Fall Banner with September Stamp of th Month

 I made this banner for some one's birthday at work and I liked it so much I had to make one for myself!!! I used this months Stamp Of The Month called Fall Favorites, which you can still buy for a short time. http://brendamckerchie.ctmh.com   I also used the stamp called Natures Vein for the leaves.  I rock and rolled them and then used an embossing tool to make creases on the veins.  The paper is Abundance and I colored the scarecrow in with CTMH's new alcohol markers.  I really like the two colors you get in a package and how well it looks when you shade them together. the burlap is from Joann Fabrics.   I am super excited about how this turned out!

Super Hero Layout

 I used a sketch from Basic Grey I found on facebook for this layout.   It is by Susan Strinfellow and she has a blog with tons of sketch ideas.  www.sketchsavvy.blogspot.com It is definitely worth checking it out. This picture of my son was on facebook and I loved it so much I saved it from his page and turned it into a black and white.  I really like it better this way because originally it had a yellow tone. The paper is Super Hero from Close To My Heart as well as the Badge Buttons Comic, and Dimensional Elements Stars embellishments. The stamps I used are SuperHero Workshop and Blue Ribbon. I would love to hear what you think of this layout.

 I also made an 8 x8 page for his book and a couple of cards with some scraps.  The stamp for the cards was Super Powers. I think these papers work really well for boys and guy pages. P.S. I love you too Matt!  Thanks for stopping by!

Clementine Layout

I used the Workshop on the go kit ( Clementine ) for this layout.  I used the stamp set that went with it and the Cottage Assortment embellishments that came with it.  The burlap I got by the yard at JoAnn Fabrics.  I cut the Title out with my Cricut using the Old West cartridge.  That cartrige goes so well with this paper and the Dakota paper.  The color is really bad in these pictures but the layout turned out super cute.  I hope you are getting to do some crafting this week.  I am working over time but am looking forward to a vacation and Scrap Camp coming up soon!  Thanks for stopping by.

SweetHeart Cards with scraps

Happy Birthday Becky!! I used up a bunch of Sweetheart scraps today.  Purple is Becky's favorite color so I was making her a card.  I ended up making two so I do not know which to give her!   I hope she has a good day. 

Stella layout

So I have to admit that the Stella paper pack was not on my favorites list but it is starting to grow on me.  I think it is okay as long as I use the busy papers in small doses.  I saw this layout online and really liked it so I scraplifted it.  You can find the original on The Twilight Stamper blog by Justine Hovey.  I also used the Bohemian assortment, Complements Canvas Shapes Sheet Stella and my Art Philosophy Cartridge.  This is going to be another busy week with overtime at work so I am scheduling my post.  Thanks for stopping by and I love hearing from you. Scrap Happy Brenda

Emporium card

This card was made with the scraps of my happy place banner.  The three butterflies on the bottom were made from the negative space when I cut them on my Cricut. The paper is Creative Basics Emporium.

Victory Layout

These pictures are from LAST summer.  I am still very behind.  I have been trying to get my pictures in order for an upcoming crop and I discovered that I still have some christmas pictures from 2010 to do!  The paper is victory and the word strips are from the zip strip on top of the paper. I also used the Milepost shapes and the stamp set Posterboard.The little sister sticker was given to me from my friend who has no boys.  Thanks Tricia.

Dotty For You cards

Good Morning!  Not to often I am up and going this early.  Both these cards were made with Dotty For You paper.  I used the Stitched Together stamp set plus Life Is Tweet and Live Out Loud. ( June and July SOTM)  The twine is "Cheater" twine from Maya Road.  Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day here.  Thanks for stopping by.  Scrap Happy!  Brenda

Tricia's card

Well what is just as fun as scrapbooking or cardmaking?  Getting a hand made card from a friend in the mail.  I was super excited to get this card since things are still crazy with school and overtime.  You made my day.  Thanks so much.  I am planning on getting in some scrap time today. ( it is 2:40 am right now.  Thats how 3rd shift goes) I just need to get back to sleep right now.  Thanks also to eveyone who ordered from Becky's party.  Kathy won the drawing for the stamp set.   Have a great day!  Scrap Happy!

Veranda Layout

I used a the very first stamp I ever bought from Close To My Heart on this layout. Pure Love. I used Veranda paper, Garnet card stock and Colonial White Mini Medley. I also used Vine Yard Berry Gross grain ribbon and cut out the matte with my Cricut.  I would love to hear from you.  Scrap Happy!  Brenda

It's Your Day Stamp-Cards

These cards were also made with the Constant Campaign stamp for this month.  I also used both Silhouette and Animal Cracker creative Basics paper.  I used the Black Round Ribbon and My Accents in both Black and Green.  The flowers were from my stash.  I have had these forever!  Scrap Happy!  Brenda

Layout with It's your day Stamp

So the goal was to use up some of my older stuff and also use the new It's Your Day Stamp that is the C.C. this month.  I used the layout Balanced Blocks on page 105 from the Cherish idea book.  I also used Silhouette level 1 paper, Creative Basics paper, and stickease.  The ribbon is black round ribbon and I used My Gold Accents.  We have been very busy at work so still not much creative time.  Thanks for stopping by.

Ethan's card

I made these cards thinking of my nephew Ethan for his birthday but I made a couple extra. The paper is something I had in my stash and I used up the entire sheet.  That was the idea when I made so many was to use all the paper. The stamp is a CTMH stamp called Roar.

I think is works nice for a little boy. 

Do not forget to post on my blog that you saw this when you order from Becky's party to get in on the drawing for this stamp. Also you can still get in on the double stamp deal for 5 dollars when you spend 35 dollars all this month.  this has been a busy month. We just went on our last camping trip for the summer and next week I have to do a lot of overtime but I am hoping to get crafty real soon.Also just a note to everyone who goes to Scrap Camp at Son-Life.  They changed the dates!  It is now October 26 -27!  Scrap Happy!
