Welcome Baby

 I have been working with some older photos of Little Man lately. I remember taking this photo back when I was in the 'scared silly - are they really going to entrust this small soul to my care' days ( he was 3 days old at the time). It's hard to believe how far we have all come in these 8 short years. I wish I could tell the 'me' of back then that it was really going to be alright and to enjoy how little he was just a little bit more because it really all did go waaaay to fast.

Almost all supplies: Crate Paper Little Boy Blue kit EXCEPT: Queen & Co 

Washi tape, Jillibean Soup word stickers, Cotton Twine & Buttons.

 

As always, thank you for stopping by.

Hugs & Happy Surfing!

Tebby

Hello friends and scrappy peeps!

I have a LO to share that I did several weeks ago at the KV crop that I went to.

I have been re-doing some old LOs and did this one about Little Man's favourite teddy bear that he so affectionately called 'Tebby' when he was learning how to talk.

 

Supplies: Simple Stories paper, American Crafts cardstock, Whisker Graphics bag, American Crafts stickers & alphas, My Mind's Eye 'Hello' tag & phrase stickers, Mister Huey's misters, Queen & Company washi tape, assorted buttons, twine, sequins

Thanks for stopping by! 

Have a great Tuesday!

Snow Day

 

With the gorgeous weather we have been having, the last thing I want to talk about is SNOW - but it is National Scrapbooking Day and I wanted to share a LO and this is it ;)

I bought these beautiful papers at a crop I went to a few months ago at a local community center. I didn't have a lot of money to spend that day but I wanted to make some sort of purchase as the owner of a store from Riverview NB, packed up her goodies & treked it down here. I try my best to support the LSS as best I can. And am I ever glad I did. These papers got my mojo going to scrap 'snow' photos ;  )

 This LO uses lots of little bits and pieces I have been holding onto (the snowflake die cut paper for example) The twine was a scrap sitting on my desk and these cute little birds are Recollections stickers I bought from Michael's on clearance ages ago. I love doing 'just because' LOs and using up some of my hoarded supplies.

 

 Supplies: American Crafts Cardstock, My Mind's Eye, Echo Park & We R Memory Keepers Paper, Snowflakes Momenta (large), American Crafts (smaller), KI Memories (lace cardstock), buttons from stash, Mister Huey's mist.

Thanks for stopping by & 

Have a Happy Scrappy Day!

These Two...

Hello Friends and Scrappy Peeps!

TGIF!!! 

I have another Hip 2-B Square LO to share with you today.

 **LO made with the March Kit + Add-ons from Hip 2-B Square.

 Ombre seems to be a fun trend in design lately and it's all over the scrappy world as well.

As soon as I saw the backside of this paper, I knew I would attempt a layout using these beautiful aqua tones. I first cut my paper down to 2" strips and then set out to punching. I punched a lot of butterflies but it just didn't look right. I used my remaining scraps and started punching circles. I liked these better but they were just too plain. Layering butterflies and other circles on top of the original circles did the trick and I was thrilled with the end result. I added some yellow, kraft & embossed elements and finished the LO off with some mist and cotton twine and called it done.

 

Imagine my thrill and excitement when I spotted this a few days later.

EEK! SQUEAL! GASP!!

(you get the idea ;) )

Selfie 2013

 

Hello, Scrappy Peeps!

I have another LO to share with you today using the March Hip 2-B Square kit.

I kept this page fairly minimal - not a lot of layering or matting on this one. I just added some paper strips, doilies, cotton thread & mist and it was done pretty quickly. A little TOO quickly, actually. I went back and added some stitching just to give it a bit more detail. 

I again used the Amy Tangerine vellum alphabet stickers from American Crafts.

I just LOVE how they look stamped.

  I also made some flags by doubling the fabric tape around a pin and then trimming it down and then added some sequins for a bit of added sparkle.

Thanks for popping by!

LOVE

I love when I get a naturally happy, smiling expression from my little guy.

The pic is not centered, he's not even looking at the camera but it's just 'him - happy'.

I didn't want to make the page for this pic too fussy, so I opted to leave most of the space white with a few embellishments. The die-cut honeycomb design is a new release from Jillibean Soup as well. This also falls into the category ' I didn't know that I needed this'. I hope that JBS comes out with more of these. I loved the Dear Lizzy chipboard elements as well but couldn't make the 'Lovely' sentiment work. Cutting off the 'LY' left me with a title that I could use.

 

 As you can see, I jumped on the bandwagon and added some sequins to my page.

 I like this nice and inexpensive little detail and can see using this on more LOs.

 

This LO is made from the March Kit from Hip 2-B Square + add-ons.

Favorite Toy

Although Kimberly and I have never met face to face, I believe she and I may share the same scrappy brain. This girl ends up putting kits together of goodies that I either have on my wishlist or sends me products I didn't know I couldn't live without. This kit is no exception.

 

**A little bit about the LO: Documenting Little Man's love of all things 'sticks'. No matter how much I tell him to stopping playing with them (for fear of him or someone else losing an eye), he picks up about 10 a day and even had a small collection here at the house until I collected them for the compost. Using the March Hip 2-b Square kit + Add-ons.

 

Don't you love when a product comes out and totally changes something? I feel this way about Jillibean Soups new Wise Word Stickers . Last year, I bought a Cricut Expression and am still trying to make use of this machine. I just don't have it in me to buy another die cutting machine but I LOVE the look of the joined titles that everyone is doing on their LOs with their Cameos. The new stickers from JBS give your page that trendy look at very little cost. I got these stickers in my March Hip 2-B Square kit but also happened to snag another set from a crop on the weekend at $1.49 price point. I am really hoping that Jill continues these with her next release with some new phrases. I am a huge fan of this product and can easily see other companies following suit at Summer CHA.:)

 

 

Another fab find in this kit are these Amy Tangerine Yes, Please stickers from American Crafts.

When I first saw the kit, I quickly dismissed these. I am not much for just 'plain' stickers on my pages but do like to try everything in my kits and I was surprised at how much I liked the 'stamped' look they lend to a page (I am a pretty rotten stamper although I am working on it). These are vellum and look even better when they are overlapped a bit.

I have more March LOs to share this week. Thanks for stopping by!
