Fourth Grade & Dance

Hi!

It's Friday! So what are your plans for the weekend? I was thinking about taking a run to the flea market tomorrow morning, but with a hurricane heading our way, I doubt anyone will be setting up shop!

Well, today I've got a couple paper craft projects to share with you. This first is a scrapbook page of my little guy from last year. He was sitting down to his first day of school homework when I snapped a couple photos. He either ducks and hides from the camera or he makes funny faces!

This  is one of my hybrid projects using a brand new Two Peas in a Bucket digital kit called 'School Day' by Polka Dot Pixels. Look at the goodies packed in this kit! I LOVE the patterned papers!

And I think these stencil alphas that I used for my title are awesome! After I printed them, I cut the letter part out with an Xacto knife and then stitched around the edges.

There are so many fun accents...the report card, A+ circle and twill ribbon!

I added a plastic pencil and sheet of binder paper, a couple die cuts and stitching. That's it! Super fun page to create!

My second project is a hybrid card.

This card was made with digital stickers called 'Bunny Ballerina' by Holly Brooke Jones.

 Holly's the queen of cute! Love this rabbit, she's tutu cute! ;)

 The phrase 'dance' is included in the kit and I used it as a pattern for stitching. The papers were from my stash, one is from Basic Grey's Kioshi line and the striped paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Odds and Ends collection.

So, keeping dry will be a challenge this weekend with hurricane Irene coming! I need to run to the grocery store so hopefully there will be a dry window of opportunity at some point in the day! Wow, we had a rare earthquake Tuesday, and a hurricane coming tomorrow...all in one week! Mother Nature certainly is busy!

Crafty Weekend

As I mentioned last week there were a lot of cool new digital kits released at Two Peas in a Bucket so I had a lot of fun this weekend playing with them! For you that means some crafty projects to enjoy!

Do you know anyone with a birthday this month? Next month? If you're in need of a birthday card idea, here's one I created.

I adore this Mod Moths digital kit by Holly Brooke Jones! These colors are so spring like and cheerful, perfect for a birthday card! I can imagine some pretty great springtime scrapbook pages using these papers too!

Or maybe you need to make a thank you card for your child's teacher? Pretty soon we'll be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week at my son's school so I made this hybrid card for the occasion.

Jen Martakis of Two Peas created an awesome new digital kit called Notebook Basics that includes a variety of lined and graph papers. I use these types of papers for so many projects!

Not only did I make a few cards this weekend, but I also created a scrapbook page. I'm keeping my New Year's goal in mind; to not forget the family memory album!

This hybrid page was created with a fun and hip new digital kit called txt me by Stacy Marks of Two Peas in a Bucket. I really enjoyed playing with this kit! The papers and accents are too fun. I printed everything out on Kraft paper and love the look. I usually scrap 12x12 pages, but I have an album just for me called 'pieces of me' that this page will go in.

I hope you're enjoying my crafty shares because I have one more to show you. Did you forget that it's a 2 Sketches 4 You Monday? I love designing for 2S4Y! It's always so fun to create cards from the sketches Kazan and Laura come out with each week. And then I get to browse your creations all week! So, here's a another fabulous Sketch. This week's awesome design is from Laura.

And here's what I did with Laura's sketch.

Isn't the stamped image darling? It's from Infinimentscrap. It had heart shaped leaves on the tree and I replaced them with mini heart shape punches from my Fiskars hand punch.

Whew, four crafty shares is a long post! Thanks for joining me today and taking a look at all my projects! I'll have some more for you on Wednesday.
