A Scrapper's Delight

Mini Album : Welcome Blake

2011-07-24T23:05:00.003-04:00

I completed this mini album for a dear friend Tiffany who is expecting her second sweet little baby boy. Blake should be here in August and his album is waiting :)

I used the Safari Boy line from Best Creations to embellish the Kaisercraft album. I dyed all the colored ribbon myself using Tattered Angels Glimmermists.

The album is approximately 9.5"x4" not including the tabs.

I can't wait to see her face when I meet up with her this week to give her the album.

Baby you can drive my car...

2011-07-10T19:32:00.001-04:00

I love love love these pictures of Madi. She dug her car out of the laundry room and drove it ALL over the basement. The pics of her adding her toys to the passenger seat are missing on this layout because I still have more to do.

After I took the photo of the layout and was editing the size Madi came and climbed into my lap. She kept pointing at the picture and saying "Happy mommy, Madi happy". She is a mess and keeps my days from ever being boring!

PMS Challenge!

2011-07-07T21:22:00.004-04:00

With the July new release came a couple of challenges. The first being a "nautical" challenge that I JUST FINISHED ;) I am headed now to party with the PMS Makeup Artists!

Imaginisce Summertime Challenge

2011-06-25T21:40:00.004-04:00

The challenge for June on the Imaginisce blog is to use this picture for inspiration:

Along with these lyrics:

Summer Holiday
We're all going on a summer holiday
no more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday,
no more worries for me or you,
for a week or two.

We're going where the sun shines brightly
we're going where the sea is blue.
we've all seen it on the movies,
now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
doin' things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday,
to make our dreams come true
for me and you.
for me and you.

And this is my take on it using Imaginisce Animal Crackers paper and embellishments. Alphas are from American Crafts, Bella Blvd, and Sassafrass.

Happy Hour

2011-06-18T23:16:00.003-04:00

Last night there was a happy hour sketch over at Memorable Seasons. It began at 9pm and you had 1.5 hours to get your lo done, photographed and uploaded. I was able to finish just under the wire! I really enjoyed the process though and am completely satisfied with the layout that I was able to complete.

A picture of Madi was my inspiration and "you are" came into my head. I turned that into the complete titling of "just the way you are" and my journaling on the lo describes how I never imagined that I would be parenting one of *those* children. You know the ones who are loud and wide open and no matter what you really think the parents aren't doing anything to control it. YEP, I have one. After watching her grow (in size and personality) I realize that I don't WANT her to be quiet and reserved, she just WOULDN'T be me Madi if she was. I love her outgoing personality, the way she adapts to change, the hugs/kisses and love she has. She goes with the flow and goes at it full force. I can't wait to see where she leads me!

Remember when....

2011-04-29T23:19:00.003-04:00

When I saw the challenge at Scrapfit to scrap a picture from your childhood I remembered this picture I came across when I was cleaning the laundry room earlier this month and knew I had to scrap it. This picture was taken at Sears (which is where my mom always had our pictures taken) I was 3 here and when I see it I think of my girls (who both showed a STRONG resemblence to me at this age) and it makes me smile. and remember when... live was simple and there were no worries.

Lucky me!

2011-03-19T22:49:00.003-04:00

So today was extremely trying. The whole day, just trying in general. I had to run out and do a bit of shopping and took 3 of the kids with me. I went to WalMart which invloved a checkout time of more than 20 minutes. Yep more than 20 minutes with a 2 year old (I'm sure you can only imagine)... I was just frustrated by the end of the day and sat down to edit some photos to unwind a bit. Then I see this photo and realize how silly all those frustrations were. Really? My sweet son is winking at me. How lucky I am to be their mom.

The Gift for Noel Mignon challenge

2010-12-16T22:28:00.002-05:00

When I saw THIS challenge on the Noel Mignon blog I knew I wanted to complete it. I started thinking about the best gift I have ever received. I couldn't believe how many things came to mind almost immediately. You think that if it is "THE BEST" you would be able to select it quickly right? WRONG! HA, my first thought was my husband and children. I am blessed to have a man who loves me and be a mother of 4. My next thought was Cadbury Easter eggs for Valentine's Day. A tradition my DH started the first year we were married. After thinking and thinking I realized the best gift I have EVER received is a white box. A WHITE BOX?? (I'm not crazy I assure you). It was the lesson learned with that box that is the greatest gift. The lesson not to "judge a book by it's cover" and "things aren't always what they seem". I received a white box for Christmas as a young child. Not a barbie box, not playdoh, nothing on the outside of the box that I recognized and I was HEARTBROKEN (not because I was an ungrateful child or spoiled, I just didn't "get it" yet). After some heavy convincing from my parents I finally opened that plain white box and found a teddy bear that became one of my most beloved toys. I had that bear up through high school until it got destroyed in a move. I learned that the things you think aren't worth anything are the most valuable treasures you will ever find.

