Pokemon Birthday

This Wedneday is my son Robbie's 8th birthday.  I can't believe he will be 8 years old.  I was just looking at his 1st year scrapbook the other day and still remember bringing him home like it was yesterday. 

For those of you who know me personally, you know I hate to use commerical themes for my kids' birthday parties. I like to make my own invites, decorations, etc.  However, Robbie is getting to the age where he has more say in what he has for his birthday and there really isn't a heck of a lot mom can do about it.  LOL.  This year he wanted  a Pokemon party.  I know NOTHING about Pokemon and really have no desire to learn.  However, this is what he wants and this is what he will get.  I was not happy about having to purchase invites.  Again, I hate the commerical themes.  Anywho, one night I was on Splitcoast and thought why not do a search for Pokemon.  Who knows what I may find.  Well, much to my surprise, there was a card made out of the Big Shot Top Note die and some punches that looked just like Pikachi (no idea if I am spelling this right).  I was sooo excited!!!  I showed the prince himself and the invites met his approval.  LOL.   Here is a picture of the invite I CASED.

Not my most favorite invite I have done, but it will do.  The birthday boy loved it, so that is all that matters :)

Have a great Monday!

 

One more Fall layout

As I mentioned yesterday, we did two fall related layouts in this month's scrapper's club.  I shared with you the Turkey Day layout and now I want to share with you the fall layout we did.

It is amazing what you can do with punches!  The idea for the scarecrow and the corn were brought to my attention by a couple of customers.  There is a great demonstrator out there (whose name escapes me) that does wonderful punch art. The minute I saw this, I knew I would CASE it.  The crow was again an add on provided by Meghan.  She comes up with such such ideas! 

So there you go- two fall layouts in one weekend.  I am sure I will have a couple more to share with you as I scrap my own personal album.  However, you may not see those until January ;)

Have a great Sunday!

 
 

Scrappin Saturday

Hi everyone!

Now for those of you who scrapbook, I am sure the cameras were out this past Thursday as we all dug into our turkey dinners :)  To help you preserve these memories, I am posting a Turkey Day layout for you.  This was one of the layouts we did in my scrapper's club this month.  We did a turkey day and a regular fall layout.  I have had quite  a few new members join over the last month and looking forward to watching them create all the great layouts we do each and every month :)

 Notice I did not put a title on this layout. I wanted to leave it blank and let the girls decide what they wanted to use it for.  The leaves were cut from my Big Shot and embossed with the Glassy Enamel Embossing Powder.  Love that stuff! My turkey was made with punches.  Originally he did not have little wings, but one of my talented customers (and I have quite a few talented ladies), Meghan added them to her turkey and I just HAD to copy :) 

Hope you all are having a great long weekend.  I will chat with you tomorrow.

Christmas Treat Bags

It has arrived!  The craziness has started!!  Hopefully over the course of the next couple of weeks, I will be sending you some ideas to help make the holidays a little less hectic.  Today's projects is an adorable treat bag you can purchase from the catalog.  A package of 5 is $3.95.  These boxes are very easy to decorate.  Add some ribbon and a tag and you are all set.  I used a stamped sentiment on this one.  Take a look..

 
  For those of you who hate gift wrap, perfect solution ;)

Have a good one.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone!

Happy Turkey Day :)  Today's project is a 6x6 recipe card that we made at my open house a couple of weeks ago.  This will be transferred to a 12 x 12 scrapbook page and documented as  my favorite dish to make on Thanksgiving Day.  Take a peek...

Recipe

Paper- Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Ruby Red and Autumn Traditions DSP

I hope you and your family has a wonderful holiday!

Home decor for the holidays

This upcoming weekend is the start of  all the Christmas craziness in my house.  We typically start decorating for the holiday and the Christmas music is playing.  This year, SU has a TON of holiday decor ideas.  I can't wait to use some of these ideas in my home.  The first one I want to share is the Ho Ho Ho banner you can find in the holiday mini catalog.  Love how this is hung by using the mini library clips and the how some holly was added using  a Big Shot die.  This can be used as garland or ornaments.  This is silver glittered chiboard that you can embellish with ribbon and more.  This comes with 3 sheets.  It makes 1 big or 2 small Ho, Ho, Ho 12 x 12.  The cost of this adorable banner is $12.95.

 

The second item is a decor element.  This particular one was put on a frame and hung up.  Quick, easy and an inexpensive way to decorate for the holidays.

Looking for some additional ideas?  Drop me a line.  I would love to help you make your house a warm, cheerful place this holiday season.

Have a great day!

Rudolph- Big Shot Style

Happy Monday everyone!  Since it is a short week, Monday doesn't seem so bad :)  Today's project share is a little friend of mine and yours :)  Rudolph was made using the Big Shot and various punches. 

Isn't he sweet?  Join me on December 10th when we make this and some other adorable characters.

 

Big Shot Snowman

I was scrolling through my convention pictures looking for Christmas samples, when I came across this snowman card.  It was made using the Big Shot.

The snowman's head and body were made using the scallop #2 die.  The snowflake is a big die for the BIg SHot.  The hat was made using the square punches.  Another cute and simple card.

Have a great Friday!
