Mother's Day - post #2 - using Razzleberry Splash Simply Scrappin Kit!

This is for my 2 sister in laws, whom I really love. 

They are great sister in laws.  They keep my brothers both very happy and are great moms. 

I decided to use this SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' kit because first Debbie, (my sister in law) LOVES purple and I thought that this would make a cool cute card!  Anna likes more subtle designs but she got purple too....

 I added a dimensional crystal button to the center of the flowers and it sort of makes it "sparkle!"

Sweet!

2 Sweet TriShutter Album

2 Sweet is a retired Simply Scrappin' Kit but...
I absolutely love it! It is one of the kits that really is great for tweens or teens....the phrases are "totally" cool!

Each of the papers used are from the kit, and I used Andrea Walfords basic design to case my album (yes, I did purchase her tutorial...it is the simplest way to make it, so don't skimp and try to do without, go to her website and buy it or take my class!)
www.andreawalford.com

I don't have all the insides decorated yet....but I might just give this as a gift for some lucky friend!
Really doesn't do much justice not having all the embellishments in the book but it will look great with photos too!

The Colors used are Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, and Old Olive

Flip Album 2 SWEET!

Amy Celona has a cool tutorial on her site, and I love this album! It is a simple album that uses 1/2 Simply Scrappin kit...

The album is called Flip Album and you can make one simply by following the instructions! I used the 2 Sweet SS kit 113943 19.95 page 165.

You will want to make this for a young lady who might be graduating from Middle School or High school so that she can put in her favorite memories. What a treasure this would be!
http://ustamp4fun.com/ProjectGallery/FlipBK/Flip%20Book.pdf

The colors used in the kit are Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Basic Gray, and Kiwi Kiss. The papers are "totally" teen themed, but I think that any woman who has a young frame of mind would just adore this!

Sorry for the pages, the day is really gray outside and I couldn't get a good photo without washing it out with my flash....

All that you see as embellishments are from the SS kit...and they accent the decorative papers just perfectly!


Even the words you see are die cut and adhere anywhere you want to place them!!!

Visit Amy's blog and see her other tutorials! You will love them!

Petal Party Meander Book

This was really fun to make and I think you'll enjoy this one! I used about 1/2 the package (actually less, than 1/2) I still have plenty to make cards or more scrapbook pages. This doesn't have to be a scrapbook. If you used the DEFINE YOUR LIFE set, and did it as an ABC book you can fill the pages and make 2 books to use almost every stamp! The photos were taken from New Year's and my nephews, and cousin's kids...plus the family photo.

If you're interested in taking this class...email me------> http://www.blogger.com/deekwlt@aol.com
and let me know!

I am having trouble with Blogger today, maybe they're doing updates...anyways, I hope this entry shows up ok....have a great weekend! click on the photos to see them if you need a closer view...

Winter Retreat Card Kit

Winter Retreat is a great Simply Scrappin' Kit to use to make cards...you will still have plenty left over to make a great Photo Album as well!. I made 10 cards, and this box with barely 1/2 the kit. I have a lot of the Double Sided paper and cardstock left over to make a couple more cards!

The box is a flap that opens up to show the cards and envelopes inside.

The box closes with the elastic cord which is wrapped around the brad, and is tied to hold the box closed. It loops around the box.

This kit is retiring! This class is set for Sunday Jan 11 at 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Please Reserve your spot! Cost 20.00 (+3.00 if you don't bring your own adhesive)

Emergency Birthday Card Kit

At Regionals, they shared this kit...I am not sure who originally thought it up, but it was such a cute idea! I love giving a box of cards to someone, and I know I am always looking for a card to send out......

Andrea Walford came up with her rendition of the kit, and she formatted it for one of the kits from a previous catalog (it is retired now)...so, I searched and found one from Mary Brown using a current Simply Scrappin' Kit. (BEST EVER!)

This is using BEST EVER Simply Scrappin'. I came up with 12 cards, but actually, you can make even more if you cut them down further! And...this is only using 1/2 of the kit! So, you can make 2 kits from 1 Simply Scrappin kit!

And....If you really want a lot of cards, you can cut your cards to a 3x3 size and get 24 cards!!!

Or, tags, or....???

Today is my Mom's Birthday..and I am giving this to her! I think she'll like it....plus a Michael Buble CD will help alot too...lol!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Carousel Note Purse Cottage Rose

This cute purse was made by my former downline and great customer, Ingrid McClendon. She scoped the purse that I made using the Afternoon Tea paper, and used the papers from the Cottage Rose SS kit.

The soft colors accented by the Chocolate Chip makes a lovely album and cute baby gift or wedding gift.....

Family Treasures - Confetti Birthday Style!

My daughter has a birthday gift that she needed for a friend...who is turning 16. I am going to add the numbers 1 and 6 to this and make it a gift that she can put photos in from the party.... The Confetti SS kit #109610 19.95 pg 174 was perfect for this Album book! I used the left overs from my blog entry for the Birthday Scrapbook in a Box....(and added a few non textured cardstock instead of opening up another package of texture cardstock (or another ss kit..) to make this book. I think that the colors Rose Red, Old Olive, Taken with Teal, are perfect! I didn't use the Sahara sand, since I had used up most of it, for the Scrapbook in a box. The Adhesive die cuts are also from the kit, and although a lot of them were used for the other project, I basically had 1/2 the stickers left to do this project!I think that they lended themselves to complete the project, and the colors are bright and cheery!

