Great America Fun...the whole kit and Caboodle

Here are a few more pages from the Caboodle papers using the Workshop on the Go kit. Love it...these pages are cool as you would not think of this kit for the Great America amusment park but they totally work.  Fun fun fun...

First I will show you a few close ups of the page just because I love all the little details. It turns an average page into a page that you might say WOW that looks fun and WOW I could do that and WOW I love it!

I love this new Cocktail Alphabet set it is so playful and I did not have anything else like it so I knew it was a must have for me.

Here I took a deminsional element and added some journaling and some ribbon. I also stamped the cute little circle in Crystal Blue and popped it up with a pop dot.

Also notice that tower in the back ground...do you see the little dot next to it? That is my daughter and her friend! Yikes!!

Here they are getting ready to go up into the bungie swing. Notice the cute arrow and the little tab. I love these tabs they are even cuter in real life.

Ok finally here is the whole page isnt' it so adorable? I love the way it turned out. It helps that my subjects are so darn cute.

And here is the second page of them getting off the crazy ride still smiling. I think they would have done it again if they had another $20

Did you notice...

• stamping around the photo mat
• stamping around the journal mat
• the ink all around the page to tie it all together
• the visual triangles of color and product and even photo's between both pages

I really had fun doing this WOTG Kit and who would have thought that Great America pages would have worked so well with it. Some of the other people in the class did photo's at the river, some friend photo's and some self portriats. Everyone had very cute pages and they all looked a little diferent.

Remember the Workshop on the Go kits are only available durring the current catalog so if you want any of the current kits Caboodle, Veranda, Top Stitch, or You Rock get yours before the end of the month. They come with embelishments, an exclusive stamp, set and step by step instructions.

A belated Happy Easter

I was working on Easter pages recently and had so much fun looking at how the girls have grown. You can especially see it in Maizie. Here she is this year.

Here she is her first Easter.

I used the Caboodle Workshop on the Go for these pages as I thought they would work perfect. I changed it up a little bit to suit my needs and added some photo's as I like a lot of photo's. These pages are extra special as my husbands grandmother passed away this past year and so I made sure to print an extra photo for my MIL of her mom and Maizie...oh how she loved babies.

Flower Power!~

At the beginning of the year I decided to make my own "kit of the month club" This month the kit that I am working with is Caboodle. The kit features some fantasitic spring colors Buttercup, Crystal Blue, Sorbet, and Sweet Leaf. The paterned paper is so fun, playful, and modern...perfect for guys or girls. I made this sweet little card that reminds me of looking out of a kitchen window over a garden.

The card it self was a pretty simple design I did some layering, coloring and masking. I masked the flowers so that they can go over the shutters. To do masking I always stamp on a post it note and then cut out the image I want to mask. The reason I use a post-it is two fold. One it is very thin and you don't get a partial missing image from the cardstock. Two it has sticky stuff on the back which makes it stay in place while you stamp around it.

Some actual artwork!

So here is a little card I made this morning before work. I really love how it turned out and feel like maybe I should be creative before 8 am more often!

A few weeks ago I told you my friend Patti won some stamps (ok a lot of stamps) from PTI and that is where this cute little butterfly stamp came from. As you can see it goes perfect with the In the Month of April CTMH stamp.

I used the paper from Caboodle and the ink I used is Sweet Leaf, Crystal Blue and Sorbet. I added little brads and some glitter and wala super cute fast fun card.

I hope you likey...
