Scraplings - Mosy Style

I know - WHAT TO HECK IS A SCRAPLING!?!?!?! Well, I was browsing through some blogs and saw these tall skinny cards on Jennifer Buck's blog. Little did I realize that the time that they were tiny! As I followed the link to Splitcoast Stampers, I found that the "technical" scrapling size is 1.25" x 4.25". Scraplings are small cards used from the paper you cut off your cardstock. Since I scrap in 9x9, I actually cut 3" off each side. So mine are actually 2" x 4.25" and the Get Well scrapling is 2.5" x 4.25".

They are the cutest little cards. I figure they'd be perfect for lunch notes, place cards, or even

just a pick-me-up for a friend!! You will definitely be seeing more of these from me!

These were also made from the Mosy Scrapper January Phoebe kit. And as previously stated (if

you have visited me in the past few days) I still have a bunch of papers leftover!

As always, thanks for visiting.

Mosy Scrapper - Day 3

This is my lovely daughter and her boyfriend before my friend Christine's wedding. I think I previously posted the picture, but that big black flower cut out of the Mosy Scrapper kit went so good with her dress I just had to use it!!

It's a relatively simple layout - which is how I scrap most often! And a short post - I am sorry to say. Come back tomorrow! I have Scraplings!

Thanks for visiting!

More Mosy...and Cupcake Challenge

Here is more from the Mosy Scrapper January Phoebe kit!! You will be amazed atall the stuff that is in this kit!! The papers are SEI, you get buttons, cardstocked, patterned paper, some of the paper is embossed!! It's a great kit...there's also lace, rubons, buttons, and an alphabet. Plus more!! lol

This also happens to be a sketch from Taylor's Friday Cupcake Challenge! I love to be able to multi-task! It was a great layout for a card but worked well for a scrapbook page as well. If you keep coming back here, you might see a card made from this sketch too!!

The lovely young lady in the photo would be my daugther Amanda. I believe the picture was taken on January 2nd of this new year!

As always, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog...and did you see my Blog-a-versary counter over there??? There's gonna be some blog candy soon!!

Come back tomorrow for some more Mosy Scrapper goodness!!

Mosy Scrapper GDT

I was asked to be the Mosy Scrapper for January several months ago!! They had a contest and I was selected for January. I can't tell you how excited I was.

My kit arrived a little late -but it was well worth the wait!! This kit is SO FULL you won't believe it. I probably will have posts for you for the next four days and I think I have only used half the paper in it for those four posts!!

This is the Mosy Scrapper "Phoebe" kit. They also have a second kit called "Kirby". You'll have to go and check them out. I "stole" the layout from Limelight Papercrafts. I saw it on my friend Katie's blog and said - Hey, I can turn that into a layout - which I do often with card sketches I see. Again I will say that I scrap in a 9x9 size, which is closer to card size than 12x12! LOL

So run over to Mosy - check out the details of this kit and I will tell you it is SO worth it!!

Thanks for visiting!!

12 Days of Christmas - #4

Yes - I am still on the 12 Days of Christmas! And probably will be until after they end on the 6th of January.

This is challenge #4 - Use a Bird on a layout...and as Lori (of Apron Strings Designs) put it (not THE bird) LOL. And I had pictures of "the" bird, so I could have...lol

Anyway, where is is - bird on layout. The birds are cut using QuicKutz dies from CropStop.com - many of you may know that I am the QuicKutz specialist over at CropStop, so you will see a lot of QK dies from me!! Anyway...the papers used here weren't actually a kit - they were what they call a Cookie Jar Treat - it was a contest win! As were the letters - which are actually fabric! Love how it turned out. This also uses the Verve challenge sketch. And one more challenge - uses April's color challenge over at the Mosy Scrapper - orange with yellow...of course, I did add green and white, but....gotta bend the rules somewhere! LOL But since I got so much accomplished in one layout, I can't really complain!

So come back for more...hopefully there'll be more up tomorrow...

Thanks for visiting!

Another Two-fer!!!

Hello there! Nice to see everybody visiting, and if you haven't already, be sure to check out the brand new CropStop.com Design Team! They are linked to your left.

I love this layout! It was actually a challenge last weekend on Simply Obsessed, but I didn't get to it in time for their online crop. However, I had been participating in the Scrapbooking American Idol Design Team Contest (my name for it) over at The Mosy Scrapper and had been challenged in Round 3 (the final round) to use what I considered a popular scrapbooking trend. Now, I am not the trendiest person around, so I was a little apprehensive about this round. After searching through my scrapbooking magazines I was ready to go! Scallops, Texture, Bling and the challenge from Simply Obsessed to do an All White layout - that's beautiful layout you see is what I came up with! (And I did get the January Guest Designer Spot over at The Mosy Scrapper!!!!!)

And the details - cardstock, sticker letters and scalloped velvet ribbon came out of an Apron Strings Designs kit. Photo mat is embossed using the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder from http://www.cropstop.com/. Scallops were cut using the new QuicKutz 12" border die. Clear dew drops and white Doodlebug sugar coated brads from cropstop.com.

As always ~ thanks for visiting!

Here's the Skinny...

The Mosy Scrapper is in the middle of it's Design Team Call. I decided to go for it! So they are doing elimination rounds - which is such fun!!! The first challenge was to create a layout about "what you have done thus far this summer". Now, I personally have never done one of these layouts that incorporates a whole time period, so this one was new for me. So I wanted to get as many pictures on there as possible (very different from what I have been doing which is about one picture at a time) ~ so I cut the pictures skinny, instead of into squares ~ hence the title - The Skinny on Summer! (cute, huh?)

Anywho, I am very please with how it came out, even though there isn't a lot of fluff and frill...it is, after all, about the pictures!

So I hope you like it!! As always, thanks for visiting!
