Counterfiet Kit

I am way late on the Counterfit Kit for this month. Then again since I normally don't do them (I just look at the website and Ooooo and Awwww over it all) I suppose that since I actually got one together is an accomplishment in itself! I really was going to try to stick with the kit, but I ended up just pulling and pulling more stuff from my stash and this is what I came up with:

 Here is the first LO I did with it. I am really mad that I can't flip it :-( Grrrrr....it is such a cool LO! This was actually for a challenge at Scrapfit. I was suppose to drop paint to make a shape or something. I tried to make flowers out of it...

 A close up of one of my flower clusters. I ended up tearing up and sizing down a piece of cardboard. I then sanded it a little and painted it white. I thought it would be a quick process....it wasn't....it took 2.5 hours...sigh.....but I really like the results :-)

Last but not least, the last LO I did this weekend with my kit. I really am digging on it!

I gotta confess that I have really missed doing my own thing in regards to scrap booking. I have been living on sketches, patterns, and CTMH that I think I forgot how I scrapbook. The two layouts I did over the weekend are a reflection of my style. It was nice to have so inspiration to spark off my creativity. I can't believe I am saying this, but I may let CTMH go after I am done with this season's hostess club. I would like to try to live out of my stash for awhile and save some money.

Thanks for stopping in!

Stella Cards

And here is the last of the Stella line :-( I made these adorable cards and matching envelopes!

I don't even consider myself a card maker, but with the help of CTMH sketches and some online inspiration I am starting to enjoy making them. Thanks for looking!

Two Page Stellar LayOuts

Yes yes yes this is still the Stella line. I actually purchased the line for these photos. They are of my daughter handling at her very first dog show.

Thanks for stopping by and looking :-) I am going to post some really adorable cards I made with this line as well on Thursday. Make sure you come back to check them out!

Stellar Champion LO

I am totally playing up this "Stella" line by CTMH. This is actually the last LO I did in which I used up my scraps and some of my stash. I was actually burnt out on sketches and challenges so I came up with this all on my own. The bling, thickers, and black cardstock are from my stash.

 Why the title "Champion"? This was the day that she earned it :-)

Thanks for checking out my LO and my champion :-)

Really Stellar for *Stella*

The Stella line from CTMH is simply awesome! I was able to make two 2 page LOs, two 1 page LOs, and 7 cards from it. I have nothing left! Anyways, this is one of the LO's I made with it for a challenge:

I just realized that when I took the picture my liquid glass was still wet under my small heart. Ooopppps. Anyways, it is just a LO of myself and my nine month old Golden. She had just won her championship and I was trying to get a picture of her pretty head, but she wanted to kiss me more.

Thanks for stopping by!

Resolution Mini Album

Did you actually think I was gonna post an album about New Year's Resolutions? Well.....yes and no. As some of you know my family and I own a kennel and we breed Golden Retrievers. I always do an album of each litter. Our last litter left yesterday to their new homes. They were born around the first of the year, thus naming them the "Resolution Litter". There were 7 puppies in the litter and.....get this.....they were all boys!

See, those tags? Well, I made a huge error. See this album was suppose to hold room for 6 puppies and we had 7. I had to add two pages to make it all work. I simply made two pockets out of the coordinating paper and then took the extra pictures of the litter and made tags out of them on my Cricut.

 Here are the pages of the book. Each page has a picture of the puppy and a picture of the puppy with their owner. I also included the names of each little monster (and I say that with the utmost love in my voice because the were the sweetest little monsters ever!).

 Sorry about the flash on this one:

 Here is the back side of the album and a few of the tags.

You know you looked at this post and said "AWWWWWWWWW" the whole time.....admit it.....these puppies melted your heart. I know they did mine :-)

Super Hero Cards

I decided to complete some challenges today...both card challenges (which I find challenging enough!) and here they are:

The first is from this site:
http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/

and here is the sketch from that site:

 So, I took that pretty girly sketch and turned it into this:

 Of course I had to make an envelope:

 This is another sketch made with the same line (Close to My Heart "Superhero") and it is from this site:

Here is the sketch:

And this is what I came up with:

 Of course I have a matching envie:

I am pleased with them and have a few ideas who I am mailing them off to. I have had a lot of fun with this line. Thanks for stopping by:-)
