Dance Fever

This is Lucas during his Spring Dance show at daycare. They did a tap dance number...it was really cute.
The papers are the the MyCreativeScrapbook kit for March.

Window Watching

This is a layout of ghost boy and Lucas just sitting on the couch looking outside. The papers and embellishments are by October Afternoon. The punched border is by Martha Stewart Punches and the red letters are Thickers by American Crafts.

Ghost Boy

This is a layout of Ghost Boy, when we first got him, he was about 6 months out and was so small. This is my favorite picture due to the fact that his ears are cockeyed.
This layout was made for the challenges, scrap your pet and the April Sketch Challenge Week 3.
The materials are from My Creative Scrapbook's April Kit. The products include Websters Pages, Prima, and Teresa Collins.

What a Face

This was the first layout that I completed with the Addicting Paper kit for May. I love this new line by Cosmo Cricket, ooh heck I love every line from Cosmo Cricket.
the layout was based on a sketch from Sketch Inspiration and was developed for the Cosmo Cricket Challeng for Scrapbook.com
I did some stitching on the red border and used the Serenade Cartridge for my Cricut Machine to make the Trees.

100% Pure Happiness

This was the layout that I stepped out of my box to complete. I used a lot of distressing ink, and did some paper tearing and paper lacing. I definitely was stressing the entire time I was working on this layout.
The paper is from Jenni Bowlin and came with embellishments and other items in the MY Creative Scrapbook kit from March.
I completed this layout for some different challenges at scrapbook.com. The challenges were, Distressing, and the Border Punch Challenge.
The layout was also based off of a sketch from Sketchy Thursday.
Have a good one! Krystal

Faces Of Owen

This layout was done with March's kit from My Creative Scrapbook, the products that were featured were from Jenni Bowlin Studio. This is the first time that I have ever worked with an array of her products and I have to say I do like them.
I also completed this layout for the negative space April Challenge on Scrapbook.com
If you notice I tried something different with the ribbon on this layout, by fraying the edge of it to give it a different look.
Hope you enjoyed!! Krystal

Caged

I love this picture of our dog and our oldest son Lucas. The two of them use to tand at the gate, when I was cooking every night. They looked so pathetic.
To make this layout I painted on the Sasafrass Lass "Me Likey" paper, then sewed the box around it to give it more dimension. I also used a border on the bottom and the i-top tool to make a brad under that red button. Stickles were used on the stars throughout the paper to draw in a little more color throughout the white and black paper.

Miscellaneous Sassafras Lass Layouts

These are some layouts that I have made over the past month using the Sassafras Lass Lines. Me Likey, Nerdy Birdy, and Bungle Jungle.

PolyShrink Embellishments

PolyShrink is a material that shrinks down into a hard material when heated. This is very similar to Shrinky Dinks from when we are kids. Over the years I have seen people use Polyshrink to make different items, however I have never seen it used on a scrapbook page, so I decided to make this tutorial to show everyone how they can make their own custom embellishments with this material.

The first thing you are going to have to do is to gather the following materials:

• Cutting device (I choose my cricut)
• Heat source, heat gun (you can also use your oven)
• PolyShrink Sheet
• Sanding Block (not in picture)
• Medium for decorating the polyshrink

Second, cut out your object. Remember PolyShrink, shrinks, so make it significantly larger then you want the final product.

Third, sand the PolyShrink. This allows you to be able to color on it.

Fourth, color and draw any lines that need to be on the embellishment.

Fifth, Shrink! It will look very weird while it is shrinking, and sometimes you will think that is ruined but it will flatten out.

Sixth, apply something heavy to it to flatten it out.

This is the difference in the size from the original cut out to what was left after it was shrunk.

And here is the final product, with the decorations.

This is the layout I I made using the frog. The sketch is from Sketch Inspiration, and is #114. I also used Sassafras Lass' collection Me Likey.


Thanks for Looking!!! Krystal

Gimme Some Lovin'

These pictures are of my oldest son lucas when he was 2 weeks old. The pucker puss on the middle pictures made me want to use this title.
The sketch is from Sketch Blook's website and is part of the April Lyric Challenge from Scrapbook.com
The paper flowers were made by using this tutorial, and they were very fun to make, I just used hot glue to keep the paper down, when twisting them. I also followed the same tutorial to make the ribbon flowers.

Birthday Card

This was a simple card I made for Lucas' future wife, Jocelyn. I love using pink when I can, I guess that is what happens when you have two boys. The paper is from My Creative Scrapbook's February Album Kit. It is very cute, and the Happy Birthday is from Papertrey Inc.

My First Mini Album

This is my first mini album that I have ever done. I really enjoyed working on this. It is a gift for my father and step-mother, for their anniversary, even though it is a little late. I used the Maya Road Chipboard album, and the Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook, with the album from the Mini Album kit. the papers and embellishments are from Little Yellow Bicycle as well as my stash. I hope you enjoyed looking. Krystal

Valentine Bags

These are the treat bags Lucas and I made for his daycare class. I believe the coffee bags came from Papertrey Ink, and the stamp is from Stampendous. I used my Copic markers to color in the little pinwheels and Lucas stuffed the bags. It was a very cute idea.

Guest Designer for Creative Scrappers

This is the layout that I put together for my Guest Designer Spot on Creative Scrappers, which is based on the sketch below. I am so excited that I got choose to be a guest designer! And loved helping to celebrate Creative Scrappers Birthday!

I used The MY Creative Scrapbook Kit from March, with all these lovely womanly papers, and enjoyed putting it together. Thanks For looking!!!!
