Karen Foster Design: Graduation Day & Makin' Waves

Stopping by today to share some new projects made with Karen Foster Design collections. First up is a sweet reminder of Matthew's K+ graduation. I had no idea that the kids would be wearing cute hats, so it was a nice surprise. He was so proud - he was beaming! This page is made almost completely of Karen Foster graduation products with a border punch, pop dots, and some ink thrown in for good measure.


Moving onto summer - here's my big fish playing in our neighborhood pool. I kept this page simple, highlighting just a few products from KFD's Water Fun collection. I layered up two handcut suns on this one. KFD makes some of the best papers for fussy cutting! Hope the summer is treating you well. Capture those memories in as many photos as you can. Happy scrapping!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all those awesome and amazing dads and dads-to-be today!! Here are two cards I made for golfers in my family using the new Golf collection by Karen Foster Design. Be sure to tell the dads in your life how much you love them!

Supplies are available at Scrappin' Sports Stuff.

myStampBOX: 30 Lashes

As we braced for the impact of yet ANOTHER snow day today, I thought I'd share some photos from a much warmer time. Here's a layout whose title was born right at the pool. I snuck in some Mini Alpha stamps from myStampBOX that fit perfectly in my mixed-font title. Hope you're hanging in there this winter!

Happy Father's Day!

Scrappin' Sports Stuff: Slippery When Wet

It's just about time for our neighborhood pool to open, and the kids can hardly stand it! We're definitely ready for some refreshment since it suddenly broke 90 degrees this week. That's Indy weather for you - rainy and 50's one week, 90 the next! Here's a layout I made with photos from our only pool day at Disney last fall. All the supplies and details are on the Scrappin' Sports Stuff blog today. Stay cool!

Scrappin' Sports Stuff: Blessing

Scrappin' Sports Stuff: Coal Mine Tour

There's nothing like sharing a little bit of your childhood with your own kids, and this layout does just that.

Well, here it is! This is quite possibly my favorite layout of all the zillion that I have made. I'm sharing it today, complete with instructions and the supply list, on the Scrappin' Sports Stuff blog.

The cool fabric tag originally said "Rock On" but I changed it to say "On Track." Tricky, huh?

Scrappin' Sports Stuff: Blue/Red Belt

It's my day on the Scrappin' Sports Stuff blog, and I'm sharing a layout about Ian's belt test from November '09. I had fun tinkering with some lasercut titles to create a custom one using two colors to match his newly-earned belt. Hop over to the SSS blog to check out all the details!

Scrappin' Sports Stuff: Victory Field

Here's my first project for the Scrappin' Sports Stuff design team. I scrapped some photos from our family trip to see the Indians play late this summer. I had fun mixing up the baseball supplies on this one. A complete list of products and the instructions for making this layout are here.

I handcut some bats from one paper and added a knotted ribbon.

I also used a lasercut baseball, bat brads and more ribbon on this cluster. Be sure to check out the Scrappin' Sports Stuff online store for great themed products. Check back later this month for another SSS DT project from me.
