<br />
I am not missing and I am not forgetting Camp Scrap!<br />
<br />
I just got a tad bit side tracked. :o)<br />
<br />
I was so inspired by Camp Scrap, (and using up my scraps), that I made a card out of scraps. I was SO HAPPY with the card, it made me want to do something I have yet to try. Submit my card to Scrapbook and Cards today. I know....it is a long shot, but you have to try!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I got out the rules for submitting and discovered they are taking submissions for Fall. Well it really is not a Fall card, and I am also supposed to list the supplies used. The scraps I used are really from a long time ago, and try as I might, I cannot for the life of me remember what scraps they are. <br />
<br />
I loved my design so much, I decided to make it with Fall paper. So I got out some My Minds Eye and went to work. I had so much fun, I made two cards AND a layout to submit! That is where my time has gone. <br />
<br />
Cross your fingers! <br />
<br />
I am going to include a picture of my original card...please don't share this one, as I used this design for the cards I submitted. (Not that I have a million followers anyway)<br />

<br />
I am excited to get finished with work, so I can return to Camp Scrap with May Flaum! :o)<br />
<br />
Anyway, today I will share a doodle. Camp Scrap did doodling on Wednesday. I am not much of a doodler, so I was racking my brain on what could I do? My doodles are typically kind of ugly, and I don't like to make ugly things. I remembered I had a Doodle Genie from Chatter Box, from back in the day. (I loved Chatter Box) It was still in the package, unopened and unused. I thought this sounded like a fun alternative, and I was using up what I had once more. So I got the Doodle Genie out of the package, and started in. I had a ton of fun, using the new glitter gel pens I got for Christmas from my husband. I also used a little bit of stickles, and little bit of Prima Metallic water color paints and some color shine spritz. It was just plain silly fun!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Anyway I decided I was going to dry my doodles quickly with my heat tool before I removed the Doodle Genie. OOPS! Doodle Genie's are NOT Stencils! I quickly Melted this one. :o(<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I learned a good lesson, but no more Doodle Genie. <br />
<br />
I also had good company at Camp Scrap. Ashley decided to join me, and also decided she loves Iced Caramel Macchiato's as much as I do!! <br />
<br />

So doodle time was a great success. <br />
<br />
Have a super weekend! Hugs xoxoxoxx <br />

It is actually 3 cards. I can't just make one card, because I know I will probably be unhappy with one and want to throw it away. So I always make two. I made a third card just from left over scraps. I used Daisy D's scraps....does anyone remember Daisy D's?? That paper is from 2006, and still as cute as ever. May inspired me to use what I have and just have fun with it, which is just what I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am working on Doodling from yesterday. Camp Scrap is just plain fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This blog is in honor of my best friend and scrapbook sister, Rita Kienholz. She passed away in her sleep on Thursday. She was only 57.<br />
We spoke last Tuesday, and we had one of our usual good talks. We spoke about getting together soon to scrapbook, and how much we missed and loved each other. She was going to come by my work...she had a "birthday/christmas" present she wanted to drop off. She ALWAYS had presents for me, and ALWAYS pretended it was either for my birthday or Christmas. She was the most loving, giving, and encouraging friend a person could ever have. It was nearly impossible for me to give her a present, (scrapbook present), as she had it all. If there was a new ink, she had to have every color. She loved to collect scrapbook supplies. When Julie Nutting came out with this Rita Stamp, I bought it as quickly as I could, so that I could give her something she did not have and surprise her. I bought her the stamp, and made her the paper doll. As always with anything I did, she thought it was spectacular, and thanked me more than once. <br />
We met 12 years ago, when I was a manager at our local scrapbook store, Scrapbook Avenue. We became friends right away. When the store closed 2 years later, we were still friends. I always said she was my best find at the scrapbook store. :o)<br />

We went to crops, cropped (usually mostly talked) at her house, and were just genuinely happy to spend time together. She LOVED to be a VIP. (she really deserved to be)<br />

