June 2015 Card Sketch Challenge

This was definitely a challenge for me since the sketch didn't really "hit" me.

While I was cleaning up my work space, I found some of the swapped twinchies I've received in the swaps in the Club Scrap forum. (I hope you ladies don't mind, but those mini pieces of flair look so cute on a card and not hidden in a box on the shelf!) They fit perfectly AND I didn't have to do anything but arrange and glue them on! I love when things come together that fast!

Check out +Julie Heyer's Cape Cod Scrapper blog post for free ALSB cutting instructions for the sketch. Her cards are really cute too! Click here to see all the creations submitted for the challenge on the Club Scrap forum.

June 2015 ALSB Challenge

I FINALLY downloaded the National Parks digital kit! I keep forgetting to download on the first of the month and the link expires. The ladies at +ClubScrap provide awesome customer service. The link was reactivated within 24 hours. I need to start setting a reminder to myself before I wear out my welcome!

My niece spent the day with me and we had a blast. I thought this kit would be fun for our outdoor adventure. I used the ALSB (Assembly Line Scrapbooking) idea recipe card that is included to design my LOs. Love the colors with my pictures!  She even made a mini scrapbook with the pictures we took to share at home. Love this goofy girl!

June 2015 Birthday Club Swap

I made these for the June 2015 Birthday Club Swap on the Club Scrap forum. Actually, I made them for the May birthday swap, addressed and stamped the envelope, put it outside in the mailbox and my 17 year old thought it was new mail and put it on my desk. I didn't find it for two weeks, way past the deadline to submit! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...

Cards made with the Idea Deck Vol 2, 4♦ card.

I submitted these in the May 2015 Card Sketch Challenge. This was the sketch that we followed:

Tricia created a set of cutting instructions for the sketch on the Club Scrap blog. So many creative submissions with this sketch! There are no rules other than to try to follow the sketch as closely as possible, and, of course, the card should use at least 50% Club Scrap supplies. The winner(s) will be chosen randomly from the cards posted in the thread and will receive a GHM Gift Certificate from Club Scrap. A minimum of ten participants is required to qualify for a prize drawing. Check out the forum for the new challenges as they are posted!

National Parks Blog Hop!

Welcome to the June Blog Hop! This month we are road trippin' with the National Parks kit!

The last week of May my family and I took a trip to Colorado. When we got home, my pizza box was waiting for me on the front porch. I make a point NOT to peek at the Club Scrap kit spoilers, I love the surprise. And what a surprise! The National Park kit was PERFECT for my vacation photos!

This month's technique challenge was just the project I was looking for when planning how to scrap my vacation photos. All of the pictures were taken with our cell phones, and I discovered the Walgreens photo app for my iPhone. I uploaded my pictures and when I picked them up, the Instagram and Hipstamatic photos were printed 4x4 size. Perfect for the little square album! I adjusted the size to fit my photos and voila! 

I made a Pinterest National Parks mood board and found some really neat vintage travel posters. I resized them and printed them out on the cream cardstock. 

I had so many pictures! I ended up making little flip books on each page. 

 A few of the 4x6 photos needed a place and I trimmed them to fit in the little  pockets on some of the pages. I backed them with card stock so that they won't bend with use. I love this vintage travel poster! 

This was the pic on the reverse side of the Vail poster. Lots of group selfies on this trip!

These little flip books filled up fast! 

There's a whole lotta fun memories crammed in this little book.  It is so fun to share with all the interactive bits. I'll definately be making this project again and again! Next up on the hop is Annette's Digital Musings. Thanks for stopping by!