Placecards and a WINNER :)

2010-11-18T22:26:00.004-05:00

I decided to go ahead and make some placecards for the American Crafts blog challenge this week. I really love the blue and brown combo.

All patterned paper, buttons, and Thickers are from American Crafts.

Also I have a winner for the card kit from Paper Makeup. In true RANDOM fashion...

Congrats Michelle! Please email me your info @ ascrappersdelight@verizon.net so I can get your card kit mailed out to you!

School Tray + a GIVEAWAY!

2010-11-07T20:37:00.004-05:00

So I finally finished up this tray last night and LOVE IT! I am so happy with the way it turned out (and I remembered how much I LOVE Crate paper, the texture makes my happy). I created this as a GDT member for Life Preservers using their School special edition kit and project kit addition.

And I have a card kit to giveaway from

PAPER MAKEUP as well and decided tonight was a great day to do it since it is the night of their release party!

I will announce the winner on 11/14. Just leave a comment for your chance to win!

My first COMPLETED PMS card

2010-09-07T19:44:00.002-04:00

I love my PMS stamps and stamp with them all the time. Getting to a complete project? Now that's a whole different story LOL. This is the FIRST card that has been completed but I am super pleased with the way it turned out. Uses the Celestial Possibilities fairy stamp and she is a beauty!

September Layouts for Scraptastic Club

2010-09-07T12:29:00.002-04:00

For September I got to design with the MME Alphabet Soup kit available at Scraptastic Club. It is packed with so much MME goodness! I have already completed 3 layouts and 1 card and still have plenty to work with!

Paper Makeup Stamps September release

2010-09-05T09:45:00.004-04:00

Card is by Christi Snow a PMS artist
Ok so I don't think I have shared it here yet (well actually I am sure I haven't HA) but PaperMakeupStamps are my ABSOLUTE favorite stamps. I have always collected fairies and when I found these I was in love. Instantly. So not only do the have amazing new fairies every month, but this month Katie is releasing a duck. A DUCK. In my house ducks are awesome, Madi loves them and Duck was one of the first words she said clearly. She also hollers DUCK DUCK anytime she sees one. It is the cutest.thing.ever. So this new release Bubbles the Duck will surely be making its way to me next week as soon as I can buy it on the site. Be sure to check out PMS and I'm sure you'll be hooked too! (they also have the most awesome sentiments/quotes/wordart for those who aren't into fairies)

Challenge of the Week at Life Preserver's

2010-04-27T22:09:00.004-04:00

The challenge issued by Andrea this week was to make a layout using this photo

as your inspiration.

This is my layout featuring My Little Shoebox papers and a handmade paper rose.

Juice

2010-04-26T20:11:00.004-04:00

Not the kind you drink. Actually, its not really juice at all. His name is Mike and he is the husband of my great friend Tiffany. My sweet little son decided when he was 2 that he was going to call Mike "JUICE" nothing else would do. I was so stoked when I found this picture of the 2 of them so I could capture the memory. Braylon was so excited to hear the guitar through the headphones!

Scrapping Fun

2010-04-25T20:04:00.002-04:00

I have really enjoyed having my room clean so I could sit at my table and just create! I got three more layouts completed this weekend. This one holds a special place in my heart because this is when my Grandfather got to meet my youngest daughter. This is such a wonderful thing because my dear dear Grandfather has Dementia and has the beginnings of Alzheimers. Somedays he doesn't even know who I am and living 12 hours away doesn't help things at all. (he believes regularly that my oldest DD is me because she looks so much like I did at her age) These pics are from Easter 2009.

Something Old into Something New

2010-04-24T20:49:00.004-04:00

Gabby (my oldest DD shown in yesterdays post ;) brought me a clipboard from her room and said "Mom can you *fix* this for me into something pretty?" I was touched that she enjoys my work so much that she wanted me to *fix* it for her. I started looking for the perfect items to use on it and make it personal for her. I wanted to paint the background because it had been drawn on, had REALLY old scotch tape, etc. I looked through my scrap arsenal and was discouraged because I didn't think I had any green paint, when a lightbulb when off and I realized (TOTAL DUH MOMENT) that I had acrylic paint daubers from Ranger and that Lettuce would be the perfect color.

