SCRAP WITH STACY'S TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE:

I used the middle row with Banner, Mixed Alpha Title, and Circle.

Using all the things in my scraproom without buying anything else, I found the Authentique Paper collection Explore and made this fabulous layout of very old pics that were hidden inside a flip album in the corner of my room. So glad that I did because this was a missed Happy Adventure the kids and I went on to see old airplanes doing stunts that took our breath away! 2nd page yet to come!

Tesla Layout

This is a layout I just made using the 8x10 of my husband's new (2019) Tesla he ordered using the Creek Bank Creations Outline Letters. I used Authentique Durable collection papers for this layout. Really made the layout easy to come together! Loved this and as you can see, this is my 6' crop table with my I attended Scraptique's April Retreat in Estero, FL. We had a great time!

Authentique Masculine Party Layout

Loved these papers and made this fabulous Masculine Party layout!! I used the Authentique Party papers. The Cake was fussy cut from the journal papers and then added to a doily. The man's balloons were fussy cut as well as the banner so that the large 5x7 photo could be tucked under them. The bow was from the older Teresa Collins Celebrate ribbons in which I made a double bow. Love these plaid and bold teal papers. The journal sentiment was cut from the tab of paper at the edge of each sheet that shows the UPC tag. Loved making this and happy to get it posted finally!!!

Authetique Frontier Album Gift

"Together we have it all"

   Am an avid Authentique Papers fan and loved these papers when I saw them, called Frontier. I immediately thought of my beloved Mother in Law who grew up in Crowell, Texas on a cotton farm where they grew all types of vegetables as well. Her and her TWIN sister are 93 years old and am so excited to make this for them! I thought that they would enjoy adding their childhood photo as well as pics from over the years. She was so excited when I gave it to her at Thanksgiving for her early Christmas present!!! I had packaged it for her as a surprise inside a beautiful mirrored jewelry box.
The photo on the front is when we traveled to see her in May and had taken the two out to Olive Garden. Don't you love how that rock wall behind them fit perfectly with the rustic theme? You can even see my blonde hair on the left in the pic. LOL!! Also, these ladies are so healthy that they spend time flying back and forth to each other's homes in different states. Thanksgiving and Christmas is the only times that they aren't together as to spend it with their families. Isn't that sweet???

Other supplies:
Buttons, May Arts Twine, Vintage Seam binding in two colors, White Burlap, Ranger Walnut Distress Ink, Red ink, Black paint, Prima Marketing flowers, Petaloo burlap flower stem with pearls, Fineline glue bottle, Basic Grey bookplate, Fiskars corner punch, hot glue gun, 12" trimmer and scissors.

Stampendous Bon Bon Bunny Cards

I won a lovely Stampendous House Mouse Bon Bon Bunny stamp and thought I would use it to make all of my friends and family lovely Valentines Cards in order to share this adorable little bunny with them!! I began with the first one and opps, 2 of my Copics leaked all over the work I had done. Well, that was all I could do that day. So I started again the next day and tried to correct the heavy ink spots and work on the Valentine Chocolate box. I loved the outcome, and I was now addicted to this cutie!! So 4 more came next! LOL!! I made gray/white bunnies as well as the brown ones and still haven't decided which I love the most! So fun!!
                                         

                                     

                                         

 For the cards, I used Strathmore premade card bases with an Authentique Papers card kit, that has various patterned papers and the small die cuts. Other supplies were the scallop hearts by Sizzix, die cut on my Platinum 6 machine with scraps of red and pink cardstock. Using the same cardstock, I also die cut the pink and red frames of each with Reverse Confetti Lacy scallop rectangles. Jillian Vance Stitched Dot rectangles were perfect to die cut each of the bunnies to match up with the frames. I used 110# Neenah Bright White paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad to stamp the images of each bunny image, as well. For the final stage, I embellished using JoAnn Fabrics stitched ribbons, various doilies, Paper Smooches die cut "love", the Authentique Smitten Paper die cuts included in the kit with the heart die cuts, and heart buttons from Favorite Embellishments. Also, one small black 3D Diamond sticker from Frilly and Funkie Boutique. Love all of their fun supplies!
