I’m sure some of you have wondered about the Design Teams I am on. I know, because some people have asked, “Hey, are you making stuff for these?” and wondering why I’ve been so behind in posting all the scrappy goodness that I ought to be. So here are some things I’ve done in the past few weeks.

At Scrap Village we had a feature on making due with less than perfect pictures. Everyone has a collection of pictures that came out fuzzy or grainy or where the subject ended up looking like a dork (my kids come out fuzzy; I come out dorky), so the amazing ladies over there and I whipped up a few layouts showcasing some of these less than stellar pics.

For those who are anal enough to care, the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters perfectly match the Stampin’ Up typeset alphabet stamps, which excited my inner perfectionist to no end.

This one is our Sunday morning routine with the dressing up and the hair bowsies. The alphabet stamps are Ma Vinci’s and the Today stamp is from Autumn leaves.

Another feature we did was on holiday gifts. I whipped up this altered tin with pretty pages inside. You know those tins you get from AOL in the mail that usually just get tossed out? That’s’ what this is made from! I used pretty Scenic Route papers. To get the swirly paint designs, I used a silicone basting brush as a paint brush. Very interesting effect, I thought.

And this simple Halloween page is me just trying to get last year’s pumpkin carving all scrapped. Turned out cute, although it’s a very basic layout for me.

Oh, if anyone is interesting in Holiday cards this year, I have a few slots left for custom orders. Just drop me a line.
