Bottles, Bibs, & Booties!
May 10, 2011 By
Well, I have been breaking my neck trying to get all the ‘loose ends’ tied up for our last little chick, aka Colin, to graduate this Saturday. It’s not that I have forgotten the blog, it’s that I have been overwhelmed with more to do than there are hours in the day!
Here is a quick peek at one of the lay-outs I’ve put together for his scrapbook:
I’ve spent way too much time reminiscing about his baby years, and missing my own dear sweet mother and my lovely mother-in-law this past weekend of Mother’s Day. It’s time now though, to stop looking back, and look ahead! There are so many wonderful memories waiting to happen and I am anxious to GET IT ON!
I have taken full advantage of many of my Stampin’ UP! great stamp sets, punches, and ideas and am incorporating them to help me get Colin’s scrapbook pulled together.
This layout was one I simply couldn’t pass up! Colin’s nursery had a shelf where all his baby memorabilia was kept so it seemed the perfect header for this grouping of pictures.
Stampin’ UP! supplies used for this layout:
Baby Bundle Stamp Set, 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog pg. # 78
Stampin’ UP! Card stock: 12 x 12 Bashful Blue, 8 1/2 x 11 Soft Suede and Whisper White
Stampin’ UP! Classic Ink Pads: Soft Suede, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and So Saffron
Stampin’ Write Markers: Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie
Stampin’ UP! Punches: Decorative Label Punch, 1″ Circle Punch 6-Petal Flower Punch
Hope your having a great week! Graduation is almost HERE! Yahoo!!
Let the Party Begin with Stampin’ UP!
August 1, 2010 By
Nothing says “Let’s Party” like a Pennant Banner card created using the Stampin’ UP! Extra Large Star Punch.
Using scraps of your favorite Stampin’ UP! Designer Series Paper punch two stars and cut off the points. Tie a bow in one end of a strand of linen thread and attach it to the card face using a Mini Glue Dot. Tie a bow in the other end and attach it the same way. Put a drop of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the center of the thread and attach the first pennant, then alternating each side attach the remaining pennants. The Stampin’ UP! Designer Series Paper being double-sided makes the pennants perfectly coordinated!
All you need now is the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Stampin’ UP! Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and your card is ready to start the party.
The Pennant Banner embellishment isn’t just for cards either, it brings a celebratory note of fun to your scrapbook pages…like this one:
The Pennant Banner embellishment is just another example of what you can learn by attending the annual Stampin’ UP! Convention!

COTTAGE UPDATE!
October 13, 2009 By
Things are really humming out at My Bluebonnet Cottage.
Humming…literally, thanks to WINDSTREAM! After a couple of miscues with the installer, I finally connected with the nice gentleman who was going to do the installation and everything went smoothly. The installation of the internet connection is complete. YEAH!!
Now when you book your stay for My Bluebonnet Cottage you will be able to access the web for all those inspirational sights that scrappers just love to browse.
We’ve had two wonderful groups of gals there this month who were just singing our praises. (The largest even squeezed in NINE ladies and have figured out where to put a tenth gal next time!)
The workroom is fabulously lit for these cloudy overcast days, giving you plenty of light for your color choices and coordination…no need to worry, it’s always sunny inside!
I’m already getting calls for 2010, so if your thinking of getting together with your friends for some scrapping keep me in mind. As soon as you get your preferred dates together, give me a call and I’ll save a spot for you.
Happy Fourth!

You don’t need expensive paper, stickers, and all that stuff to make an impressive scrapbook page. You CAN do it with just cardstock, and a little imagination!
Now, you will need some stamps and ink of course, but I don’t know any serious scrapbookers that don’t have SOME stamps in their stash.
So here’s one example:
So, we’re going to have a 4th of July BBQ and I’m all ready to put my pics on the page! Won’t that make the event much smoother knowing ahead of time, that I’ve already got it mostly scrapbooked? I’ll say it will. (Sometimes when those creative juices are flowing, you’ve just got to sit back and let it happen!)
I made a calendar page and highlighted the 4th like it was torn right out of a calendar. The striped band at the top is a 3/8″ ribbon mounted on top of a 5/8″ ribbon and makes a spirited stripe for at the top of the page. The fun bottom banner was created by using a Jumbo size wheel and star punches in contrasting colors.
There are many ways you can incorporate this layout sketch in your scrapbooks. It could be a birthday, anniversary, or a graduation just to name a few.
Here’s a closer look at that bottom banner:
I hope this will inspire you over the summer when the heat drives you back inside to get a headstart on your scrapbook projects. Who said you have to wait until AFTER the event? Life happens, and I scrapbook anytime I can squeeze it in! I hope you find the time to enjoy the memories you will make this summer and to leave some of those memories so that your loved ones can enjoy them for years to come! Have a wonderful and blessed week.
