Keeping it Kreative

The leaves are heat embossed.

These are a combination of scrapbook paper and paint. I was wanting to brighten up my kitchen. I really like how they turned out!

Before it had at sepia colored daisy strip and the title was "I love my mom" and there was the same daisy's behind the journaling. I really didnt like it before, so I changed it. you can't tell from the background but its a grassy green color page. So I replaced the daisy paper with the navy blue and put the lettering in yellow and brown. I also added the "A Note From Mom". I think it looks better!

I still feel like something is missing on this one... let me know if you can think of what it needs!

Yes this one is simple looking but that is exactly how I wanted it to look. I made from the Kit of the Month from AC Bailey Designs. I put the letters on scrap paper and then cut around it and used the same paper for the journaling. I also used an overlay on top of my photo.

wow it has been awhile huh? i am so sick but all of a sudden i feel the need to scrap! So I am scrapping two pages tonight no excuses!!! I am doing it!
1. Riley and Gideon as super heroes
2. Riley wearing my shoes

Today is National Scrapbooking day!!!! So no excuses from me.... I have to scrap! I have soo many started projects that I haven't finished yet.... today is the day!!!!

My next project is a book of family traditions that are from my family and corey's family. And the traditions that we want to start with our family. I can't wait to get started on it...

The letter was white and I painted it and put making memories "flower patch" flowers.
Next I need to make the Summer one!!!

I made this page bc I have a necklace that I wear. It has my late step-father's finger print on a guitar pik. It's my way of having him with me all the time. I miss him very much.

I made this from the Winter Kit of the month from AC Bailey. I made the felt letters by hand and I bought the large letter at A page in Time in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I plan on making one for each of the seasons. I'm so excited!

I made this from the AC Bailey kit. I love the kits because you get so much for such a small amount in comparison to all these other websites. If you want to check out the kit club go to ACBaileyDesigns.com and then click on kit club.

I had fun doing this page, I used my new slice! Thanks Debra! This year I am sticking to my new years resolutions!!!!

My friend kelly told me about picnik.com, and I'm hooked!!!! It is really easy to use and tons of fun! my profile picture was done using the site. And you'll definitely see my pages having some "work done" on them.

The christmas gift I made for my sister. I hope she likes it!!!!

Right now I'm working on a collage for my sister molly. I'm only able to talk about it bc I don't think she looks at my blog. Her room is in pastel blue and yellow so I'm using that as a starting point. I'm really excited about doing this project!!! Wish me luck!

Riley is ALWAYS throwing his toys into the tub and I wanted to always remember it. At first I was going to just put a picture on the outside of the tub but my friend and I kept looking at it and decided that we liked it this way best.

I made slits in the pictures and then ran the ribbons through it three times. I liked the ribbon as a border for a change. The ribbons is not as bright as the picture shows so it ties in a lot better. I also didn't want to have the photos over lap so I cut a triangle off of both corners so they would match up. The tags in the back were randomly placed before I put the pictures down that way it looked more random then planned.

I have seen this idea for retirees but I wanted it to fit in with play time. Next time I'm making one for scrapbooking. Maybe even a "There's NO time for whining!" haha

I made the flower out of another page that I liked. and used a sticker in the middle of it and ribbon for a stem .

I wanted to have the picture of Gideon in his "club house" framed so I drew bricks. What do you think?

I saw this idea in a book. And I thought it was cool how the pictures looked behind the ripped frame.

It was so sweet how Riley just wanted to be held when he was sick, so I wanted to keep this page simple to focus more on him.

I love this picture of my son because he just sat there and stared at himself for the longest time. I wonder what he was thinking.
I used tin foil in the center of the circles to give them a mirror look.

I used an overlay on this page but put embellishments on top and underneath it to have it look more layered. I also put tear-drop bubbles over each letter of "handsome" because to me the letters did not stand out enough. The pictures to the right are made to look like he is looking at the words "happy and handsome". Let me know what you think.

