Friendz with He{ART} Scrap-Friendzy Blog Hop

Welcome to your 1st stop on the “Friends with He{ART}” Scrap-Friendzy Blog Hop! If you are following the links from the beginning of the hop, you should have come from the Scrap-Friendzy blog. If not, and you wish to participate in the blog hop, please start at the Scrap-Friendzy blog.

I am happy to share my version of a treat container with you today! It's called a 2-5-7-10 box. I created these Valentine-themed containers just for the blog hop!

What's a 2-5-7-10 box? Great question! It's a little container that you can create with just one sheet of cardstock, some scored lines, and some adhesive. Easy as can be! I found how to make the 2-5-7-10 box on Splitcoast Stampers. You'll definitely want to check out the tutorial on that site! For my containers, I do not stamp on the cardstock (step 3 in the tutorial), I used my threading water punch on my box flap (step 5 in the tutorial), and I added a 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" sheet of patterned paper to the front of my container! My containers are holding three fun size candy bars. These are the perfect size for small Valentine treats!

Your next stop on the blog hop will be Jean's blog. Don't forget to leave a comment here, and on each stop on the blog hop. Then, make sure you finish up at the Scrap-Friendzy forum and post that you have completed the hop. Your name will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous prize! We're also hosting a weekend crop from Friday, February 11 through Sunday, February 13 on the forum. We hope you will join in the fun!

I'm also offering a small RAK during this blog hop! All you need to do to be eligible for this Bo Bunny Cambridge card kit is leave a comment on my blog! I will randomly select a winner!

Dart Guns!

I just love these three! They're so crazy! They picked up these dart guns at Menard's, and since then, you never know when they will be a sneak attack or a battle! They posed for a photo, and it cracks me up that it has a Charlie's Angels feel to it! This layout is pretty much Jillibean Soup with LOTS of sewing on it! I also added some Prima Sprites and a Jenni Bowlin ticket. That stamping in the upper left corner is with a Studio Calico stamp. The layout is based on a sketch that is posted for the sketch event at Scrap-Friendzy.

I hope you're having a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Be You

I rarely create two page layouts, and this is my second one in the last few weeks! I used the January / February "Happy Together" kit that I bought at Inspired to Scrap.


I let a Unity Stamp inspire me with the title! "Be Unique. Be Unforgettable. Be YOU." Love it!


My girls LOVE taking silly self-portraits! I love when they take silly self-portraits! It's a wonderful surprise to see them all when I upload photos from my camera! I stamped words up the side of the three photos! They're from a PaperTrey Ink stamp set. Love it! Both of these layouts are based on sketches that are posted at the sketch event at Scrap-Friendzy.

I hope you're having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

LWE Flute

We're having another Sketch-A-Thon at Scrap-Friendzy, and this is my layout based on the first sketch that was posted!! I used all Jillibean Soup, and I love the way this turned out! I just love those corrugated letters! This is Emily in her flute section sweatshirt! She looks wonderful!

We're back to the routine tomorrow. Jessica heads back to school. Emily has another whole week off. Hard to believe the holidays are over! I hope you enjoyed it all! Thanks for stopping by!

Father's Day

I created this page for a bunch of challenges! I normally do NOT combine challenges, because it feels like cheating to me, but I want to do so many of them, they're all awesome, and I just figured I would give it a try this one time! So, I started off with the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays! I was also inspired by a sketch at Coordinates Collections! This is also for a scraplifting challenge at Scrap-Friendzy, a use your scraps challenge at Inspired to Scrap, and a color challenge at Memorable Seasons! Anyway, I just love the way this layout turned out!

I hope you're having a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Summer 2010

We're issuing some awesome assignmentz and challengez at Scrap-Friendzy's Scrap University!! This is my challenge for an extra credit assignment called "Dean's List!" Here's what our Scrap U studentz needed to do to make the Dean's List:

1. Journal as a list!
2. Since summer is ending . . . include photos from THIS summer!
3. Include FIVE OR MORE photos!

Not too difficult . . . right!?! My layout features twelve photos, and instead of it being a Summer Top 10, it's a Summer Top 11!! I totally think of Spinal Tap when I say that! Anyway, I love the way this turned out!

I hope you're having a GREAT day! Thanks for stopping by!

