Almost Summer vacation!

Well it is almost the last day of school but here is a first day of school layout! The paper is Typeset and the letters were cut out with a Sizzix die I have had forever! I think it is one of my very first sets! I want to thank everyone who came to my birthday crop and thank you for all your orders. I hope you all had fun. I know I had a blast. I still have a couple of drawing to do this weekend and if you are a winner I will let you know. Krista's garage sale, to raise money for her mission trip, is this weekend and there are a couple other people doing it with her so there should be lots of stuff.  thanks for stopping by and SCRAP HAPPY!

Let The Fun Begin!!!!!

Well I have finally gotten the house cleaned up, the basement set up, and believe it or not, my scrap room some what tidy ! So now let the fun begin!!! I am going to start by trying to get my pictures organized for tomorrow's crop. Tricia is coming over today so lets see how much we get done. Lots of prizes, cropping, eating and projects going on! Yay.

Krista is always leaving me little notes so this layout is so I do not forget about them when she is older.The paper is Stardust from CTMH and the chip board letters are from Scenic Route. The note was about her hair for crazy hair day and the picture is of her hair. This layout is so simple but it says a lot and I just love it. Do not for get that my Birthday CTMH party is open now and you can get the May paper deal Free To Be Me, and the SOTM for five dollars each with a fifty dollar order. Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Guy's Pop Up card. Vroom!

I made this card for my brother for his birthday. I used my Elizabeth Crafts die and the stamps: Card Chatter Birthday, plus Born To Ride From CTMH. The twin was recycled from a tag on some new clothes. I really like the little banner across the poles. Thanks fro stopping by and Scrap Happy!

Almost Party time!!!

I have been working on the gifts for people who order and here they are. I have eight made so far but a couple are already taken. What I have not been working on is getting my scrap book room cleaned up and organized! There is hardly any room for my lovely assistant to work at the computer! Only a couple of days left so I had better get busy. It is way more fun to mess my room up than to clean it. Scrap Happy Brenda

Another Dream Pop Card

I got the directions for this z fold card from Joanie's bloghttp://craftingwithjoanie.blogspot.com Here are some quick directions but you can always check out her blog if you have questions.Start with paper that is 5 1/2 x 12, measure up from the bottom of the left side 3 1/2 inches and make  mark. Then insert your paper into your trimmer so that the mark ( 3 1/2 inches ) is on the left side and angle your paper down to the 5 1/ 2 corner. Cut here so your paper is crooked. Next score two lines closest to the tallest part at 4 1/2 inches and at 8 1/2 inches on the short side. Well I am really getting excited about the crop but I need to find some motivation to get working on this house! Maybe tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy Mothers Day!

Dream Pop layout

Are you getting excited? I am. But I better get scrapin because the crop is coming up fast! Here is another picture of May's deal for 5 dollars when you spend 50 dollars and fro 5 dollars more you can get the Stamp Of The Month. So today's layout was made with last years May deal.The paper is called Dream Pop. I also added some of my own stuff from my stash. I used Plaid Parer Motions Magic Slide, Making Memories stickers, and Dimple street Gang stickers. The washi tape if from CTMH. Now for the blog post contest so far. The contest started on April 28th and it looks like Kim & Kathy are tied. I will draw a name if there is a  tie. For today's post please tell me what one of your hardest subjects to scrap was. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!

Happy National Scrap booking Day! I just got done working 15 days in a row so I will most likely not be getting any scrap booking in today. Bummer. I have a mess of house cleaning and yard work to do. Maybe I will clean my scrap room! Then I am still cleaning and I do not have to feel guilty! Sounds  good right? For the Dog camp layout I used the Frameworks Alphabet and the Hostess rewards stamp Doodle Signs. I just love these stamps! I also used a very old CTMH paper that I do not know the name of. Lastly I used Heartfelt-Whimsy Felt Die Cuts and a tag from my stash. I wanted to take the time to post today to tell you about another contest we are having for my Birthday crop. Krista is having a garage sale to earn money for her mission trip at the end of May and we will be collecting your unwanted items for her to sell. They must be sell able items and we will have some prizes to draw. everyone who brings stuff will get tickets for the drawing. I am not sure how many items per ticket, but I am leaving that job to Krista. i will probably set her up in the garage on sat to collect stuff and pass out tickets. So do some spring cleaning and pass your unwanted stuff along for a chance to win a prize. Also do not forget the other contest about who ever comments on the most post from now until the party will get a prize. This is why i keep telling you girls to read my post. Anyone who is coming may miss out on something if they do not check in on my blog. I hope you are Scrap Happy on this National Scrap booking Day!

Chicken layout!

I am so proud of my girl! Not only is she doing great in school and playing polo, she is also planning on going on a mission trip this summer. I will be selling some layout and card base kits at my party to help her earn the money for her trip. I thought this Graphic 45 paper went really well with the chicken theme of these pictures. I also used paper from Kaiser Craft called Weather. And of course I never do a layout with CTMH stuff. the journaling spots and the Cocoa gross grain ribbon are from CTMH. I also just love this funny picture of Krista helping me take pictures for my blog!
