A Different Take on Christmas
This is a twisted card... I've been seeing them all over the internet, but haven't tried making one myself until now. What do you think?
Here is a video to show you how it's done. Thanks to Kelly Gettelfinger, this is a cinch to make. Try it and show me what you've come up with!

If you are not local, but would like the products to make these cards, please send me an email! Here's the line-up...
There you have them! Thank you to those who's ideas I've CASED. See you all on the 2nd of Nov!

Happy Friday!
Since I got my hands on the Orchard Harvest DSP, I haven't really had eyes for anything else! Not sure what it is about this color combo, but I absolutely love it!
Not sure what it is with this picture, but it looks like my photos are sliding downhill to the right! Not sure how that happened, but I guess you'll get the gist of it, anyway! I just checked, and IRL it doesn't look like this! Huh... anyways...
So these pics were taken last fall of my two youngest boys on a walk around the pond. Think it's one of our favorite things to do, considering there's always something new to see! Again, an easy to assemble layout, but using all SU!
Supplies used:
DSP - Orchard Harvest
CS - early espresso, island indigo
Ribbon - early espresso 1/4" stitched grograin, raspberry ripple 3/8" stitched satin, lucky limeade 3/8" ruffled
Ink - more mustard, old olive, early espresso, cajun craze, raspberry ripple
Stamps - Wonderfall
Accessories - Autumn Accents Bigz die, Timeless Type Alpha Junior Sizzlets (retired)
Now, since this is the first time I've actually posted something 5 days in a row, I'm pretty pleased! Leave me a message and let me know which of the last 5 days posts is your favorite! Anybody else scrapbook with SU supplies? Leave me a link, so I can come take a peek!
Have a great day!

Warm Winter Wishes
So, since I started CASEing out of the new Holiday Catalog, I had to do another one! This card originated on page 18! I love these skates, and using a blender pen to add a little color, just makes them all the more real!
Supplies used:
CS - early espresso, very vanilla
Stamps - Winter Memories
Ink - early espresso, cherry cobbler(berries), soft suede(skates)
Ribbon - cherry cobbler 31/2" scalloped tulle, gumball green 1/4" sweater trim
Accessories - snow flurry bigx die, blender pen
Enjoy your day!

Thanks A Bunch!
I love to CASE (copy and share everything)! There are just so many amazing crafters out there that showcase some pretty cool/fun/Ihave to do that kinda work! And so, I do it, too. In my own way, sometimes, and in other cases, exactly as I see it!
This is one of those cards that instantly said, "CASE me!" You'll find it on page 30 of the SU Holiday Catalog. I changes up a few things, but the look is generally the same.
So, your challenge for today, is to go and do the same! Find something you love and copy it. Item by item, or even just one thing. whatever it is, find inspiration in someone else's work and enjoy the outcome...I did!
Supplies used:
CS - island indigo, old olive, very vanilla
DSP - orchard harvest
Ribbon - early espresso 1/4" stitched grograin
Ink - early espresso, old olive, island indigo (markers)
Stamps - Sanded (retired), Friendship Preserves
Accessories - antique brads, festive paper-piercing pack, piercing mat, paper piercer
Thanks for looking!

Technique Tuesday!
This is a card I made using a new-to-me fold! Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the front panel is flipped over on itself, with the ribbon tied through before adhering it together. I'm not actually sure what this fold is called, but it's an easy one to do! My club girls don't know it yet, but this will be one of the cards we'll be making! I love the masculine feel to it. And that tractor is really a favorite of mine! I've put another photo here to show how the full front looks.
Products used:
Card Stock - certainly celery, island indigo,very vanilla, basic black
DSP - first edition specialty
Ribbon - island indigo3/8" ruffled
Ink - certainly celery, basic black
Markers - real red
Stamps - Harvest Blessings
Accessories - crop-a-dile, blender pen
If you would like to know the measurements for folding, please leave me a message!
Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapbook layout share...
Happy Monday everyone!
Thought I'd post a layout I made using all Stampin' Up! supplies... It's of my youngest son, Luke, pictures taken last fall. The papers used here are from the Orchard Harvest DSP line. I used the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die, the Wonderfall Stamp set and coordinating Autumn Accents Bigz Die, and a few Naturals designer Buttons. A really fast, easy page to put together...love that!

Hey all! This is a page I created with my monthly kit from Anita at Scrapbooks Made Simple, our local Grande Prairie scrapbooking store. I love this photo of Luke, my youngest, playing with the foxtail that grows everywhere here. Thanks for peeking in today!

Just for you...
Washi tape seems to be all the rage, and I wanted to create my own version of it, Stampin' Up! style. This is what I came up with... just for you! This card uses all 5 of the new In Color ink along with 5 different stamp sets (6 actually, if you include the saying!) and the new Dahlias, which are just so cute! And twine, which I'm beginning to think most of my projects aren't complete without it! The light wasn't so great for picture taking, but there you have it! Thanks for looking!

