HIMCR #149 Embossing!

Hi.  This week at HIMCR we did projects with Embossing.  I don't have an embosser or the special ink so I used papers that are already embossed/raised.

All the papers have a raised pattern (except the black mat).

 I used Momenta papers, ribbon, Lily Bee Design alphas, ink and an eyelet.
 
I hope you link an embossed project to HIMCR this week.  Laurie is giving away some embossing folders.

Legos are Super

This is a layout of my boys using their Lego table while in costume.

I used Thickers, ribbon, brads and Lego brand paper.

HIMCR #148 Super Scraps Saturday

For the Mamma Mia bloghop go HERE.


Welcome to another HIMCR SSS.  And it's Laurie's birthday!  She's sponsoring this one with a few of 'My Favorite Things' from her stash. The DT decided to send her cards this year.  This is the one I sent her:

I like the playful sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps.  And the cake is on an Action Wobble, it bounces!  Stickles light up the candle and Liquid Pearls make up the sprinkles.  All products are scraps.

I hope you link a project to HIMCR this week too.  Laurie is giving away some things from her stash.

Happy Anniversary

Today is my parent's anniversary.  I made them this card:

It's simple and direct.  I used DCWV paper, eyelets, ink and Scrappy Moms Stamps sentiment.

Periscope

My son found a periscope in his uncle's old toy bin.  After we told him he could see things while hiding, it became really cool.

I used Fancy Pants and DCWV paper with Lily Bee Design alphas.  It's a simple design, but I like it.
