this lil girl

the ScrapTiffany challenge is now up....
this time the challenge was to do a layout using our fave manufacturer.
my all time favez are Sassafras & Hambly.
on this LO i used all out Hambly.
used a couple of photos of our lil girlie girl.
the transparencies, rub-ons, and patterned papers were perfect for them.
she was only a few minutes old in the 1st one and 6 dayz old in the 2nd.
isn't she a cutie???

i also used some punches, paint, glitter, and a daisyd rub-on w/c i found in my stash.
anchored the hearts with some foam adhesive.
i love hambly.
just wished amm kit club would put more of it in their kits and even more sassfras.
hmmm...i just gotta do an LO with all Sass in it.
someday.

featuring a fashionista

it's that time again to do a nice full reveal, fashion-week-style, on the ScrapTiffany blog today for the Weekly Challenge:  "Brads & Eyelets."  the ScrapTiffany Design Team and I have some fab-o-lous creations to show you today, so go on over and check it out and play along by clicking here: Week #29, Challenge, Part 2.

for my take, i did one on my daughter entitled "She is Maiya the Fashionista."  i used some alpha brads i got from Joann's Fabrics that were on sale as part of the title.  i also used some silver brads at the left top corner of my LO which added extra interest to the hand-cut arrows and it helped move the eyes towards the pictures.  then i decked out punched circles and punched stars with some different colored brads just to add a little texture and a little bling-y-ness to them.  for this LO, i used the Creative Scrappers sketch #112.  i love their sketches!

here it is, featuring of course, my baby boo:

and some close-ups of the brads deetz:

(supplies used:  Sassafras, Joann's, American Crafts, Fiskars, EK Success, Rubberstampede, Basic Grey)

Happy Monday Nite!

Well it's been a great weekend! I scrapped pretty much all weekend especially all of Friday after I worked for a couple of hours from home.

Here is one of the LO's I did this past Friday:I used the majority of the products from the Bad Girls Kit January '09 except for the round circle chipboard by Scenic Route.

This is a picture I found of my best friend back in college, Claire. I lost touch with her a long time ago when she moved to Mexico. I wrote her one time but never heard from her. I think she may be in New York now. But I'm unsure. One of these days I will find her.

On a happier note, here's something I made for my daughter, Maiya, for her art portfolio. She is very artistic, loves to draw, paint and of course scrapbook. I used mostly Sassafras Las products on this one:

I will be posting the rest of my pages I did Friday sometime this week. TFL! Have a Great Nite! Off to do homework with my lil boo.
