Cards and Scrapping
- Dinner and a Sunset
Dinner and a Sunset, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
I took this photo a couple weeks ago on a Friday night after a painful day at work. Honestly I was just ready to go home. I knew the only thing that would wash away the pain would be a great dinner on Mena’s patio and a delicious [...]
- Hers & His
Hers & His, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
There’s never enough time in the day is there? So here I am, finally getting around to posting a layout I started like 2 weeks ago.
I took this photo the first week Jabari moved in. I thought it would be a good representation of our lives finally coming together: [...]
- Wood Flourishes from Kaiser Scrapbook
Wood Flourishes from Kaiser Scrapbook, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
Kaiser Craft is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite brands. My latest love? These cute wooden flourishes. I discovered them at Scrappin’ Good Time on our last shopping trip. They were $4.99 but I absolutely loved them. Had I not been on a budget, I [...]
- A Birthday Card for a Boy
A Birthday Card for a Boy, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
At work, we’ve adopted 9 children from Kenya via Compassion International, a Christian charity that helps kids around the world. Recently, I just sorted through my card collection and pulled out a few select ones to donate to my office to send to our kids.
I realized [...]
- Scrapp’n Booty Time! (And no, not the one I’m sitting on)
Scrapp’n Booty! (And no, not the one I’m sitting on), originally uploaded by krisalis903.
OHHHH MYYYYYYY! So yesterday, I went out on a scrapbook shopping excursion with the gals. It’s the third one I’ve been on so far and as always, I had a blast. We went out to several different shops all the way out [...]
- Mother
Mother, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
This is the Mother’s day card I made for my mom this year. Luckily I remembered to take a picture of it before I gave it to her
Can you believe I haven’t purchased a rubber stamp set since last Christmas? Believe it! I’ve grown so in love with acrylic [...]
- Using the Scor-Pal to Make Envelopes
Using the Scor-Pal to Make Envelopes, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
I LOVE MY SCOR-PAL! Probably even more now that I discovered how to make envelopes. There are a couple tutorials on their website here. And I found an A2 envelope tutorial using the Scor-pal here on YouTube. I’ve always wanted to be able to make my [...]
- Color Inspiration Challenge #52 Happy Birthday
Color Inspiration Challenge #52 Happy Birthday, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
It’s been several weeks since I participated in one of these so here it is! At first I wasn’t sure how to work with this color palette. In fact, this is the 2nd card I made after the first one turned out boring. I definitely like [...]
- Like a Cat
Like a Cat, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
So I made this layout using some of the photos I took of Izzie a few months ago. While I love the layout it’s missing…something I’m not quite sure yet. Oh and by the way, I have enough of these Thickers Shoebox letters to last me a lifetime so [...]
- Waste Not, Want Not
Waste Not, Want Not, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
At first I was a little annoyed that All Night Media (a division of PLAID) made their dimensional pop-up dots this way where they left behind so much unused foam.
But then I realized you can actually make use of some of the unused foam as shown here. Basically [...]
