HIMCR #159 - Christmas in July! again!

Hi.  This week at HIMCR we all made projects for Christmas.  Again!  We received a digi from Blue Moon Creations so I made this card:

I used DCWV paper, Scrappy Moms sentiment, stickles and ink.

We also received a digi from Digi Digi Doodle.  I made this card:

I hope it looks like the ornament is hung on the tree with Stickle snow.  I also used DCWV paper, Liquid Pearls and Designers Calendar cartridge.


I hope you link a Christmas-y project to HIMCR this week to be entered to win digital images.

From crop (3/3)

This is the last group of layouts I started at the crop.

Paper, ribbon, Liquid Pearls.

 Reminisce paper, ink.

 Basic Grey and DCWV paper.

DCWV paper, brads, Liquid Pearls, eyelets Ink.  There is actually journaling on here, but its hidden in the grass."

From crop (2/3)

Here are more layouts that I started at the crop last weekend.

 DCWV paper, Momenta stickers, ribbon, 3D adhesive, brads.

Paper, ink, alphas.

 DCWV paper, ink, ribbon, brad.

 My Minds Eye and DCWV paper, ribbon, stickers, ink.

Adorn it paper.  Another one where the paper 'does the work' expressing the topic.

From crop (1/3)

I went to a wonderful crop this past weekend.  This was the first time I printed out only pictures I wanted to scrap instead of my usual "print everything in case the computer crashes someday."

During approximately 8 hours I ended up starting 13 layouts!  Whoa!  I didn't finish them all there because I don't bring things that need to dry like Stickles and I forgot things like pens, so I completed some at home the next day.  Still, that was great!

These are all from last summer.  I love when the photy and paper "do all the work' but I think I use a larger variety of my embellishments/supplies at crops rather than at home.

Here is the first batch of layouts:

Bo Bunny paper, ribbon, brads, Liquid Pearls.

 Daisy D and Echo Park paper, ribbon, brads,

 Paper, Thickers

Echo Park paper.

Extra HIMCR 159- Christmas in July!

Today we did another Christmas in July project with a digi from Digi Digi Doodle.

Isn't it cute?  I also used DCWV paper, ink, Liquid Pearls and Stickles.

HIMCR #158 - Christmas in July!

Hello!  This week at HIMCR is Christmas in July!  There is a "bloghop" today.

I was very excited to have the motivation to make this layout:

We have done this in my family for years, yet this was the first time anyone took pictures while we were picking out a tree. 

I used DCWV paper, Thickers, a stamp, ink and Liquid Pearls.

I hope you make something for this holiday and link it to HIMCR this week.  Laurie is sponsoring the main giveaway for this "hop.".

Daddy's Legos

My husband received a few boxes of the Legos he played with as a kid.  He willingly shared them with our boys.  One kid was really interested.

They had and continue to have so much fun with all the Legos in the house.

I used Lego paper, brads, Thickers and ink.

HIMCR #157- SSS

Welcome!  It's another Super Scraps Saturday at HIMCR this week!  I made a layout.

It always feel good to use up my scraps.  The digi is from 'A Day for Daisies.'  I used Paper Studio paper, eyelets and ink.



I hope you use some scraps and post your project to HIMCR this week.  A will will receive 'A Day for Daisies' $12 GC.

While I was coloring the digi, my son made sure the colors matched.

Then he colored some spare prints himself. 

I love how the whole family can participate in this hobby.

4th of July

We had a great day.  I tried to do a 2 page layout.  That worked for the photos at the town festival.  Then I had to do a third page for the rest of the day.

Here are the pages individually:

right or middle:

far right or evening:

For the matching pages I used DCWV paper, Lily Bee Design alphas, stickers and ink.  The other page is Bazzill paper ink, stickers and My World cartridge.

HIMCR #156 - Think Summer!

 Hi!.  This week we are using summer colors on our projects for HIMCR.  Here is the scrapbook page that I made:

I used Recollections and DCWV papers, the Alphalicious cartridge, Lily Bee Design alphas, Prismacolor markers and Liquid Pearls.  The digi is from Sami Stamp Shop.


I hope you create something summery and link it to HIMCR this week for a chance to win a Sami Stamps - $12 GC.

My younger son and I always dance (spin) to the same song. 

I used paper, Thickers, brads, ink and Liquid Pearls.

July Pet challenge

This month I am hosting the pet challenge on scrapbook.com.  I chose the optional twist to be primary colors.

We were cleaning the carpets on the first floor, so Logan was brought upstairs.  The bunny keeps thinking he's a kid too.

I used Paper Studio and DCWV paper, ink and brads.
