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.

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.

2010 Artisan Award Winners Blog Hop Project #3

Thank you so much for visiting the 2010 Artisan Award Winner’s blog hop day 3. You most likely have come from Elizabeth Price’s blog. I hope you are enjoying our hop as much as we are loving showing off our hard work. I have to say one of the hardest parts for me was not showing you my projects. I love for you to see what I am doing and hope I can inspire you to create.

This card was tough for me. This was the very last project I made and by the time I made it to this I was sure I was out of ideas. To my surprise I had a few ideas ratiling around up there and in the end I loved it. It is hard to see but the base of this card is made with window sheets. I love all the texture and dimention on this card.










Now hop on over to Angela Timms Blog. Have a great day Everyone!

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #2

I would like welcome you from Elizabeth Price’s Blog. Today I am sharing card #2 with you. I used a shadow box technique on this card. This was the first time I have tried this. It takes some patience but is well worth the effort. I used the Under the Stars stamp set to make a manlier card. I love this stamp set but rarely use it. Do you have any stamp sets like that?

Remember to leave a comment to be entered in to my draw for free admission to my online class Folding with Renee Ballard.

2010 Artiasn Award Winners Blog Hop Project #1

Thank you so much for visiting the 2010 Artisan Award Winner’s blog hop. You should have come from Elizabeth Price’s blog. I am so honored to be one of this years winners and I am thrilled to share with you the projects that I made and submitted for this years contest. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to ask any questions.

Please leave a comment as I will be drawing for a free admission to my on line class for each week of our blog hop. So visit each day and leave a comment to increase your chances of winning. Good Luck! I hope you will all join in the fun.

Here is my first card. I love the little details on this card like the braded ribbon and the stitching around the outer layer. I decided that I wanted to do something a little different with the ribbon. I was twisting it and trying all kinds of things. Then all of a sudden it hit me. “What about braiding it?” It was so simple but I love the look. Trust me if you saw the original sketch I made for this card you wouldn’t even recognize it.

The next artisan on our hop is Angela Timms. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
