Documenting You

Hello and happy Friday!    How many of you scrapbook about yourself? I know I am guilty of not documenting about myself enough.  So, I created a layout telling random facts about myself.  I used My Mind's Eye's new collection Cut and Paste.

 

 

 

 

I used my typewriter for my journaling then added small embellishments such as paint splatter, enamel dots, brads, and wooden veneer shapes.

 

 

I used one of the coordinating Cut and Paste cardstock stickers to place my title.  I wanted to use a variety of letters, as well.

 

 

 

So, this weekend I challenge you to create a layout all about yourself!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now on to the Ten Things for today!  Today we zoned in on stars...and once again our designers hit this one out of the park!

Practical Scrapper Christine added stars to her quilted card to give it an Americana feel.

Practical Scrapper Jessica Arrant used two types of origami stars to create a focal point on this layout about her son's current favorite song.

Practical Scrapper Lisa M stitched her stars and then colored them in with watercolor pencils and added water.

Practical Scrapper Wendy built origami "fireworks" with Cricut diecut stars and twist tie streamers dancing in the background topped with quilled Mickeys for this Disney inspired photo display frame. Check out lots of close up pictures of this kit on her blog!

Practical Scrapper Charity used eyelets and twine to add stars to her layout as well as a sketch from Sketchabilities.

Practical Scrapper Christine folded diamonds in half to create a fun geometric star as the focus of this card.

Practical Scrapper Stephanie used stars to make this card shine!

Practical Scrapper Jennifer Campbell used a star stamp set and matching star punch to create this card!

Practical Scrapper Leslii used 1 inch stars to fill the 11 inch star on her wall hanging.

 

Practical Scrapper Brenda Ragsdale used the negative space from stars she cut using the Cricut, to layer under her photo and embellish the her page. She also added brads to the center of the stars in the patterned paper. 

 

Practical Scrapper Deborah Johnson used wood veneer stars to create a banner on this everyday occasion card.

Happy Birthday, Honey Bunny!

Practical Scrapper Krissy Clark McKee here on this very special day.  Why is it so special, you ask?  Well, it's the hubster's birthday! And even though he isn't the kind of guy to get all gushy and misty-eyed over Hallmark commercials, he very much loves to get small gifts and mementos that let him know the wifey-poo (that's me) still cares.  So, today I am sharing with you a layout and a card I made for my guy in honor of his birth.

 

I am one of the April Guest Designers over at My Creative Scrapbook, which is a wonderful kit club.  I worked with the main kit that came with so many goodies, mostly from the new Crate Paper lines, I had more than enough paper to finish this extra layout and card in addition to the 2 layouts and cards I already completed!

 

Here is a close up of my journaling, which I created easily by cutting up strips of one of my papers and writing on each strip.

And here is my card:

 Simple, yes.  But I love it!  And I think my guy will love it, too.  Who knows, he might even get a little misty-eyed...
