Justin’s Baseball Layout for Paper House Productions

April 29, 2016April 22, 2016Leave a comment

Of the 100’s of baseball pictures I’ve taken throughout Justin’s years of playing baseball,

this is one of my favorites. Under the lights on a warm summer day.

I don’t even remember if he scored. (I do remember we got creamed.)

Justin decided to get a little creative and added a galaxy background to the picture.

We framed it as an 11 x 14 for his room.

Now that he’s done with baseball, I miss being a Baseball Mom.

Here’s what I used:

two sheets of Baseball Tags 12″ Double Sided Scrapbook Paper (front and back)
Baseball 12” Cardstock Stickers

Climbing on the “Really Big Rocks” with Warren

April 15, 2016April 9, 2016Leave a comment

On a warm afternoon in March, I got the chance to play with Warren outside all by himself.

We played basketball for a little while and then he was off to climb on the “really big rocks”.

Under the tree, in our front yard we have a grouping of big rocks.

When your a two year old little boy it’s the perfect place to climb.

It was such a beautiful day, we played outside for over an hour.

I mixed a variety of Paper House Collections to create this fun layout.

From the Faith Collection to Sports and Travel. They all work well with each other.

I cut a tree silhouette out of brown cardstock and rubbed Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage photo

and outlined the tree with a black marker to give it some dimension.

I printed the rocks clip art onto grey cardstock and cut out.

Here’s what I used for my layout:

The Beautiful Monochromatic Colors of Colorways

April 1, 2016February 7, 20231 Comment

If you love beautiful monochromatic colors and patterns…

then you’ll love the new paper collections from Paper House Productions called ColorWays.

Today I’m sharing a couple of cards I made using the ColorWays collection for the Paper House

Productions Design Team. My “beautiful Memories” patchwork card was made using the “Atlantis”

collection of lovely turquoise and blues.

This next card is a birthday card I made for my niece using the “Flamingo” collection.

A fun loving pink collection. It’s so easy to make cards with these perfectly coordinated patterns.

Today, I’m joining the Paper House Design Team for a Easter Blog Hop.

For this hop, we were all given adorable Easter stickers along with the Faith Paper Crafting Kit.

I was racking my brain trying to come up with a cute Easter Bunny layout

(ready to steal pictures from my daughter-in-laws Facebook page) when it hit me.

Why not make a card instead.

Easter’s so much more than candy and eggs.

The Faith kit came with lovely white puffy words that wasn’t quite right for this card.

So…. I used my Tsukineko StazOn Midi Ink Pad, Spiced Chai(which is permanent)

along with an ink applicator and rubbed brown ink onto the white letters.

I used the “HOPE anchors the soul” sticker and stuck it onto a small scalloped

circle. I mounted the circle onto the corner of the card.

A simple card of encouragement. (who doesn’t need that?)

Would you like a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Paper House?

Good Luck and Happy Hopping!

At the Lake…

March 11, 2016March 17, 2016Leave a comment

I recently asked my daughter Stephanie to send me some pictures for a family album I was working on.

Stephanie sent me these lovely pictures of her and her husband Zach at the lake.

His parents own a little place by the lake in Conover, Wisconsin that they love to visit.

I love these pictures. It looks so peaceful there. (I want to visit.)

I find it hard to believe that she took these beautiful pictures with her phone.

The “At the Lake” layout is my first Design Team project for Paper House Productions.

When it comes to scrapbooking, I consider myself to be fairly simple. I like layers and clean lines.

I used a variety of Paper House Products from several different collections on this layout.

I love how the Paper House collections work well with each other.

Pink Birthday Party Frame 4299

A quick share today of a Pretty Pink Birthday Party Sign…

I made the sign using the Deflecto Craft Frame, Pink Border, 8.5 x 11 Inches (69771CR)

from Deflecto Craft Solutions and the new Flamingo ColorWay paper and stickers from

Paper House Productions. I love the way they look like they were made for each other.

After the Party is over, add a couple cute photo’s of the birthday girl for a fun memory.

Happy Monday Everybody!
