Scribble Scrabble designs

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by!! I have 3 projects to share with you today!!!

I believe I mentioned in a previous post that I had the awesome opportunity to be guest designing for Scribble Scrabble for Sept! Let me just say how much I fell in LOVE with these papers!!!! The designs and patterns are perfect for my style... let me share my projects with you!!

#1. Cool Dude
For this page I used the Bric-A-Brac collection. I just loved how these colors and patterns went together!! I added some Magistical Memories chipboard for my title piece and a little chippie potty man as well! :)
#2. Our Day
For my second layout, I used the Nana's Trunk collection! Now this paper looks nothing like nana's trunk to me! I ADORE this collection! The colors are so vivid and fun!!
I loved all the fussy cutting possibilities here! They fit perfectly with my simple page design and helped me to finish this page just right!! I also dug out my sewing machine... glad i did!! :)This page is about our yearly shopping trip to buy school stuff... book bags, clothes, lunch boxes... all those goodies! This was DS's first year of school, so it made it an extra special day!

#3. Just a Simple Girl
This last page was created using the Simply Stylish collection. OMW I loved the colors on here! I'm a classic black white and red kinda gal! This collection was created for me!! It should be called Tina's collection! LOL!!!Again, lots of fussy cutting opportunities on here! It took some time, but i'm so glad i did it... I'm thrilled with how it turned out! I used Helmar's liquid scrap dots under my fussy cutting. It is awesome for adding just the tiniest bit of dimension!! Love it!

And here is the first page that I created using Scribble Scrabble...

Whew... that was a big post! :) Thanks so much for sticking around and checking out my work!! I am so pleased you took the time! don't forget to say HI so I know you were here! :) Then I can stop by your blog for some lovin' too! :)

Still have more goodies that I havent' shared yet, can you believe it?? :)
So, until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Upsy Daisy Goodies!

Hello All! Welcome to Fall! :) Yes, it is now OFFICIALLY here! :)

Just a quick post today to share with you a LO I did for Helmar using some Upsy Daisy goodies! I LOVE how this page turned out!!I think it's my new favorite! :)

ALMOST TWINS
Helmar products used:

Premium Craft glue holds the majority of this page together... as ALWAYS!

Liquid Scrap Dots hold my butterflies in their flying position. I also used it to hold the Maya Road flower onto the tulle bow. It helps get into all the grooves and holds it just perfectly!

Quick Fix Adhesive runner holds my photo's and journaling strips.

1/2 inch Zap dots hold my banner in place!

450 Quick Dry holds my lace trim to the banner pieces! I also used it to add the lace around the circle!

Detail shots


These photo's are of my daughter (left) and my niece (right). They look SO much alike, yet are so different!! They are both such beautiful little girls, inside and out! They live 8 hours apart, so they miss each other like crazy!!
Thanks for stopping by! For more info on this project, stop by the Helmar Blog...
Until Next time...
Happy Scrapping!!
Tina

Supplies:
Upsy Daisy Patterned paper and brads, Maya Road lace, flower and leaf pins,
Prima Lace, Ranger liquid pearls and distress ink, Tulle, Prima bling, Recollections pearls and pearl brads, Martha Stewart border punch, Momenta cardstock, And LOTS of Helmar!! :)

Scribble Scrabble meets Magistical Memories!

I am so excited!! I am Guest designer for Scribble Scrabble for the month of September! Cynthia was SO generous in what she sent me!! She sent me 5 lines to work with!!!! And WOW!! Every one of them have my name ALL OVER THEM! Well, not literally... LOL! But I fell in LOVE with these papers! I have never had the opportunity to work with Scribble Scrabble papers, as they have never been sold in my area. Boy was I missing out! They are FANTASTIC! Great quality, double sided and gorgeous colors! I'm in patterned paper heaven!! Here is the first layout I did using the Haley's Collection.
I Adore Your Curls
I LOVE the texture of this page!! Helmar Adhesives made this page SO full of depth! The Helmar liquid Scrap Dots were used on the photo, chipboard and my pleated paper! LOVE this stuff!!
I used a nesting chipboard heart from Magistical Memories on this page as well. No page is complete without some chipboard! I covered it with the patterned paper and sanded and inked the edges for the perfect mat for my photo's!
I had so much fun embellishing this page.. simple but so effective!
I loved this page so much, I created a sketch based on it for the September Sketch for Magistical Memories! Check out the details here...
Thanks so much for stopping by! I so appreciate your love... :) Tune again soon, as I have more stuff in the works! :)
Until then...
Happy Scrapping!

