It's Blog Hop Day!!!

 

It's finally here, Blog Hop day!!!  I've been looking forward to this for a month or so now.  I'm loving all the new products in the Fall/Winter catalog, which you can see here.

First, THANK YOU for patiently hopping along.  You've made to to the end! 

Today, I'm featuring products from Fancy Pants Capturing Moments.  I love the colors and images in this theme set.  I started with a basic two-page layout.  I don't worry much about scrapping chronologically and pull out pix that look good with the colors in them.

 As you can see, this is all about dying Easter Eggs.  I loved the colors of the papers with the colors of my granddaughters eggs. 

I used the 6x6" paper pad to for the die cut flowers and scalloped oval.  Otherwise, I let the paper speak to me.

I made good use of the ephemera pack, tags and ticket roll as well.  

When I got together with my crop circle, my friend Kim brought along some vintage Halloween images and ideas for the Halloween Crafternoon for which she was preparing.  I borrowed some of the images and supplies she brought, paired them with my Capturing Moments scraps and came up with this fun rosette.

I made the rosette with 2-2 1/2x12 inch paper strips that I edge-punched, and my Martha Stewart Score Board.  I fussy cut the pumpkin image and pulled out some of the pieces in the ephemera pack and layered them up.  Inked the edges too.  Isn't he cute?

This Boo tag started with a tag made from the 6x6" paper pad and layered with another piece from that pad.  I used a Studio Calico stencil and black soot distress ink for the next layer.  Another fussy cut vintage image and collar from a cupcake liner provided by Kim and ephemera and ticket from the collection.  

Looking over these three projects I realized I could have used holiday themed papers to create them, but rather than limit my creativity to papers only used for specific holidays I can use any papers I fall in love with and use them for any memory--holiday or otherwise.  

Again, thanks for hopping along.  I know you've seen some amazing projects from the TeamWorks girls.  Each is so talented and has a unique style.  I am honored to be a part of the team. 

Don't forget to leave your comment here on my blog for a chance to win a prize from Memory Works.  The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win!  Can't beat that, huh?  You have until midnight CST to leave comments.

memoryworks teamworks 2013 blog hop!

It's time introduce the MemoryWorks support team for 2013!  I am delighted to be included on the team for a second year.  Today we're sharing the projects we submitted as part of our application.  

You should have come from Amanda's blog http://amandasscrapattic.blogspot.com ; isn't she talented?  I am always inspired by her work.  Here is what I submitted:

I used paper scraps and the Tim Holtz snowflake die to create a fridge magnet or a clip to hold a special card or ornament for my altered/decor project.  I also created the snowflake just for fun.

My first layout is very traditional, featuring Simple Stories Fabulous papers.  Close ups below.

My second layout, read to me dede makes use of patterned papers layers to create an interesting background with just enough solid cardstock to make the photos of my granddaughters pop.

This tag can be attached to a card front or gift.  I played with inking techniques and used chipboard pieces and papers from my MemoryWorks Express kit.  

I hope you enjoyed checking out my projects, now hop along and visit Kelly's blog http://kellyrholbrook.blogspot.com/ to see what she submitted.  Enjoy!

Below is the list of blogs. You should have come from Christine's blog where you viewed some great Dear Lizzie projects. Next up is Lynn's blog with My Mind's Eye Be Happy papers.

So let’s get started with the projects I created using Teresa Collins’ Everyday Moments. First, I have to tell you how excited I was to find such a fun navy blue and yellow paper line. I’ve been looking for a couple of years for papers in these colors to use to make some wedding pages for my daughter’s 2010 wedding. Her wedding colors? Navy blue and yellow. The line is fun yet elegant, appropriate for the photos I wanted to scrap with. I found the mason jar chipboard album at Want to Scrap and bought several, as mason jars were featured heavily at the wedding as vases for centerpieces and drinking glasses. Well, you’ll see what I mean as you look through this mini:

The photo in this layout is a bit grainy--iPhone pix are not always the best, but I like how it captured the moment. Not every photo has to be absolutely perfect, work with the photos that tell the story:

When I have a bunch of matching supplies out after creating a layout or project, I love to make cards and ATCs:

I still had a bunch of chipboard pieces, element stickers, brads, and papers left over when I finished. Other than the mason jar chipboard album I supplemented the theme paper kit with some solid cardstock in white, yellow and navy. I used punches and dies, a few buttons and my Sew Right tool and some floss, and some Thickers for my layout title. I love this line so much I actually bought doubles of everything so I could use it for other projects as well. Enjoy! Keep hopping along. Lynn - MME: Be Happy http://frommybungalow.blogspot.com/
