' out from the Cricut in patterned paper.

Gave each of the girls strips of coordinating green/red patterned paper and had them create the background. A red snowflake is an option for the 'o'. Then, we made a classic Christmas card using the Holy Triptych Stamp set. Embossed rejoice in silver and punched the edges. simple and beautiful!

Here are our cards from CCC in August. I took it up a notch from last months cards. I'm loving Stampin' Up's new Rich Razzleberry color and have used it on both of the cards for this month. I made a Gift Card Holder Card - Matchbook Style. LOVE IT! Then, I used a masking technique for the ornament card with the Tree Trimmings Stamp Set. I hope you think it's as gorgeous as I do! Write a comment if you need more instruction or info on how to make these cards.

MOMS Club Scrapbook Group

So, I'm the Scrapbooking Chairmom for my MOMS Club and I'm super excited because this is the first month that I'm hosting. The theme is Orange and Buttons. The ladies and kiddos are coming over on Thursday and I wanted to have my page done just in case someone else needed assistance on their page. Anyway, I had a great time using this theme and I created a super cute page for Savannah's book. I made lollipop flowers with a button in the middle of each and created a little garden at the bottom of the page symbolizing our girl growing like a flower. She's walking now so I got a few pics of her pitter pattering and titled the page you guessed it - pitter patter. Too Cute! Hope you take a little inspiration from my page. Smooches! Amy

Wish Entry for Mind Wide Open Blog

Love this months pic, the inspiration word is "wish". How do you grant a wish? By waving your beautiful magic wand, of course!

I cut an extra large wand from pink paper then, stamped fleur de lis's all over with Vanilla Ink, embossed with metallic powder. I painted here and there the star and image with pink paint (the same pink I painted the wand handle with) I added copper glitter around the egdes. I added a pretty gold star wand, polka dotted butterflies, crinkled crepe paper edging and the word wish. Tied the wand with pretty ribbons and pearls. Et Voila!

Scrapbook Pages ...

For some strange reason I had none of my scrapbook pages posted to my blog - What's up with that? Anyway, more to come soon... Enjoy!

Scrapbook Pages ...

Baby girl at 5 months - This pic is a little blurry.

At 6 months and 7 months.

Close up on the texture.

This was such a fun page to create. I love the combination of Orange and Purple. I cut out 3 inch squares, roughed the edges and layered them. Love the glittered butterfly too!

Scrapbooking me and my hubby ...

I was having so much fun adding pages to Savvy's scrapbook that my book felt a little neglected so, I found this great pic of me and my sweetie and made a page for our book. This is one of my fav pics of us. It was taken at a friends wedding that was outside in a beautiful vineyard. What a beautifully captured us.

Scrapbooking me and my BFF...

I had so much fun creating this page. All I knew was that it was going to be glittery and vibrant just like us! I added chunky glitter here and there all over the page and also added tattered velvet to frame the text. So Sassy!

Scrapbooking the newborn ...

Having Savannah was such an amazing experience! I started some simple pages just before she was born so I could just glue pics on. They ended up being really simple looking back at them now. I was just so excited to get something in her scrapbook photos or not.

Scrapbooking the belly ...

Fun Card Challenge

On Paper Therapy there is a challenge posted to design a card with layered cardstock and paper but, your stamped images can't be on cardstock or paper. Very Interesting! I took a clear pocket from my scrapbook and cut it to size and stamped on it with Brown Staz-On. Then layered cardstock (spiral punched) underneath it. My newest craft addiction is lollipop flowers so, I made a few and attached them on top of the clear film. I attached some ribbon through the spiral holes and tied a little bow. Et Voila!

Stamp Group - March Projects

Stamp Group - Kathy is really working the Big Shot - She's come up with such cute projects for us. Check em out!


These little bees are too cute for words. we added a little glitter to their wings - Adorable!

This little chick is just precious and I love the the egg is patterned with paper.

Love this box. I think I may fill it with some candy and put it in an Easter basket this year.

Stamp Camp Projects ...

We had Stamp Camp recently and as always had so much fun! These are some talented ladies coming up with these projects!

A fun goody box made out of coasters.

Covered with fabulous papers.

Adorable! I'm not sure if I want to give it away -It's so pretty!

I won a door prize - YAY! Fabulous corduroy buttons and big brads. Twitterpated! I can't wait to get crafty with them.

Stamp Camp Continued ...

Our Treat box - It was filled with Jordan Almonds but, you know those don't last long.

Love these new textured papers that they have. We died the flower with a re-inker. Fun and a little messy. That's the best kind of craftin'!

Super cute 3-D butterfly. We decided that if you glue your wings on a little crooked that you can add another piece in the middle and make a flower. either way they are cute! We punched the 'wings' out with a heart punch then folded and layered.

Kathy is really using her BIG Shot for lots of fun stuff. These are cards that hold gift cards inside.

With glitter of course!
