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.

you are my sunshine

I hope you enjoyed the blog hop yesterday.  It is so fun to check out everyone's work.  The TeamWorks girls are all so talented.

Here is what I have for you today.  I took this photo of my granddaughters one night this past fall.  It is so hard to get them in a photo together with both looking at me and smiling.  Sugar Pie (aka Dinara) just doesn't stay still for long.

I was scrapping with my friend Jacque and she was finishing off a layout that featured a sun burst and when I pulled out this photo and thought about a title it came to me, I needed to try to make my own sun burst as these two girls are my sunshine.  I used Studio Calico papers from Take Note.  These double-sided papers gave me the flexibility to make the burst.  I used Marvy Uchida punches for the circle, scalloped circle and McGill punches for the heart and tag.  I stamped the frogs with a Stamps of Life frog stamp on patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad and cut them out.  The "notes" card is from Lily Bee and the alphas are Sn@p.  I inked almost everything with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and used  red and kraft scraps to mat my photo.  

Go get happy and scrappy,

Jenn
