I'm back to show my work!

Wow what a busy two weeks I've had. I send my husband and kids to visit family and scrapped. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked but I'll take it. I was unable to post what I did once I got to South Carolina due to lack of internet access. Those crazy people wanted $11 a day for internet access (as if). So it will probably be several post since I haven't framed them up and edited all of them yet.

Here is the first on.

This is my end of the month summary page or at least it was until I found more pictures for March. It's not my favorite but it will do.



This one turned out really cool. The silver look under everything takes away (it's my laptop). I think I need to try to take another pic. But anyway I layered Hambly overlays. It looked so awesome I did it on another page to. This one is the brick wall uncut and then I cut to of the circle overlays. The lime and the pink. I made sure the small circles made almost a flower shape. I put some Elsie click click paper in the mix and I almost achieved that new look everyone is doing with all that stuff in the middle. I like how it turned out I just wish I could get a better pic.

I'll bring you more soon.

It's True...I Was Made For You


So do you ever buy just ONE sheet of an awesome double sided paper and wish you had gotten 2? This was the case with this particular paper. I wanted to utilize both sides, so this was my solution. I cut out a heart and simply reversed it so I could see both sides of the paper. I folded one side of the heart down and used a contrasting cardstock so I could journal a bit. Then in the empty heart spot, I used a page from a vintage german storybook I found at our thrift store for 25 cents! I have no idea what it says, I just love the little birdie illustration at the bottom.


Since the photo was taken at Sea World in San Antonio, I used a whale chipboard covered in turquoise Stickles. Then I used a KI Memories Softies Black Corner to imitate the spray coming out of his blow hole. I have a small collection of vintage stuff (b/c really, that's what it is, just "stuff."). Recently I acquired these taxi cab coupons which I used on the layout.

Using those CHA goodies

Hi Everyone!! Heather asked me to help her out while she's out of town and well if you know me you know I can't wait...lol She's not even gone yet, but here I am posting away!!



I love using the stickles to outline things, as you can see I've used them on the prima sprites to give them some extra dimension. Also, I've outlined some of the stars on the KI Lace paper. Head on over to the store there are a lot of new items in stock that I'll be scooping up soon!

Have a Great Weekend!!

Scrapbooking Recipes

With the holidays coming so fast we need more hours in our day. One way I've found to help is quick and easy meals. Here is one that I love to use when I have a full day.

Lazy Log Cabin Casserole:

1lb stew meat cubed
1 can of Cream of Celery
1 can of Cram of Mushroom
1 packet of Beef Onion Soup (I don't use this. I just add salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried minced onions but I'm an eye ball cook)
Toss all this in the crock pot together give it a stir put it on low and cook it for 6 - 8 hours. Home cooked meal with just a few moments prep. Put a salad bag with it and your hubby can't be upset that there isn't a home cooked meal on the table.

Do you have a quick recipe? email me hgturner@everythingscrappn.com
