New video up on the Spellbinders blog

Hi everyone!  Super quick post today letting you know I have a new video up on the Spellbinders blog.  Check it out if you have a chance.  My project is a layout of the mama red breasted robin mama and her chickies who lived on my backyard deck rafters.  We had such fun following the progress of this nest!

The layout features Spellbinders new font dies and my favie flowers, Bitty Blossoms and I go into detail how I form my roses from the Bitty Blossom dies.

Thanks for stopping by here is a close up picture.

Spellbinders project -Play ball!

Hi everyone!  I am taking some time away from crafting this summer, so I thought I would share a scrapbook page I made for the Spellbinders gallery earlier this year. You can find this and more projects in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery.

I made this page with some pictures of my son Ryan at one of his T-Ball games.  LOVE these pictures.  His elementary school even blew up the main photo into poster sized and put it up in the gym!

I used the Circle and Cogs die sets and paired them with the rhinestone circles from Want2Scrap.

 

Here are some close up pictures.

Another Savvy Saturday video

Hi everyone!  I am up on the Spellbinders blog today with another video!  This my 4th video and I am happy to report they are getting much easier to make.  I am down to about 4 hours from start to finish.

The theme this week is layouts and I scrapped some fun pics of my boys using the PageMaps by Becky Fleck designer collection of dies.

Check it out the video if you have a minute or two.  Here is a peek at my page.

Savvy Saturday video up on the Spellbinders blog

Hi everyone!!  I have my second Spellbinders Savvy Saturday video up on the Spellbinders blog today!  If you have a minute (or 11), please stop by, watch it and leave me a comment over there to let me know what you think.  Behind the scenes this video went much more smoother and quicker.  I find I actually like doing videos, who would have thought?!?

Here is a sneak peek of the project I made -a summer scrapbook page!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great Saturday!

Spellbinders projects -a page and note cards

Hi everyone! I am working behind the scenes on new releases for Gina K Designs and the upcoming Spellbinders release, so I thought I would share a couple projects I made for the Spellbinders gallery this year. You can find these and more projects in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery.

I made this scrapbook page back in May and it focuses on the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes die set.  This set designed by Julianna Hudgins is one of my all time favorites.  I LOVE the flowers and the flourishes are delicate and perfect!

I made this trio of note cards back in June using Labels One and Scallop Labels One dies and stamps from Waltzingmouse.

 Thanks for stopping by!  Here is a couple close up picture of the page which shows the embossing/stenciling details.

My Runner and Ryan's Tree

Hi everyone!  I have 2 layouts to share with you today.  Many of you know part of the requirements on the Spellbinders DT is 1 layout a month.  This part of the job has always daunted me.  But I have to say over 1 1/2 years of doing these, it IS getting easier!!  lol! 

You can now find these layouts in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery along with many other DT projects that will inspire you.  First up is a layout I did using a photo of Bill running one of his 1/2 marathons (so proud of you Honey!). The title for this page was actually cut out of an alphabet paper.  This layout uses papers from Kaisercraft.

Here are the Spellbinder dies I used in this layout:

• S4-092 Stars Five
• S4-114 Standard Circles LG
• S5-094 Labels and Tags

• LF-114 Grand Circles
• Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine

Next up is a layout I made with pictures of my youngest, Ryan, up in "his tree".  This little guy LOVES to climb anything!!  This layout uses papers from My Mind's Eye.

 Here are the Spellbinder dies I used in this layout:
