I picked this one up when one of my favorite stores was going out of business. I love that I did not have to do anything but trim my pics down and adhere them. I especially love that I captured such a special moment with Miss H and her Papa!</span><br />

I did however get in a good bit of relaxing, chatting, and just <i>being</i> with my girls. The four layouts I did actually came together pretty easy once I finally got to work. Especially easy was the kit from Scrapbook Generation (ya know, one of the many kits that I won from Sketch Support!) My camera did not want to cooperate, so these pics do not do justice at all, but if you click on the image it enlarges so you can see more of the detail.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A quickie layout that kinda has a funny story, let' see if I remember it correctly... <a href="http://www.sweetiebirds.com/">Jodi</a> did that tree out of ribbon and I though it was so cute and I scraplifted it from her, then she liked my sketch and scraplifted that from me (even though I copied from a sketch somewhere, lol.) Just goes to show that you never really know if your "idea" was really yours or just a distant memory of something you saw once upon a time! :o) </div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">This layout has been in the works for awhile, mostly becuase I need Granny's help. I made the layout back in February! but wanted to add the koi and water lily and <i>just knew</i> that Granny could do a much better job than me or anything on my cricut. Boy was that right! She hand cut the koi based off a clipart I saw online and lord only knows how she made those flowers. She has been making tons of flowers lately, so she may have the info on her <a href="http://www.scrapbookingforothers.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. </div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">This was another layout that got passed around and scraplifted :o) I actually made that deer using my Cricut (can't remember last time poor little Pinky got used!) and just inked the hooves and antlers darker instead or double-cutting (a little lazy, but it worked). The title was a gift from Jodi... she brought all of us a complete set of chipboard letters that she cut with her new Accucut Apricot font! Soooo want more of those, or better yet would love to just buy my own Accucut but I will just keep dreaming ;o)</div></div></div><div style="font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"></div></b></div>ScrapyTiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17584813109805535345noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659475921319880026.post-62032940119117815382011-02-28T11:20:00.004-05:002011-03-01T17:00:06.887-05:00Sketch Support Blog Hop Winner!<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Can't believe I won the Ultimate Kit Club Sampler during the Sketch Support Blog Hop!

Hawaii is actually the only thing that I have scrapped so far from 2010! I need to get moving and quick! In an effort to squeeze in a few more photos, I did another one of my pull out tricks behind the 5x7... I will just slit the page protector and you can pull the ribbons to see four more photos! I made a number of "variations" on this layout, here are a few. First I used a 5x7 in place of the two vertical photos on the left, second I changed the placement of the wallet size photos on the right, and third I let the floral pattern act as my accent paper on the far left (since it was so pretty) and last I journaled right on the background. I used that same background pp on the second page, just turning it 180 degrees so the floral patterns are on the outer sides of the layout. I still "see" the sketch, but I really made it my own and made it work for <i>my</i> photos. Here is a close-up of where the extra photos pull-out...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Woohoo, a two day crop!<br />
<br />
Also, I am scouting out a location for a monthly Friday night crop that will not be the same weekend as SPUMC, and wonder how many others would like to join me? I have heard that the public library will allow use of their room but haven't gotten any details yet... who's interested?<br />
<br />
Oh, and I am totally putting it in my calendar now for next year's ScrapFest at Archivers in Atlanta! I have missed it the past couple of years, but I am putting in on my calendar now September 16-18, 2011. Yeah, I know that is a bit far down the road, but I loooove that store and have decided I need to make more trips there to crop since it really isn't that far away ;o) I have a tiny prius but would love some travel buddies... who's with me? :o)ScrapyTiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17584813109805535345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659475921319880026.post-41056097334148121622010-10-19T14:14:00.001-04:002010-10-19T14:31:30.956-04:00A Couple of Quickies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/TL3eOt_bK8I/AAAAAAAAEU4/WDLEHUTQqo4/s1600/ClassPic1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/TL3eOt_bK8I/AAAAAAAAEU4/WDLEHUTQqo4/s400/ClassPic1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This layout was one that Granny started and I kinda stole it off her scrap table last time I was visiting ;o) Thanks Granny! I love how she cut out the little "chalk" drawing that was printed on the paper. I added the strip of argyle paper to widen the die-cut sheet so it would be wide enough for the 8x10 class pic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/TL3ePoayHLI/AAAAAAAAEU8/OW5FhGwM9l8/s1600/ClassPic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/TL3ePoayHLI/AAAAAAAAEU8/OW5FhGwM9l8/s400/ClassPic2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I decided to leave all the names and school info on the pic and journal about her teacher, my volunteer time, and who her best friends were. Hopefully she will stay connected with these friends, but we all know that sometimes life happens and twenty years from now, it will be nice to remember all those names.<br />

