Stacy's Paper Crafts

My layout is featured on page 61 of the 2009-2010 Angel Company catalog! I am so excited that it was chosen because I wasn't going to send it in. The designers of previous catalogs have been AMAZING and my style is very clean & simple so I just wasn't sure if it would be too simple. Apparently it wasn't 

Today is the first day we can begin placing orders from the new catty. If you need a catty let me know I'd be happy to send you one. They are $5.00 which includes shipping and a $5.00 off coupon when you place an order totalling $30 or more. 

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

We've been celebrating all week over at the Paper Wings website. If you're a TAC demonstrator and you haven't been by to check out the awesome projects & download-able tutorials you're missing out! 

I created a few pages for the occasion (and hope to complete a few more this weekend). 

This one features patterned paper from TAC's Reece & Willoughby paper collections.

This one features patterned paper from TAC's Catelynne paper collection. I love this collection... could you tell?? LOL This is my sister's kitty Ash. He's such a sweet kitty :) I also created a card to go along with this layout as a part of a card-to-crop challenge. 

Have a wonderful NSD & weekend! Thanks for looking :)

April Angel Art: Scrapbook Layouts

This month's challenge was to create a scrapbook layout using on of The Angel Company's current Hostess or Gift with Purchase stamps. The sentiment I used is from "Just for You," a level A Hostess set. I pulled out my scor-pal to add some texture to the kraft cardstock and then inked the edges of the sentiment strip. 

Supplies:

Paper: Catelynne patterned paper collection, and scarlet, kraft, & white cardstock

Stamps: TAC: Level A hostess set "Just for you"

Ink: Palette L'Amore Red, Versamagic Wheat

Other: Scor-pal, Bitty Blossom, button, white scrappers floss, doodle bug decorative strip

Thanks for looking! Don't forget to check out the other Angel creations...

It's been awhile since I've scrapped a layout

I haven't really taken very many photos this year. I guess that could be a good thing since I still have lot's of photos to scrap from 2006 & 2007. I love my camera it's Canon Powershot S3 but it's heavy! I need to make it a point to just grab it anyway and capture more everyday stuff.

Anyway these photos were from last October or November of Tim playing in the leaves at his grandparents home. He loves being there with them. He used to spend a lot of time down there, they live about 2hrs away from us. But school and the activities that come along with it makes it challenging to get down there. But we're gonna do better :) He's very lucky to have some Grandparents living so close. Anyway thanks for looking!

Supplies:

Paper: Bazzill& Ultrasmooth Ivory Cardstock & The Angel Company's Willoughby patterned paper collection

Stamps: The Angel Company's  Distressed Typewriter Bet & Mini-bet alphabet stamps

Embellies: Provo Craft deco scissors, a staple & black journaling pen

Ink: Palette Burnt Umber & Palette Noir

Made In Minutes Monday: Hanging out with Grandpa

I was asked by a client to help her create a quick gift album with scrapbook pages that can be easily duplicated. This is one I came up with which is super quick and easy and keeps the focus on the photo and/or story.

Even though this is an 8x8 layout it can easily be adapted for smaller or larger layouts. You can also adjust the measurements to create a card using the same layout.

This layout features products from one of the newest paper collection & accessory sets introduced in The Angel Company's Fall & Winter catalog. Also featured is a photo of Timothy and his grandfather. For some reason I have very few photos of the both of them. I need to take more!

Thanks for looking!

Happy National Scrapbook Day

Just wanted to share a layout with you all. This one measures 8x8...

The patterned paper is by The Angel Company from a collection called "Hip-Hop." It's a great collection for those boy and summer themed pages & cards. I also used circle stamps from TAC from a set called Circle Sampler.

Have a SCRAPPY day!!!  :)

I don't like having my picture taken

This really isn't a suprise to most people who know me. I'm usually the one behind the camera snapping away. But I've gotta be better about that. One day Timothy will ask why he doesn't have pictures of his mother... LOL. These were taken of us by my DH last fall one day after school. Normally his pictures turn out blurry but I think he did a great job!

Supplies:

Crate Paper "Zoom Collection," Bazzill cardstock & bitty blossom, Making Memories date stamp, & a button.

Yay it's Friday!

Well technically it's Saturday here seeing as it is almost one O'clock in the AM. I've been up scrapping :) It feels good to actually slap some photos on a page. It's been awhile. Sometimes making cards is easier! LOL

I really wanted to use a color photo with this pp but didn't have any that coordinated well with it so I used this B&W photo of Timothy and I. He kinda looks like me in this photo, but trust me he is his father's "mini-me." You can click on the photo for a larger image.

Supplies Used:

TAC's Hemingway collection... patterned paper, cardstock, & Ribbon.

TAC alpha stamps Mini-Bet and Paint-Chipped Mini.

Bazzill bitty blossom, gold brad.

Stampin' Up slit punch to make the scallop

I'll be honest... I wasn't really a fan of the Mini-bet alpha bet because they are soooo tiny. I have fat fingers... LOL so they are challenging and require a little more work. But my other small alpha stamps would have been a little too big for this layout... 8x8 BTW. So I thought some Faux MM tiny alpha stickers as seen here would have been perfect but I didn't have any. So I pulled out the Mini-bet stamp each letter on scraps and then cut then into tiny squares using scissors. I inked the edges and then use my "X" Xyron adhesive to adhere them. I think I'll be using them more often!

Made in Minutes...

I actually scrapped a layout! It's been awhile since I really have created anything so I guess there's hope that my creative mojo is coming back LOL. This layout took about 15 minutes to put together after I figured out how to arrange the photos.

Products Used:

Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Cardstock: TAC Alpha Stamps: Technique Tuesday & Autumn Leaves Ink: SU and Versamagic  Mini brads: Making Memories

This is one of my favorite stamps sets from TAC, it's called Pick of The Patch. This card took about 10 minutes tops to color and assemble.

Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Cardstock: TAC Stamp: TAC "Pick of the Patch" Ink: Palette & Versamagic, & Gamsol w/ Prisma Colored Pencils.  Mini brad: Making Memories Felt Flower: Target Dollar Spot :)

Happy Monday :)
