Altered Items

Well, here is another altered 5x5 album I made. This is like the others in that I have the section for notes, (which comes with the book), the section for addresses and the section for birthdays. Each month has a page to write down family and friends birthdays.


This is an altered purse tin using supplies that I had left from the Creative License Simply Scrappin' Kit. I didn't want to make a girly one as I have boys. I thought this would be a great idea to take cars and coloring stuff in to either a restaurant, friends house or even on a plane. With that in mind, I decorated the sides like a suitcase you used to see in the old days with stickers of where a person has been. I really like this, and I think my son will too!

Finally a Post!

Thank you cards for my Scrap Club Ladies as Saturday was the last of this round. They are all continuing on so next Scrap Club will take place the 2nd Saturday of each of month.

Mini 6x6 Linen Post Album from Stampin' Up! which was made with the Creative License Simply Scrappin' Kit.

I know, I know, bad blogger......

A basic 8x10 Canvas
A total case from the Fall/Winter Collection, page 99.

Sorry that I have been absent. I have been participating in a few swaps to build up my selection for upcoming workshops. Anyway, swapping is now done and now I'm getting ready for a big workshop that my girlfriend is hosting for me. I actually had to go and rent a room at our local rec center as she currently has 18 people on the list and has a month yet to keep inviting people. I told her 10 would be fantastic. She's just trying to help me fill some clubs. Which is my ultimate goal! Well, for this workshop, I want to show a variety of projects. The first is the canvas that I made last night. I'm actually pretty happy with it. Being boys, you can't really doll it up with flowers or anything. How boring. I was also wanting to make up some set samplers as suggested by my upline. I had a few samples of Doodle This artwork so needed just one more sample to complete the set sampler. So, I case'd the catty. I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out. One set sampler done, a few more to go. I just have to order some more large cello bags. I now have none. Go figure. LOL. I will be back to show more samples of creations for this workshop. thanks for popping by!

I Can't believe I didn't Post July Scrap Club Pages

Here are our July scrap club page layouts we did. Hope you like it!

Scrap club creations for August

You can't really tell in the picture, but I used the Word Find background stamp River Rock on River Rock. Check out that NEW Satin Ribbon.....I LOVE IT! Any yes these pages have the waterfall!
Here is the waterfall in action. I used the pull out section for journalling.
Here is the second page with a mini waterfall. Again, Word Find background River Rock on River Rock, oh and the striped piece of DSP is from 'Cutie Pie'
Here the pull out I want to use to journal but didn't have an opportunity to get it done yet.

I'm sorry that I haven't posted on a regular basis. Summer just tends to get away from me. I'm currently working on renovating my oldest son's bedroom. We have some new gyprock and are going to be painting this weekend...yahoo! Ryan is so excited. I can't wait to see his reaction to the finished project! Thank you Uncle Mike and Auntie Sue for all of your hard work and skill and love that you're putting into this project! It's so appreciated!

A couple of "just because" cards

Usually I am either stamping for other people or for scrap club. I wanted so much to stamp today just because. This first card took forever. I have lots of other pieces to make other cards because I just couldn't get this one to come together. It's as done as it's going to get. I'm sorry this one is blurry. I'm happy with this one. When I went to my upline's house to check out what she learned at Convention, I was able to stamp some of her stamps that I don't have to play around with them. This pomegranate flower border is from the 'Happiness' background stamp.
Thanks for the visit. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to change the first card, please enlighten me!

Kathy W

who said: Wow! What awesome blog candy!! I am loving Night of Navy, Green Galore, and either Tempting Turquoise or Cool Caribbean or both. I saw this combo on an Old Navy shopping bag and have loved it ever since. I love designer paper, and have been pulling out all kinds...lately Bo Bunny and from the mat stacks you get at JoAnn's (I think they're called Die Cuts with a View?).

Kathy, if you could please email me your snail mail address to: stampandscrapwithme@gmail.com

The package is ready to go and I can get your goodies out to you right away!

Thank you to everyone who gave me their favorite color combinations....I have a few new ones to try now! I have also found some new blogs to visit! Yay! I love all of your inspiration.
