owl punch.

have you seen the new owl punch in su!'s new catalog? it is so dang cute!! the samples i'm posting today were made by a fellow stamper, cris mccarthy. i can't wait to play with this and make my own projects, but until then, here are some of her cute samples. fyi: the next card class & scrapbooking class will be using this punch so stay tuned. Ü

*notice how cris used the heart (twice) to make a bow for the girl owl. love it!!

this is a little hanger for a water bottle, complete with crystal light. this girl owl has a hat & a bow. Ü

the boy & girl both have hats & the boy has a vest. super cute!

& i looove this one. the girl has a little bikini on and i love the boy's little tie. Ü

birds of a feather...

this is the scrapbook kit for the month. "birds of a feather flock together." i will set a date soon for this class, but you may order the kit if that is easier for you or you live out of the area. the cost is just $10! (add a few extra $$ if it needs to be shipped). this layout uses the new aviary stamp set and the paw prints designer series paper.

here is a better look at the 1st page of the layout...

...and here is the 2nd page. thanks for stopping by my blog today! Ü

aviary cards for 10/$10 class.

here are the cards we will be making for the next card class. there are 5 cards & you'll be making 2 of each design for just $10. i still need to set the date for this class--i'm waiting to get football game schedules for my boys before scheduling. i would hate to have a conflict & have to reschedule on you. Ü so, keep watching--a date will be set soon. also, if you'd just like to buy the class kit, you may do so. the price is the same + a few extra $$ for shipping. Ü just let me know if you'd like that option instead.

"for you from me"

"blank" so you can add whatever greeting you'd like. Ü

"thanks big time"

& "happy birthday." i love this set--these little birds and bird cages are sooo cute! Ü

aviary 10/$10 card class.

here are the cards we will be making for the next 10/$10 card class. all cards use the new aviary stamp set as well as the paw prints designer series paper. i loooove this set--so cute! i will post close-ups of the cards within the next few days.

on a side note, sorry for not having any new posts lately! we went on vacation and then i started a new part-time job a couple of weeks ago. so, needless to say, i unfortunately had to put my stamping on the back burner for a little while. anyway, thank you for your patience and hopefully, i will be able to stay more consistent once i get more used to my new schedule.

disneyland.

this is an 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" album (retired from su!, now) of our trip to california in 2008. yes, i know how far behind i am...my family scrapbooks are even further behind. Ü anyway, some of the papers and stuff you'll see on these pages have retired, but i hope they'll inspire you a little nonetheless. the size of the pages is not all that large so i really had to pick & choose pictures. i think i'll use the leftover pictures for a title page and the ending page. i haven't finished those (or even started them for that matter), but when i do, i'll be sure to share. enjoy...Ü

the first day of our trip, we went to sea world. that was sooo much fun!

more of our day at sea world...

flamingos & flowers...they were sooo beautiful! Ü

the 2nd day of our trip, the 1st day at disneyland. everyone was so excited to see everything and ride ALL the rides. Ü

lego land...the store. we didn't take them to the amusement park, because just the store was heaven on earth for my boys! Ü

these are some pics of the end of our 1st day at disneyland. the bottom right picture is all the kids sacked out on the bed...except for tommy...he loves tv and is mesmerized by it. Ü

i plan on journaling about everything on the long rectangle area on the 2nd page.

on the morning of our 3rd day, we ate breakfast (really early Ü) at goofy's kitchen. tons of disney characters come and visit with you while you eat...well, the kids don't really eat much because they're so interested in all the characters. Ü

day 3 was spent at california adventure. tons of fun rides, but didn't have the "magical" feeling of disneyland. Ü

on day 4, we went back to disneyland & rode all the rides we loved. we also had to let the boys take on darth vader.

i think this layout may have too much "white." i've been thinking on what to add to tone it down a bit.

perhaps some designer paper, here & there, in a blue or grey.

day 5 was for universal studios.

i'm thinking that i will probably add more to this layout once i figure out what i feel it is missing.

maybe some sort of other small embellishment(s) that add a little more texture...

the last layout of the album...we went to an la dodgers game. super fun, but it was rained out.