She was the best of friends to have. I will miss her every day. If you have a friend or loved one that means the world to you, give them a call, make a date to get together. Make and treasure as many memories as you can.<br />

<br />
Today I finished my layout... the final thing I needed to submit my application for Julie Nutting's design team. I have never wanted to be on a design team more that this one. You all know how much I love paper dolls. <br />
<br />
Here is my layout. <br />
<br />

<br />
I also used Julie Nutting's new paper. I LOVE it!!!<br />
<br />
All submissions must be in by April 25th, so I still have a couple of weeks to wait. If I do not make it, I know that the people who get a spot love paper dolls as much as I do, and will no doubt be extremely talented. <br />
<br />
I just had to try though. <br />
Have a happy week ahead!!<br />
Hugs,<br />

<br />
It has been such a long time since I have been on my blog. That is about to change right now! I am excited, and pumped and I am going to get my party started. :o)<br />
<br />
Thursday I saw a post on Facebook that has got me fired up and ready to work hard. <br />

For those of you who know me well, you know this post would make me do a happy dance. I love paper dolls, and have loved them since I was a small girl. I discovered Julie Nutting paper doll stamps about 2 years ago, and have been making them ever since. <br />
During my hiatus from my blog, the paper dolls have been my go to fun craft. I have made MANY of them. I have mentioned on more than one occasion, that if Julie Nutting ever had a design team call, I was going to try, and do my best. <br />
So with that being said, for the next few weeks I am going to bombard my blog with everything paper doll. I have never wanted to be on a design team more in my life than on this one. It will be like wining the lottery to get on this team. There are so many super talented paper doll makers out there. But you never know. I have the heart for paper dolls, and don't want it to be a forgotten art from days gone by. I want girls to still have the fun of cutting them out, and designing their clothes, just like I did when I was young. <br />
Please, if you are not a member of my blog, I ask you to please become one. It would mean a lot to me to have your support, and also look better to have more people following. I need a little fan club right now. <br />
Thank you all for reading this and listening to me over the years. <br />

<br /></div>
<div>
It appears as if the last time I blogged was on Memorial Day!!! Wowee!!! WAY too long!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have still been creating, just not been blogging. To be truthful, I have been discouraged about my blog, discouraged, trying for design teams. I questioned if it was worth all the extra effort. I love creating, and it just seemed like I was not having any success with my blog, or getting any further in my beloved scrapbook world. I was asking, (even paying) for advice on how to get to the next level in my craft, and not getting a bit further. My daughter has even offered to help me build a new and improved blog. I have been on the fence about what to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a couple of recent projects:</div>

Here is a card I created trying a new line from Blue Fern Studios. They have really nice paper...extra thick. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well the good news, is I have decided to keep trying and not give up!! I saw another design team call for Dear Lizzy. It was very inviting and encouraging, so I thought I would try. Please wish me luck and cross your fingers. Here is a link to their blog if you would like to check them out. P. S. SUPER cutest alert!!!! http://elizabethkartchner.com/</div>

<br />
I know I have been missing in action the last few weeks. I have been busy, (for me) and have not been creating too much. But my social life has calmed down a bit, so I am back at being creative. <br />
<br />
My last post, I told you we were going to go see my daughter Melodie, in Mary Poppins. She was awesome, and stole the show on many occasions. She played Mrs. Brill, and I could not have more proud and in awe of her. <br />

My son Justin came home for Mother's Day weekend. It was SO nice to have the whole family together. We had a great visit, and it went way too fast. He got me a Fit Bit, so I have been walking up a storm. He always makes sure I have so much fun, and spoils me way more than I deserve. My daughter got me my happy girly stuff...scrapbook supplies and good smelling creams, sprays and lotions. I LOVE Mother's Day!! :o)<br />

