Just Laugh

Welcome to the Studio!

Well, I said in an earlier post that I was a layout-making fool this past week.  Here's another one I finished the other day.  I've had this handful of pictures that I didn't know what to do with.  It's photos of my Mom and I at the Georgia Renaissance Festival a few years ago doing our usual goofing off, joking around, and constantly smiling and laughing.  That's us.  We get along like two kids and we're always picking on each other and laughing our butts off.  Plus, it's great when you get to "that age" where your mom can't/won't ground you anymore;)  Or at least if she does ground me, I'll get sent to our scraproom...oh, no!  That's like sending a little kid to Disney;)

I used Basic Grey  Lemonade that I got from the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby.  What can I say?  I'm a paper hoarder in every sense of the term and a bargain hunter to boot.  How can you turn down an entire pack of BG for $6.83?  I stamped "Just" on the little flower tags and tied them to some puffy pink tulle.  The "Laugh" banner is attached together with pink ricrac.  It's a really cute, kinda silly layout just like me & mom.

Also, while I was trying to figure out what the heck to do with this pictures, I found a sketch challenge blog and it just so happened the sketch was perfect my pics!

And now I'm stuck like glue to Stuck On U Sketches!  They have some fantastic sketches and an awesome design team.  It's amazing how many different ways this sketch can be translated.  This is my first time playing along with them over at Stuck On U, but it won't be my last.

February's Finest...Our Card Class & Crop

We had an awesome bunch of ladies and lots of fun at our monthly card class and crop. We worked hard on all our projects...

Our theme for February was "Love is in the Air" and so was the creativity... We began with a treat bag and topper perfect for your sweetheart...


Since owls are popular this year (and because I've always adored them) we did an "Owl Love You Always" card, complete with googley eyes. We also had a soft and sweet card with a lovely heart and a bit of tulle. I just love the texture the tulle adds to it. The "yellow rose" card we worked on was an off-the-wall bit of inspiration I had a few weeks ago. I picked up a spool of yellow ribbon at Michael's and as I was browsing the cardstock section, I noticed how pretty the grey and yellow looked together. Plus I needed a very pretty birthday card for my mother-in-law.


I made this "Bama" card for my husband as a joke, and having so many friends laugh about it, I thought I'd share the love. It didn't disappoint. Our special "Alabama Crimson Tide" cards were a sure hit. We also had an Auburn Tigers version (not shown).




Matter of fact, even an Auburn fan or two was seen making a "Roll Tide" card. (Your secret is safe with me Kim. I'll never tell.)

I just want to say THANK YOU to all the wonderful, crafty ladies I got to spend time with on Saturday. Each and every one of you terrific ladies brings joy to my life and I am blessed!

Until next time...Scrap Sassy!
