New Album featured at Basically Bare

Whoot!!  I have been wanting to show you my newest mini album using the new Summer CHA release "Oh So Mini's" but had to wait till my post was up at Basically Bare.

Here is a sneak

There are so many goodies on every page.  I used the Prima Marketing collection "alla prima".  If you want to see some of the inside pages and a better look, go to Basically Bare.

Let me know what you think. Happy Scrapping!

Basically Bare with Nikki Sivils "ROAD TRIP"

I wanted to post my new You Tube video of the mini I did for the Basically Bare and Nikki Sivils Swap we had on the Basically Blog a little bit ago.  Check out the swap at Basically Bare.

I really love using the Plain Jane album.  It is so easy and versatile to use.  I also thought that Nikki Sivils' "Road Trip" collection was adorable.

Hope you enjoy. 

New CHA Summer "OH SO MINI's" with Basically Bare

Hi everyone!  Hope you all are having a great weekend so far.  I wanted to share with you today a you tube video I did with the new Basically Bare "Oh So Mini" mixed media albums.

Be on the look out for my new mini album to be featured on Basically Bare later this month.

Thank you for stopping by :)

Travel Album Class

I recently taught this album and wanted to share some of the album photos.  I used the 7 Gypsies accordian album but cut up the inside pages so that it would be a flip album.  I used stamps for some of my embellishments.  I also used some of the 7 Gypsies travel collection.

I just loaded this album to my etsy store - so if you are interested in having this album for your very own go here Kitsnbitscraps.

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Scrapping!

CREATE Banner with Canvas Corp and K&Co.

Finished this cute banner today for a very special customer and wanted to share it.  The paper is from K&Co. "Handmade (Cara Marie)" - I am a Kraft cardstock person anyway and when I saw this collection I just had to have it. 

Some of the flags and pennants are from Canvas Corp.  I sewed and layered and added a couple of Bo Bunny and Petaloo butterflies. 

Happy Scrapping!!

A Soccer Layout with Trinity Paper Arts

Just a quickie blog post ... wanted to show you a layout I did of my nephew Kit when he was a little boy on his soccer team "The Killer Skeletons".  I used Making The Team collection by Trinity Paper Arts

If you have boys or girls playing sports in school, this is a great collection to use.

Happy Scrapping!

Some Vacation Pics

I had such a wonderful week at the beach that I had to share some photos ...

I have planned for a full day of scrappin' tomorrow and will be working on some Trinity Paper Arts  beach layouts.  I am also working on a new Basically Bare mini!

Thank you for stopping by and stay tuned!

Welcome "Home" Mini Chipboard Album

I have been in a very bright and cheery mood lately - the last 3 albums I've made are all cutesy!  Today I want to share this adorable little 6x6 chipboard album. This album is  colorful and whimsical and it makes me happy!  This little album is also being featured over at Scrap Street today, so go check out the articles.  Scrap Street always has great ideas from all the ladies.

I drew and hand paper pieced a cute "home" on the front cover with a little "welcome" sign on the door. Notice all of the detail in the little house, from the hand cut slat walls to the tiny curtains in the window and stone work on the chimney.

I used the Heidi Grace's  "One Sunny Day" collection manufactured by Colorbok. Heidi has a whimsical style that I have admired for a long time; and this collection inspired me to make this cute 6x6 mini.  The album is made of chipboard and it has 12 pages counting the front and back covers.

I have listed this cute Mini at my Etsy Store - Kitsnbitscraps - so if you like it and want this one of a kind mini - go to my store and check it out.

Hope you likey and dont forget to check out my etsy store KitsnbitScraps.  Happy Scrapping

Work in Progress ...

I had some time on my hands this past week (shocker) so I decided to play in my journal.  Here is a page I did, which is a work in progress.  This is just the base - I have not even begun to layer on as yet.  Me and layers, can't get enough LOL

I really love blues and greens so thought I would start my base page with those colors in mind.

To get this texture I used my crafter's workshop masks.  I have alot but I need more!  Yes, I said "need" not want "need"....



I decided to add some glitter and I used some foam stamps that I kept.  Haven't decided yet what this page will turn out to be, but Im working on it.  Sometimes it's good to get "warmed up" before starting a big project to get those creative juices going.

Enjoy