Magistical Memories August Sketch

Hello my friends! I am so happy that you have dropped by! I want you to know how much I appreciate you coming by and leaving your sweet comments! So often many of you have just made my day! Thank you!! ((HUGS))

I have a new project to show you today using Magistical Memories chipboard and Helmar Adhesives! It is based on my sketch for Magistical Memories August sketch challenge! This page has SO many of my favorite products and techniques!!! So it's appropriate that it's an all about me page! :)
I AM...
I used a combination of Pink Paislee and October Afternoon papers on here. Both very different paper lines, but they worked so well on this page I think!! I love all of the bright colors! I had fun pulling out the red in them by using the red alpha's (Websters Pages) and the red roses (Websters pages as well)
I used a fun bracket frame from Magistical Memories on here. I sprayed the plain chipboard frame with Helmar's V2 Vellum Adhesive. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then sprinkled with PK Glitz glitter. This adhesive holds SOOOO well! It is invisible so there is no trace of it, and it holds glitter incredibly! I then sprayed it with hairspray to hold the glitter in place... a little trick I picked up somewhere! :)
Another thing I am in love with lately is these mini roses!!! SWOON! They are by Recollections... found at Michaels they are an exact replica of Prima flowers, only a fair bit cheaper if you get them on sale!! I think I bought about 8 packages here a couple of weeks ago! Almost every color they had... and I blame/thank Tracey for showing me them!! LOL!
They are held on with the Helmar 450 Quick Dry, as is the chipboard and tulle roses. This stuff dries SO fast, and is invisible. It's better than a glue gun by far!!
Isn't that locket adorable!!?? I found it a Michaels some time ago and paid nearly nothing for a 2 pack! This is the first I've used them, but the other one will be found on another page very soon! It opens up so you can put paper or a photo inside! I put in the blue paper and then added the # stickers to the outside!
Another new addiction is this border punch! I can't do a page without some kind of border punch, and this is my newest purchase! i have adored it in the work of others I've seen, so when I had the chance to purchase it, I jumped at the chance!! :)

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Scrapping!

Sassitude!

August? What's up with that!?!? I can't believe that the kids start back to school one month from yesterday!! My oldest son starts this year... :( He's ready, but I'm not really sure if i am! :)

I have a quick layout to show you that I did for Helmar! This week's preferred partner was Fancy Pants! I got to work with the ABOUT A GIRL collection! OMW! These collections are FULL of yummy inspiration! I had SO many ideas flowing thru my head! I didn't get a lot of time to scrap those ideas yet... but I did manage to create this page in just over 1/2 an hour! That's what I LOVE about collections! Everything is right there in front of you!
SASSITUDE

For this page I used the Helmar Premium craft glue for most of it. A couple of Zapdots under the heart and wings, and the Quick Fix Adhesive runner for my journaling strips!
I seriously never thought that I would turn to a liquid glue for my scrapbooking adhesive! Any that I have used in the past ALWAYS buckled and rippled my papers! Not the Helmar Adhesives! (And I don't just say that cause I have to! LOL!) I seriously love the stuff!

Supplies:
Helmar Premium Craft Glue, 1/2 inch black Zap Dots, Quick Fix Adhesive Runner
Fancy Pants ABOUT A GIRL collection pack
Martha Stewart Butterfly punch
Ranger Stickles
K&CO flowers


Thanks for stopping by! As always, i love and appreciate your comments! :)
Until Next Time, Happy Scrappin!

First of all, I FINALLY have a winner for my RAK!! The winner is comment #10, thanks to Random.org!! That means MEL W is the winner!!!
We'll be in touch Mel! :) Congrats, and thanks for being such a great supporter of my blog! :)

I have a layout to show you that I designed using Momenta's PURE line. i ADORE this line! It's just so me!! :)
I had fun playing with the glimmer mist too! It didn't turn out exactly as I would have liked... but that's the joy of misting, right? :)
Tender Kiss
This is a LO using my sisters engagement photo... Her photographer did an AMAZING job!!! Jason MacLean.
I had fun making these little flowers as well! I used some ribbon, stitched it into a circle and added a button... SUPER easy, but OH so cute!!