The touches that Andrea tells you to use make the book look so nicely put together! Now, my daughter who refuses to scrapbook or stamp or create, wants one of her own..do you think she should maker her own?? lol...I think I might just let her off, and make one for her.....

What a way to use up all the pieces and come out with 2 Great projects!

Family Treasures Album Summer Days

I finished the cover of the album...but I am not going to post the insides yet....I was so excited to get this all together, I did it thursday night after getting home from work...yes I did sleep..since it was almost all together, but I had to finish it, had to get it all completed....and see what I accomplished! ..All I need to do is add photos...and then Voila! it is done.

inside the front cover.....

If you want to see the inside, you will need to email me or post a comment to my blog, and I will post more pictures

....I followed Andrea's tutorial, to the best that I could, but then had to add my own elements from the kit, since there were not all the same "adhesive die-cuts". I love the bright colors, and can't wait now for summer. My daughter even liked it so much that she wants to make her own book for a friend! I didn't want to post more photos because (of respect to Andrea's blog and)... to get her tutorials more advertisement!.....

Don't you want to make one of these now?

Family Treasures Mini Album, Summer Days

Have you ever had one of those "giddy" moments or feelings of excitement where you wish you could forget that you need to do something like "WORK" at a real job, or you could stop time so that you could just keeping working on that project that you're right in the middle of???

Well, today, was one of those days...I was working on a sample of Andrea Walford's Family Treasure Memory book, using a Simply Scrappin' Kit that I had (Summer Days) 110587 19.95 pg 175.

I was still waiting for my Home Again kit...and so, I decided to bite the 'bullet' and open up my package of Summer Days. I buy these kits and never open them, because I love to have them..."just in case", and then regret that I didn't open them....so, I thought, I better get going and make sample so I won't look stupid trying to teach this class....


I love this kit! I love this particular project. My favorite color is red. My favorite season is Summer...so this is the perfect SS kit to use for this....This is still a Work in Progress, because I had to go to WORK...(my real job) but hated to leave this unfinished...I will work on it more during the weekend, but to tease you, I am going to share a couple of photos with you......
I will show more of it later..S T A Y -*-T U N E D !!!!!!!

Another Carousel Purse Sample using Simply Scrappin Kit, Tie the Knot

I Love the colors in this Simply Scrappin Kit, and although not ready for a wedding for anyone close to me (or me), I wanted to try to use this kit in another way...maybe, I can give the adhesive die cuts to someone who wants to use them for cards, or scrapbook pages...(hint?) I used Chocolate Chip, (reg cardstock) and the envelopes from the Carousel kit, to make the base of the purse, and then added the lovely DSP to the front, back and insides. (and yes, that's Stitch's nose peeking into the photo)

I covered the center (the folded area) with the DSP, and then the 2 sides, are actually pages I sewed in (by hand) to the front/and back covers

You can see the pages flapping over (with Stitch's help...see the upper left corner of the photo, his paw is helping to turn the pages...lol)

I am going to put something on this side, (photo or phrase) and then have something tucked inside the envelope pocket.

this is the other side, although you can't see the pocket. The kit contains Certainly Celery, and the Carousel cards has Wild Wasabi, but as you can see, they do go together very well. I was surprised, because I almost wasn't going to use the Carousel notes to top this off! I used chocolate ribbon and the stitch wasabi ribbon to make the handle, and added the Jumbo eyelets to the back to hold it in.

This is a WIP (work-in-progress) so I will be adding more embellishments as it goes!

If you like what you see, please make a comment...and share this site with a friend!

More Cards in a Box - Simply Scrappin

I was inspired by Andrea Walford from Canada, who made a simply scrappin card gift box with cards stamped and ready to go...

I decided to take one of the (only) current Simply Scrappin Kits that I have in my collection, and Stampin Up has,....and make my own! (there are 10 plus 1 hostess level 3 to choose from!)

I used the Cottage Rose Kit (110562 19.95) which has 2 sheets of Texture Sky blue, 2 sheets of Texture Chocolate Chip, 2 sheets of Texture Rose Red, 2 sheets of Texture River Rock as well as 6 Printed Designer Double sided papers, and 6 Adhesive Die cuts. I did add some Chocolate Chip (regular cardstock) to the inside of the box, so that it was more sturdier. I felt that the box needed a more stable base. But, I followed Andrea's Tutorial.....

http://andreawalford.com/?page_id=158







You can see the chocolate chip cardstock inside. This does accomodate all the cards (there are 16 inside, and envelopes too)
The cards are varied, but basically, I used all the cardstock in the kid, and the stamps I used to embellish were:
Wonderful Words :103875 20.95
Stitched Exotics: 111020 33.95
Curvy Verses: 104879 20.95
I also used the Build a brad, but only 1 brad. I had extra resin covers, so I put them on the round adhesive die cuts to embellish them and enhance them.

The ribbons I used were the Stitched River Rock, Sky blue, taffeta ribbon in blue, and chocolate, as well as Grosgrain ribbons (in various shades). I still have extra cardstock and designer papers and adhesive die cuts (3 sheets that are still untouched!). So, I can really make more than 12 more cards, (3x6 cards, or more than 24 3x3 cards!)

After I started Stamping them, I found it began to really come together. At first the cards were dull and not interesting, but this Stitch Exotic set coordinates beautifully with this Simply Scrappin Kit.

Try the tutorial...you'll love the results!