So this week I have been working on a tag that my friend Rita sent me. She is always coming up with interesting things for me to check out. This tag was a challenge with Swirlydoos. They had a tutorial making a tag using aluminum foil. I honestly did not think I would be able to make this, but decided, for my friend Rita's sake, (who thinks I can do anything) I would give it a try. <br />

<br />
Also, I am submitting some creations to Maya Road, to try for their design team. I know you must think I am silly...always trying to get on a design team. But scrapping really is my passion, and I have been told by some pretty wonderful people to NEVER GIVE UP!! :o) <br />

<br />
I hope everyone is having a super wonderful day. :o)<br />
<br />
I had a good week. I was very surprised to find out I won a challenge with the layout I shared with you in the challenge with Paper Issues. I was very excited about that, which only spurred me on to creating more! Hooray!! <br />
<br />
Paper Issues has a "Sketchy Saturday" challenge, which was such a lot of fun to make. Here is the copy of the sketch. I would encourage everyone that can, take a look at their blog...they have some AMAZING layouts over there! http://www.paperissues.blogspot.com/<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK0bkcGWUP4RNUI2rqnZ1uTzv2hKBb0d3XZr0ZOb5rAHPuMPZYZMn0HQYzKNeNFXAlNtryMvIUGTegzVhKCbL57pqZoxLQAAUH_uD82A_E1g0Vkqyp6o0W_n6nQP-6zhj_F7zKElE0RVf5/s1600/April+Sketch+PI.jpg" /><br />
Here is my take on the sketch, which I am entering in the challenge. This is a picture of when I went to see my son Justin, when he picked me up at the airport. I was so happy to see him. As soon as we get together it is like we have never been apart. :o)<br />
I used the Kaisercraft "Bonjour" Collection. I covered some chipboard, and did a little distressing. VERY FUN!<br />
<br />

<br />
They also had a bonus card sketch, which I did too! I used scraps from the same collection.<br />
<br />

<br />
Again, I encourage everyone to take a look at Paper Issues. They have some great products, the crew is super encouraging, and everyone in general is just friendly and nice. <br />
<br />
Happy Easter to one and all. <br />
Hugs!<br />

<br />
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend...I know I did! I had a lot of fun this past week and TWO weekends creating for a special Paper Issues Online Crop. Oh my gosh, did I get inspired! They have the greatest group of ladies who are all very encouraging. The challenges were great fun, and I got a lot created. <br />
<br />
One of the challenges was to make a creation with sparkle. Well I thought it was the perfect chance to combine two challenges. I ordered some chipboard embellishments from a company called "Creative Embellishments". I have to say, they have some of the most intricate chipboard pieces I have seen. They have their March challenge going so I thought I would play along and "Sparkle" up some of the chipboard pieces I had purchased for their challenge. http://creativeembellishments.com/blog/?p=4432 this is the link to their challenge.<br />
<br />
Here is the layout I made for both of the challenges.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42J-Ql5dT-cOFEviV8oEk5zWQGjWt-iQt8AIoKEsdJ89kYG_ufBYoMWUgJXPNPtgJJUfen1z5L-sCFai2OOjIYWl1nyNidP82c-J_tOiSq4arLsaJPL7tQRm84SWxQCeil1ETho07IVl_/s1600/FullSizeRender+(95).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42J-Ql5dT-cOFEviV8oEk5zWQGjWt-iQt8AIoKEsdJ89kYG_ufBYoMWUgJXPNPtgJJUfen1z5L-sCFai2OOjIYWl1nyNidP82c-J_tOiSq4arLsaJPL7tQRm84SWxQCeil1ETho07IVl_/s1600/FullSizeRender+(95).jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I love my honey!!! Anyway, I was inspired by the butterflies on the Creative Embellishment's challenge, and bought some Butterfly Flourishes from them. I also purchased some intricate Butterflies, but decided not to use them on this particular layout. I used some circle chipboard, (up in the upper left hand corner) that they sent me for placing an order. What a great treat! <br />
<br />
I painted the Butterfly Flourishes with gold crackle paint and then sprinkled them with gold glitter. Isn't glitter fun? I think they look just right with the Prima "Princess" line. <br />
<br />
If you are looking for some fun chipboard pieces, I would recommend Creative Embellishments. <br />
<br />
Have a happy week!!<br />
Hugs.<br />

