FRIDAY NIGHT FUN!!! MORE FROM THE "BEE"

Last night I had another girls scrapping night with my friend Maraline and I was able to complete 2 more layouts using photos from my last trip to Ohio for the "Bee Happy Bee Scrappy" crop with Robin's Scrap Nest.

My first layout uses Make It Monday sketch #49 
from The Memory Nest.  

and my layout - 

These photos were from a tag class with

 Shannon Commerford Wroblewski.

Robin always makes the most amazing name badges

 for her crops!  So much detail!

Don't you love this bee?  I used them on my ATC cards and had so many left over that I have been using them on a lot of the layouts from this crop!

I hope you have enjoyed a bit more from my trip.  There will soon be a page that will come before this last one chronologically that will show you why Robin was crying.

Have an awesome weekend!

AT THE START OF SPRING

I am still scrapping the start of winter!  LOL!  I finally found the envelope of photos with the first snowfall of the season in it.  I went into my winter stash and picked out some paper and embellishments and got to work..

I started with a navy backing sheet to match the page that will go across from this one.  There was a really pretty SEI patterned paper of snow and trees that I decided would be perfect as it would pull the two pages together.  I had a great vellum quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, some snowflake stickers, a title sticker from an Echo Park sheet and a Jack Frost puffy sticker that coordinates with the ones on the other page.  

And here it is:

I am entering this in the 3 Scrappy Boys Spring 2014 Crop First Challenge which calls for using stash that is at least one year old for this layout. The only new item on the page is the photos!  I suspect that most of the supplies used go way beyond one year old!  I am a terrible scrap supply hoarder!  

I am also entering this in Scrapbook.com April Monochrome Aquadoodle and Scrapbook.com April Boys Only.

Hope you all are enjoying a peaceful and blessed Easter.

Thanks for stopping by.

ALMOST NATIONAL CARD MAKING DAY!

Before I head to bed I thought it would be appropriate to post a card in honor of tomorrow's National Card Making Day...

Over at Colorful Creations there is a fun crop going on this weekend.  There is a challenge for a card using fall colors and a fall themed stamp.

There was a recipe over at Critter Sketch Challenge Blog that called for 2 different colors of paper, 2 different ribbons and 2 brads.  I opted to use patterned papers so that the solids I used and the ribbons I used also came from those colors.

I put these together and came up with this card:

Thanks for stopping by to see my card.  Hope that you will also stop by and join in the fun at the crop over at Colorful Creations.
