Father's Day Card

I was feeling particularly crafty this Father's Day, so I made Father's Day cards for the three dad's in our lives...my dad, my husband and my father-in-law. I made the same card for all three and turned them out in all of about 30 minutes!

About 95% of the cards were made with steals from scrapbooksteals.com, my FAVORITE steal website! If you haven't checked them out yet, DO IT! I got the idea for the card from idea pictures from a previous steal on scrapbooksteals. I used paper from my Breaking Free kit, Xyron sticker maker and my embossing powder and heat gun! (All previous steals!!) I have to say, I am having fun with my embossing stuff! Haven't quite perfected it yet, but I'm having fun none-the-less!

Here are a few pictures of the finished product. They were a HIT this Father's Day. I even got a thumbs up from the hubby, who suggested I make more cards and try to sell them. I took that as a green light to keep on stealing! :)

Speaking of scraplifting...

I just came across a layout that I scraplifted from one of MY OWN layouts! I posted the original layout and my version in the previous layout. Here is my 2nd take on a sweet idea:



I just recently made a scrapbook for a dear friend of mine who just had her first baby. This is one of the pages from that album. As hard as it was to create an album for someone else (12 pages - WITH PICTURES!), the reactions from my friend and her husband made the lack of sleep from the 12 days of creating the album completely worth it. Plus, their sweet girl was a joy to crop!

Scraplifters Anonymous, anyone?

I have to admit, the ONLY way I am able to do about 95% of my layouts is to scraplift. Some days I really want to scrap, but have no brain power to muster the creativity to think of a layout on my own. I've come across great examples and have used them to my advantage. I'd like to show you some of my best scraplifts. I'll show you the example first, then my depiction. Here we go!

To take credit for these by myself would doing an injustice to the people who created the originals! I WISH I was that creative!

Father's Day

With Father's Day just around the corner, I thought I'd post a layout I did of Jeff and the girls. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. It was my first attempt at making flower-like objects.



I'd just like to add that I'm HORRIBLE at taking pictures of my layouts. Hopefully I'll figure that one out someday, but for now this is what you get!
