2009 School Pictures

After looking through the different posts on Scrapbook.com, I saw a wonderful layout where a women used her son's hand prints in it. I though that would be a great idea to do for every school picture that is taken, to allow to document them growing up. So here is the start of my school picture/hand print layouts. I used Fancy Pants About a Boy line including the ribbon and rubbons. I also used Martha Stewart punches, and Nestabilities for the journaling area and Papertrey Ink Stamps for the other. Alphas are Making Memories and Thickers, and embellishments are from my stash.

I had seen a lot of talented ladies on Scrapbook.com using the mist in the background of their layouts so I thought I would try it. This was a quick layout using scraps from Cosmo Cricket's Lil' man line and some left over brads and buttons. I also used the crown punch from Martha Stewart, Bazzill chipboard shapes and some new Thickers I just picked up.

Scrapbooking Kit Club.....

Hello Everyone-

Have you ever thought that you wanted to do something with all the wonderful pictures that you have taken? But you do not have the time or the patience to coordinate all the different materials, and pick the right embellishments to go with your pictures? Or are you a scrapbooker currently but want to start branching off into new techniques or do something daring that you might not try at home? Well I have the perfect idea for you.

I am thinking about setting up a scrapbooking monthly kit/gathering, to promote my love for scrapbooking and to get more people into this creative outlet. The kit would include the most up-to-date, papers, embellishments that match so you do not have to do the coordinating. You would receive a kit of goodies, as well as three to four sketches, for inspiration, and a weekly tutorial to add a new technique to your repertoire. As well as the ability to come and share time with friends and the use of my Cricut, cuttlebug, stamps, ink, punches and different tools.

Some of the papers and embellishments that will be featured include

· Fancy Pants

· Bo Bunny

· Webster Pages

· Cosmo Cricket

· Crate Paper

· Basic Grey

· Tim Holtz

· Prima Marketing

· Sassafras Lass

· And many more

Snacks and drinks will be served, and children are more than welcome to come, which will be a wonderful opportunity for them to play together.

The kit/Saturday time will cost $25 a month for a sixth month membership and $30 for a month to month membership. If you are unable to come you will still be receive the kit, sketches and photographs of the tutorial, to complete on your own time. Payment will be expected one month prior to the months date, so that materials can be purchased accordingly.

The kit club will be held on the second Saturday of each month at my house at 10am. Depending on the time that everyone would like.

Please pass this along to anyone that you think would like to join as well. If you have any questions please contact me at 866-1602 or 292-4901

Thanks Krystal

Christmas Pageant Magic

This is our oldest son at his first Christmas pageant, where he goes to daycare. I used the Christmas Magic line from Fancy Pants. I love these papers they are some pretty. I also used my sizzlets to cut out the snowflakes on the bottom right corner and the Martha Stewart loops punch for the border.

My Wish List Starts to Grow

Cosmo Cricket has some really nice new lines but these two are my favorite! Joy Ride and Garden Variety!


These new Sassafras Lass lines are so yummy....I love them....I especially can not wait to use nerdy bird, to scrapbook my oldest son's first year of school!


These new Basic Grey lines are wonderful. Capella is giving me a reason to start my wedding album after 7 years!

I do not know how to describe this new line from Crate paper, except to say....I LOVE IT!!!



From Fancy Pants these are the two lines that I have decided that I must have!!

First Ride

This was my son's first time being able to ride his fourwheeler, and my youngest son's first time on a fourwheeler. He was really excited. I used a sketch from Got Sketch and the papers are from Basic Grey Lime Rickey as well as the letters and chipboard shapes. I also used Prima's E line for the Bling.

NYS Fair

This was a simple layout that I did using a sketch from one of the sketch websites on my blog roll. I forgot which one. It again was done with Basic Grey, Lime Rickey paper and embellishments. I love the simplicity of it yet the number of pictures are great!
