Hello everyone.....things are cooling down here a bit, at least enough that I could get my first batch of marinara made today! Our tomatoes just now decided to go crazy, which is fine with me :)
Hubby is out scouting deer, so it is a good night for me to get some major crafting done, I've really had the bug lately ....so here is my latest process video. This is a fall layout featuring two of my grandkids, Caprice & Cascade, using Echo Park papers from the 'Fall In Love With Fall' kit. I don't usually go with a 'single' kit for layouts, but I kid of challenged myself to do it, and I did a pretty good job, the only other things I used were Nuvo Crystal drops, some twine a black piece of Bazzill cardstock and some black washi tape. Not like me at all (to not mix and match on my own).
Hi everyone! After a short Sumer season, I am getting back into the scrapping and crafting mode. I have made two process videos in the last week, which is a miracle for me.
This first video is an Easter video (I know it's not exactly Easter season, but these photos were on top of my stack :P! I apologize for the amount of the process that was left out, my I kept looking up at my screen to see my video had just unexpectantly stopped taping....still got the majority in, with lots of stills at the end.
This next video is a camping video, which has photos of my husband from a few years ago, featuring a handmade tag with some little embellishments that I made with dies and washi tape. And some Felicity Jane stamps.
I was going to add some still of the layouts, but I'm having a hard time uploading from my photo library. Anyone else have this issue?
Anyway......life has been busy here at 'Rocky Pastures,' (our little farm)....we had a pig roast last week end with about 50 guests. Stan built a pit lined with pumice block and we roasted a whole pit. It was a lot of fun with great food and company. Can you believe I didn't take one photo?!!
The garden is flourishing, and time for freezing, canning and preserving.
Hope you are all well, and enjoy the videos! Until next time,
Hello, doing a 'kind-of' follow up video in my tag series, which I haven't done for awhile, so here we go with some examples of tags made, mainly with paper, scissors, glue, stamps and dies, I
Like to use my supplies, and make my own clusters, so added into the mix are some stickers from kits here and there and whatever I can create using my stamps & dies, papers, copic markers, stitching and whatever else I have in my stash. It' s all just showing you my process of making embellishments for scrapbook pages, cards and various other paper crafting projects. Thanks so much for stopping by. You can purchase my handmade embellishments on eBay under fritztrail29, or in my etsy shop at suzannebwebb.etsy.com. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hello, everyone, here today with another scrapbooking process video using Echo Park Lucky In Love scrapbook collection. Love the text paperI used from this pack, for some reason, text papers are kind of hard for me to find, and I do love them! For this layout I scrapbooker a photo of my husband and myself from our anniversary last December (36 years :), and a wine label I thought was too pretty to throw away, from the bottle of wine Stan got me for Valentine's Day. I love the use of the gray woodgrain paper from Simple Stories behind the label. I added a tiny bit of Felicity Jane paper from the February kit (the black Swiss dot). The only other thing I forgot to add in the video was the use of some old Doodlebug number stickers for the date, and the fact that I used some fun foam to put behind the photo for added dimension. The 'xoxo' die is from Lawn Fawn, and I can see myself using this die a lot, as our family uses this expression a lot in texts, etc.....
Here we go, please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you like (I'm working on getting better and a bit more interesting....still a little camera shy :)
Thanks so much for stopping by, will be back later with some card shares.
Hello everyone, another video featuring Felicity Jane *(I think this is mainly the February kit). Also, another snowy day here in Central Oregon, it has been snowing most of the day, just days after our roads because completely clear (still have mounds of snow that was scraped :).
Back to the video, I used mostly all Felicity Jane papers and cut-a parts with the exception of stickers from a Crate Paper sheet by Maggie Holmes Bloom collection. I must mention, I didn't realize these stickers were so thin...they were fine when placed flat on my paper, but it they were overlapped on layered paper, you could see the layers of papers underneath. Had I known, I would have removed the sticker (the deer, in particular, and put foam underneath it, just a little FYI. I used Distress Inks, Candied Apples & Fired Brick to ink the center of the 2x3 journaling card from the kit, which I stamped with the '1,2 3' stamp from Papertrey Ink Moments Inked Posted stamp set. I'm still not a fan of having to fussy cut the 'cut-apart' sheet, wish they were diecut stickers :(. I am really ready for some color changes as well, in this kit....I feel like we've had the same color palette for the last few months......sorry, don't mean to be a downer....I do love the kits, just a few observations on my part. I HAVE loved every single stamp set!!!!
AT least this time I remembered to do a voice-over....geesh, I can't believe I forgot that last time!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the video!
Hello there! Hope you are all doing well a bs under less snow than we are still experiencing! The one plus about adverse weather conditions is thatnit allows for more crafting time👍🏻
Now here is the video and some still shots of the video. This is my sweet granddaughter, Caprice and grand-nephew, Teddy. They are so darn cute together!
All the papers I used for this layout are from the January Felicity Jane kit, with the exception of the black Bazzill cardstock. The enamel dots were a combination of My Mind's Eye and Simple Stories, and the stickers used were from a Crate Paper sticker sheet called 'Hello Love.' Now, here are some still shots and up close photos of the layout.
Hello there, back after a little hiatus, taken to get ready for our youngest son's wedding which was at our house in the yard (it turned out beautiful)!
Today I have a video to share, a page made with a photo of my homemade pesto. I used wonderfully textured Carta Bella patterned paper from 'Mix It Up.' You will see, I also used some ephemera from a Becky Higgins Project Life set (which I ended up shuffling around quite a bit). Pardon my jumbling of words at the end when I was trying to say 'you can find me at suzannebwebb.blogspot.com :). I totally got tongue-tied!!
