Gettin' crafty

As tired as I've been the past few weeks, I've tried to fit in a little "me" time. Here's what I've been up to...

I'd been meaning to scrapbook Jacob's birthday from last year. It was on my To Scrap list.  :) Jacob took these pictures, and picked out the background paper and 3-D embellisments from Archiver's in NE.

One of my 4 Rebeccas asked me to cut out some letter Bs for her. I used my Cameo and scraps.

B is for Becca Brockway (or Becca Kubo, or Becca Anderson, or Becca Ren)  :)

My sister Amy just earned her CNA in Nursing (Hooray!!!) so I wanted to send her a card. This is how I did it.

I had this pack of blank card bases from Basic Grey, and I picked the orange one because I liked the scallop edge at the bottom.

I added some rosey red cardstock to the bottom, and some green to the inside to help show off the scallop.

I've had these tissue flowers from my monthly scrapbook class and I've never used them. I doubt I'll ever put them on a page because they are too puffy. I used one, pulled off 1 layer, and layered it over a circle sticker. A brad in the middle finishes it off. (on the bottom right corner)

These toothpick flags are pretty popular right now. I decided they would look nice sticking up behind the tissue flower. I put white cardstock behind a "Time to Celebrate" clear diecut to help it stand out, and glued it to the side.


I attached everything and added her name in stickers to the flag. All done!

Here are the notepads and cards I made for my friend Karra to clebrate her marriage.

I started with 2 blank notebooks I bought at Target a LONG time ago.

I decided to use this vintage-y paper from Crate Paper Co.
