This Layout from My Little Yellow Bicycle Website... did not list designer for credit.


I am totally LOVING this NEW line by Little Yellow Bicycle.( That's why I am putting it all on here for you to see! Every once in a while I run accross a paper line I just can't wait to get my hands on and I know exactly what I want to do with it. This is one of those lines! I love the green with the blue ... and not only that they used Brown.
That's like 3 fav's~ Great color combo and I also love how it works for boy or
girl or family. This one is definetly on my list to find at convention~ I can't wait!!!

January 11,2010 great deal!!!

I happened to see this on the AC Bailey Web site. www.acbaileydesigns.net and I thought why not I am always up for a good deal. Who knows it may even be a bunch of stuff I don't want of need. I have to say WOW!! I was totally impressed with what I got. The Goodie bag sells for $15 and I got this ....
-Prima floral embellishments (flowers)
-bazzill basic just the edges package of 20 (Ivory)
-Basic grey glazed brads (brown and greens)
- chipboard words
-pink paisley glazed brads (pretty!)
- Petaloo flower charms (nice for cards)
- American craft rub-ons (christmas but adorable)
- american craft elements metal photo turns (white)

A really great deal! The only thing is if you order one you don't know what you will get until it comes but when it does I think you will be as surprised as I was.
You can order one on your own or you can call me to order one for you. I just ordered another! Great for gift and at that price you can't loose!

Jan. 10 2005 New from My Minds Eye

I LOVE thia NEW Beloved line from My Minds Eye.It is sssoooo cute! I was lucky enough to
find it and get some with hopes to come up with some super cute Valentine layouts for my
upcoming crop. I love the mint green and peachy coral colors (pinks and reds too). I can't wait to see what I come up with!

Jan.9,2010 Layering punches.... card

These great layering puches make the cutest cards!My fiend Wendy came over today to
make a Birthday card. A vision she had in mind .... I just had to copy after seeing how cute it was. We used the 2 1/2 inch and 2 inch square punches to make these adorable cards. I can't wait to try the scalloped circle and make another one!
I used an assortment of K and Company Valentines papers and embellishments to create
the Valentine Card. Wendy used some Kaiser Craft black and whites and added some pink accents to crate hers. I think they both turned out so great!

Jan.8,2010 Smile layout

This adorable smile layout was created with The Cottage paper line by Scrap Within Reach. I also used some Thickers glitter letters and glazed brads to add a little something extra to the flowers. The flowers are Sprites from Prima. These flowers are so cute. There is a few differnt co-ordinating colors in each package and there is some with stripes and some with dots along with solids in each box. Very cute! I have these 8 boxes on hand plus one more (9 total) they sell for $5.00 a box at most stores, But I am offering them at $4.00 a box. If they sell more are available to order if in stock. For now grab them while I have them!

(FYI- the off white flowers are the back side of the dotted and striped flowers, just turn them over :)

Jan.7th,2010 Layout

Great Guy Layout! Fish On.... I loved this paper when I saw it and just had to
scrap it. I have some great big catch pictures too! I just can't decide which
one to put on it.... Keith's 21 pound trout or Dave's 40 pound Salmon???

Speaking of my guys ROLL TIDE .... congratulations ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE on a sweet
WIN! National Champs! It was great to watch my guys cheering together when it was
all over I finally thought CAMERA!!! I missed it! A great photo op - and I missed it!!!!

Scrapbook Convention is coming to Portland!!!

CK Scrapbook Convention is coming soon and I am taking the day off to go!

I LOVE Convention it is packed with tuns of new products and great ideas...

Don't forget to take a camera to take pictures of all the cool layouts!

I hope to see you all there. Friday Feb 5th and Sat. the 6th ( Products sell out

so Friday is much better than Sat. if you can swing it!!!)