So, the challenge this week was 'flowers, Prima flowers if you had them, which I did.. So I started out with a visual for myself (first photo), just laying the photos and floral clusters down as is.... (obviously, I would have to trim the floral wire stamens off and rearrange, I didn't show this in the video because it took a LONG time...
I do love the way the layout turned out....it features my two favorite girlies....my granddaughters, Evie and Capri.....who are particularly enamored with my reader glasses....it's the first thing they reach for when they get to our house. I used an older Basic Grey solid background paper, layered with patterned prints from Crate Paper, and an embossed solid using a Provo Craft embossing folder. THe florals, are, of course, by Prima, I cut the wire stems and adhered them individually with a hot glue gun. The scalloped solid cardstock trim has been cut with a Martha Stewart edger. The sticker phrase bubbles and butterfly are from 'photo play paper.' The number 2 is a leftover from a set my husband used to add the address numbers to our house, also added, a few sprinkles of sequins, mostly Darice, some Make It Market from Papertrey Ink. The 'Quoted' block is from Papertrey Ink from their Monthly Moments' collection.
Thank you for visiting and watching the video....if you enjoyed, please give a thumbs up! If you have any questions, please ask in the comments.
Hello! The other day while searching for the perfect embellishment for a scrapbook page, rifling through my stash, I decided that I should share my love of tags, and created the many layers of tags/embellishments. As I mention in the video, I use this stash for a number of things, scrapbook page embellishments, tied onto gift sacks, or make them into a card. I often leave room for the right sentiment, so they will be totally versatile for future use. Before I go any further, I must apologize for my scruffy nails......I had been touching up the stain on the trim in our house all day (very unforgiving :). I also called the Friendship Jar stamp and die set by Papertrey Ink 'Jar Fillers,' whoops, another 'whoops,' I called my handmade spiral flowers 'spiral tags.' I get so focused on trying to finish in a timely manner....I mind my words....oh well, it's done now :)
Onto the video....I have still shots at the end, if you have any questions, please leave in the comments.
Hello, here today with a new Scrapbooking process video, 'Girl Cousins.' I used photos of my darling grandgirls for this, again :). These are pictures from the end of Easter Day, when the girls were tired, and playing on Capri's bed. I have been seeing a lot of videos lately with people using white tissue paper as a photo mat, I wanted to try it, but instead of white, I used pink and red tissue paper. I have to say, it is an interesting texture addition. After matting the photos on the tissue paper (a couple of layers), I matted them on Bazzill cardstock, then Pebbles, Inc. patterned paper, and then some chocolate cardstock. I adhered thin strips of cardstock along each side of the matted photos. On the right side, I used a cluster of Becky Higgins Project life cards (which I cut up), along with some of the same patterned paper cut in strips, some Paper Smooches word dies, and Papertrey Ink Rosie Posey Step 1 & 2 stamp and dies (stamped in dark chocolate, true black, and lovely lady with Hibiscus Burst. The grid journaling card I stamped with stamps from PTI Monthly Moments, A Few Pointers. Sprinkled the page with some American craft wood veneers, which I colored with a copic marker, RV17, along with some sequins.
Hello!!! Happy to be back writing on blog, after two weeks without water (our well went dyry:(....we finally have water, a new well and a new pump :)! It's easier to do everything with water!!!
I have a new scrapbook page layout, an Easter page, featuring the grands, Evelyn and Caprice. The pp I used is Amy Tangerine - Plus One, some Becky Higgins project life cards, PTI stamps with some Copic coloring (the jar and tulips). The little script block at the bottom of the page is a wood mounted stamp (rare for me), but I just had to have it, because I loved the words and fonts! The two little phrase stickers at the top are from a stickers sheet by Simple Stories, 'Sweet Bliss.' The letter stickers are older Making Memories stickers I've had in my stash for quite some time. Added a bit of washi tape to finish it off.
Hello, here to share a card and a couple of scrapbook pages. The first is a card I made for the MFT color challenge (which I didn't get uploaded in time due to internet issues:(. I used the MGT Green Pastures stamp and die set, colored with cipic markers, made the background by water coloring and layering diecut hills cut from Lawn Fawn dies.
This first layout is my son, daughter-in- law and granddaughter, Evelyn at the pumpkin patch. Does and stamps are from Papertrey Ink's Monthly Moments and Pumpkin Patch stamp and die set. I cut the October' die and layered it four times to give it a chipboard look. The largest 'pumpkin' is a diecut circle and freehand cut the stem,!added some stamped vines and enamel dots to finish it off.
This is a layout featuring granddaughter, Caprice..,she is being very happy with her new 'Olivia' sunglasses😃. I used Papertrey Ink's monthly moments scripted month dies and layered it in gold and black for the title. The smaller dies are die cut from Carta Bella dies, the banners, Papertrey Ink. The little fabric banner is a sticker by Heidi Swapp, finished with a colored 'C' veneer and some washi tape...
Hi there! I have been wanting to try Melissa Phillips challenge from over at Papertrey Ink to stamp some two toned flowers. Didn't know if I was going to get it done, due to the fact that I am working on a huge mini album project that I have put off for far too long....then I realized I could make an accent piece using this technique. I made a little banner chipboard tag, added some sewn pleated bookplate, and used Rosie Posie and Stitched Sentiments stamp sets, with some of the dies and pop dotted a flower, along with Pti Autumn Rose, Scarlet Jewel and Dark Chocolate inks. Here is the resulting tag, along with some little peeks at my gated album.
