Ooops!!!!!

Ummm...ahhh...I'm not a blogger (don't throw keyboards at me) but it's going to be evident by my posts below....as they are not listed in the right order....

I don't know how to fix that...so please forgive my ignorance and scroll down to the "My Mom and Me post" and then work your way up ;)

Scrappin' Great Deals - Novemember 2009 Kit - Journal Book

Kaisercraft.....ohhhhh, this paper is A-Mazing!!! I really couldn't wait to play with it!! The deep hues and pop of sunshine called to me!!!

I knew I wanted to use it for a scrapbook page....but by this time I'm thinking of my mom.....sitting at home... nursing herself, while I slaved away....ok, so I was in my glory creating these projects and my mind was racing with thoughts of more to come.....but, I decided before I can make a scrapbook layout with this Kaisercraft paper (drool)..... I want to make a little something something for my mom...but I'll still use the paper!!!

So as you can see I did. Both sides of this paper are fantastic!!! It coordinated perfectly with cardstock in the kit as well. My inks even hit the spot in colour matching ;)

This is for you mom!!!

Scrappin' Great Deals - Novemember 2009 Kit - Birthday card for DH

My DH is a fly fisherman through and through. He even ties his own flies!!! When I decided to make his birthday card with the kit I was having a hard time envisioning anything to do with fishing...I still had all my "girly" ideas racing through my head (as I handled that beautiful ribbon again ;) ) I shook off the thoughts of more pretty projects to come and got to the task at hand.


A card for my husband!! See how I used that Havest Hayride from pinkpaislee again on this project? (The paper indicator is still on my desk for this one ;) ) I used a scrapbook layout featured in the current Scrapbooks Etc. magazine for this layout. I just loved the textured touch from the layers underneath!!! And look....I found the perfect place to stamp some fish images. Another birthday card for DH with fishing as the theme!!


I love how this kit has so many possibilities with the choice of papers it has. I still had pretty idea's (not that I don't think this card is pretty....but we won't say that to my DH ok...shhhhh) so next I knew just the paper I wanted to get my hands on. See below!!!

Scrappin' Great Deals - November 2009 Kit - My Mom and Me double page layout

Hello Bloggers!!!

Trish here. My mom did ask me to help her with making some projects and as she was so sick (H1N1 suspected) I took the "burden".....who am I kidding, I grabbed this kit packed with beautiful goodies and ran!!!!

The first thing in the kit I was drawn to was a sheet of paper that looks slightly distressed, has a dark bg and rich flowers on it. Sry...DS has taken out the recycling so I've lost the paper indicating strip...but it's gorgeous and it's in the kit!!! You can see it below.

My mom was originally going to make a layout I had helped her with. Though the kit was now in my hands to use I couldn't get the layout and colours out of my mind so I still wanted to do the page on my mom.

Being that I am a double page layout kinda girl I wanted to make it a two page spread. So I made the layout on My Mom & Me!!!

It was a snap to put together (the hardest part was getting pictures for it ;) ).

I have enough of these papers to still make additional projects and I still have a snip of that amazing ribbon too, enough for another scrapbook page!!!!

The next thing I wanted to make was a card and since my DH's b-day was Oct. 28....I just HAD to dip into this kit one more time!!! See below!!
