Sunny Planner

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today I would like to share with you a planner I made for an organized swap at convention. I am happy with how it turned out. I made it using 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 This makes it super economical to make.

I used the super yummy Greenhouse Gala DSP. Don't you just love all of the new papers we have to play with? I am super excited as I get my $500 stamp order today. This is one of the many benifits I recieved for winning the Artisan Award. I have some more of these beautiful papers in there and I can't wait to make some new creations to share with you.







Here is the link for my online class. Folding with Renee Ballard. I would love to have you join us. Have a wonderful day!

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #10

You have arrived from the talented Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.

Welcome to the last day of the 2010 Artisan Award Winners Blog Hop. I am sad this is our last day but I will continue to have things to share with you and I hope you will join me in my online class Folding with Renee Ballard.

Now for todays project. This is by far my very FAVORITE thing I made. I was even so bold to ask Shelli if I could have it back. She chuckled and said “you wouldn’t be the first to ask for something back” I guess that means NO! Oh well, I guess I could recreate it but it just isn’t the same.

I think this one speaks for it’s self. This one is of my youngest Ella. There is a picture of each page. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I would be happy to share with you.

Thank you for continuing to visit over the last 2 weeks. I feel truly blessed to be one of this years Artisans winners. It has been a pleasure to share a little piece of me with all of you and I hope you will continue to come back. I would also love for you to join me in my online class. Have a fabulous weekend!

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #9

You have arrived from the talented Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE creating 3D items. I really wanted to create what I thought was a unique 3D item. I’m sure something similar has been done at some point but I haven’t ever seen it.
Today’s 3D item is a perpetual calendar. I added a bunch of elements. Including using the chalkboard vinyl on a chipboard bird. I created a different look to each month of the calendar. Email me if you want to see each month. Did you notice the saying on the cork board? It says

Good, Better, Best,
Never take a rest.
Till your good is better,
And your better best.

This is a something my grade 3 teacher use to say. And it has always stuck with me. Thank you Mrs.Brown. I think this is a great saying to live by. Enjoy the rest of your day!

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #8

You have arrived from the talented Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.

Here is the last of my scrapbook pages. I knew that I wanted to add chip board to one of my scrapbook pages as I love chipboard. I just wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. So I stared putting this page together and playing around with different layouts when I pulled out the On Board Blooms. I instantly knew that I wanted one of the circles to frame the picture of Lilly. I dressed it up by applying cardstock, brads, ribbon and a bit of journaling. I am thrilled with the final result.

I have learned that there are absolutely no limitations to what can be added to your scrapbook pages. I have also learned that I enjoy scrapbooking. Who knew? I may have to set some goals to get more pages completed.

I hope you are enjoying our projects. The next two days will be our 3D items so be sure to come back to check them out.

2010 Artiasn Awar Winner Blog Hop Project #7

You have arrived from the talented Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.

Ok so I would just like to brag for a moment. This page is of my daughter Lilly. Isn’t she just about the cutest little thing you have ever seen? I absolutely love this picture. She knows just how to give you that look that you just can’t help but smile. I know I am in for trouble!!!

I love how this page just sparkles. The paper has glitter as well I used the Sticky Cuts for the letters with Dazzling Diamonds. I sewed the ribbon on gathering it to make a ruffle. This is a girly girl page even though she is my tomboy.

Have a great day everyone!

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #6

Happy Monday everyone! You have arrived from Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.


Today I would like to share with you my hybrid scrap book page that I made of my darling niece. A hybrid scrapbook page is were you take a digitally printed scrapbook page and add traditional paper elements. I think I was the only artisan with a hybrid page. This is the only hybrid page I have made. To be honest I haven’t done much scrapbooking at all. Once I started I loved it and I am looking forward to creating some for myself.

To make this page I used 3 of the same printed pictures that I created with my digital studio. The first is my background. The Second I cut along the Rose Red boarder and popped it up with dimensionals, you will also notice that I cut two slits to put my ribbon threw and tie a bow. The third I cut out the picture and popped it up as well as on her hat there is a butterfly that I trimmed around and popped up the edges. Once that was done I added the 9 layer flowers and the swirley die to create the extra wow! I hope you like it.

You have arrived form Elizabeth Price’s Blog. Are you enjoying the hop? Remember to leave a comment to be entered in to my draw for free admission to my online class Folding with Renee Ballard.

I have to tell you I was a little worried about today’s card. I thought it may be to simple to be an Artisan card. Don’t get me wrong I like it but compared to my other cards it is quite simple. I do love however the clear embossing.

Thank you for visiting me today. Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow as I will be sharing my favorite card as well it is the last day to qualify for this weeks free draw.





Your next stop on the hop is Angela Timms. Take care everyone.
