Scrapbook and Gifts Update

Just wanted to update and let everyone know my taxes I mean the Scrapbook is done...

What a relief.
I have taken a ton of Pictures, but I hesitate to show them all.  I want my Daughter to enjoy them first.
When I get back from delivering it I will post more pictures. For now though I will just upload a few, of the less exciting pages...
The first is the Layout from buying the dress.... I forgot my camera this day but luckily I had my iPod in my purse and captured these images. It surprised me how nice they looked when I printed them up as photos....

These albums always turn into a first year of marriage thing in order to fill them up. The second layout is really boring, but I have about 6 pages that either have a place name, or "memories", "sites" and "Adventures" on it.  I do not have images from the study abroad that her and her husband did together last fall.  She will have to finish these pages herself...hopefully she will.

The last layout page is for their anniversary...
again they will have to take pictures for this and add them after it occurs. I am doing my best to remember to bring the anniversary cake to  them when I bring the album.  The last wedding we had I for got the cake top and had to mail it.   It made for a great blog post and a funny memory for my other daughter and her husband, at least I hope it is funny to them.

I also finished up some Birthday Gift items for  two of my other daughters that I will be delivering. I scheduled a post so they will appear after I deliver them...
Until later ....Happy Stamping!

Supplies:  DCWV, Cricut, Gypsy
 SU the only new items used not mentioned on the previous post  is the  5 point Flower punch.  I used the same ones I used to make their wedding announcements....

A&R Album #3

 It was fun piling everyone into our van to make the road trip from UT to CA.  visiting with our little grandson and Son in Laws was fun.  We  didn't take enough pictures of the trip. so I added a photo page to include some excellent pictures I couldn't fit on other pages

 The CA reception was wonderful.. it was nice not having to worry about everything and get to just enjoy the day.

 Love the family and friends photos also...you can never have enough.

 I couldn't find the opening present pictures form CA so I added an extra page for photos..I really needed them because e there were so many great pictures.

 I did a first apartment layout also but opted not to include it because  my Daughter never sent the images..she thought she included them in with the first year ones so she  gets to mount and trim them herself.

Funny story behind this page is  I forgot to take the cake top across country when I went out for my other Daughters college graduation so I had to ship it in the mail I did my best to protect it , but alas it didn't fair well...My DD said it still tasted good, though.

That is all for the Scrapbook...I have some turkey nut boxes to show you next. I cant wait.

Until Later...Happy Stamping!

A&R Album #2

 I liked how the little pocket  for the Slideshow CD turned out. I used Dots and Musical Flourish and some of the ribbon left over from their announcements.

 I don't like how all the pictures turned out probably because I took them through the plastic covers

 It was fun to recall all the fun memories of this sepcial event while making this albums.

 The honey moon I had no pictures of though I am getting some from my Sister in Law but on the squares I...were cards printed up that said Richard remembers, and Amy remembers.

This sibling page was the most fun to put together and make  I loved the pictures.

A&R Wedding Album

If anyone is really wondering why it took me so long to make something to post...its because I told myself in May I wouldn't make anything until this album was finished...it too k all summer for me to just want so desperately to have it off my back.  I am not sure why because it really didn't take to long to put together..its just I hate cropping and mating pictures...anyways this  will probably take the next few days to post. but here are pictures of the cover and the first few pages.

 

I'll Post a few more pages tomorrow.
The font is from Cricut Cartridge, Lyrical Letters.

I have been very busy...

We started a room project over a year and a half ago...



I have been working hard on the room,
and on my scrapbook.
The scrap book is mostly finished,
now...a few days ago I took pictures to share with a friend.

Some of the pages still needed a few pictures, but I
thought I would share them with you.

On the first page I did painstakingly take a pair of scissors and a xacto knife and cut out the swirl from the page in order to slip

the matted image behind the swirl on the page.

If you click on the images they will enlarge so you can see them!

I already mentioned what I used on the pages in earlier post.

I think that my DD and her new husband will love looking at it for many years to come.

I dont think she has ever mentioned coming and looking at my craft blog, so I think I will share it with you..

I can get them all in this one post.

I decided to load all of them as small images.
I am hoping you will still be able to see the pages

Until Later... Happy Stamping!

Family, Friends, & Fun Pages

I labeled the last few pages of the album "Family , Friends & Fun..."

We took so many pictures, that I am certain we will have an abundance of them! There may not be enough room on the pages for each event...so I made these last few pages to create some extra space. I am going to print up a few extra pictures, that I for got in my huge online order that took hours to process through Sams Club...SO... I am going to print up a few more for the album at Wal-mart. Like these ones of Family...I am Printing a few extra to share with these families also.

Isnt our latest 1st cousin's baby girl adorable

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

The Honeymoon and Sisters Layouts

I worked on the Honeymoon and Sisters page...

The Bride and Groom went to Cozumel, Mexico for their Honemoon. Luckily they brought their computer to the MD reception so I was able to copy a few of their honeymoon pictures to a USB drive I brought with me...Glad I did because I knew I wanted to do this page. The weather was beautiful while they were there and they had a ton of fun sight seeing , playing in the ocean and with each other. I hope this page can remind them of the fum they had.

I really wanted to label it Silly Sisters, we got a lot of fun pictures of her with her sister when we were taking the decorations down at the MN

reception. They were goofing off playing with some fabric plastic wrap and floral arrangements. I have a whole series of Pictures I plan to use...

Maybe I should label it

"sisters just want to have fun!"

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

2 More Pages...Receptions

I am slowly but surely getting this album done I hope I can get it in th email on time.

I have enjoyed going through the pictures and editting them to print..I ordered them today, I cant believe how many memories they bring back I hope they do the same for my DD.

the 2-2 page Layouts I worked on today were for the 2 receptions. I ordered the pictures today also and some extras for family and friends...so many cute pictures.

I loved both

the Designer Papers for todays Layouts as well. the white flowers on the blue background. The glittery backgroud..well this particular

paper sold me on the whole package of DP, and the album. I also love that there are two pieces of every color...I do however hate that on the back of every sheet is an equally beautiful one going un seen...the tragedy of Double sided printing.

I chose the 2 pictures as well from some from the receptions...that I am printing to put on them.

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

A Few More Album Pages

Layering the letters on these pages can be quite time consumming..why didnt ProvoCraft think I wanted the shadow option for all the fonts on Calligraphy Collection ...Hmm I wonder.

I have been double cutting in two colors to help the thin font pop a little on the page...I layered Old Olive over Very Vanilla for the first 2 pages and Very Vanilla over Old Olive for the second set.
The first set of 4 pages is for the wedding day...The first page says Wedding Day, and the second list the place. I also chose this Designer paper because the Circle shapes on the paper remind me of the circle shaples on the doors behind them.

The photographer took hundreds of amazing pictures so I allowed 4 pages for them they are all wonderful. the set cond set is labeled Bride & Groom. Its hard to see but I used three astriks at the top of the one page.

The Canterburyt set of pages I used the Blocked style Shadow font with the Matrimony Font, It is called Shadow but does not shadow matrimony...sigh! I cut the letters from night of Navy and Old Olive and used the same colors to cut the swirly flower accent from the Solutions Wedding cart. I did like the look of the shadow letters. to weld them together I did shift the letters upward and downward with my Design Studio Software to enable it to be connected...My Dd really like the look of this font...I think she'll be wantting to use it one somethign someday...I hope her Sister likes it as well.

again I am just doing the lettering right now..so I uplaoded a few Photos as well...since they arent on the page yet...

Until later ... Happy Stamping!
