Workshop Share

All I can say is I've been busy working on these layouts. I did get all my laundry done, so far that's been it. Today I'm working on an apron for my husband to wear in his shop. He's been ruining his jeans with all the fine sawdust so we decided on an apron. I've had the material quite awhile so since I'm off the next couple of days I might as well get on it.


Here is my share for today. It's the first of the 4 pages we're doing at the workshop on the 20th. The first 2 pages are from the You Rock Workshop on the Go. The page design is by Jeanette Lynton of CTMH. I used Sunflower embossing powder on the C & P as they didn't show up. The flourish stamp is from the stamp set Playful Flourishes. I also embossed them and added sparkles to the swirls. I did change the layout by using different embellishments than what's on the original. The pictures are from my granddaughters 4th grade County Spelling Bee. I'll share page 2 tomorrow.

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping.
Hugs,
Bobbi

Finishing Projects

Yesterday was beautiful outside. Did I work out there no, I scrapbooked and looked out the window. I also while looking for something for one of my pages found a project that needed finished. It was a swap I was in about different embellishment we sell/sold and how to use them. Also one about using the Coluzzle templates. I made to little books out of them. The embellishment one is pretty big, thick. Anyway, I decided that today I'd share the one I did for the swap. This is all Close to My Heart products. It's a 6 X 6 White Daisy cardstock base. The stamp sets used are Little Boys and Flyin High. The textured paper is from the Majastic Blue paper pack level 2. Crystal Blue was stamped on. Under the little Robot is the birthday information. I used Bamboo waxy flax to tie the two papers together. For those that can't read what it says, here goes.

Photo clips come in a variety of colors. If you don't hae the color you want, heat one with your heat gun and dip it in embossing powder (be sure to use your tweezers to hold it ). These clips can be used to hold pictures, as closures or for decoration. A fun item to have in your stash and to use to give a little bling. This was computer generated. I hope this share will give you more ways to use these little clips.

This is it for today, come back you just never know what I'll show you next. I'm starting to sort though stuff and organize, hee hee. I'll never be that. Have a great day.

Hugs,

Bobbi

Last Card for this Swap

It's a beautiful morning here. Hope the sun is shining for you all. I'm really loving the sunshine. Need to get out in the yard and do something, but it need to get about 10 degrees warmer. I put out a slip at school to do a parent scrapbooking class in the evenings and have already had some takers. If you know anyone wanting to learn the basics this is the class for them. They get to use all of the stuff the kids use, scissors, glue, circut. I will bring ink and stamps for them to use also. All they have to furnish is pictures. Have them call Vicki at East or leave a message there for her.


On to today's share. This is the last card in the background/embellishment swap. They went in the mail yesterday. The main background is a spider webish dark green on light green. Very pretty, probably should have done the embossing on it and used the green as a background for it. The gold leaves are the embellishment. I used them on one of the other cards. They are very fine to work with and self sticking so you have to be real careful. I love this stamp set. It's called Faith, it's retired from CTMH. The saying says Trust in the Lord with all thy heart. This would make a nice Sympathy card. The hands and saying are all gold embossed.


I got my new paper yesterday and have my layout started for the workshop. It's 4 pages, I'll share when I get one finished. I love this paper. I think when you see it you'll like it too. Hope you enjoyed today, stop back again.

Hugs,
Bobbi

Another Swap Card

Sorry about not posting yesterday, I did some blog hopping. Got a lot of inspiration from the blogs. CTMH has a Stamp of the Month so some of the consultants (60) do a blog hop with the same set. It's amazing, you never see anyone come up with the same idea. They all love one of the new paper packs that came out called "You Rock". Mine is coming today and I can't wait. I'm going to use it for a Scrapbook Workshop the middle of the month. I've found as I get older I really like the bright colors and some of the wilder paper. It's fun to come up with things to do with it and pictures to put on it. I'll share it when I get it done.