I tried to "dab" it on and that was a no-go so I poured some onto my non stick craft mat and started to paint (I really enjoy the Claudine Hellmuth paintbrushes), then had another "AHA" moment and remembered to take a before picture. There is a bit of paint on it but thats ok. You can still see the drawings though LOL.

After covering with paint I cover with some paper from My Little Shoebox. I punched around the edges with my Martha Stewart punches as well. The letter stickers are from My Little Shoebox as well.

At the top of the clipboard I attached a rose made out of grungepaper then covered in Bubblegum Glimmermist. It is so shimmery! Tie a black bow on and it is ready to go!

Gabby was extremely happy with the results!

My Scraproom

2010-04-23T21:55:00.002-04:00

Even after griping that my dear husband was insistant on me cleaning up my space, I am so glad I did!! (I will NOT be showing the before pictures) I wanted to get some shots of it before it ended up a mess again. I really enjoy having the two tables to work on. One for my "messy" stuff such as sprays and paints, and one for the not so messy stuff such as cutting paper (I have super large self healing Making Memories cutting mat on that table) My messy table also hosts a Ranger non-stick crafting mat which is one of the bestest crafting items EVER.

Whichever table I am sitting at I have plenty of supplies within reach and enjoy turning on my stereo and enjoying the blissful peace. It also has a door to the outside which I love when the weather is nice because I can leave the door open and slide open the screen for some fresh air and natural light.

American Crafts Green Challenge

2010-03-23T15:46:00.003-04:00

When I saw the challenge on the AC blog I knew the new "I DO" collection would work perfect for me! I used patterned paper and felt embellishments from the I DO line (with green accents). I also used the pearlized chipboard Thickers from the I DO line as well.

other supplies used: tulle by Bazzill, pin from Maya Road, border punch from Fiskars

Scrapfit Challenge #15

2010-03-14T23:20:00.002-04:00

I saw the challenge at Scrapfit and knew it was perfect for this picture that I didn't know what to do with. Things are very unconventional at the bank that I work for so I wanted to document that. Along with the changes this job has brought into my family.

New Layout and Another Rose!

2010-02-28T23:37:00.002-05:00

WOOHOOO I got another rose in the Scrap Bachelor contest at LPS. This has been such a fun contest (cause they definitely know how to have scrap fun at Life Preserver's).

I also completed the sketch blog hop challenge. Rhonda posted about it on the LPS message board so I checked it out tonight and it fit perfectly with some photos from Braylon's birthday this week so I got them scrapped! I love this paper from Scrap Within Reach.

2010 SIMPLIFY

2010-01-17T21:37:00.002-05:00

My word for 2010 is definitely SIMPLIFY. I want to incorporate this into all areas of my life. I want to take the time to do the things that I enjoy. I am going to scrap! I am going to make cards! I am going to take the time to visit with my friends. I am going to spend QUALITY time with my children. They love to play games, tickle and laugh. I am looking forward to things looking up!

<3
Jessica

I am SO EXCITED!

2009-11-03T16:02:00.003-05:00

I have been chosen as November's Guest Designer at Memorable Season's I got the message from Detta and couldn't believe it! MS is my favorite scrappy store. Jill offers the newest products and is always willing to special order things that are requested. There is always some great deals and she frequently has sales! Even on BRAND NEW product! If you haven't checked it out you definitely should! There is also a referral system in place as well so if you go tell her Jessica sent you! (if you refer someone she will give you a 20% off coupon code, how cool is that??)

October?? Where did September go?

2009-10-07T20:05:00.004-04:00

I can't believe that September came and went and I completely dropped the ball on blogging all month. OOPS. Maybe it was school going full swing, maybe it was the girls starting volleyball, maybe it was Gabby starting dance classes, or maybe just maybe it was because my DH lost his job. Yep thats probably it. Things have to go back up from here though. You always feel so compassionate when you hear about someone losing their job and think it can't happen to you. When it does the reality that sets in is TOUGH.

I am on vacation from work this week so that is definitely a plus! I have no plans (I tried to go to Disney but no one would give me tickets LOL)

I did get some scrapping done in the last couple weeks especially participating in the online crop held at Memorable Seasons. Here is my fav from the event:

Gotta go back, back, back to school again!!

