Surfing Waikiki

I spent the most wonderful day scrapping with my pals. We rented a hall and scrapped and yapped for 12 hours...so fun! I only got 3 and a half LO's done...what the heck? Although...there was a lot of snacking and talking going on...and laughing...I swear that I have so many super funny people that I scrap with. Anyhoo...We went on a family trip to Hawaii this summer and I'm finally scrapbooking it...this is my first LO.   Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)

Happy 18th Birthday

I made this one for my son's 18th birthday. Boy cards are hard...I just kept it simple with a shape card from the cart Birthday Bash...and I used a pretty gender neutral paper line. I think it turned out ok. The nice thing about the Birthday bash cart is that if you cut a card at 5.5", the main image will fit on the card front if you cut it the same size. Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)

Recipe:

1. Birthday Bash cart-#'s cut @ .75", shape card  and all layers pg 25 cut @ 5.5", Cake, Cake-s, Layer1, Layer 1-s, Layer2, Layer 2-s, Scallop tag cut @ 1.5" pg 67, round tag cut @ 2" pg 70
2. CTMH-chocolate ink
3. American Crafts brown jute
4. Making Memories brown eyelet**
5. MME-beige and light teal Twine**
6. EK Success 2" circle punch**
7. My Pink Stamper Sweet Goodness stamp set
8. Echo Park This and That-Graceful line**
