Latest projects

The last week of June I went on a trip with my son as a sponsor.  He is in an academic club called Beta, and he went to New Orleans with them to the National Convention.  Because he was the only boy and I am a teacher with the school, the Beta sponsor asked me to go too.  We had a lot of fun.  Neither of us had ever been to New Orleans before.  The club did great too.  They competed in several competitions and made it to the top 10 in three of them.  That's big time for our very small school.

Anyway, since I was gone for a full week, and it took me several days to catch up, I was happy that my dh and kids went to the lake this last weekend, and I stayed home and scrapped!  Not all of these projects were from this weekend, but most of them were.

This first layout used all CTMH products - stamps, ink, paper, and embellishments.  The paper is from Surf's Up which was from several catalogs ago. 

Here are my sweet kids in their school pictures from 2010.  You will see these pictures again for their individual scrapbooks, but this one is for my scrapbook.  I used a kit from Paper Wishes but had to modify it a little for these particular pictures.

All three of these cards were made using embossing folders and ideas from Paper Wishes (or HOTP).  Except for vellum on the first card and the black velvet paper on the third card, I used scraps and stash.

Here are the kiddos' class pictures again for their individual scrapbooks.  My ds's page contains CTMH Scholastic papers and embellishments.  I also used Thickers for the "4th Grade" title.  My dd's page was made using papers and embellishments from a very old kit, and now I can't remember which one. 

Here's another layout using a very old kit that I know longer remember the name!  The paper, die cuts, letters, and embellishments were all included in the kit.

Another old kit.  This kit was a layout kit that I had already put together and just needed to add the pictures.

And finally two thank you cards.  These were also made using embossing folders and ideas from HOTP/Paper Wishes.  The top one I used scrap paper and ribbon along with their red firework paper and dazzle stickers.  The bottom one I did something new for me.  I used Inka Gold to color the butterflies.  The Inka Gold and the purple circle paper were purchased from Paper Wishes too.

Sorry for such a long post.  Hopefully I can get some more projects finished this week.