I've also been enjoying using this lacy border punch... I LOVE that the leftover piece makes such a neat edge for the top and bottom of my page as well!
This page was super simple... but I love that! It really helps to put the focus on the beautiful photo!
Thanks for stopping by!! I'm off to scrap some more! :)
Happy Scrappin!! :)

Lots of creating... and some more fun news!!

Hello all!! July 3rd was my last post! Man... where has July gone!!??!!?? It has FLOWN by!!!

First of all, i want to share with you that I have been invited to be a Guest Designer for Scribble Scrabble for Sept!! YAHOO! I'm so excited! They have some beautiful lines coming out!! YAY!!!

Also have lots of recent work to show you! I'll start with one that I created for Magistical Memories using the sketch I created for the July challenge!
UNSURE
I used the beautiful swirl chipboard that you see as well as some hearts and a circle. Glimmer mist and Making Memories paints created the colors. I adore these October Afternoon papers!
Love machine stitching and buttons....
Here you can read the journaling... It was his Kindergarten orientation day. He really was excited but this look on his face shows me that there were feelings inside that he was just not sharing... that's the thing about boys eh?.... so many feelings they just won't share...
The entire page was created using Helmar Premium Craft glue except for the chipboard... I used the 450 Quick dry from Helmar for that! FAB-U-LOUS!!
I have more to show you... but my time is up!! kids are at the table eating supper... LOL!!!
Hope you're having a FAB summer!!!
I'll be back soon with the winner of my RAK as well!!!

Until Next Time... Happy Scrapping!!

Camera Shy **Magistical Memories

I am a little bit behind this month with my sketch creation for June for Magistical Memories... but it's ok, because I'm pleased with the LO that I created!! :) The June sketch was created by Amy Teets and it was an awesome one!
It is such a versatile sketch and there are SO many possibilities!!! Here is what I created with it.

Camera Shy

I had fun playing with this beautiful Magistical Memories Crazy Daisy border chipboard! I sprayed it with 2 colors of Tattered angels glimmer mist and one shimmers... it gave it a really cool look! I just love the way it shimmers!! I added pearls to the centers to give it a finished look.
No LO is complete without some fussy cutting and stickles... Oh, and some Liquid Pearls!!
This entire LO was done using the Helmar Premium Craft Glue! If you're like me, you always thing that liquid glue will ripple your pages... Well, I don't think that way any more!! This glue is liquid but there are not wet marks, no ripples and best of all... your stuff doesn't move! It's fabulous! The only thing i didn't use it on with this page was the journaling strips... I just like the Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive runner for this...
It's a little late for you to enter the June Sketch contest at Magistial Memories... but it's PERFECT timing to enter the July sketch challenge!! Here is the sketch...
Drop by Magistical Memories forum to see the details of the challenge!!

Don't forget about the RAK I will be drawing for!!! Just become a follower and leave a comment here...!

So... until next time... Happy Scrapping!!!

Helmar and Scrap-Tastic!

The most recent project that I created for Helmar USA was done using the July kit from Scrap-Tastic! It is called Scrap-Tacular... and it was so fun to work with!! Check it out!!
Isn't it awesome?? So many fun things to play with!! I didn't get the entire kit, but what i did get was SO much fun to play with!! Here is the LO I created with it!
Mr. Sleepy Head
There are so many fun little embellishments with this kit, that I got to dig out a bunch of different Helmar Adhesives to use!! I used the Premium Craft Glue to adhere my papers together. I dug into the trusty 450 Quick Dry to adhere the chipboard and trim. Couldn't resist using the 1/2 inch round zapdots to add some dimension to the heart. Always use the Quick Fix Adhesive runner for my journaling strips.
And last but not least I used the Gemstone glue for the first time!!When I applied it to the back of my stars it came out white, I put too much on, and it squirted out around my stars! Oh great I thought!! But when it dried... it disappeared! No sights of glue to be seen! Yay for Helmar!
Thanks for stopping by!! Like what you see in this kit? Go grab one for yourself! You'll be glad you did!
All supplies on this page were from the Scrap-Tastic July kit except for:Prima bling, Clearsnaps
smooch, Websters Pages alpha's.

