Family

In this LO all the Leroux family posed for the pictures. Last summer was the first time in a long time that everyone was together. We were able to all gather at the local playground and got another relative to takes the photos. Since our "family" keeps growing we will wait until more grandchildren are born to have a professional photographer takes photos for us.

It was created based on skatch 215 from Scrapbook Challnges.

4th of July 2009

Here is my LO for the Stuck?! Birthday Bonus Sketch 2 from August 21st.

SRCS 6th grade graduation

Here is my final LO of my son's 6th grade graduation.

I used sketch 214 from Scrapbook Challenges.

I also used a white pen and a stencil around the edges of my black background paper. This met the weekly challenge for Practical Scrappers to use white pen/white markers.

Practical Scrappers Sketch

This LO was created based on the sketch from 8/20 for Practical Scrappers.

I used some lace cardstock for part of the backgound, ribbon, paper strips, a button, and some ink.

50

This 50th Birthday card was so easy to make! I used cut black paper that I had. Next I stamped 50 in each white space. I know a couple of people who turn 50 this fall so they will each be receiving one of these cards.

This card was created for the Aug 23rd Weekly Challenge from Practical Scrappers. The challenge was to use lace cardstock.

Tradition

This LO is based on the August Monthly Challenge from Practical Scrappers to use water. I sprinked water on top of y Glimmer Mist to create some water marks on my backgound.

I also created the circles by using water.

• In the Sepember 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes they showed how to do this.


• I cut 2 1/2 inch circles from cardboard. I used some cardboard packing materials from one of my paper packs that I had.


• I cut patterned paper in 4 inch squares.


• I wet the paper under the faucet. Patted off the excess water from it.


• Took the paper and pulled it from the middles to form o cone shape. Then tied thread around the very tip.


• Next I wrapped the paper around a cardboard circle.


• The circles were set aside to dry.


• After a couple of hours I used glue dots to adhear the circles to my LO.

CUTTING

This LO was fun to do. It is my daughter cutting her pumpkin to create her jack-o-lantern from halloween 2009.

I used paper to make half the pumpkin and then just drew the outline on the other half. I then used my paper piercer to make holes in the paper. I then used embroidery floss to stitch the Xs around the inside edges of the paper.
