twenty-three.

I've been trying to do more personal scrapbooking, even sometimes making pages without pictures. (Crazy! I know!) So, here:

Paper is Basic Grey Porcelain Windermere, the bird stamp, flower, & lace are all from Scarlet Lime kits, the journaling stamp is Making Memories, and the butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I don't know what paper they're punched from, though - it was a small scrap I found in my mom's stash.

Here's another birthday card I made for another friend:
I can't remember who made the black & white paper, but it was from a Scarlet Lime kit awhile back. The green butterflies are DCWV cardstock and made with a Martha Stewart punch. The title is cut with my Slice and handwritten by me.

Here's a card I made for my friend's birthday (please excuse the crappy picture!):

It's all from K & Company's Amy Butler line, except for the ribbon, which was some I had in my stash.

I got a Slice!

Or, rather, *we* got a Slice, as my mom and I are sharing it. (But I paid for it, as her Mother's Day present.)

We've already gotten a few design cards for it, too (it comes with Basic 1): Basic 3, Noteworthy, and Wedding. I want to get the Spring one, too. My mom wants to get the embossing tips.

I love it! :)

I am really proud of this page, I worked hard on it and it took a loooooong while to come together. (Seriously, I've been working on it since July.) It was originally inspired by the colors of the March 2008 Scarlet Lime kit.
Cardstock: Bazzill Ocean, papers: American Crafts A La Carte Pesto (I think,) and Chatterbox Eclectique Scroll, journaling: the back of a Making Memories 5th Avenue spiral journaling book, (the front was not quite the right color,) chipboard: Scrapworks Magpie and Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste, chipboard letters: Scenic Route Redmond.

Oh, and I used my new Xyron (the 2.5" one) to stick the letters to the page. I think I love that machine already.

I got a *lot* of pages done at the crop I went to! (Okay, and by "a lot" I mean "seven," but that actually is a lot for me. I work slowly.) Here are a few:
Paper & journaling: Cosmo Cricket, (Jack's World for the paper, I think,) scallop trim: Sassafras Lass, tab: Making Memories, letters: Basic Grey.



Paper: Glitz Gigi Zebra and Basic Grey Urban Prairie, letters: American Crafts Tiara.



Cardstock: Bazzill Dusk, trim: unknown but came in a Scarlet Lime kit, everything else: Basic Grey Ambrosia. I'm really proud of this page especially, it turned out lovely.

seventeen.

I've been seriously thinking lately about getting a Slice. Any thoughts? I like the size and the price especially.


Also, next month I'm going to my very first crop! It's an all day one, 9am-9pm. I'm very excited.