Goodbye Rainbow Playset!

Wow! I haven't updated my blog in a LONG time!! I created this layout for an after-school activity challenge over at Scrap-Friendzy! There are so many fun challenges going on right now, you should stop by and play along! I used Sassafras papers and letter stickers! I wasn't originally going to put on a HUGE title, but now I love it! It was sad to see the playset go, but my nephew and niece LOVE it, and they're giving it a good home!

Thanks for stopping by!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

I created this page for a Music Challenge over at Scrap-Friendzy! I coffee stained and then glimmer misted some music paper, and I created three flowers and one butterfly with the paper. I love it! I used my Nestabilities circle scallops to cut the flowers. The rest of the page is ALL Pink Paislee! I used awesome stuff that I got from my warehouse box! Oh my, I love that warehouse box! What a value for the money!! I just love how this page turned out!

I hope you enjoy your long weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

Home Economics Challenge!

Scrap-Friendzy just started our Scrap University! It's going to run the entire month of September! Come on by and play along! Today, I posted the 2nd challenge of the month, and it's a Home Economics Challenge! For my challenge you need to add fabric and sewing to your layout! Here are my examples.


This page features denim and machine sewing! I literally cut a pocket out of a pair of shorts that the girls wore when they were younger. I love the pocket design! I also die cut two denim flowers in my Cuttlebug using my Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die. This layout features Jillibean Soup papers, some Cosmo Cricket Lil' Man items, a Jenni Bowlin ticket, and Maya Road velvet flowers. I even added a clothing tag from one of the shirts to the page. Last, but not least, I am LOVING those varsity Thickers for this layout! I used my sewing machine too! Oh, how I love my sewing machine!!


This page features a fabric flower that I created (tutorial is on the Scrap-Friendzy site), and I also added fabric to the edge of my journaling block. All of the sewing on this page is hand stitching. I took some FUN photos of Jessica in June, so I decided to create a Jessica June 2010 page! I love these Bo Bunny papers!

I hope you have a wonderful long holiday weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Scrap University at Scrap Friendzy!

Camp Friendzy is coming to a close at Scrap Friendzy, but we have already announced our next event! We will be having a Scrappy University, and I cannot wait! It's going to be so much FUN!! Check out the announcement on the Scrap Friendzy site!! I hope to see you there!

Lots of Projects!

I have been neglecting my blog!! That's OK though, because I've been spending lots of time with my girls! Emily has been home all week! She finished up summer school and was on a break from marching band. She starts back with all of the insanity on Monday! She will be at marching band practice A LOT! Anyway, here are some projects that I've done lately!


This one is for two challenges! The first is at Scrap-Friendzy. We're still participating in Camp Friendzy, and this week's challenge had a fishing theme! We needed to tie something onto our layout. I tied on a button and I tied some twine to the right of my title strip. The second is at Memorable Seasons. We were challenged to stamp at least three different stamps on our layout. I love to stamp, so no problem! I stamped my title, the beware sign, the funky skull, and the primitive man! I love these photos from Disney! I want those tiki totem poles in my backyard!! The papers are My Mind's Eye.


This Epcot layout was created with goodies that Suzanne sent to me! She sent a few of us an awesome kit, and we needed to create one layout. I'm an overachiever, so I created three projects! I'm so happy to be getting more vacation layouts done!


Another vacation layout, but this one is from Arizona! This watchtower was so totally cool!


I loved the chipboard shape that she sent, so I decided to create a personalized hanging for my scrappy area! I love this!


Here is the totally COOL kit that Suzanne sent to us! Isn't it fantastic!?! I had so much fun, and I still have some goodies left!


This layout was created for a challenge at Memorable Seasons to have a 12" swirl on your page and twelve hand cut flowers. Well, I did three flower stacks that contain four flowers each, and I cut the swirl from a sheet of My Mind's Eye paper. I'm not too sure I'm digging the swirl on this layout, but since I don't redo pages, it's staying! I do love the photo of my girls!!


This page was a recycling challenge at Scrap-Friendzy! We were to include recycled items on our page! I included a part of the ice cream box, a piece of corrugated cardboard, and a flower that I cut from plastic packaging. I love this photo of the girls and I. Those M&M ice cream sandwiches were VERY good! Yum!

