My Basket Runneth Over

Thank You!

And to say thank you - a few thank you cards just for you! I made these with the scraps from my Apron Strings January Smaller than a Breadbox Kit. I just love these penguins, don't you?

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day,

On The Scrapbook Train!

Hello everyone! I wanted to share another layout I did using the Apron Strings January Smaller than a Breadbox kit. I really liked this sketch from Let's Scrap - it allowed me to use my pictures without cropping them too much! Which makes the layout go to together just that much faster! These pictures are from an outing with my aunt (second mother) over the Christmas break. Her visit was not long enough in my opinion!

all aboard

I wanted to give you a close up the title. I placed my chipboard letters on small squares of pattern paper and connected them with twine. Reminds me of the train cars all in a row!

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!

You did what to the penguins?

Do you know how many penguins and trees can be cut out during one episode of The Bachelor? And that is Bachelor without commercials because really who watches commercials anymore? The answer is Twenty two penguins and eleven trees!
And what I am going to do with all those fussy cut penguins? Make One birthday card, twelve Valentines, and two thank you cards, that's what! And today i would love to show you the Valentines I made.
I used the scraps left from my Apron Strings' January Smaller than a Breadbox to make these fun valentines. I printed my sentiment on an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of cardstock four times. I cut out 3 1/2 X 5 rectangles and wrapped around dollar store sunglasses.

I think they will be a hit with the three year olds in my class and with Amory's friends too!

Trees, Penguins Oh My!

Guess what I have been scrapping with? The Apron Strings Smaller than a Breadbox kit! Full of Jillibean Soup, October Afternoon, and Fancy Pants. Loved the penguins, polka dots and fun happy colors in this one! I was able to make Christmas layouts, an Easter layout, birthday cards, a teacher gift, and valentine cards! Now that is some kind of versatility in a kit!

Over the next week I will be sharing what I made with the kit - hopefully one or two things a day - if all the stars line up and the Earth stays balanced - haha!

First a Christmas layout - the hunt for the perfect tree. Not one where all the needles fall off....

The Hunt

And the next - a birthday card! These penguins are the cutest! After dinner and coffee with my girlfriends on Monday I came home to watch the Bachelor (yes I am a diehard fan) and cut out penguins. You will be seeing these fun little penguins on cards - everything from this birthday card to a thank you card and Valentines too!
I used a gold Happy Birthday rub on on the tree turned pennant flag and small flag underneath. Inside reads "Hope Your Day Is Cool!" I used a sketch from the sketch*a*thon at Scrapfriendzy. The sweet two year old who received it today loved the birds on the card - so I consider this card a success!
