I know I am a slacker....LOL I have still been scrappin...just not posting on my blog. Shame on me!! I have entered a challenge at Mycreativescrapbook.com and won. I am so shocked since there were so many great layouts entered. I am in complete wow right now. I will share this layout that I submitted of my mom. She was around 16 or 17 and I love this young picture of her. Reminds me that she once was young too. Now she is 77 and fighting Lymphomia Leuikemia. So anytime that I see a younger more vibrant mother....Makes me know just how blessed I am to still have her.

Vintage altered book for challenge at Marion Smith's

This Vintage Book is for a challenge at Marion Smith "A Piece of Craft" Blog. Marion works for Prima and is an outstanding artist. So, I decided to join in the fun. I got this book at a good will store. It smelled so old when I was working on it....Reminds me of how my grandmother's house used to smell. Brought back some of the best times of my child hood. She was the most awesome Grammy that anyone could have!!

With this book I used Tattered Angel's glimmer mist, Prima flowers and Prima Bling,(I changed the color of the pearl's with some Tattered Angel's Glim Glam I think is what it is called...some ribbon bought at Hobby Lobby, Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and Black Soot Distress Ink. I made the book charms with glass beads and charms from my collection. Hope you like what I have created....I loved making it and will make more of these altered books.

I know you think I got lost.

I have been working on some cute vintage journals. I have done 6 of these. I had watched Prima Live on Ustream. Marion Smith of Prima was teaching this video on making these with lace. I love to use paint and used to tole paint so I loved this project. I made my own flowers with the Retro 3 sizes from EK Success. Hope you like them....I sure had some fun making them!!









These are made from curtains from a house that my mom and step-dad bought in Virginia. My mom still had them after all these years...so I cut them up. LOL

The paper used is Bazzill (White and Black) Background paper used was Paisly by Bo Bunny. I also used Ranger Ink Paint Dabbers (White and Raspberry), and vintage photo Distress ink for the Brown on the Dachshund, Tattered Angels Mist Olive Branch for the leaves and some white embossing powder.

Here is a box that I made usiing Myscrapchick.com files. This is a trinket box. My friend Angel made one of these a while back and yes, I knew I had to make one!! She got it from this website..( http://min-hobbyblogg.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-box-with-4-drawers ) This box was so much fun to make. I put 2 layers instead of one...Hope you like....






Here is the poem that I used:
A Dog's Best Friend
O Lord, don't let me once forget
How I love my trusty pet-
Help me learn to disregard
canine craters in my yard
Show me how to be a buddy
even when my sofa's muddy,
Don't allow my pooch to munch
postal carriers for lunch,
Shield my neighbor's cat from view,
guide my steps around the doo,
Train me not to curse and scowl,
when it's puppy's night to howl,
Grant I shan't awake in fear
with a cold nose in my ear,
Give me patience without end-
Help me be; A DOG'S BEST FRIEND.
