This was such a quick and easy card to put together using the July Kit from Crop Addict. I just LOVED the end result. 1. Paint star chipboard with blue acrylic paint and set aside to dry. 2. Place sticker strips on white 51/2 X41/4" cardstock. 3. Place small Adorn It Let Freedom Ring letters on card. 4. Attach star with pop up dots and place tissue paper flower inside with red sticker dot. 5. I also put 3 dots on after Let Freedom Ring with my fine point Sharpie marker. This is the day Jeremy became a Boy Scout.... Continue reading

I am so excited!!!! For my last challenge at Crop Addict as the Featured Designer of the month, I contacted Jaime Warren...my Scrap Idol...to ask her if it was OK to use the layout below to scraplift. Her layouts always inspire me with all the extra little goodies she adds and looks so effortless. And I just love the photos she takes of her kids. Maybe someday I will be able to do something close to what she does!!! She quickly emailed me back and told me that she would LOVE for us to use it! So, I got to... Continue reading

Here's the two page layout I created with April's Crop Addict Kit and the Add On! I was so proud of myself (even though it was an easy 2 pager because of the way the papers are made from Adorn It.)!!

The Smile sticker I just cut a small square and attached to my photo as a tab. 3. Attach photos. 4. Place popdot on back... Continue reading

This picture was taken at a Girl Scout camping trip that our whole family went on. On the last day, we were taking pictures of the girls and Jeremy decided that he would be a goofball and run into the picture just as I was taking it. His favorite saying is "What's Up?" and I think it was very fitting for this picture! He is truly a goofball, but we love him tremendously! I used the Dream Street Papers from the March 2011 Crop Addict Kit and a piece of "green" Bazzill cardstock that is in the kit. 1. Cut... Continue reading
