Spring Showers Scrapbook Page with a Video!!

Hello everyone!! For Christmas, I received a cartridge that I have been wanting for a long time (due to its versatility), but only now got. The cartridge? Celebrate with Flourish Lite Cartridge!! I've tried it once and so far, I LOVE it! :) I made a video showing you my first project with it!!! Here it is:

Sorry about the bad quality of the picture. I took it in a hurry. :) I hope you enjoyed this layout and video. Come back tomorrow for my 100th post!! :) ~Emma

The 10th Day of Christmas - Our Christmas Time Traditions Layout

Welcome to the 10th Day of Christmas!! I can't believe that it is Christmas Eve Eve already! :D LOL!! I made this Christmas layout using a bunch of different products. I used Storybook cut the Marquee cut and Christmas Cheer for the candy cane. The sticker words are from Doodlebug design. The pattern paper is from the All Seasons II stack from Hobby Lobby's Paper Studio. This is going to hold one of my family's Christmas card pictures that we do every year. One thing that I love about this layout is that it mixes traditional and non-traditional together. Of the two, non-traditional is my favorite. :) Come back tomorrow for a special guest designer. :D ~Emma

Blue and Brown Butterfly Page

Hi everyone! I'm back! I thought that I would share a scrapbook page that I made a while back. I love this page because it was SOOO easy to put together. So so simple. Here's the recipe:

Background Paper from Die Cuts with a View (Blossoms and Butterflies 12x12 stack)
Butterfly cut at 2" from Create-a-Critter
White Gel Pen

Since the stack that I got the background paper from was 12x12 and I scrapbook 8.5x11, I had to do some resizing. I cut 3.5 inches from the left side so that I wouldn't cut off the swirl and then I cut 1 inch of the foil dots from the bottom. But that didn't leave quite enough of the blue dot part. So I stuck it over the strip of butterflies. I think I like it better. -happy dance- :D LOL! I love it when things turn out better than expected. I didn't want to mat the photo, so I used a white gel pen and drew a line around the photo. I used cursive to add the caption to the photo mat. I think it turned out well. :) Also, keep your eye on Facebook tomorrow!! I will have a fun game. :) Hint: it has to do with Think Pink Week!! :) ~Emma

Back to School Scrapbook page

Hi everyone!! Since it is so close to fall/the end of summer/ first day of school, I thought that I would make a scrapbook page. I even have a photo in mind for it. The photo would go on the notebook paper page. I planned all of this out on my Gypsy, so I'm not positive of the sizes.

Recipe:
Apple - Create-a-Critter
Worm - Create - Critter
Pencil - Smiley Cards
Stars welded for border - George and basic shapes
Notebook page cut - Printing 101
'Back2School' phrase - Designer's Calendar
Star paper - All Seasons II sack from Hobby Lobby
Notebook paper - regular school paper :)

I plan to add journaling by the pencil. I personally LOVED making this layout and I hope you enjoyed it too. FYI, we are 7 fans away from 50 on Facebook, so I will do a challenge giveaway for that when we hit that mark. Check out the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KatelynCo.EKS. Thanks for all your support!! ~Emma

'Just Chillin' Scrapbook Page

Yesterday I was in Joann's getting fabric for a sewing project and I go some penguin fleece. This fleece inspired me to create this layout. This is an 8.5x11 inch layout.

Recipe:
8.5x11 piece of pink cardstock
Torn white border inked blue for snow
Penguin cut at 3" from Create-a-Critter cartridge
Hairbow on penguin cut from jellyfish layer. Cut (without Real Dial Size on) at 1.5"
'Just Chillin' phrase cut at 2 inches from the Phrase button on the penguin
Plaid Paper (source unknown) cut at 5.25x4 inches for photo mat with swirlies drawn around it.
The penguin is popped up with a pop dot. :)

I hope you enjoyed this layout today. :) I even know what picture I will put on it. ~Emma

First Steps Layout

I made this layout over the last couple of days and I think that it turned out really well. The little butterfly in the lower right hand corner was cut using a Cricut cartridge that I got for my birthday. I doodled a little bit by the flower paper pieces. I hope you liked this project.

The Picasa web albums and the Facebook albums (on our page 'KatelynCo') are under construction at this time. Sorry about the mess. I am redoing the way my pictures are organized. Thanks for your patience!! ~Emma

'The Kids' Scrapbook Page

This is project number 13 and and challenge number 12. For this challenge I had to make something with a kid theme or make something with a kid. Since I don't have any kids, I just made a scrapbook page of kids. This is the last project of the day, but we still have one post to go: The post of the giveaways/contest. YAYY!! Come back soon for the big announcements!!! ~Emma

Challenge 7 - Soda Guzzler

This was challenge number 7 (make a scrapbook page) and project 8. This scrapbook layout is a funny one. I love this picture of my sister when she was young, guzzling down soda. I created the Coca - Cola element myself. I just love how all the pastel colors were pulled from her scarf and the rest were in the picture as well. Come back for my next project in a little while!! ~Emma

Sweet Cupcake Scrapbook Page

Here is project number two of all the projects of the day (not sure how many there will be). :-) Actually this is Challenge #1 of the day on the blog that I am getting my challenges from. I'm behind. They are already on #3 and I haven't started #2. Oh, well I will catch up. The challenge was to make something with a cupcake. See you guys in a little bit for project number 3 that goes with challenge number 2. ~Emma

Note: All of these challenges come from www.mypinkstamper.com

Birthday Girl Scrapbook Page

So today is a very special day in the crafting year. Today is (drum roll please!).....National Scrapbook Day!!! National Scrapbook Day is held on the first Saturday of every May. National Scrapbook day is not just for scrapbookers. I will do some posts with cards, mini albums, etc. Today there will be several posts. So I thought to start off the day I would show you a scrapbook page. I loved last year's National Scrapbook Day (it was my first year participating). So here is my page that I created. The journaling is smudged as usual. See you in a little while!! ~Emma

Square Frames Scrapbook Layout

I had a crop party with my mom last weekend and this is one of the pages that I came up with. It has a really cute 'frame of frames' around the picture. I saw this idea in a DVD I watched and wanted to try it out. I used the frames and their square middles. I used an extra frame to add dimension to the first letter of the title. The triangles on the photo are just matted triangles on the corners for more of the look of matting without using that much cardstock. ;-) I will have the super cool surprise up tomorrow. So come on back for a new branch on KatelynCo!! ~Emma
