I really spring cleaned this time. LOL My house is almost completely empty. We have decided after several years to move down South! I have been super busy with all the changes that have taken place and am finally settling in somewhat. The home we purchased needs to be completely gutted so my family and I are staying at my mothers home until that project is completed and livable! I don't have all my scrapbooking stuff at the moment but I did bring the necessaties and am hoping to get back into things real soon! I was getting the itch to scrapbook today and here is the simple layout that I came up with. Not fancy but hey at least I am back into it!</span></div><div><span style="color:#999999;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#999999;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 357px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513958201452033890" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/TIWDxR_md2I/AAAAAAAABFU/8SRf8STz9JE/s400/003.JPG" /></span></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02551049047858024388noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129628076096998367.post-87352707264798987752010-04-12T10:20:00.002-04:002010-04-12T10:23:21.580-04:00SPRING CLEANING<span style="color:#999999;">Hope you all are enjoying your Spring Days.

I didn't have much time to make a card today so I cheated and used an already colored in digital stamp image to make this one. For the inside, you can't tell from the photo but it is in three pieces - both leaves are separate pieces and then the flowers are still connected as one piece. This digital stamp was another freebie that can be downloaded on <a href="http://marjiesmalarkies.blogspot.com/2010/02/all-of-following-images-are-taken-from.html"><span style="color:#33ff33;">Marjie's Malarkies blog</span></a>! </span></div><div><span style="color:#999999;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#999999;">Outside of card:<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454410709737133218" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/S7H1pEz31KI/AAAAAAAABE0/cz9-k3Aj7i8/s400/flowers+004.JPG" />Inside of card:<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454410719423153410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/S7H1po5MxQI/AAAAAAAABE8/6xraL1LH99Q/s400/flowers+005.JPG" /></span></div></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02551049047858024388noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129628076096998367.post-42926632246434451902010-03-30T00:15:00.006-04:002010-03-30T09:04:43.678-04:00Bunny Resting Inside A Flower Pot!<span style="color:#999999;">One last file before I head out for a week long Easter vacation with family!

What a great way to use up some scraps! I have never used that many patterns on one project before but I think this one turned out pretty nice with them. I ended up using 12 patterned papers and two plain colored cardstock along with the patterned ribbon! I think I am going to add the sentiment "Celebrate Life"!

I had a tree cut from from my cricut that I inked around to give the effect of the outline of a tree top on the background of the card - sort of a reverse type stenciling. I then used the Bird from the Nature-Flights of Fancy stencils that I had from Tattered Angels. I glimmer misted the bird stencil with Patina and then used a little Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to add just a hint of some more color! I curled the tip of the beak up and the tips of the wings - wish the picture was better, it looks so much nicer in person. I know the card is rather simple but I like how it turned out!</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="font-size:0;"></span></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451891860486726258" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/S6kCwwInonI/AAAAAAAABBs/chx99sKDMzo/s400/bird+002.JPG" /><span style="color:#999999;">What the tree looked like on the background doing a reverse stenciling type effect!</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451891869212531138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/S6kCxQpA2cI/AAAAAAAABB0/iyk7pLCCXi4/s400/bird+001.JPG" /> <span style="color:#999999;">Instead of wasting the glimmer mist spray left on the stenciling, I made another image with it.

I saw the old version of the movie but missed going with my family to see the new version (was away scrapbooking)! I wasn't going to do this one because it has been a long day and I am very tired and feeling lazy about thinking up something but I had to keep up my record of completing each card - true dedication you know! LOL I started off by printing a clipart image of the rabbit and then coloring him in with the gamsol and Prisma colored pencils. I printed some of the script from the movie on the brown paper which was originally going to be my background paper but then I decided against it and just used a cut strip of it. I just had to incorporate the rabbits famous saying and decided it would make a good belated birthday card to go along with the "late" theme. You may not be able to see it well but I used the glossy accents for the watch face and the rabbits glasses too.<span style="font-size:+0;"></span></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451640727607239906" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NEXqTiEfSSM/S6geW5QU5OI/AAAAAAAABBU/nsKUEFBrkAg/s400/rabbit+010.JPG" /></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02551049047858024388noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129628076096998367.post-14976800150299092622010-03-22T06:53:00.000-04:002010-03-22T06:58:58.310-04:00Top Trio - YAHOOOOOOO!<span style="color:#999999;">WOW - I am super excited this morning.
