About me

Hi! My name is Shelly, welcome to my lil scrap spot blog!
As you can tell it is really about scrapbooking for me. I love scrapbooking! I am so very very passionate about creating a lasting legacy for generations to come to view. Its hit me extra hard in the last year as I became a grandmother twice over. I have a beautiful grandson named Braedan and gorgeous granddaughter named Kyleigh. While I was raising my children, I never thought there could ever be a better feeling then being a mom, and then the most wonderful thing happened. My daughter gave me a grandson. I have never in my life felt anything like this. It is the most wonderful feeling on earth. Then later that same year, my oldest son gave me a granddaughter. Oh how could my heart hold anymore love!!
I have had an amazing time.
I love my family and friends passionatly. I wouldnt trade anything for them, yes we have some bad times, but its all worth it.
I hope you like the posts I create here and will come back and share things with me also.

It's a beautiful Monday!

Happy Monday!!!
Here in Indiana the sun is shining brightly and the weather is gorgeous!
I haven't been ignoring my blog I promise, just been super busy getting tons of layouts done for my camping trip this week as well as a very cute card!

All of the projects today feature CTMH's Back Country Paper Packs and Stickease Assortments. I will be featuring these products and more at my open house on June 20.
So here is the fun stuff!


This is the cute lil card I mentioned before! Very very easy and quick to make!
You will need the following items to make this card:
Back Country Level 2 Paper Pack
Back Woods Stamp Set
Olive and Barn Red Ink Pads
2 copper brads

To make this project, start with a card base in the Barn Red cardstock cut to 5" x 3 1/2". Fold in half. When you assemble the card, make sure your fold is on the left side.
Pc A- Striped B&T Duos paper cut to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2".
Pc B- Outdoor Denim Blue cardstock cut to 2" x 1 1/2"
Stamp your tree with Olive Ink on a piece of Colonial White Cardstock. I used a second generation stamping. Over this tree, stamp the dotted overlay of tree in Olive ink, use a first generation stamp image for this. Then stamp the trunk of the tree in Barn Red. Cut out this image to adhere to card upon assembly.
To assemble card:
Attach pc A to left side of card, keeping edges flush.
Attach pc B to center of card, keeping 1/2" from the top.
Attach your stamped tree image with pop dots and place in center of pc B.
Attach your copper brads to the right of pc B.
Stamp the sentiment Grow Together in bottom right hand corner in Barn Red Ink.
Your card is ready for giving!

I will post the other layouts I have finished a bit later.

Until then,
Have a Blessed Day
&
Happy Scrappin!

Family visit/vacation

Just got back from a small family vacation/family visit. I went to Mississippi with my father, sister, nephew and grandson to see family I havn't seen in almost 4 years. Some I havn't seen in over 20 years. It's very hard when life happens to see everyone in your extended family....especially one whole branch of your family tree lives in another state.
I had a wonderful time reconnecting with "lost" family members. And thanks to the internet, we don't have to stay disconnected anymore!
I hope everyone has enjoyed this last week and lots of great things have come your way!
I will be posting a small card later today, so come back for that!

Oh!!! BIG NEWS!!! Please check out my CTMH website....every day in June there is a different sale item with special shipping charges applied. I will post a link to it also, but you really dont want to miss out on the everyday goodies! It's like Christmas all over again!! Only this time, you get what you really want! ;)

Until later,
Have a Blessed Day
&
Happy Scrappin
