Here is the final project for my church’s women’s group fundraiser. I used the Big Shot ‘Join in the Cheer’ Sizzlits on basic black cardstock and cut the words apart. I adhered them to very vanilla and chocolate chip cardstock. I used the Baroque Border wheel in close to cocoa ink on very vanilla cardstock.

I lightly sponged the edges of the very vanilla cardstock with chocolate chip ink. This is so elegant looking! People will be able to make this frame for $15, or I’ll make it for them for $20.
There is also a stamp-a-stack where they will make 10 cards for $25 or I will make them for $30. Here are the card samples:

This card uses the ‘Eastern Blooms’ stamp set.

This card uses the ‘Puns from the Past’ stamp set.

This card uses the ‘Pocket Silhouettes’ stamp set.

This card uses the ‘For Father’ stamp set.

This card uses the ‘Wanted’ stamp set.
This fundraiser is for a woman who grew up in our church and became a missionary. It is Tuesday, April 21, from 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., at the Coon Rapids Methodist Church. If you are interested in attending, please contact me.

While I was putting my Christmas photo’s onto the scrapbook pages, I found some pictures from last Fall. It’s hard to go from Christmas back to Fall, so these are quick pages. I did the title on the computer.

I used the Big Shot Leaves #2 die cut on some extra photo’s with leaves.

I found these two photo’s of the apple trees and Dan picking the last crop of the season. I had some scraps of designer series paper and chocolate chip cardstock, so I decided to use them.

I wanted to keep this page simple, so I decided to punch some holes and tie some hemp twine.

Today I took a little bit of time to get a Springtime look around the house. I have this heart-shaped door hanger that I change for the different seasons. I took off the red flowers and added yellow. Then I decided to make some antique looking tags with some Springtime phrases.




I love my unique door decoration!

My Scrapbook Club met this week and made four 12×12 pages. I will show you the four pages without photo’s and with my Christmas photos. I tend to take a lot of photo’s and then worry how I’ll get them on my pages. Page 1: 11 photo’s on it!


Page 2: 7 photo’s on this page.


Page 3: 12 photographs on this page!!


Page 4: 5 photo’s on this page.
I’m pleased that I got 35 photo’s on these four pages. I love using the large oval punch and the 1 3/4" circle punch to get head shots of people. It is quick and easy to do too. I like to blend the small head shot photo’s with my larger photo’s. Now I just have to do my journaling and then into the cabin scrapbook album they go!
