Tissue box cover

Whenever I buy tissues, the box never quite matches our decor.  To remedy that, I made a tissue box cover.

First, I used the firm back side of a paper stack to make a top shell.  This way all the tissue pulling won't wreck the cover.

Then I arranged my nice papers to see where I wanted each pattern.

Next I began to adhere the top ones to the shell.

And wha-la ! 

A super fancy tissue box cover...

 ...that looks awesome from any angle...

 ...and gives you a conversation starter or bragging rights because it's handmade.

'Dots, Stripes & Plaids' and 'Linen Closet' stacks from DCWV were the source of the 10 stunning papers.

Happy Brothers

The boys were putting their jump ropes on my legs.  It was a lot of fun and I was soooo glad I had my phone on me.  That was the only camera I had access to in that moment.  I was impressed with the pictures.  They led to this layout:

 Aren't they cute?  I really lucked out.  Even though the main picture is great, I had to include other ones of them playing with the jump ropes.  I hid them under the caravan banner.

 I fussy cut squares from the paper and attached them as tabs on the bottom of the pictures.  They are all matted too.  The photos slide in between the 3-D adhesive strips for the banner.

I used 9 different papers from DCWV 'All About Boys 2' stack.  I was really excited when the alphas were the right color AND fit on the truck.  The words in the upper left corner are a rub-on.

Thanks! card

It's been so hot outside that I have been hiding in the house and at my scrap desk.  I'm so happy with the things I have been created.  Here is one of them, a card.

The DCWV Dots, Stripes & Plaids stack was the dominant source of papers.  There are 11 different papers on it.  This is such a fun, cheerful card. 

I really like that it opens in the middle, not on the side like most cards. The stamp I used is by Fiskars. 

Have a great day!

Trucking stones with Momenta

I love printing pictures.  It gives me so many new things to scrap.  Here is a layout with my boys trucking stones around the driveway.

My Momenta supplies were great for these photos!  I used papers and card stock from PA-1334, PA-2328, PA-2390 and stickers off ST-2567, ST-2526, ST-3281.  Everything coordinated well and looks great together.

Dig it

First of all, I apologize for taking so long to post this layout.  I've had it done for almost a week.  But we got caught up in working the garage sale, Father's Day, etc.

I was very excited to find this dirt paper.  I was even more excited when the boys were helping their dad dig.  Perfect!

It's a simpler layout, but I used 4 different brands of digging stickers.  I love being able to utilize products.

Gamers

This is a fun layout of my boys playing.

Santa's cookies

I wanted to scrap these pics for a few months now.  They show the boys getting cookies ready for Santa.  This was the first year they could really participate.

The Momenta papers were just the right colors.  I used some from PA-0925, PA-2375, PK-2147 and 16863.  Then I traced the embossed area on the circle/plate to give it some pop and imitate a plate pattern.  The journaling around the edge is supposed to be plate decor too.

I entered this in the scrapbook.com circle challenge.  I had a great time making it.  The boys even supervised me as I worked.

Sweet boys

Scrapbook.com has really kept me scrapping this past month.  Here is a layout I did for their chocolate challenge.

The boys had no problem eating chocolatey foods.  This was a lot of fun.  I got to use a lot of products on here.  Brads, Thickers, Everyday Paper Dolls, Create a Critter, Sponge Bob cartridges and Momenta vellum stickers.

Those vellum stickers (ST-0465) are cool.  The paper 'disappeared' and left only the words.  I was really excited to FINALLY use my chocolate chip paper that I've owned for 5 years. 

Now I'm excited to scrap other eating festivities.