In my last post I commented on Miss H's rolls. I recently came across these pics (I actually forgot about this sitting until I came across these prints) and you can definitely see those adorable baby chub rolls here around her wrists and ankles, so cute and cuddly! Ohhh and the one around her neck, I am melting :o)<br />

I have about 7 layouts that I did since last posting and have been waiting to put them in albums until I photographed them... finally did that today so I am just posting them all, not a lot of details. But, if you have a question please just leave me a comment and I will be happy to share a technique, manufacturer, or supply inquiry.<br />
<br />
By the way, all of my layouts are two-page layouts and generally have some flow across the page. So, if you go to the link --> over there to see my gallery, you can see the pages next to each other and they make a little more sense :o) Enjoy!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a layout from Summer 2009 that I did during my girls weekend but had been waiting on the enlargement. My little girls first official ballet class... not her cup of tea!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">When we first moved to Tally, Miss H took TaeKwonDo lessons for a little while. She was so funny to watch and was actually pretty good at it... unlike ballet ;o) I would like to see her eventually pick an activity and stick with it, but I figure she is young and should experience a variety... she def has tried a number of things in the last year or so!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, we had sooo much fun at our Girl Scouts Skate Night! Mommy stayed off the skates though, one wobbly woman was enough for daddy to steady! I am quite proud of those die-cut skates... I actually did those all by myself, free-hand, no diagram, and no outside inspiration! They even have real tied-up laces and big brads to look like wheel-bearings! Pretty cool, huh?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Can I just tell you... I am so excited about this little guy! I actually made him all by myself :o) No help from Mommy (of course, she was really sick otherwise I am sure she would have been happy to help). I used the Cricut Gypsy to tweak one of the monkeys and manipulated a couple different layers to get the different colors. He turned out so cute, and exactly the size and proportion I needed. Ok, so maybe I do love my Gypsy sometimes... I definitely wouldn't love my Cricut without my Gypsy that's for sure!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Life took over and I never got around to posting the rest of the layouts, so here goes! This layout was from our visit to the Dole Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii. We learned alot and tasted some very juicy pineapples, hence the title! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of my favorite layouts of the week, I actually started this one before but wasn't able to put the finishing touches on until I got to Granny's and could take advantage of all her different fonts! :o) I think my favorite part of this layout was the way I could use just <i>one</i> of the lined die-cut papers by cutting off one side and spreading it apart with the other patterns between... kinda looks like one really wide sheet of lined paper, don't ya think?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>My friend Jodi scrap-lifted this layout and was able to use just my scraps and one piece of her own die-cut paper, pretty cool. I started this layout so long ago I can't remember whether I lifted it from somewhere or came up with it on my own, lol! How's that for bad memory?! I do know that this is one of my kits from Kraft Girl Kits that I am hoarding because have closed up shop :o( I loved this kit so much that when I found out they were closing, I ordered an extra! This ribbon is from an old CTMH set and the buttons are just from my stash. The title is Quickutz Holiday, CK Handprint, and Yogurt.ScrapyTiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17584813109805535345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659475921319880026.post-39930731754941757582010-04-30T10:17:00.000-04:002010-04-30T10:17:10.238-04:00Girl's Escape 2009<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S9rlIlojruI/AAAAAAAAEKk/9jhf-E0vzL0/s1600/escape1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S9rlIlojruI/AAAAAAAAEKk/9jhf-E0vzL0/s400/escape1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">During my trip last week, I decided I had to scrap last year's trip before I came home with hundreds more photos from this year's trip! All of the 4x6 photos flip open and my journaling is hidden under there too. We went to the same restaurant and had the same meal as last year... except this year was NOT a good experience! Nevertheless, we had a great time and the view was awesome of course... how could we complain sitting on the dock watching the sunset?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am back from my annual amazing Girls Getaway... somehow we talked our hubbies into 6 days this year and they all did a great job of holding down the forts while we were away! I am photographing and processing the layouts as quick as I can, but I think I have a cold coming on so I am taking it easy. I will share one of my layouts now and hopefully get the rest up as the week goes on. Our layout count this year was 39 completed layouts (a mix of single and doubles) and granny did 18 base layouts (just missing the photos)! Most of the 39 were done by <a href="http://www.sweetiebirds.com/">Jodi</a> who managed to crank out 14 two-page layouts and 9 single pagers!!! Wow!<br />

