STILL SCRAPBOOKIN'

It's a beautiful day in southern California but kind of a sad one too.

I just returned from the Memorial Service for my great-grandchildren's Mother. She had so many loving friends and she was a people's person filled with love and always giving of herself to others. It was a very nice service and a happy one. Music and laughter and sharing with each other, so different than some I have been too.

So, I haven't had time to make any new cards, so thought I would share some more scrapbook pages. The following two are made with Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze dsp and a strip of paper from the scrapbook kit. The flower is the large one and pearl from the Pretties Kit.

These were easy to do.

The following ones are done with Kiwi Kiss plain cardstock and Kiwi Kiss dsp. Pretties Kit flowers were also used but adhered with brads.

I just love scrapbooking whether it be hands on or through digital scrapbooking. I am really hooked on Stampin Up's Digital Scrapbook program. It is so easy to use and you can put your pictures in so easy. You can always dress the pages up with other emblishments later.

Must get on with creating, so I will see you here tomorrow!

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!

ALL IS O.K.

Great Saturday to Everyone!!

The surgery is over and all went very well and he is home and back to normal. I give God all the honor, glory and praise for this one. The surgery was suppose take upto 6 hrs and it was less than 3. The doctors were so pleased. We still have one more to go through before it is done but the next will be done as an out patient surgery and won't take long. However, then the tremor will be completely gone and he can function as a normal human being again. He told the doctor now he can work 20 more years before he retires. He is 79 now. Great attitude at least!

So today I have a few more pages for you from my 60 year scrapbook. The following 2 are done in Whisper White and Kiwi Kiss cardstock. I know I will be adding a lot of embelishments to these because they are pretty plain at this point.

I used the Scallop Trim Punch on this one. It made just a little different pattern.

These 2 are done in Chocolate Chip and Whisper White with embelishments from the scrapbooking kit. I just cut different sized rectangles and tore one side of the Whisper White.

The letters for Memories were in the scrapbooking kit. I also used All Chocolat' DSP for the main page on both. Again I tore the Whisper White for a different effect.

Hope you enjoyed my pages today and that they inspire you to do some scrapbooking for scrapbook month in May. I now have the awesome job of sorting pictures to put in this album. They are now in a shoe box, some do not have dates on, so you know I have several days of sorting ahead of me. I will try to create some cards in between.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!

TRIANGLE CARDS

Well, here it is the day before surgery and we got the clearance to go for it yesterday. I won't be posting tomorrow as I will be spending the day at Thorton Hospital in LaJolla, Ca. It will be nerve wracking I'm sure but with God's help I will survive it. My husband is not at all concerned, he is certain everything is going to go great and he doesn't see what all the fuss is about. Men, go figure.

Anyway, I got creative yesterday because of all my fussing, and made 3 cards from a tutorial I found a while back on danniesdesigns.typepad.com. She has such beautiful cards on her site and I am on there often. This is one I really liked and it is easy to do.

inside of card.

I started with a piece of Rich Razzleberry, 4 x 12 for the card base. Cut 1 piece of Cottage Wall DSP 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and cut in two diagonially. 1 square of Old Olive 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. Go around outside with the Border Trim Corner Punch and Border Trim Punch, makes a nice lacey look.

Then do 1 square 2 3/16 x 2 3/16 of Rich Razzleberry. The circle is stamped on Naturals White with a stamp from Vintage Labels and cut out with the Scallop Circle punch. I used the beautiful wings embosslit for the butterflies from Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Finished it off with Old Olive 5/8 satin ribbon. Also used dimensionals. Words are from Picture This.

This one is done in Sage Shadow and Chocolate Chip, with some retired dsp. I thought it was a little more masculine looking for a guys birthday. The bird on the front I cut out of the dsp. I sponged around everything with Chocolate Chip Ink.

This one is done in Not Quite Navy, Certainly Celery and So Saffron with some retired dsp. I am trying to use all my old dsp up so I can justify getting all the new stuff. (lol)

Now on with the scrapbook I thought I would leave you a few more pages since there will be no post tomorrow and maybe not Friday. I don't know how long the hospital stay will be but I know I will be expected to spend my days there for as long as need be. Hope you enjoy the following pages and will get inspired for Scrapbooking Month.

Flower is the big flower from the Pretties Kit with a pearl in the center

Parts taken from the scrapbook kit along with the dsp riding hood red paper.

I just love the topnote die. It makes a good picture background. Paper is from Au Chocolat' DSP.

That does it for today. I should be back by Saturday, so have a great couple of days and I'll see you then.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!
