Scrap It With A Song - "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson

Today the Rock Chicks are scrapping to the tune of "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson and it is a perfect song for Valentine's Day that is coming up in a week.

A Moment Like This

 by Kelly Clarkson

I created a layout of my daughter and her grandpa.  These two are so funny when they are together. 

I was inspired by a layout of Lisa Dickinson's over at Two Peas In A Bucket.  Lisa suggested a new starburst punch by Jenni Bowlin, but since I  don't have a starburst punch, I created lots of starbursts with my Silhouette Cameo. 

 I layered some and others I put vellum over them to give it  some softness.  I also spritzed the background with some mists and machine stitched around the cut border and through the sunbursts.   The patterned papers are from Echo Park's Be Mine Collection.

                             

I love starbursts and vellum and it was fun to create.  I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog.  It's a new month and you can take part in the fun and upload your layout to Scrap It With A Song.

Have a great day!

A Card To Share...

Happy New Year!  I hope you have a wonderful, happy, healthy, prosperous new year.

I was asked a while back if I would create a card for someone on the other end of the globe who is battling cancer and although I am not a card maker, I felt the need to encourage someone. Apparently, the card recipient loves shoes and I thought I would create a girly card with a shoe.

I used my sewing machine and stitched around the edge of the pink paper.  My stitching is a little crooked I see. LOL.  I then used my Silhouette Cameo and cut out a shoe design and a delicate doily design.  I then added some bling and a sheer ribbon around the heel.

Finally, I created an envelope with coordinating papers from the same collection and used my Scor-Pal and here it is!

It feels good to create for someone that needs a little boost.  Maybe in the new year I will make more cards to brighten someone's day and use up my scraps from my layouts.

Have a wonderful time celebrating the new year and see you in 2013!
