I am back once again.  In the past few weeks, I have moved:),  Now I am trying to get my new house in order,  most importantly my scrapbook room unpacked and organized.  Had my daughters graduation party.   Note to Self, not a good idea to move on a Thursday and think you can be unpacked and have a party on Saturday.   Now, I am attempting to finish my June projects and try to put together the perfect marathon program for the Chicago Marathon I will be running in October.  Whew, I am tired just typing all of this.

Anyway, enough of that...Now, some scrapbook related items.   For the month of May the Scrapbooking Studio gave me two lines to work with.  The first line was,  Jillibean Soups Neopolitan Bean Bisque.  I knew I would have no problems working with this line.  After all I tend to work with very colorful and lively paper.  The second line, which I was a wee bit intimidated by was,  Graphic 45's Kraft collection.  I think Graphic 45 has beautiful paper, it is just very intimidating to me and puts me out of my comfort zone.  I guess, it is good to get out of the old comfort zone every once in awhile.  So, one to my projects...

First up, a quick Fathers Day tag using Graphic 45 kraft paper, the head is from Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 Art parts and Wishing You stamp is from Studio 490 Card Art Essentials set.  For the Happy Fathers day, I cut letters from Graphic 45 paper Express yourself paper.  Buttons and twine are misc. items.

 Next, is a quick layout, You have Style.  All paper is from Graphic 45 Kraft collection plus a piece of Bazzill black c/s.  The lady is a Wendy Vecchi, art part, letters are from Maya Road.   I had no pictures to use as they were in storage at the time. 

Using Jillibean Soup Neopolitan Bean Bisque I made two quick cards.  All items used with exception of the C/S is from the Jillibean line.

 For my altered item, I used Studio Calicos, 4 x 8 woodgrain, Chipboard album and made a book to keep by the phone and write down messages. 

 Last, is a layout of my daughter while on spring break at Disney World.   Little did I know at the time I would be given this paper line.  It ended up working perfectly for these pictures.  Morgan had to humor me as she wanted no part of having her picture taken in the phone booth.  Again, all items used with the exception of the White C/S are from Jillibean Neopolitan bean bisque.

Hope you enjoyed my May projects.  I can't wait to share my June projects. All I can say is, I love, love, love, my two lines I was assigned.

June Already....

Hard to believe it is already June.  Kids are officially done with school and ready for some summer entertainment.  I am actually looking forward to no homework for 3 whole months!!!

Well, I know I said it was June, so you may be wondering why I am just now sharing my May projects for the Scrapbooking Studio?  I have no good excuse.  So enough procrastinating.  For the month of May I was given Studio Calico's Classic Calico Line and Echo Parks Note to Self.

First, with Studio Calico's Classic Calico I designed a quick Graduation Card.  For the base of the card I used kraft card stock. Other items used: Studio Calico's: Classic Calico paper, chip board butterflies, card stock stickers and Studio Calico's fabrips.

Next, I designed a layout using my nephew's pictures from an early spring walk.  I used Kraft card stock, Studio Calico's Classic Calico paper.  To add a little punch of color, I used some left over pieces from My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart Be Amazing Line.

I will be back to share my projects with Echo Park Note to Self in a couple days. For now I need to go get a little packing done.  Have a wonderful Friday and a nice relaxing weekend.