Todays share is another card from the background embellishment swap. My background is Sunny Yellow cardstock (CTMH), then the one sent. This backgound is done with a cuttlebug, not sure of the name. It was clear embossed and colored. I used the yellow ricrac that came and the blue flower and button. I tied waxy flax throught the holes in the button. I stamped the Many Thanks from a box of stamps I got at Micheal a long time ago, with Moonstruck (CTMH) and stuck it under the flower. Sometimes it's really hard to decide what to do with what is sent to you. This swap has been kind of hard. You'll see that with tomorrows share.

Thanks for stopping, come back again.

Pocket Card

It's a little rainy this morning. Everything is turning green. The trees are budding out, hope we don't get any bad weather to freeze them. It's looking alot like spring.

My card today is another one of the background and embellishments swap. This one I did a little different. The background is the pocket. The main layer is Topiary (CTMH), then Goldrush (CTMH). I outlined the sides with a gold pen to look like stitching. The gold leaves are a sticker. The flowers are 2 little green ones with gold brads and a white one, I colored gold, glued the green button with gold thread on it between the little green ones. The pocket also has the gold stitching. There is a little tag stuck in the pocket that says Love. The pocket background is a marbling technique.

Hope you enjoy this card. Have a great day, I'll try and get busy today and get some more done.

Hugs,

Bobbi

Spring Card Swap

It's another beautiful day. Tashia called last night from Homer, Alaska, it was cold and they had 2 foot of snow. She was not a happy little girl. I think she forgot they still have winter we start spring. She will be down for summer vacation. Today was Jakes day for the vet. He was pretty cranky cause he couldn't eat or go outside. Yowled when he first got in the car. Think it was the first time for him. It sure won't be the last as he's going to travel with us. He starts is leash training the end of the week.

Today is a card I made using a background and embellishment that was sent for the swap. The scan came out a little dark. The first background is Orange (CTMH) cardstock, with Sunny Yellow (CTMH) on top. The next is the background I got, it's tones of oranges and yellows with a sparkling of gold. I cut it in 3 equal pieces and layed it out.That's a sploch of the gold by the butterflies antenna. The butterfly is stamped in Sunny Yellow and kiss & twisted with Orange on the wings. Inks are CTMH. The antenna is Black marker. The flower is Orange felt with a sparkle, the ribbon is a goldish color. I'll share the other card tomorrow. I still have 2 to figure out. There is no school tomorrow afternoon, so maybe I can work on them then.

Have you noticed I haven't been grouching about the kids forgetting pictures. It's a new quarter and the kids in the class love it. We got a Circut to use for some cute embellishments and letters. These kids work real hard on their layouts and they look great. It's a fun class.

Well, it's off to school I go. Thanks for stopping by, come by again.

Hugs,

Bobbi

March is in like a Lamb

It's a beautiful day in the valley. The sun is shining and we have no wind. Right now it's 41 degrees. My heart goes out to those in Chili, I can't imagine how they must be handling this catastrophe.

We had a busy weekend with the Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation. Thanks to everyone that put in so many hours making it a success. We did real well, people drank because they didn't have food, the caterer didn't show. Kentucky Fried Chicken came through for them. Delivered 250 dinners. Yah! to the staff there. They must have busted their hinnies getting that many done at once. They looked like they were closed when we came home at 10:30.

Today I'm sharing another of my little books. This one was made by Paulette and the Theme was American Indians. The Indian Maiden is done with marker, she's very pretty. The charm is of a Dream Catcher. It was done by Jody. #3 is an Alaskan Crow Man done in multi ink in a tree. The ribbon is multi colored see through. It was done by Karla. #4 Is a Arizona Lighting Man, this was done by Sandra. #5 is on dark marbled paper, the circle is a round raven embossed in bronze on dark red paper. There is a punched tree on the top. It was done by Susan, she said it is Northwest Indian Art. It's very pretty but hard to see in the scan. #6 is a collage of things, the tope is a cut out of the First American, then tiny feathers with a dragonfly brad, then a block of Indian Signs. This was done by Mary. #7 is a back ground of swirls and suns. The bowl is Southwest and embossed in gold, with the spears. It was done by Robin. #8 Is a Southwest scene with the cacti and bowl. It was done by Kathy. Thank you ladies for the wonderful book. I have really enjoyed it. I hope everyone enjoys them too.

Until tomorrow, Hugs,

Bobbi
