May Shoebox Cards

May is always such a busy busy month!!  It's been nice to see the sun today!  It's a gorgeous day today!

Here are the creations from May!  

Cactus just fascinate me!  This was a fun card to create!  The words say Stuck on You!  the green cactus in the pot is stamped and then cut out with a die. The little flower is hand cut and the green stitched piece is a fun die set called decorative borders!  Check it out... it's lots of fun!!

Beth's sweet card is a lovely window scene complete with curtains and flowers in the window box.  Beth's cards are always so thoughtful.  The brick background also makes it feel oh so homey!

Julie's card is a graduation card!! The hat and the numbers make this a classy card!  The colors are striking!  This is called the impossible card... It makes a great graduation card!

Melani treated us to two cards.  The images were stamped, and we used chalk and makeup to add color to the images.  There was a variety of backgrounds and ribbons to use as we pleased.  The stamped images were animals with a play on their words.  It was fun to color and create!

Shannon also treated us to two cards.  Both were thank you cards, one for teachers and one for nurses.  There were cuts stickers and bling to make the cards pop.  The stethoscope was precut and preglued for us making these quick and cute thank yous!

We missed some of regulars, Roxxy who was off caring for her father and Anita knee has been bothering her for sometime.  And Kathy who has been irregular for the last little while.  Hopefully they will be back in June!!  Good onya's everyone!!

April Hostess Club I Heart Us

Here are the layouts from April Hostess Club:)

The kit used is I Heart us and it was a rainbow of colors!  Here's the Hostess Club layout.  Also we did an insert as well.  it was fun to do this bright and colorful layout using primary colors.  This layout is inspired by a layout from Scrapbook Generation.  They have such fun layouts!

Images were used from Artisite, Artbooking, cricut classic fonts.  Also, an additional photo flap was used and decorated using the same colors and themes.  These pocket pages are a great way to add addition photos to a layout!

Here's just the layout!

and here is the layout with the pocket page.

and here are just the pocket pages.  They are quite fun!  Also there are a lot of size options.  These pocket pages are for 3x4 photos and cards.

The first layout for those who are working with the kit is below.  The Heart paper is from the kit (though white cardstock would also work well) and uses the Make it from your Heart volume 1 design Eight.  It's nice and bright and springy!

The second layout is another bright and Happy layout.  The inspiration for this layout is from Scrap Generation.  It was fun to do this layout and you might have heard me giggling as this layout was being put together.  It just made me Happy!!

 And the third layout, while dramatically different, is from the same kit.  And while this layout features the word Love and hearts, this could easily be a patriotic layout.  I love how versatile these paper packets can be!!

Be sure to Join us for the next Scrapbooking class.  Hostess club is generally the second Tuesday of the month and the doors open at 5:00 PM.  We will be doing So much Happy for the May class.  Also, please know that kits may be purchased after the class (depending on availability) and done at a later time!