My son started walking on his own when his friend was over. It was kind of like "if he can do it, so can I" type of deal. And since then he has not stopped moving!
I used paint behind his pictures to break it up a bit. And the words between the pictures are from a label maker. The other words I traced onto a different sheet of paper, I then outlined them to have each letter stand out more.

Riley has this new obsession with throwing his toys and whatever else he can get his hands on in the tub, it's like his own little toy chest. So over the next week I'm going to be taking pictures of whatever he decides to throw into the tub to make a page out of it. So far he has gotten fairly creative on what he wants to hide in there. THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING!

Riley climbed up his Hippo walker to get Corey's food after he had just ate his own dinner (and it was all over, thus the reason for no shirt). I photo edited the pictures so that Riley was the only one in color, I liked it better that way.

I needed to create a page about me, so this is what I came up with. Words that describe me and a warm design. I glued beads along the edge of my picture and used a few different rub-ons to make the design on the right stand out. I hope it shows my style.

I really like the idea of this page. I saw it in a magazine and wanted to try it out myself. I even used a posted note for the yellow heart.

I wanted to show how much my little man is really growing up. I put Riley's picture of him being a week old in black and white and the one of him recently in color for effect. I traced chipboard letter on paper that I liked better and cut out the words "baby" and "boy".

Riley had so much fun plying in this cardboard box. I used brown paper and made it look like a box and put his picture in the center. The pictures say it all!

The day that My husband and I were married was an interesting day. We were in Security Forces training for the Air Force. Earlier in the day we were covered head to toe in camo, along with warrior paint all over any skin that showed (including my red hair). Corey was carrying the M-249 (which is a machine gun) and I was carrying the M-203 (the grenade launcher). We both took all of a 10 minute shower to get it all off and headed to the courthouse with only 5 minutes before the closed. The next day we said our wedding vows to each other, wearing a wedding dress and he was wearing a suit. We said our vows in the middle of the river (on rocks). The same river that he purposed to me at.

I used orange paint and made orange circles all over the page. I also took masking tape and stuck it to the photo repeatedly to to give it the effect shown. The smaller picture is a photo transfer using tape once again.

I couldn't decide on just one word to describe him... and there were so many more that I wanted to add.

I started out by taking sand paper to the photo to create a border. Then I sanded the chipboard letter to have it all match. The text was created using Microsoft Word, I just used different fonts for the words; you, me, us and we. Then I ripped the paper to give a messy -warn look. What do you think?

I wanted to keep this page fairly simple because the page itself was too beautiful to cover up with too many embellishments. I used black rub-ons with rhinestones as an embellishment. The "H" is chipboard letter with sliver glitter. The words are foam sticker letters, except for the word "ever".

The girls and I went out for Stephanie's birthday and before Kaydee and Stephanie went back to the states for a while . We had a lot of fun being goofy and taking pictures. The photo strip on the right side was created to look like a photo booth photo strip. When we were taking the picture, each time that it was taken somebody didn't like it so we had to try again. We had a lot of fun that night. I made the first letter of each word with chipboard and silver glitter glue. The rest of the word is made out of blue vinyl letters. I also added a rub-on design, paper flowers and tags for embellishments.

The kids during our girls day were having so much fun in the balls that I couldn't help but scrap it! This one I wanted to keep it simple to focus more on the pictures of the kids in the balls and how happy they were.

Pretty in Pink was made for ACBaileyDesigns supply parties. I just signed up to be a Scrapbook consultant and with supplies from the company I made this page. The pink page already had the flowers made of holes. But to give the page something more, I made the other half of the paper into a flower to match the other flowers. The photo of my friends daughter was in color originally but I edited it so that the photo was black and white except for her pink sunglasses. Then I added paper flowers as an embellishment. The words "pretty in" I traced chipboard letters and then cut them out. The word "pretty" is chipboard that I used pink glitter glue on top of the letters.

I made this scrapbook out of brown paper lunch bags glued together.
