Calvinball #9, CR Smith Museum

Another layout completed this afternoon using, Echo Park, "All about a Boy" by Lori Whitlock.  I'm calling the layout, CR Smith Museum although the layout really doesn't have a title. JT and I went to the museum because of a visiting Lego exhibit and had a great day, not only because of the Lego exhibit but the American Airline part of the museum we found really exciting and interesting. This layout was fun to make, I could have embellished for days, as it was I went sticker and die cut happy.

Boys Love Toys, Calvinball #8

Been playing in the scrap loft today and made this layout featuring Echo Park collection "All about a boy" by Lori Whitlock.  It is a beautiful collection and was really easy to put this together.  However, being that it is for Calvinball I had to add some stamping and of course a few wood veneers since they have appeared on the rules list for points!

Hope everyone is having a happy, scrappy day.

Calvinball layout #7 (I think)

John with his 2 precious boys, 4th of July 2014 weekend.

I'm thinking this is layout #7 and today is the 5th.  I also did 3 Christmas layouts that were all of the photo cards we received in 2014 since they aren't necessarily family I haven't posted them anywhere, So plugging along, to play & in the competitive spirit of Calvinball I feel like I'm getting bunches accomplished. GO ME!!!

Watch Me! another Calvinball layout (#6).& Shimelle play along

YAY~~~  I found time to get a layout done!  I was over the card making...
This is a monochromatic, nothing but scraps, hand made elements layout, I went through my scrap pile and decided I had more pink scraps than any other color, decision made...lol

I've spent more time in the craft loft in the last 4 days than I have EVER!  I think scrubby is getting jealous - oh well. (he'll get over it).

Til tomorrow...

Seriously done with the coloring....
back to layouts, til next time!

Calvinball cards #1-#4

Cards are awarded 1/2 point for #Calvinball2016 I am in need of a birthday card this weekend for my stepmoms 70th birthday.  While I had the card stuff out I threw together 3 Easter cards, I need to make a few more of those.  I found some St. Patrick's confetti (in my stash) and I would like to make a few cards to prank a couple of friends with the confetti.  So for today, so far I've done 4 cards, hopefully I will be able to work on a layout this evening.
Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am.

Calvinball #4 & #5 July 4 2014 Fireworks & Mimi's Kids

I have a Americana 12 x 12 envelope that I've had for years and years, in it is everything that I've ever owned in that category.  I had these photos from 4th of July in Pflugerville 2014 that I wanted to get into the book.  Sorry for the sticker sneeze, and stickle explosion, but hey I figured if I hadn't used them up in the last 10 years what was I saving them for??

During the same 4th of July trip I was able to actually be in a series of photos with the grandbabies.  A very rare occurrence, I wanted to get it documented. I used Carta Bella, Soak up the sun collection. Of which I have discovered I have double, I'm going to be sick of it by the time I'm done.

Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am playing along with Calvinball.  I'm having a terrible time with the gallery at Get It Scrapped, I'm thinking of no longer posting there and just use my blog. I sorta feel bad about it though because the comments and knowing someone is seeing my pages is really a nice part of the community over there.  I'll think about it....