<br />
I am sure you have been wondering where I have been and what I have been up to the last couple of weeks. <br />
<br />
Well actually I was in a bit of a slump. I was kind of having a bit of a pity party. I felt my scrapping wasn't up to par. Then I had a small car accident. So really I was just a little down in the dumps. Then I got an email from Paper Issues, telling me about their online crop. I thought, "what the heck I will give it a try!" I have to tell you that was the most fun online crop that I have ever participated in. Paper Issues, has a great group of talented ladies. They are very supportive, and so many ladies participated in it...there was inspiration everywhere!<br />
<br />
If you still want to participate, they have lots of challenges to get involved in, and they are not due until 3/29/15. So there is still time to join in and have fun!<br />
<br />
Here is one of the layouts I created.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is a layout I made of the fun I had with my son Justin, when I went to visit last December. I used Carta Bella's "It's a Celebration" line. I made some tags, and cut my photos into the tag shapes. <br />
<br />
Thank you Paper Issues for helping me to get my paper crafting mojo back. I am back and creating. :o)<br />
Hugs xo<br />

<br />
I hope you all had a relaxing weekend, and have a wonderful week ahead. :o)<br />
<br />
Friday night my husband and I were treated to a delicious dinner at 5th Street Steakhouse by my sweet friend Rita, and her equally sweet husband Milton. As great as our dinner was, ( I love a good ribeye) the company was even better. We have been trying to get together for years to do this, and we finally did. We had an awesome evening, catching up on each other's families, and just having fun in general.<br />
<br />
I met Rita at a scrapbook store of course. We have been friends for 11 years now, but it seems like we have known each other forever. Every time Rita and I get together, she always has presents for me and this evening was no exception. Holy Cow, did she have some cool things in her special bag this time. She is just the best friend ever.<br />
<br />
I was trying to get her something special this time, and I found the perfect present. Julie Nutting recently came out with a paper doll named "Rita"! That made me so happy. Here is my version of Rita, dedicated to my dear friend. <br />

I used the Prima "Princess" Collection for this tag. The reason is because one of my gifts from Rita was the Princess Collection...one of my favorites ever! I decided I was going to use it for this tag. <br />
<br />
It was like Christmas for me on Friday night and I will show you why.<br />

<br />
I am about ready to call it a day here, but I was checking my emails, and saw that a company called Die-Namites Cutting Dies had a call for their design team. Because I love dies, and die-cutting machines so much I thought, "why not try"? <br />
<br />
In case you have not heard of Die-Namites Cutting Dies, they are a company that makes in the USA...you know how happy that makes me...100 percent steel dies. They are some of the cutest dies I have seen. <br />
<br />
I thought I would share some of what I am submitting to them. Wish me luck! :o)<br />

<br />
Yesterday I had a great day in the scrapbook room. I made a couple of cards using up my scraps, and then thought I had better get cookin' on my Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015. There is not much of February left!<br />
<br />
At first I was a little stressed out about this tag, I have to admit. I threw two of them in the making in the garbage. I guess I was having a problem with the different types of layering/quilting. I kind of tend to want things exact, and this project was so much simpler than I was trying to make it. So, after I decided to relax and just start laying pieces on the tag (like Tim said in the tutorial), it all came together. That was when the fun began. There were so many fun layers, and tasks to do on this tag. I look forward every month to see what Tim is going to bring to the table to help me stretch my horizons in papercrafting. I truly believe it is about having an open mind in our craft. You can't stay stuck in what worked back when you started out. This hobby is always changing. I love to bring what I know, and what I am learning to every project I am tackling. <br />
<br />

