{SAS}sy On the Coast

Hi everyone! Today i'm going to post the layouts I did for July's Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store. I received SEI's On the Coast line, and wow what a perfect line of paper for summer! It has sparkle, foil, and embossed papers that really give your pages that ooomph we all love.

So here are the pages I created. thanks for looking! be sure to stop in at the Scrap Attack Blog this week, we're doing a blog hop and there are some great prizes - like a $50 gift card! wow!

Nerves and some great pajamas

We are participating in 4-H sewing this year. Claire made pajama pants with a faced waistband. They came out so cute and she wanted to wear them right away. i had to tell her that they will be on a hanger until sometime after the fair. not long now.

Jillian made pajama pants too. they came out so cute. green polka dot with white buttons. When she did her walk for the judges she said her legs were shaking. poor sweety. she did forget to make her turn when she started but i don't think that was a big deal. the judges were so nice and encouraging. I was sooo proud of both these girls.







Judging took about an hour until we got through the line. We find out what they got on Friday night of the fair, when they will model their outfits for an audience, and the winners will be announced. So exciting!

Big Announcement at Scrap Attack!

Lauri, the owner of Scrap Attack just made a huge announcement about SAS and Paper Trunk.

Gettin SASsy!

It's time to share some of the layouts I got to do for Scrap Attack Scrapbooking! If you don't get their emails, you should really consider checking out the kits that Lauri puts together. They offer a great range of possibilities in paper and she adds really fun extras. I am loving each and every kit that shows up on my doorstep!

This month I was stretched a bit when i found i was going to be working with Crate Paper's Paper Doll line. We don't do dolls in our family, but that was not a problem. This line has enough variety to do lots of pages with never a doll to show for it. And of course I had to do one page with dolls because the paper is so doggone cute.
















if you like something you see here and want to know more, the supplies used for each of these layouts is available HERE!

Girly girl flowers and lace

PageMaps had the perfect sketch for this Easter photo i've been hanging onto. I went with lots of flowers and some of my favorite papers. I gathered up some Bazzill tulle for the flower next to the title. I used some rolled paper to make the little roses along the side of the photo, and i added a Prima cherry blossom branch along the scalloped border. I also used some of the edged Strano ribbon i love. there are so many of my favorite things on here. thanks for looking!

A little shabby

I attempted a shabby look on this page - used a PowerBlaster Sunkissed action on the photos, and kept the papers limited to a lighter, sort of washed out look. Distressed the edges heavily, and here's what i got.

Christmas in June For Our Troops

It's not too early to start thinking about getting those Christmas cards out. Especially if you're going to be sending them halfway around the world. And if you want to support our troops or know someone who is in the service, you might want to be a part of this really great challenge at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking.

The entire month of June we're challenging you to make some Christmas cards. These cards will be sent over to soldiers who will then be able to use the cards to send to their friends and family.

Here is my challenge to you - make a card using only scraps for an ornament. Then come post it in the gallery at SAS.

Thanks, and let me know if you are going to participate!

End of school thank you

Another school year completed. It went really fast this year and I don't see it slowing down any more. I have much admiration for our teachers, they have so little time, and yet they get the kids to learn so much. we had wonderful teachers this year. I thought i'd post the card (inspired by Lisa Johnson's pocket card)that we gave to each teacher, with a nice gift card envelope tucked in behind.


Thanks for looking and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day!
