I am a Promise

2011-06-01T21:50:00.003-04:00

One of my favorite kid songs is "I am a Promise" so when Little Scraps of Heaven Designs
came out with this file I knew it was one I wanted for my daughter's scrapbook. She's 25 now and I'm just starting so I will probably never finish-especially considering how many dance photos we have. Anyway here is the layout I made using the I am a Promise paperpiecing file.

Little Scraps of Heaven

I don't get to do much scrapbooking but I love doing paperpiecings using my cutter (I now have a blue Craftrobo, Pazzles Inspiration, and Gazelle.)

I have a couple of sites that I like to buy from. Recently I've been eyeing some piecings over at Little Scraps of Heavens Designs. I love the new Little Scraps of Faith sets-especially the ones with children. Go check them out at

Once you see how great the files are make sure you go Like them on facebook and tell them that I sent you.

Graduation Layout

2009-05-03T20:17:00.006-04:00

Awesome artist Tammy DeYoung offered a tutorial Saturday at Aimee Asher Elite for National Scrapbooking Day. It was a tutorial to make a background page using Photoshop. It was a lot of fun. Then HugMe expanded on it using Tammy's graduation graphics and it was perfect for a photo that I had from my daughter's graduation. I actually bought her graduation bundle since it was cheaper and I fell in love with them.

I Issued a Challenge

2009-04-05T08:30:00.002-04:00

I issued a challenge to my friends at Aimee Asher. I challenged them to do a layout using a template from http://daniellecorbittdesigns.com/Starlets/?p=93. It is a freebie. I'll post mine as soon as I finish it. In the meantime if you want to participate go check out the forum at Aimee Asher and check out all my friends layouts while you are there.

Quickpage Exchange

2009-04-05T00:19:00.006-04:00

We did a quick page exchange at Aimee Asher last month. The participants used Audrey Jeanne Roberts' Happy Spring Graphics. We were required to use at least 3 of the kits which included AJ'S Happy Easter!
AJ'S Happy Easter 2
Happy Easter Word Art
AJ'S Happy Spring! Decorated Alphabet and
AJ'S Happy Spring! Alphabet.

Everyone who participated got copies of the pages.

These are what I came up with. The second one was loosely based on a template that I saw. I liked the ribbon lines and decided to put them there as a result.

Celebrating Spring Quickpage

2009-04-04T08:21:00.001-04:00

When Audrey Jeanne Robert's kit Celebrating Spring was uploaded to the shop I fell in love with it and had to make a quickpage right away. The colors were so pretty and I loved the graphics.

I used a page map from scrapbook page maps-sketches for creative layouts by becky fleck.

Another Decorated Journal

2009-04-04T08:10:00.000-04:00

I am on the planning committee for PESDHH's fall convocation. We are a group of educators who work with deaf and hard of hearing students. I needed some way to keep planning notes organized so I got a folder to keep loose papers in and then created a notebook to write notes in. Audrey Jeanne Robert's Wildflower Sonata I was a great match to the cover of the folder.
I also made post it notes.

Decorated Journals

2009-04-04T07:59:00.000-04:00

I hate boring notebooks so I created some journals to use with my student. I also wrote a tutorial on how to make them. I used Tammy DeYoung's Girl Talk graphics.

Here's a link to my tutorial.

Out of the Box Challenge

2009-04-01T07:53:00.000-04:00

I made this as part of a challenge. I kept trying to change the background to boy colors but I never managed to do it and have it look nice.