2009-08-27T19:18:00.000-04:00

WOOHOO!!! The kiddos are back in school! (just kidding, well kinda) Actually I have missed the girls like crazy over the summer so I am glad to have them home. It only took 2 days for me to be ready for them to go to school though. In 4th grade here they get to change classes during the day so that is something new and exciting for them. I am happy to have them well adjusted and prepared for the new year. Madi is growing like a weed and Braylon is still Mama's boy.

Life is good!

MME Blog Sketch challenge

2009-08-20T21:42:00.002-04:00

When I saw the sketch challenge on the MME blog I knew I had to make a LO for it. MME is one of my favorite paper companies. Their releases never fail to please.

On a side note, in the BIG SCRAPPER HOUSE I won the weekly dinner and the prize of my choice! WOOHOO

Construction Season

2009-08-06T21:16:00.002-04:00

I have been participating in the Construction Season challenge that Carmen is hosting over at Willow Traders. She is an awesome hostess with the way she has styled it that we can create ANYTHING!! We can do anything crafty and just have to put in how long we are going to work on it! FAB!! Here's a couple of my projects!

Off? On a Monday?

2009-07-27T09:20:00.002-04:00

Wow! It feels crazy to be home during the day on Monday! My day is normally filled with approving payroll, contacting customers, profit projections, charge off calculations, profit improvement plans, marketing plans, conference calls, and all the regular banking transactions that come along. Instead I am home watching the "Magic Schoolbus" (although that is definitely NOT the highlight of my day Braylon does enjoy it!) The bank is being audited tomorrow so my normal Tuesday off will be filled with loads of fun!

Oh well, I am going to make the most of today anyway. Have some cleaning and laundry to catch up on. I am also going to finish the gear album I have been working on with my Grease Monkey collection from BoBunny that was in my project kit from LPS. I have been messing with it for so long so I can achieve the look I want with ribbon coming out from all angles, with tags behind all the pics. I painted it with Maya Mist which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I will get the pics posted sometime this week! WOOHOO it feels so good when things get finished!

Bad Girls are having a birthday!

2009-07-27T09:09:00.003-04:00

Speaking of birthdays... mine is in 3 weeks so I am hoping my DH will take a hint and buy me one of these amazing kits!! This one is one of my favorites from February. Look at all that yummy goodness waiting for someone to just dig in! The thing I love about the Bad Girls kits the most is the way Wendy has classes to help you use what you bought. You don't just buy all the mediums and have to idea what to do with them LOL... We have all done it and it is no fun to have goodies sitting there and the HUH? that you get when you look at them. Head on over and check out the new way she is doing the kits so she can continue creating!

Everything but the kitchen sink??

2009-07-14T16:14:00.002-04:00

I saw this on the Core'dinations blog and my first thought was huh?? what does the kitchen sink have to do with my favorite cardstock LOL! After reading I discovered it was actually a challenge to use something other that a "normal" (whats normal anyway?) scrappy supply to showcase the awesome things that you can do with the cardstock like no other. In my layout I created a background paper with circles by using an old jar top. Pretty cool huh? You can sand, tear, emboss... the possibilities are endless with this colored core cardstock!

Glimmer Mist is the same great product with a Fabulous NEW Look

2009-07-06T16:47:00.002-04:00

Over at Tattered Angels they are changing the labeling on Glimmer Mists. They are going to look like the bottles in the photo so keep it in mind when shopping for your favorite colors (mine is Watermelon YUMMM)

Happy 4th!

2009-07-04T10:00:00.001-04:00

Be sure to take a moment today and be thankful for our FREEDOM as AMERICANS!! If you see a soldier give them a big thanks and let them know it is BECAUSE OF THEM that we are able to celebrate today!

Amazing Race is on...

2009-06-25T20:39:00.001-04:00

Head on over and wish the contestants good luck in the Amazing Race challenge over at
Rusty Pickle They are looking for a new chef and the race is already under way!

Who can resist a dare??

2009-06-08T21:03:00.004-04:00

Especially when it involves glitter and shimmer! Over at the Shimmerz blog they have a new Tuesday "challenge". Well actually a DARE and who backs down from a dare? Certainly not me! This week was to use Shimmerz on a frame! This frame has ROYAL PURPLE shimmerz covering the Dream Street patterned paper that I used. I also used the same purple shimmerz on the tips of the flower. I am pleased with the way it turned out and will put a pic of my sweet Madi in it!