Until Next time... Happy Scrapping!!

Happy Birthday Canada... And a little something to share!

Happy Canada Day all!!! I know I am a day late, but I wanted to share these photo's from yesterday!

But before I do, I want to let you know that I have a RAK up for grabs!! I am starting to get organized... Thanks to Simply Renee! :) So I have lots of goodies to give away!! Want a chance to win some? Here's what I want ya to do...

*Become a follower of my blog.
*Post a comment in this thread.

That's it? Yep, that's it!! I'll give you until July 9th and then I'll choose a winner!!


Now, on to the Canada Day festivities...

We went in to Fredericton to go out for supper with Justin's Nephew and his girlfriend, and his other nephew.

My Mother in Law kept the 2 middle boys so that was great! We just took the 2 oldest and the baby. We went to Jungle Jims for supper... YUMMY!!!

Right around 10:00 as we were about to pay and head down to the waterfront for the fireworks, the skies opened up and it started to pour rain! SO disappointing!!! Too late to go to the movies too... So we were homeword bound. Oh well... maybe next year? We had fun regardless!!
I painted their faces with... scrapbooking paint! I used the Red and White from my Scrapbook Sally paints! LOL!!! Wasn't sure if it would wash off ok, but today they are back to normal! WHOOT!!

So, I'll be back with some pages to share... I have a couple... but you'll have to wait! :)
Until Then... Happy Scrapping!!

Extra Special

Hey all! Summer is now officially here! School is out! WAHOO! No more lunches, catching the bus, schedules... I'd say no more early mornings but the baby may not go along with that one! :)

Today I have a project to share with you using some FABULOUS Crate Paper!! Yep, they have a Design Team Call going on right now, so it's a great time to be using their AWESOME products, don't ya think? :) Love their stuff... so unique and so versatile! :)

I also used some of the LETTERBOX STAMPS from MyStampBox on this one as well! This is my last project for MyStampBox... but of course I'll still be using their fabulous stamps!!

EXTRA SPECIAL
I did this page to remind my only daughter that being the only girl in our family makes her extra special! She wanted this last baby to be a girl SOO badly... but when she realized that it was not and that we are not having any more... she was a bit disappointed to say the least. Being the only girl amongst 4 boys gives her a very special place, and just makes her EXTRA SPECIAL!
Here is a closeup of the stamping... I used the LETTERBOX stamp set. I added some stickles to them to give it some extra PIZAZZ! They are also raised using Helmar's 1/2 inch round Zapdots. Had fun making this banner...
As you can tell in this shot, I used the Helmar Zapdots in more places than just the title! I loved raising my patterned paper as well as my photo using them! For my fussy cutting I used the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to give some dimension to the outside edges of my flowers. This works so awesomely! (not a word... but it works! :) )
So there you have it!! An Extra Special page for my Extra Special girl!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Until next time... Happy Scrapping!!
~Tina~
Supplies:
Crate Paper PP, Chipboard accents and diecut stickers, MyStampBox Stamps, Ranger stickles and liquid pearls, American Crafts thickers, Around The Block Paper ribbon, Prima Pearls, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, Helmar 1/2 inch round Zapdots, Helmar Premium Craft Glue

It's SUMMERTIME BABY!!

WHOOT! Well, it's not OFFICIALLY summer, but it SURE felt like it today! It was HOT out!! Summer is officially 2 days away... but bah humbug on that! I say it's summertime now! LOL!!!

Anywho... I'm not here to argue with the calender! But I DO have a page to share with you! I created it for the Helmar USA blog. This week were featured Kiki Arts! Their papers are so unique, bright and funky! Once I settled on a paper and a theme for my page, the rest came together so easy! The Momenta cardstock was great for this, and their alpha's?... to DIE for! I'll be ordering lots more of these!
CUTE AS A BUG

I LOVE using ribbon now... wasn't a big fan before, as i always had to stitch it down. No more!! The Helmar 450 quickdry is all I need! Seriously... the pleats in my ribbon on this page were made completely using the 450! And they hold! No wet marks on the ribbon, and no letting go! I'm SO pumped over this! 450 and ribbon were a match made in heaven! :)