Nearly A Month...
...since I've posted anything! Yikes! Well, summer is always a little crazy here, with the campground running full tilt and people always needing something! Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that yes, I am planning on doing a card class, which will include 5 different cards (masculine, thinking of you, flowers, antique, and fall). I will post details of the cards at another time, since i don't have pics at the moment! But you"ll be disappointed if I don't show you SOMETHING, right? Ok, I'll leave you with this... its a card I saw on Connie Babbert's bog, InkspiredTreasures.com. I think it's incredibly cute, and so very appropriate for the start of another school year. Thanks for the inspiration, Connie!

Scrapbook pages from April's crop
 | |||
| Blown In |
 | ||
| Snow Much Fun |
 |
| Luke 's Flowers |
I got to attend an evening at my friend Alanna's crop way back in the spring. Which was a great time! Then, not long after I took pictures of the layouts I finished (without uploading them, of course) my camera disappeared. My youngest munchkin was taking pictures and conveniently "disappeared it". My oldest, on his birthday, no less, made it appear again. Magic DOES happen in this house! So now I've added a few photos to my computer's memory in hopes of not losing them again!
So. Here are the three layouts I finished that spring evening! "Blown In" tells a bit of the story of how we were snowed in for 4 days, yes 4! A good friend helped get us "un-snowed", but within 1.5 hours, we were blown in again! What a crazy time!
"Snow Much Fun" is all about exactly that...fun behind Dad's quad...especially on a snow-rider! Of course, just because there's one boy riding, doesn't mean there shouldn't be 3 more on the quad with Dad. Right? Of course! Can't do anything around this place without at least 3 spectators!
Luke's flowers...one of my favorite photos of my youngest munchkin. I had been given flowers for my birthday and he needed to smell them. Love the way he used to smell things...big breath in (through the mouth), then a big blow out the nose! Awfully cute!
Have a great day!

New Ink Pads!
Good Day All!
Thought you might like an update on our new ink pads. The new firm foam is great. I can say that with experience backing me up! I've bought and used a few colors now, and I have to say that I do like them! There's no need to switch all your ink pads over to the new kind. Just remember when you order a new color, it will come in the new firm foam design. If you're getting re-inkers, they're still fine to use on the old pads, but you won't want to use the old re-inkers on the new pads. Check out what SU has to say about them below...
Firm Foam Stampin' Pads
With the introduction of the 2012-2013 annual catalogue, we have made a very big change to our Stampin' Pads.
Introducing firm foam pads! They change your stamping experience for the better.
We know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads--just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:
- Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
- Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
- Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
- Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
- Come with colour name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
- Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
- Are available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colors!
Please note: Five ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are
- Basic Black
- Basic Gray
- Marina Mist
- Perfect Plum
- Tempting Turquoise

Happy Monday Everyone!
So... today's post has nothing to do with scrapbooking...obviously! I found this pic on pinterest and immediately fell in love! Just imagine all the great smells and family/friends in this kitchen! Love it!

Is it scrap day?
I got thinking that really I don't post enough on here! If this was a personal blog, I could tell you all sorts of things, since my 4 boys don't tend to stop doing and changing and being typical boys. But since this is s'posed to be a crafty sort of blog, and I don't get to craft every day or sometimes not even every week, I don't always have a lot to share. Buuuut, I got thinking that really it wouldn't hurt me to try to blog once a week! Right? Right. Well. OK so maybe I'll try it. See what kind of crafty thing I can share...
This was a layout I made a few weeks ago, actually, with strictly Stampin' Up! product. Whisper white Cardstock, Attic Boutique DSP, Attic Boutique Side Notes, Serif Essentials Alphabet Die, and Early Espresso ink. Just a simple layout. I like that kind! Only took a few minutes to make, but I did get in a few crafty minutes that week! Anyone have a simple sketch to share with me?

Another Layout...
Hey All!
The odd time I do get to scrapbook, I don't generally take pictures! This LO was for the Design Team at Scrapbooks Made Simple last month.
Very quiet colors, which I don't tend to gravitate towards! Was good for me to really have to think outside my box! I used Tim Holtz crackle paint on both the strips above and below the photos. Also on the chipboard embellishment on the bottom corner. There's no title or journaling on this yet, but for those of you who worry about those things, a LO is never complete for me until they've been added!
Make it a great day!

About time?...
... I posted again? I'm back with a few things actually! First up is the projects we made at our Feb SU Club. I had been asked what to do with ribbon scraps...so we made a 12x12 page which uses up quite a few 2" pieces. Then a card using itty bitty pieces and chipboard. A great way to use up both bits of leftovers!
Next up is some more pages I finished in Jan for the load challenge.
So that's enough for me today! Let me know which is your favorite! And have a GREAT day!