Day #5

2009-05-22T13:36:00.003-04:00

So today is day #5 that I have spent at least 1/2 the day at home due to the dang strep throat that is going around. Monday I left work to go to the Dr's office who didn't believe I was sick until the test results came back positive (I have actually had it for over a month since going to FL in April). Tuesday was my scheduled day off. Wednesday I headed back to work still feeling crappy but on medication and going anyway. About 1 the phone rings and its the sitter, Madi is sick too. UGH! Fever over 100 and she won't eat a thing. Back to the Dr's office and she wrote me out until Saturday. It would be nice to be off if everyone was well but that's not the case so we are just hanging in.

Go visit Melissa's blog

WOOHOO

2009-04-01T20:02:00.002-04:00

Yep that's a WOOHOO! I broke into another kit. I made this layout with the February kit from Scrapbook Circle one of the kits I won during Willow Traders Walopalooza. I absoluty LOVE the Fancy Pants paper!

Flip Flops Womanly?

2009-03-21T16:02:00.002-04:00

Yep, I was completing a challenge over at WT put on by LPS and is wanted you to complete a layout based on something that makes you feel like a woman. My flip flops are a necessity of life. I wear them whenever possible and the fact the my painted pink toes can be displayed makes me feel so girly! I very seldom take the time to fuss with makeup or my hair so the pink touch on my toes is a guilty pleasure of mine! LO made with my kit from The Scrapping Spot! It is to die for!

New fav LO

2009-03-15T23:09:00.002-04:00

I just had to add one more post so I could put up this pick of one of my new favorite layouts! I used new BG Urban Prairie and some really old pics of my daughter (she's 9 now so what does that tell you?) I love these though and had never had just the right "stuff" to use. I am thrilled with the way it turned out though! It was inspired by a LO done by Julie over on The Scrapping Spot design team!

2009-03-15T23:07:00.000-04:00

I won another kit by participating in the WALOPALOOZA challenges over at Willow Traders. This is the March kit from The Scrapping Spot and I can't wait to get it in my hot little hands!

GCD New blog

2009-03-15T23:01:00.001-04:00

Out of comfort zone

2009-03-09T21:12:00.002-04:00

I was definitely out of my comfort zone on this one. Not only did I scrap 9x9 instead of 12x12. I went monochromatic with a blue scheme and bling and flowers for a pic of my husband.

WOW!

2009-03-07T17:43:00.002-05:00

I got home yesterday to see that my prize from Scrapbook Circle had arrived. Lisa packs one awesome kit! I cannot wait to break into this scrappy goodness. Thanks again!

Week 4 LO

2009-03-04T10:02:00.001-05:00

Here's my LO for week 4 at LPS. This week was to put up a LO of someone/something that you would miss most while gone. Mine is about my oldest daughter. I miss her being little! She is growing into an amazing young lady but it is still super hard to watch her grow!

Hardest job ever...

2009-02-26T18:18:00.002-05:00

Being a mom is the hardest job I have ever had! I wouldn't trade it for anything but WOW it can really wear you down in a day. Madi, my youngest has had a fever on and off since Monday... go to the dr today to hear "Look's like you are getting over strep throat" BLECH! Poor thing is to small to tell me something is wrong and has been such a sweet loving sick child. I really feel for her. I was able to get caught up on all the laundry around here along with straightening up the house overall. I even got some scrapping done last night and finished my entry for the sketch challenge over at LPS. I will post it here as soon as the voting is done as it is a blind vote. I am REALLY pleased with the way it turned out! (to use so many "girly" papers for boy pics was a challenge for me) ... Getting ready to go play poker... have to head back to work in the morning cause Jason will be off to stay home with Madi. UGH...

My submission for the LPS January sketch contest

Even though it didn't get any votes I am still very happy with the lo of my son. *go blue are sacred words heard around my house with my husband being a die-hard Michigan fan! This does feature the Jan LPS kit and I hand cut the football and added brown flock for texture.

A Fresh Start

2009-02-25T12:09:00.002-05:00

Starting out in 2009 I was determined to get loads of scrappin done and not just collect the supplies. I love supplies... I really do. Sometimes I just want to go and sit in my room and look at them. Yeah weird I know but it makes me happy! I cannot believe what I have actually gotten accomplished so far. Being a busy working mom I used to not take the time for my passion but have realized it is so worth it! My husband and I bought a house in September (it was a nightmare process with all the changes that were going on but that is a completely different story!) so I have a whole room that I can devote to my scrappy things and peace and quiet (except for the jammin on my ipod). Will post some pics of my space soon!
