My Daughter's Crafty Work

My 7 year old daughter created this card for her new cousin!

 The inside that she wrote out for him! 

We had a day crafting. Here is a few pages she worked on using extra photos I had and her own creativity! Front of her album.

 Inside her 8 1/2 x 11 Album

A few more pages she did using 12 x 12 papers.

 

She had fun using all these supplies that were given to her from a scrappy friend of mine. When she gave two overflowing boxes to my daughter...She said, "It was so she can have her own stash!"

Thanks Vicki! 

I have a partner in crime!

If I happen to get scrapping she is not far behind me! 

XOXO DT July - Kinderstart Health Check

This month it took me awhile to get the XOXO DT page done. I just couldn't find the right photos to work with. I wanted to finish up some pages I have been currently working with, BUT it just didn't want to work with me. So, while doing a craft room clean up....something that gets pushed off to often!
I find this drawings my daughter made during her Pre-School Health Check. I wanted to save her artwork for her in her scrapbook so she can see her progression as my little aspiring artist in residence!

The Health Check Nurse gave her the cute little girl sticker. Something, I wanted to include but being red I used the light pink background paper to tone down the red. For the rest of the page I played off the colors in her drawing.

While I asked the Nurse's questions my daughter kept drawing away. So, since that other drawing was not as colorful I placed that underneath. I also wanted to be able to see my daughter's name which she had written on the back of her drawing. Using that cute little sticker I made a flap to hold down the drawing but still allowing you to see the other drawing.

Here is Phillis's page we used this month for inspiration. There are a few days to still play along before August's page will be revealed! Click on over: XOXO Scrapbooking

XOXO DT Challenge #42 - Leftover Valentine

Over on True XOXO Scrapbooking it showing some mushy gushy stuff. My card and layout is up.

My Card for My Sugar....
Since he loves his gummy candies, chocolates, Chocolate bars and coffee cup with a minimum of 3 sugars.
I made my husband this card with a Alphabet stamp set that I have been wanting to use.

Here is a 2 pager. I used a oversized card Becky had made Dad a few Valentine's ago.

Was able to save her hand's traced in crayon.

Pulled out the old Sizzix machine:
used the heart die and tied embroidery floss to the hearts.

and Dot Numbers, which where cut out of Becky's old snow tube that got a hole.  

Even got to use some Alpha Stickers I have had in my stash for some time now!

Head over a check out what the rest of the DT came up with: https://truexoxoscrapbooking.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/challenge-42-leftover-valentine/

Pulling Daddy's Heart Strings

I was excited for this challenge...This is actually the last challenge given at If It's Groovy!!!! Deb, Thanks to all your hard work and having me be apart of it!
I had tucked away an over-sized handmade card my daughter, Becky made for Valentine's that she gave to her Dad. It got a bit wrinkled and abused, but it was packed up for 3 years. Finally, I got the inspiration after reading the challenge titled "Heartstrings" and I knew I had to do a 2 page layout so... 
It just fit so perfect, Becky has him by the heartstrings! Like he says often, "There is no female that any man can love like his daughter. No matter what she does in her life he will love her unconditionally!" 

I wanted Becky's artwork to show, so simple and clean it is! Cutting a bit off center so her hand traced prints were still together but split. 

I pulled out my old Sizzix machine and the Sidekick. I cut a Sizzlet border, Heart Lace. After I cut out the 2 Heart Lace borders I added "strings to each of the connecting hearts.
  

 Using an old popped snowtube I cut out the title with Dot Numbers on the Sizzix. 

Added the title, "Pulling Daddy's Heart Strings." Since Daddy was already on the card, I added the "'s" and the card was already Heart-shaped the title came together.
