I can't believe that it has been so long since I've posted anything here. I haven't done much in the way of paper crafting in quite some time. Pete & I have both been sick since the holidays and are just now beginning to feel almost normal again.<br />

My sweet friend K Andrews is hosting a blog hop this weekend with loads of wonderful blog candy to be given away. Just click on her button on my side bar and enjoy the Cricky across the 50 blog hop. While hopping be sure to visit <span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.createncraft.com/">www.createNcraft.com</a> .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Enjoy the blog hop, there are some amazing projects and you get to learn something about the states that make up our great country. </span>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12449607859599455353noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810230010619212352.post-37410155511792170922010-12-21T11:23:00.000-05:002010-12-21T11:23:38.092-05:00Merry ChristmasSorry to have been so neglectful here. December has been a busy month for all of us but I don't seem to be as well organized as most of you. I see that others keep up with their blogs. My friend Kristal posts almost daily while being super creative AND sharing with everyone via video tutorials. But then, she is young and amazing.<br />
<br />
I finally made some Christmas cards. Some time ago I had ordered some American Crafts Glitter card stock from Kim Bush at Cutters Creek (she's one of my favorites). The card stock is absolutely gorgeous, so much so, that I then ordered AC Metallic card stock, also gorgeous. Those of you who know me, know that I have issues with using patterned paper and specialty card stocks. I love looking at them and thinking about how I'll use them but I have a hard time actually cutting them. Crazy, I know. I mean, I can always buy more, right?<br />
<br />
I finally used a sheet (okay 1/2 a sheet) of the glitter cs! I made 4 cards with it, 2 each of 2 variations of a stair step card. Here they are:<br />

I CASED the design from her video on StampTV. I'm not much of a stamper and I had loads of trouble with the stocking. I tried conditioning the stamp but still couldn't get the ink coverage I wanted. After a dozen or so stamped images, I just went with it.<br />

There are several good tutorials online on this technique.<br />

Their first reunion took place in 2000 and I had scrapped up to the 2003 reunion which I had started but not completed. The album remained that way until about 2 weeks ago.<br />
<br />
We leave for the next reunion later this month and I would really like to have the album up to date by then. We always have a large display of memorabilia in the hospitality suite and the album has been part of that since 2004.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the pages I've been working on: <br />

I have just completed 2006 and have started printing photos for 2007. The biggest issue is that there are over 100 photos to choose from for each year and over 100 attendees. I don't want to leave anyone out so I have a terrible time picking out photos to use.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12449607859599455353noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810230010619212352.post-689552563033380632010-09-02T09:20:00.000-04:002010-09-02T09:20:57.584-04:00Getting Cricky with K Andrew Designs<a href="http://www.kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/">Getting Cricky with K Andrew Designs</a>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12449607859599455353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810230010619212352.post-9016051108734394202010-08-27T13:13:00.000-04:002010-08-27T13:13:03.784-04:00Scrap'n for Fun: Blog Candy from BrendaCheck this out!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://scrapnforfun.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-candy-from-brenda.html?spref=bl">Scrap'n for Fun: Blog Candy from Brenda</a>: "Blog Candy!

I did layouts for Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and North Carolina. I enjoyed the challenge very much and I think I will try to do some more states.<br />

He has 3 girls, Emily, 9; Abigail, 5; and Molly,3. The girls love to visit my craft closet and, as Molly says, do "arps and craps."<br />
They are content to spend hours drawing, stamping, cutting, and gluing. Molly loves to make cards for everyone, Abi loves to make "Artist Training Cards" (actually artist trading cards) and trade them with her sisters. Emily enjoys card making and scrap booking. I think she was 3 when she did her first scrapbook. Of course, Nana (me) enjoys crafting with all of the grandkids.<br />
<br />
I recently completed a scrapbook page for each of our granddaughters, Madison & Allison. Madison had a part in her middle school production of Annie, Jr. and Allison had a dance recital.<br />

Now, I need to get to work on an album for my Mom. I plan on doing circle pages that will fit into a decorated tin.

Some time ago, Kristen posted a request to have cards sent to her daughter, Hailey, for her Sweet Sixteen birthday, a card shower. Now that Kristen is laid up for awhile due to some surgery, Hailey would like to return the favor. Below, is an email I received from Hailey:<br />
<br />
<div>Thanks! </div><div>If you would like to post it on your blog that would be awesome! I would love to see this get REALLY big! Please feel free to pass it on.

I colored the butterflies using some glitter gel pens. Its hard to see in the photos but the paper has glittery effects as well.<br />

I used a linen textured paper as Gina K did and I love the way it looked. I first stamped butterflies (the same MS stamps mentioned above) using a VersaMark stamp pad. I let those images dry and then stamped some more butterflies. I embossed those using UTEE but next time I think I'll use clear detail embossing powder. I went over everything with 3 colors using a sponge dauber. The VersaMark images that had not been embossed look like shadows while the embossed images really stand out. I'm going to try this technique again using flower stamps next time.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12449607859599455353noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810230010619212352.post-92126335680301255262010-06-28T09:09:00.000-04:002010-06-28T09:09:36.173-04:00..........Denise has blog candy<a href="http://lalasworldblog.blogspot.com/"> http://lalasworldblog.blogspot.com</a><br />

We seriously need to buy a new CPU for the desktop computer. It took forever to scan and save the pages.<br />
<br />
The pictures follow this post so don't forget to scroll down and look at the older post. <br />
<br />
This is the first 8 x 8 scrapbook I have ever done and it was quite a challenge for me to get all the photos that I wanted to use scrapped. I am used to working in a 12 x 12 format. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the results and will be giving the original album to Mary & Mike Alcorn to save for Matthew.<br />

<br />
I am going to take this opportunity to ask you to support organizations that help families battling cancer. My personal choices are : CureSearch (funds research for treatments and cures of childhood cancers) The Leukemia/Lymphoma Society and Julia's Rainbow.<br />
<br />
Julia's Rainbow was set up by my friend Kathy to help families that are trying to cope with the challenges of childhood cancers. Kathy is using Julia's Rainbow to pay forward all the support her family received while her daughter, Julia, battled Leukemia (twice). Julia is a happy. healthy 8 year old now.<br />

<br />
In the spirit of "paying it forward" I have just completed a 20 page scrapbook of the Miracle Miles 5K Fun Run that was organized by some very special ladies in my neighborhood with the always Amazing Stacy leading the efforts.<br />
<br />
This event was a benefit for one of our neighborhood families that has a very young child battling a brain tumor. I am proud to say that many of my internet friends contributed amazing cards that were raffled off at this event. Heartfelt thanks to all of those who contributed. The 5K event raised over $5200.00 and the cards contributed to that total.<br />
<br />
The scrapbook of this event was my first attempt at 8" x 8" scrapping. The sheer number of photos I had made 8 x 8 scrapping a real challenge but I managed to get 89 photos onto 20 pages. I still have to scan those pages and I'll upload those in a later post.<br />

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day, a day when the graves of those who had fallen in battle would be decorated with flowers. When I was a child in school we used to buy artificial red poppy pins from the local VFW. We would wear our poppy pins proudly. I remember marching in the Memorial Day parade that would begin at the town War Memorial, a large statue depicting the flag raising on Iwo Jima. Our teachers and families made sure we understood the meaning of that day. Memorial Day is about coming together to honor those who gave their all serving their country.<br />
<br />
Now we have the National Moment of Remembrance, at 3:00 PM local time, take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices that so many have made in order for us to enjoy the freedom we have today.<br />