So, I hope you've been having some summertime fun! It's been way too hot for me! I've been enjoying the air conditioning a little too much! I hope you enjoy your weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

Live Out Loud!

I was looking at all of my Pink Paislee stuff the other day, and I really wanted to use this 12x12 transparency. I found the perfect photo, cut it to size with my Coluzzle, and then assembled this page! I love the simplicity of this! I love sewing on transparencies too! This page is for a challenge at Scrap-Friendzy's Camp-Friendzy!! We are having such a great time camping!!

I hope you're having a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Notebook & A Layout!

I created both of these projects for the awesome challenges that are going on over at Scrap-Friendzy's Camp-Friendzy! Come over and check it out! It's a lot of fun!!


I altered a notebook for a pre-camp challenge. I used what I considered to be an obvious choice for a camp-themed challenge . . . Cosmo Cricket's Mr. Campy! I love the way this turned out! The blackboard shapes are so cool!


I created this layout for another challenge where we needed to use banners or flags on our layout. I used both! I cut the awesome banner from a sheet of paper from The Girls' Paperie, and I added two little travel-themed flag pins from Making Memories. I really like the way this layout turned out!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Caribbean Beach Resort

Scrap-Friendzy is having an AWESOME Camp-Friendzy competition. Come check it out! It's a weekly challenge competition. This is for the Archery Challenge! For the challenge, we could use any pictures or theme that we wanted. We needed to have at least 3 circle elements and an arrow on the page. Do you see the archery connection!?! :) For the circle elements, we could use circle-shaped cardstock of patterned paper, journal spots, die cuts, stickers, buttons, brads, etc. You just need to have 3 DIFFERENT types of circles! So, my circles are: large pattered paper background, title, journaling spot, and many brads. My arrow is a photo anchor that is on a flower, and it's pointing to my title. Plus, there is a "hidden" arrow on my layout! The large photo has a turn arrow on the pavement! Made me laugh to have a hidden arrow! Fun challenge, and I love the way my layout turned out!

I hope you're having a great day. Stop by at Scrap-Friendzy and play along!! Thanks for stopping by!

Awesome Sombrero!

I created this layout for one of the pre-camp challenges over at Scrap-Friendzy! Come on by and be one of our happy Camperz!! This was a recipe challenge. The C-A-M-P-E-R challenge was:

C - Use CARDSTOCK somewhere on your page
A - Use any of the following words in your title: "ADORE", ADMIRE", "AMAZE", "AWESOME"
M - Use some form of METAL on your page
P - Use a PUNCH somewhere on your page
E - EMBOSS an element on your page
R - Include RIBBON on your page.

Fun challenge! Great recipe! I used 7 gypsies, Prima, We R Memory Keepers, and Jillibean Soup products on this page. I love the way it turned out!

I hope you're having a great day. Thanks for stopping by!

Us

I created this page for a challenge over at Scrap-Friendzy. The challenge was to use a large photo on a page, and Amy even created a sketch for the challenge! There is a story with the photo on this page! Are you ever in a pic, you look at it on the camera or after you've uploaded it, and you're first reaction is . . . "I look awful". Well, that's this pic for Dave and I! This was taken on my birthday. It was a long day, we're both tired, I have horrible hair (seriously need a highlight and I should have brushed it!!), and I think it truly shows how much I need to lose weight! My face looks huge!! Anyway, I uploaded it and embraced it, because this is us! This is what we look like sometimes! So, instead of deleting it from my camera . . . I enlarged it and scrapped it!! This page uses the most awesome papers! They are Bo Bunny Mama-razzi! I love them! I also used my NEW Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix die! Love it! I got it at the Memorable Seasons online store! OK, you should check out the store, because Jill has so much on sale right now! It's unbelievable, and I've been VERY bad! Last, but certainly not least, I used the amazing Pink Paislee chipboard letters that my most awesome blogging friend Chris sent to me! Aren't they fabulous!?!

I hope you are enjoying your Friday! Have a GREAT weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

2 Cool!

I created this layout during the crop at Scrap-Friendzy. My online friend Stacey created a sketch for the crop, and this was my layout based on her sketch! I used American Crafts Blue Skies that I got at Scrapbook Steals! I love all of the layers on this layout, and I love the photos of my girls! I did some sewing on the page too!

Thanks for stopping by!
