Maddy turned 3…

Maddy turned 3 this past month…would some  one plz tell her to quit growing up!!!  Well for her birthday, Grammie (that’s me) got to do her cupcakes, which turned out to be a cake and cupcakes, since she wanted Dora!!!  I also made her birthday pressie this year, it was a Cinderella Dress Up Dress, complete with tiara, and gloves…(glass shoe, ie jellies to come!!!) but at her party I of course had my camera and got this adorable pic of her telling me she was this many!!!  I just love the pic so much it was one of my favs from the day!!!  I used Amy Stoffel’s “I’m this Many” kit and put some touches on it from “Cake & Ice Cream” and “Clear as Glass” alpha by Tracie Stroud.  Such wonderful designs to work with!!!  Oh be on the look out…you will be seeing this kit again in the month of September…come back here to my blog Sept 1 and see what I mean :D

Speed Scrap at Scrap Orchard

Well today I hosted a Speed Scrap at Scrap Orchard.  A Speed Scrap is where the hostess gives an instruction every 10 minutes over an hour of how to scrap a LO.  You build a LO with your take on those instructions.  Once the last instruction is given, you have one hour to complete your LO and post to the Speed Scrap gallery.  They are alot of fun!!!

 

Here were my instructions steps:

 

1.  Pick two papers...blend them
2.  Use one plain frame, don't forget your picture
3.  Make an element cluster in one corner of your frame
4.  Use two mats, (these can be cut from paper, premade from a kit or a mask...anything you want to be two mats)
5.  Use two alpha's too do your title (or an alpha and a font)
6.  Journal at least name, date and place...defineately more if you want :D
7.  Add any additional touches you would like
The sky is the limit!!!  Have fun!!!

 

You can use any kit you want, I decided to use Tracie Stroud and Lyndsay Riches kit “Rejuvenate” and Tracie Stroud’s “Blend Your Cares Away” and “It’s a Date Vol 2”, oh yes and her alpha “.

                  It’s a Date Vol 2                                           Blend Your Cares Away

 

Clear as Glass Alpha

So my take on my instructions is a LO I did was of a picture I took of Marc on our way back down from the Carbon River Glacier back in 2006…what a hike…this is a point where we just needed to stop and catch our breath…or should I say I needed to stop…Marc was kicked back taking in all the beauty of the area!!!

Catching up on some old scrapping!!!

When I w as Tracie Stroud’s awesome kit “Coastal Holiday” I thought of our many many beach pictures we take.  Then I started going through some of our older pics on our trip to KeyWest, FL and this LO just fell together, of course Tracie’s awesome kit helped that alot!!! 

I actually used three of her products for this LO:

 

Coastal Holiday

           

 

             Blend Your Cares Away                                       It’s a Date Vol II

all by Tracie Stroud

Here is my LO…for the blended pic I used Tracie’s Blend Your Cares Away applied to the pic then I duplicated it and then masked off more of the edges, applied a blend mode to the bottom layer and another blend mode to the upper layer, I really like the effect it gave :D

this is a pic of Marc and me, we grabbed a bike taxi to go view the sunset in Key West, and did I feel bad for the taxi guy, but he offered to take our pic :D

A New LO for Maddy’s ABC Book

I did another LO for Maddy’s ABC Book.  These are some pics I took at her 3rd Birthday.  Gosh I can’t believe she is already 3!!!  This is her “H” Page for “Huggable You”!!!  I used Tracie Stroud’s cute “Cake & Ice Cream” kit, and teamed it up with her “Building Blocks” Templates…with the Custer frames from her full kit, this page just put itself together!!! WOOOHOO…love those kinds of pages!!!

RAK for Lainie at Scrap Orchard

Well, Scrap Orchard has a challenge called the “RAK Challenge” and you take a pic to scrap for someone and leave one for someone to scrap for you. Well I got Lainie and she left this adorable pic of her niece, is she just not the cutest!!!

So then I had to come up with a LO to showcase this little cutie. It took me awhile cause I kept redoing the title, still not sure I am totally happy with it…but here is what I came up with, I sure hope she likes it!!!

Tremble for my Beloved

Well, this is the 3rd LO for the Collective Soul Lyrics Album I am doing.  And why you ask did I need to do a different post for this one…Well, I wanted to explain it a bit. 

 

This song was featured in the Movie “Twilight” and is on the soundtrack for the movie.  I don’t like Vampires, I am actually terrified of them, to make a long story short, I slept at the bottom of my parents bed when I was 18 YO after watching Dracula, and to this day I pretty much am the same.  Yep, logically I know Vampires are mythical, but have you seen a Vampire and lived to tell about it???

 

A very nice “Team Edward” lady from the net “Lita” helped me find a pic to use to do this LO for my lyrics book and a Designer, “Amy Stoffel” from Scrap Orchard has put a very nice “Prize” on the table if I read the series, when she found out that I wouldn’t read them.  (Mind you I wouldn’t read them even though they are set in Forks, WA, not far from Kaloch where we camp from time to time, or when I found out Collective Soul had a song featured) but a Amy Stoffel design yep I am gonna read the series, then she said she might up the ante and that “Prize” is sooo nice that I am in the process of reading the series, I am on book 3, and the only reason I am not done with book 3 in less than a week is because Marc is working graveyards, and I won’t read them when he isn’t here…LOL!!!   Hopefully I will have them finished this weekend!!!  It really is a good series, my only problem is the Vampires in it!!!  and the book hasn’t squashed those jeebies!!! 

 

Hopefully you still want to see my LO…LOL!!!