I also had fun with the Jillibean Soup journaling sprouts! I cut the small ones apart and used them as a funky edge! Then another big one on the top for my journaling... I KNOW!! I can hardly believe it either... a page WITHOUT journaling strips!! Sheesh!! What will i do next!?!? LOL!Do you SEE those ladybugs? They are a stamp from Bella BLVD! I had so much fun with these! I stamped them using red ink onto cream cardstock. Then I used my Sharpee to color in the black parts. After cutting it out and adding them to my page using the 1/2 inch black round Zapdots by Helmar, I added a layer of sparkle using Stickles! They are SO much fun! They aren't so sparkly IRL... it's just the angle of the camera... but these little bugs are now my friend! :)

These pics are of my second to youngest son... I just love them... he's as cute as.... well... as cute as a bug! :)

Thanks for dropping by!
Until Next time... HAPPY SCRAPPING!

My Baby's first page

This is my first page I created for my sweet baby boy. He is now one month and 3 days old! WHERE has the time gone!!!???

In this photo he is 3 days old... I just love the squishy lips!! :)

SPECIAL GIFT
We named him Jesse... which means GIFT. So he is my special gift. Even though we did not plan him... we are so thankful and blessed to have him!
This week I have 2 old friends... both couples have recently adopted brand new babies. Both are having SERIOUS health complications. My heart is broken for them... as of yesterday one couple was told that it was pretty much over... only to find out today that things are improving! God answers prayer, and I know that these little ones are being prayed for by so many!
So when I hold my beautiful healthy baby this week, i am overcome with how blessed I am... God is good!

I created this page for Helmar USA. Their adhesive is second to none, and they have the perfect selection to suit your needs!!
On this page I used the QuickFix Adhesive runner for the majority of the paper and photo's. I used the 450 Quickdry for the scalloped strips on the top and bottom and my circles, and a 1/2 inch circle Zap Dot for the butterfly! No fancy techniques... nothing special to do... just use it and it works like a charm!

I also had fun creating lots of different edges on this page. I used 2 different border punches, a scalloped edged paper, a wave and some circle rings. I love the interest it gave the page! How many different edges can you use on your next page?

I guarantee this is not the last page you will see of this little guy! :) Hold your little ones a little but tighter and a little bit longer tonight... I know I did...
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrapping!

Supplies:
Adhesive: Helmar USA Patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket Alpha's: Basic Grey and Pink Paislee Flowers: Prima Ranger Liquid Pearls Dollar Store Bling and butterfly

Momenta Reveal

Hello all!
I apologize for being so neglectful of my poor little blog. I have been creating though... so I have some goodies to share!!
I'd like to share my May creations for Momenta with you! May you ask? Yes, I received my box from them on June 1st... so I'm a bit behind! LOL! But none the less... I do have some goodies to share!!
Altered Candy Container
This first project is an altered Candy cone that DH got me chocolates in for Christmas! I kept the cardboard container because I knew I wanted to recreate it!! And I did! I used the Black Tie line from Momenta! Beautiful!
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
Another creation using the black tie line. Added a splash of green for color. I adore the chipboard embellishments in this line... those flowers are gorgeous and none too girly either! And those chipboard letters... SWOON!! I adopted the idea of the stitched circle and buttons from my scrappy crush Amanda Muirhead (Who just made the Prima DT I might add!! WHOOT!)
This is my middle son... who changes moods like the wind! Happy, sad, giddy mad... all in about 3 seconds! LOL! He's a complex little guy though... never quite know what's going on in that curly little head of his... :)
EXPLORE
This LO is probably my least favorite of my May creations. It's a bit different style for me in some ways... but i still like it! :) This was created using the WISH YOU WERE HERE Page kit from Momenta. I don't do a lot of traveling but thought that I could incorporate these embellies into a page about the journey of life.
I also used my favorite stamp set from My StampBOX on this page!! The Wishing you Sunshine clouds! LOVE THEM!!

Beautiful You
This is my favorite page from this series. It is of my beautiful sister. I adore the colors here... LOVE the Damask shapes and those puffy words are too cool! Love that I could bend them to go around my circle!!

And that is what i have to share with you today!! I am now anxious to put in my order for more new Momenta goodies! SO much more that I want!!! You can order your own goodies here...

So, until Next time... HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!