Jan.5,2010 Layout

Recreate this great layout for Valentines Day.
I used Basic Grey papers and an assortment of embelishments.
I made the back scalloped page by tracing and cutting one of my favorite
pre-cut pages. ( I have a lot of papers with pretty edges - I save so that I
can use them as patterns - you just have to trace and cut them by hand.)
Try layering photo frames by adding pop up dots. This adds great
dimension and gives it a whole new look.
The heart is drawn by hand. Fold a piece of scratch paper in half, draw your heart... and
once you get the heart you like, use that for your templete to trace your heart for
your layout. Be creative... Change it up and make it you own!

Jan.4,2010 New Product ....Imaginisce I-top Brad Maker

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year! I am working on a whole new blog idea.
Here is my plan...
I am photographing ALL my layouts. Old and New!!!! I will post something
everyday. Not everyday will be a layout.Some days you may see new papers,
embellishments, tools, tips,projects or quotes for inspiration.But everyday you
will find something new regarding scrapbooking. I might be biting off more than
I can chew but it should be a great challenge.
~CROP INFORMATION~ New crop information. I am going to have one crop
weekend instead of two crops a month. There will be a $5 fee to reserve your
spot and each crop will be limited to 8. Crops will be Friday nights 6pm-11pm and
restart Saturday at 10am- 8pm ~ That's 15 hours of scrappin' a weekend.Meals will be up to
you, but beverages will be provided by me. Everyone can send their $5 in the mail or
drop it off ... deposits will reserve spots and I know there are last minute croppers
and that happens too.... but the best way to make sure there is a place for you is
to get your deposit in. I will have kits available to purchase(seasonal) and there is
always other supplies on hand. Should be a lot of fun and we won't have to clean up
Friday night we can just leave our things out and get back at it on Sat.
Jan. 2010 Crop Friday 29th and Sat.30th.

Christmas

Today was Christmas and I have to say it was perfect! The Kids are getting
older so they slept in till 8am. We then opened gifts... Nice and slow so we
could see what everyone got. In the past years it has always been a paper
flying frenzy. Keith scored a car stereo and a bunch of games for his Xbox.
Kamyn LOVES her new Ipod touch and her Uggs. Dave will be sporting a
whole new look. For those of you who know him he is a BIG Alabama fan!!!
His wardrobe is all red,black and grey. He has been teased by the guys at
work for his lack of color use and this year asked for cloths of a different color.
Everything fit and he should look pretty stylish! I got a NEW LAPTOP!!! OMG!!!
I am so excited. I can blog in my bed, on the couch....ANYWHERE!

I am really thinking about going through ALL my layouts from the 8 or so
albums and tuns that are not in albums and starting Jan. 1st post a layout a
day. What do you girls think? I am sure I have hundreds but I for sure want
to get a count first before I commit. In the mean time click on comment below
and tell me what you think???

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and I hope yours was as great as mine
was! I almost forgot my parents came for dinner and I cooked my first prime rib
and it was perfectly cooked! Made the day even more perfect!

Merry Christmas from the new laptop :-) Nancy

Beautiful 2 page layout. I used Basic Grey Indian Summer line.

thankful for them!
This 2 page layout uses papers from Creative Imaginations.
Embellished with a assortment of ribbons, buttons and
die-cuts.

Really Cool!!!

IKEA LIR FLADDRA ( HANGING FRAMES )

What a great gift for someone for Christmas!!!

I have had these laying around the craftroom with the intentions

to do something.... and I just kept putting it off.

A couple friends came over on Friday to crop and we pulled these

out and were so pleased we ran to Ikea to get more!!!

This hanging frame ... hangs 5 frames and each insert is 6x6.

I made 2~ a boy and a family one.

for the boy I used...

Crate paper Orbit kit - it has everything you needin the kit!

For the Family one I used Crate Paper Prudence Kit and

Upsy Daisy Man about town papers.

These sandwich together pretty tight so

NO thick stuff... BUMMER!!!

Stickers and die-cuts and a little ribbon.

How Cool would these be hanging from a plant hook-

In a boys room or family room?

Both sides are scraped so they really are cool!!!

Would anyone be interested in doing this as a class???

Class would include all supplies

$25.00/per kit

I would do a family one for the class and

probably a lot like this one but maybe different papers.

Right now I am just trying to get a feel for if anyone would

like to do this.
