Just Another Manic Monday.....

I have the Bangles song in my head today. Another Monday, another new work week. For all you fellow teachers out there, you're either back to school (glad its not me) or getting ready to go back (like I've been).

This past weekend I took a much needed break from curriculum training to relax and SCRAP! I met up with 9 other women at the Hamburg Hideaway. It's a GREAT scrapbook retreat house equipped with everything you need to get SCRAPHAPPY!

I had a blast, met some great people, and got A LOT of layouts done! Here are some of the layouts I created this weekend....



Got to use the fun chipboard shapes from Pebbles, the new Jenni Bowlin ledger tags, and I used an EK Success border punch for the bottom...



I made a double page layout using my stash of Fancy Pants' About A Boy line and I made these fun pinwheels that Beth showed me how to do...




and THIS page took me FOREVER! I liked the patchwork look I saw on a pagemap but needed to make it a pocket so I could "smuggle" some more pictures on the layout...LOVE the Bazzill stitchez templates for hand-stitching on a page!

'til next time,
Tiffany

Swimming in Thickers!

...and I'm loving it!!! Just got my shipment of the new Thickers from CHA-S and I'm so excited! They are absolutely gorgeous and the pictures don't do them justice. But here's a few anyway:

These are the new Rocketeer font. We've got them in Powder and Black and they are so perfect for school or boy pages:



This is the new Nutmeg Glossy Thickers. This is a really gorgeous font. Also, a little smaller than regular Thickers. We've got them in the Spinach color you see here as well as white and black!

Love these! They are the Hocus Pocus Glitter Thickers. Here we have the shapes:


And the letters. We also have the letters in white. Shown here is rust:



Letterman Flocked:




This one is my absolute fave! They are smaller so perfect for cards or subtitles. We've got them in leaf, watermelon, white and black:





Daydream Foam Thickers are here in black chestnut caribbean and pumpkin:

This is the Caribbean color:





And, we can't forget foil Thickers for Christmas!!! This is pomegranate shown here but we also have a beautiful silver color:


I am so excited for all these letters! Who would have thought thick sticker letters would make me so happy??? If you would like to see more colors or order some of these beauties, head over to www.itsscraptacular.com.
***Spoiler Alert***
Those of you that get our kits each month, look for Rocketeer in September's and Hocus Pocus in October's!!!

Jazzing Up Your Chipboard!

Here are a few ways to jazz up your chipboard:

I've had this chipboard flower forever! I decided to cover it with paper, ink it, and then use a button for the center.



For this frame, I covered it with paper, and then inked and stamped on it. For the little person, I inked him made him an outfit out of different paper.

Summer is Almost Over...

Yikes! We've only got about two more weeks here until school starts. I know because the principal called last night...no we aren't in trouble! We have an automated system in our school district that calls all the families to let them know of upcoming events. The principal called last night to remind us there are only a few more summer days left.

So in honor of the end of no deadlines, no schedules and family vacations, here's a few layouts I did using Scraptacular's awesome kit of the month for August.

Bumper cars at Rehoboth beach:




Playing in the sand:


Merry Go Round:



Frisbee on the beach:



Sand castles:



We would love to see your layouts about summer so we are offering a little giveaway! Please leave us a comment linking up to your summer layouts. We will choose a winner on Saturday, August 15th.


Happy Summer!!!

Bo Bunny bonanza

Happy Monday, everyone! I survived all the rain this weekend (and a loss of power) and I'm ready for the SUNSHINE (it just might be a pool day)!

At the end of last week I discovered that Bo Bunny had posted their new design team. I REALLY wanted to get a submission in for this great opportunity...but I got the submission deadline mixed up and missed it. OH WELL! There's always next year. The bright side is that I got a lot of layouts completed using their fun products. So...in honor of Bo Bunny...here's some fun layouts I've created recently:



This is my newest layout using their older "U Bug Me!" collection


This layout I created using a Page Map and their fun Popsicle line (with some hand-stitching for the circles)



Using their papers I tried to make it look like the pictures were hanging from the top of the page (and I added some hidden journaling so I didn't overcrowd the page)



more Popsicle yumminess....



...and a layout using Bo Bunny's Calypso papers

And, finally, for a mini-album idea using Bo Bunny's Calypso and Fancy Pants' Multi-media Bracket album,


(sneak peek) check out It's Scraptacular's Project thread in the Forum!

'til next time,
