scrap group. Here is the sketch. 
Here's just a quickie for tonight. This a tag I made for a swap. I used one of the $1 stamps that I bought at the CK convention. I don't remember the brand though. Just added a touch of color with the orange and grey. I used a white gel pen to mark the corner. Pretty simple and easy.
This is from Halloween 2005 but was scrapped probably in 2007. I was on a weekend scrap retreat at the lake with my girlfriends. One of the girls brings her stamps and inks every time. I was working on this princess page and she said she had this princess stamp. Well, I used it and the saying that went with it. I also colored it in with the SU markers she had. That I believe it what started it all. Within a few months of this, I started buying my own stamps. I started with acrylic because they were less "scary" to me. I still prefer acrylic because I like to see exactly where I'm stamping but I will use rubber stamps now without the fear of messing up. It's been a little over a year that I started making cards. Cards and stamps are two things I never thought I'd get into but boy was I wrong!
Well, I Googled it to see if I could find a recipe and this is what I found. I haven't actually tried it but it sounds good. So as I'm thinking about it I thought I need to get paper with peaches on it or something. What I tried doing instead was printing a picture of peach off the internet, traced it on cardstock then cut it out. Then I flocked it. So it actually has peach fuzz. How cool is that. I just started working with flock and thought I could use the clear embossing pad and it would adhere the flock. Well it did, sort of, but it easily rubbed right off. So I used a glue stick and it worked great. You can touch it and the flock stays put. I cut the petals off a flower to use as the leaves. If anyone tries this recipe please let me know if it's good. : )
I made this card for a challenge in one of my scrap groups from CafeMom. There was a sketch but I can't find it now but it was pretty close to what I did. You were suppose to use a Bella stamp. I do love the Bella stamps but I don't have any so I used this one I had just bought off Ebay. It's called Glam Girls and the saying came with it. I used colored pencils to color the image. They voted on the challenge and the end and the winner rec'd all the cards. Well, I didn't win. : ( So now I'm going to have to say goodbye to my Glam Girl.
I had my son Austin draw the name from the bucket.
This is my first ever board book. I know, I know, I'm way behind the times!! I've just been doing my 12x12 LOs and leaving it at that. But I finally decided I need to mix things up a bit. This is a chipboard book from Maya Road. I decided to use it to put our visit to Thomas the train for 2006 & 2007, but I just finished the album this summer. Austin now thinks he's too big for Thomas the Train. He's only 5-1/2!! They grow up so fast! 
I love using ribbon and having it stick out but there wasn't really a way to do it so I used my Crop-o-dile Big Bite and punched holes on the edges of the pages in all different areas. Then tied the ribbon through the holes.

This is a 12 x 24 canvas that I made for a class that I taught last week at A Memory To Scrap. I used Kimberly Poloson line of paper called Cabana Blooms and cut the swirl accents and the word family from the Cricut Home Accents cartridge. The word "family" fit just perfect across the canvas. I used the orginal Cricut and I think it was cut at a 3" or 3-1/2" setting. Perfect for the title on a 12x12 scrap page. I painted the edges with Kaiser's new line of paint for scrapbooking. If you haven't seen Kaiser's scrap stuff then you are missing out. They are a fairly new company out of Australia. The make great products and the prices are so reasonable. The LSS I teach at A Memory to Scrap carries alot of their stuff. They also have an online store too.