</div><div>I have to say a huge Thank You to <a href="http://www.scrapbookingforothers.blogspot.com/">Granny</a> and Papa for hosting (that's my Mom & Dad). They had the house all staged for cropping with stations for the Cricut, sewing machine, Quickutz, and Accucut. We each got our own bedroom (for the little sleeping we did), and they planned most of our meals! They are amazing! Papa made us dinner & dessert every night (except our Birthday Dinner night) and made us lunch quite a few times as well! </div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is the first of my 9 layouts...</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S9YZhVKFFYI/AAAAAAAAEKI/6yHcKzTtQgs/s1600/Bus1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S9YZhVKFFYI/AAAAAAAAEKI/6yHcKzTtQgs/s400/Bus1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>This one was the quickest layout of just about all time! Start to finish was about an hour, maybe two... seeing as it was about 3am I couldn't really read tell time, lol! I hand cut the trees and bus out of one of the patterned papers. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Wheels</b></span> was punched out using my newest Quickutz font <i>Strawberry</i>, which I am sooo in love with! And <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"><b>BUS </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">was punched out of one of granny's fonts using chipboard then painted it, I think it was a Sizzix Bigz font? The buttons are CTMH Craft buttons.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have been scrapping though, just haven't had time to photo and post the layouts. <a href="http://www.scrapbookingforothers.blogspot.com/">My mom</a> recently did a post... about me... to my surprise! Actually, it's more about my scrap room. So, I thought it would be good to dust off the blog and share my scrap space with all of you, too. <div><br /><div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S7vqmjN3ZiI/AAAAAAAAEG0/3ADSPn46sWA/s1600/IMG_2757.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S7vqmjN3ZiI/AAAAAAAAEG0/3ADSPn46sWA/s320/IMG_2757.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457213321498813986" /></a>This is my little scrap closet... And I do mean LITTLE! My desk measures 24x40 and there is j-u-s-t enough room for a chair, so I can close the door if I want/need solitude. It is supposed to be my hall closet, but my dear hubby decided I needed a place of my own and we could find a home for "normal closet stuff". {I actually think he could foresee me using the dining room table for the rest of our lives and never eating on it again :o) }</div><div><br /></div><div>So, I designed on paper what I wanted on each shelf, measuring along the way and he custom built the shelves. My dad made me the wooden boxes that house all of my 12x12 paper. If you have ever met me, or maybe just read here occassionally, you know I am a little ocd about color... I love ROY-G-BIV! I love having everything in the order of the rainbow, it makes for a bright happy feeling when I need something!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S7vqmNX_CZI/AAAAAAAAEGs/8_1tAP08Biw/s1600/IMG_2743.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S7vqmNX_CZI/AAAAAAAAEGs/8_1tAP08Biw/s320/IMG_2743.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457213315635677586" /></a>If you click on the photos they will enlarge so you can look closer, if you feel the need. And feel free to comment or email if you have any questions about organization or any products you see. After helping friends get organized over the years, we all come to say the same thing... once you find a home for everything it really helps you be more productive and surprisingly helps you spend less because you know what you have and whether you have room for it if you buy it, lol! Hope this helps someone out there! ;o)</div></div></div>ScrapyTiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17584813109805535345noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659475921319880026.post-44862412126170014202010-02-01T13:21:00.003-05:002010-02-01T13:33:19.835-05:00orange vs. BLUE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S2cb8J8vg4I/AAAAAAAAEGE/Slc2RSbNLpg/s1600-h/IMG_0574.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S2cb8J8vg4I/AAAAAAAAEGE/Slc2RSbNLpg/s320/IMG_0574.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433342195722584962" /></a>Again with the wonky colors, I just dont get it!

It was so hot and humid, but I think we all truly had a good time. Even though Hailey refused to smile for the camera, she was having a blast hamming it up for everyone around us making faces and doing the Gator Chomp instead of the Braves Chop! Doesn't go over so well in Georgia, doing the Florida Gator chomp... but most people thought it was funny! Towards the end, she did finally get the chop... she has no plans on ever making that motion again. :o) Yes, I realize my neighbors are cringing and glaring at me right now, lol!