I encourage you all to take a look at Tim Holtz's blog when you have a chance to look at all the wonderful tags that have been created from Tim's tutorial. They are all beautiful...truly inspirational. <br />

<br />
I have the day off today...HOORAY!!!! I love having an extra day off. I get to play and create today. :o)<br />
<br />
With that said, I decided to work on something I love. Paper Dolls! :o) I saw that Julie Nutting had come out with some new paper dolls. I would love to get them all, especially the new decade ones. But for now, I have to placate myself with one. Julie has come out with some that I consider the "Barbie" and "Ken" of the paper dolls. The dolls and clothes are separate stamps, which leads me to believe there are more outfits to come. Yeah!! Anyway, the girl's real name is Marisol, and if you get the boy, his name is Adam. These dolls are named after actual people who work at Prima.<br />

<br />
And last, these are Julie's Watercolor Pencils, and waterbrush. I used them on the dolls skin, and hair on one of the dolls. They work very smoothly, and I would recommend them if you love working with watercolors. Julie has four different sets of pencils. This set is the Hair and Skin Tone set.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions on these products or projects, I would be happy to answer them for you. <br />
<br />
I hope you all have a very happy day. Thanks for looking today. Hugs :o)<br />

<br />
I truly have been in Valentine mode (heaven) this week. I love Valentine's Day! I have loved it since I was a girl making valentines for my brothers and sisters. This new Authentique line "Crush", with it's old vintage feel, has made me think of Valentine's Day when I was a little younger. :o) I am really enjoying this line.<br />
<br />
Here are a few more cards using this line.<br />

<br />
I have had a fun creative day today. :o) I decided I had better get working on my Valentine's Day Cards. Valentine's Day is Saturday, so you still have a few days left to make some cards for everyone you love. <br />
<br />
I have made these cards using Authentique's "Crush" line. Love it! It is cute, vintage and the colors are great! I have a million ideas in my head for this collection. <br />

<br />
It's Saturday, and I am still in my pajamas, and creating up a storm! Hooray! What a great day I have had. After a very hard week at work, it has been nice to do what makes me the happiest...hanging out at home in my scrapbook area with my honey and my kitties. :o)<br />
<br />
Today I created a layout with a picture of my dad when he was a boy I used the Prima "Printery" Collection. I thought it was a good collection for this vintage photo.<br />

If I was to say what my signature style is, I would definitely veer towards layering and distressing. They are some of my most fun to work on.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of some of the layering and distressing<br />

I also was able to do some stitching on this page. My honey got me a new PINK sewing machine and had it all hooked up for me to play with. I am going to give it a try on some cards today. :o) What a sweet supportive husband I have!<br />

<br />
I think that Saturday is my most favorite day of the week. I can stay home and hang out with my honey and my kitties. I can wear jeans or jammies if I want. Most of all, I can scrapbook and create as much as I want! Hooray!!!!!<br />
<br />
Thank you all for being so encouraging during the last challenge I participated in for Paper Smooches. I did not get chosen to be the guest designer. That is okay with me though. I had fun creating with their digi stamps, learned something new, and got some more experience under my belt. Also, it got me back into my blog...one of my resolutions this year, so that makes it a win for me. :o)<br />
<br />
On to my next challenge. <br />
<br />
My Cyber-friend, ( I have never met her in person) Heather Leopard, is a guest on My Scraps and More. She has created the sketch for their monthly challenge.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Heather is super talented,and I admire her work very much. You can imagine I was pretty excited to participate in this challenge. Here is my take on the sketch.<br />

This is a layout of my sister Karen, that passed away. She always made everyone happy, and I am a better person because she was my sister. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you think. I love to get feedback. :o)<br />
<br />
Oh...by the way! Heather said that My Scraps and More is having a big sale right now. You might want to head over there and check it out.<br />
