30 Days, 30 Cards Day 3



Welcome back to 30 Days, 30 Cards brought to you by the lovely design team at Memory Works!  If you've been following this from day one you know the drill... we have a card sketch or map and from this we draw our inspiration for our card.  We can flip the design, use different shapes what ever we want to make this card uniquely ours.  So, here is the sketch for today...

 

And here is my card...

 

 

 

I really hope that you are inspired to create your own cards this year for Christmas.  I am having so much fun and have good intentions of making about 50 cards this year so I can give everyone a hand made little gift.  See you tomorrow!

 



 





30 Days 30 Cards, Day 2

Welcome back for some more Christmas inspiration!  I am having so much fun with thesecard sketches and using some of the new Christmas papers that Memory Works has to offer this year.  Today our design is brought to us by Kim Hill.  Here is the sketch that Kim used for her inspiration.  It is from Mojo Monday.

And here is my take on this sketch...

 

 

 

You can see Kim's beautiful card over on the Memory Works Blog.  Thanks for visiting again today and remember... 30 days, 30 cards!  Happy scrapping!

 



30 Cards In 30 Days

Over at the Memory Works Blog they are having a really fun time.  Each day one of the very talented ladies on the Design Team will be presenting a sketch for a Christmas Card and their take on the sketch.  I am really excited to participate in this again. Last year I was able to make 25 cards to send out for Christmas.  This year I am priviledged to be a member of the design team and also participate in this fun challenge.  I am hoping to make at least 50 cards this year. 

Here is the sketch that Christine used for inspiration and my take on this sketch.  You can see Christines card at the Memory Works Blog.  This challenge is open to Memory Works consultants and customers alike.  I hope you are inspired to create your own handmade cards.

Happy creating and be sure to check back tomorrow for a new sketch and card!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!  Over at Craft-e-Corner they are having a special "Craft Pink" Series for October on their blog.  They have invited members of different design teams to create a project using pink products that can be purchased at their online store and they will post them all sometime in October.  I made a paperbag album using Bo Bunny Little Miss papers and stickers. These papers are available from Memory Works and you can contact me if you want to get your hands on these adorable papers and stickers. 

My paper bag mini album will be featured on their blog on October 10th.  I hope you stop over there and check them out.  They also are having a giveaway,  click here to find out more about this great month long project and their awesome giveaway.

I used my sewing machine to add some zig zag stitching for texture.  I really had fun making this little album and I'm thinking of giving it to a special friend for her October birthday.  Shhh don't tell.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and stay tuned for some exciting holiday events coming up in the next few months!

Express Kit Monday

I am so excited to share this months Memory Express Kit with you.  I had a ton of fun with this kit!  Last month Memory Works celebrated its 10th birthday and one of the challenges was to create a layout with a picture that was at least 10 years old.  After going through my stacks of old pictures I was inspired to use some of them on layouts for this months Express Kit.  I made two 12 x 12 layouts, four cards and an altered tri-fold folder and I still have so much product left to have more fun with. 

The first projects I'd like to share with you are the two layouts I did.  The first one is me and a friend at Grad Night in Disneyland, May 1975.  I'm sad to tell you that this was the last time I have been to Disneyland!  I hope to remedy this soon!.

This next layout is from 1966!  The pictures are of my dad and my two brothers getting ready to fish.  I love these pictures!  Scrapping with black and white pictures is so much fun because you can use just about any colors you want and they won't clash with your photos!

Next Monday I will be sharing the four cards I made with this kit.  I don't want to spoil the fun over on the Memory Works Blog so, you will just have to be patient.  LOL

Thanks for stopping by today and please leave a comment to let me now you were here.