It was one of the only Halloween type papers I could find that used yellow instead of orange to coordinate with the yellow/black bee theme. The little bumblebees I made on the Gypsy with layers of yellow, black, and vellum generic egg shapes. I used the flourish and bling to mimic the flight pattern. I also have to share that the day of Halloween, Miss H decided that a Queen Bee needed a crown to go with the costume. So, I used one of her old princess crowns, painted black where the "stones" were and used pipe-cleaners and yellow puff balls to make her a Bee Crown/Antennae. She loved it!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S1ywYEkia9I/AAAAAAAAEEw/W8Vgjl1d5pA/s1600-h/IMG_0534.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 317px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S1ywYEkia9I/AAAAAAAAEEw/W8Vgjl1d5pA/s320/IMG_0534.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430409178292317138" /></a>PP: Target Scrapbooking Supplies</div><div>CS: CTMH Honey & Black</div><div>Quickutz: Moxie Classic, Flourish</div><div>Embellies: RickRack (from the sewing stash), Bling</div><div>White UniBall Gel pen for journaling and detailing</div><div>Cricut: Doodlecharms (egg outline) </div>ScrapyTiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17584813109805535345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659475921319880026.post-86924901949796767912010-01-22T11:00:00.000-05:002010-01-22T11:53:30.390-05:00Imagine It! & Fritz's<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECeVeKoZI/AAAAAAAAEBg/e1YZ4AbrSFM/s1600-h/imagine1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECeVeKoZI/AAAAAAAAEBg/e1YZ4AbrSFM/s320/imagine1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422618146513789330" border="0" /></a>These are not the best pictures because I had to photo them in the page protector... so you get the whole "picture" of what I did. And, I am probably going to do a horrible job of explaining this, but pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words anyways, right?! These photos were taken a couple of years ago at the Imaine It! Children's Museum in Atlanta, GA. If you are ever in the area, it was a fantastic and relaxing place to spend an entire day! She had a blast and the place was so low key, that I was actually able to sit down and watch her play! Great place! <div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECetZszeI/AAAAAAAAEBo/D4VDiNLPXUc/s1600-h/imagine2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECetZszeI/AAAAAAAAEBo/D4VDiNLPXUc/s320/imagine2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422618152937508322" border="0" /><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECj3A6rSI/AAAAAAAAEB4/A0WKXVVPx7c/s1600-h/imagineWide.JPG"></a></div><div>Anywhoo, the right side of the layout is normal, no flips or anything special interactive. But the other side, with the big enlargements... That side is cool! One of my better thoughts on making pages interactive, if I do say so myself :o) The pictures had so much going on in them, that I had to make them big in order to really get a feel for the place and all the details... the problem was making them big and keeping them all safe! So, I came up with the idea to use a 9x9 page protector and sew it to my layout! I ordered 8x10 photos and trimmed them to 8x9, I put two of the photos in the page protector and other was attached to the layout. This left me 1" of page protector extra to sew to my layout. I was able to get <i>THREE</i> 8x9 photos on this page! And they are all safe. That is probably clear as mud, but if you really want to <i>get</i> it, you just have to come over and <i>see</i> it. Here is a close up (the photo is upside down) of the top of the photo attached to layout, where I cut my 12x12 protector to slide the 8x9 protector out.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECj3A6rSI/AAAAAAAAEB4/A0WKXVVPx7c/s1600-h/imagineWide.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECj3A6rSI/AAAAAAAAEB4/A0WKXVVPx7c/s320/imagineWide.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422618241417260322" border="0" /></a>Here is a closeup of where I sewed the 8x9 protector to the actual layout with the 2 photos inside, then mounted the third directly to the layout slightly overlapping the 8x9 protector.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECjyS9-1I/AAAAAAAAEBw/-LNRB_TAi1I/s1600-h/imagineClose.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFdeqYmV4tc/S0ECjyS9-1I/AAAAAAAAEBw/-LNRB_TAi1I/s320/imagineClose.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422618240150797138" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>The next layout is a really old, reallllly simple one, but what was cool about his one was that I needed a pp that had pink and navy, but could only find pink and brown.
