Summer Salt and Pepper

I have been looking for plastic salt and pepper shakers to take outside with my Captain America melamine plates and accessories.  I can't find any anywhere.  So I came up with a second option.  Husband had purchased these pre-filled ones at Target.

I pulled out some scrapbook paper scraps, cut them to size and used my tape runner to glue them on.

 

 

 

I decided to tie the jute around them to make sure the paper stays well stuck down.

 

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by,

Blessings, Jeannine

Prima Fall Color Palette

Look at the gorgeous colors in this months palette at Prima!

The teals add a special coolness to the warmth of the rust and maroon.  I can see how this would make a great scrapbook page or centerpiece for a Thanksgiving table.

Baseball Season is Here!

It's baseball season and Daughter's BF is a pitcher at his college. So I'm back to doing baseball pages. I have quite a few of Son in Little League. I hope my photography skills have improved. I had to get out my old Pentax K-1000 35mm camera!! It is the only camera we own with a great zoom lens. However the zoom lens must be dirty because all the pics came out with a black spot across one side. The pics below were taken with Daughter's Kodak Easy share camera, they were the best photos. I picked 3 that showed action through a pitch.
Thanks for looking, Hope you enjoy.



I love the "tink, tink" onf baseballs hitting the bats. It always reminds me of spring. We live across the street from the high school baseball diamond.

February DL Trip

Seems like there are always pictures of Disneyland on my desk. These are from February 20-21, 2009. This one of Daughter with Peter Pan was done using Hot off the Press Disney Papers. The background and the tag and word strips were all there. I just added cardstock matts and a short piece of ribbon. Peter Pan was funny. Daughter posed with him then he kept teasing her by moving around. She finally grabbed him to hold him down. Good thing she wasn't catching his shadow!

Daughter made BF wait in line at the Princess Royal Walk so I could get pics of him with the princesses. We had plenty of him with characters, but not a princess. Used the Hot off the Press papers again and added Prima flowers. Letters cut out with Cricut's Basecamp cartrige.

Used the Marakech line from Basic Grey. Background paper and rub-on for the journal block, I love this line. The ribbon is sheer between two solid satin strips.

Dear Husband has a hard time smiling and coming out as good looking as he is in person. I took a bunch of shots while Son got him relaxed and laughing. I painted corrugated cardboard, then printed the design on the kraft paper. He looks so relaxed. Away from all the cares of the world. We really hate going back to our real world.!

Experiment in Black and White

I walked into Michael's about a week after my birthday and the first thing I saw was this new paper line from http://www.kandcompany.com/shop/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=769called Que Sera Sera. I fell in love and spent all my birthday money on brads, paper, journal blocks, and a die cut package that incuded paper and plastic overlays. Amazing stuff. So here's my first page. Needs a title but I didn't know what.

So of course kitty was helping me snap the photo!

True Love

Another Valentine's inspired page. Daughter and BF at Disneyland in November. But the Christmas planting in the background screamed out for more flowers!

Sweethearts

Son and his GF at Disneyland. Makes a perfect Valentine's Day type scrapbook page.

January Jumpstart

Yesterday was the annual January Jumpstart for scrapbooking that my Creative Memories consultant holds. I realized this year that all my friends go to different churches now so the only time we get to catch up is at scrapbook events. I think I did more talking than working! However, I did get several pages done. Here are a few of my favorites.

Disneyland is always our favorite vacation spot. It's more fun with the kids and their BF/GF's.

Mini File Folder Travel Journal

I made this travel journal using Christy Miller's template that she posted on the Memory Makers Magazine blog. It came out really cute. At first I was going to give it to my Husband for his next trip overseas, to save receipts etc in. However, I think I will donate it instead to a fundraiser that includes a silent auction. The fundraiser will raise the final support for the two ladies from our church who are going on the next mission trip with my husband. It is hard to raise money around here so fundraisers dinners are absolutely necessary.

I also made another of these file folder minis using bright papers and a "love" theme. It has more ribbon and less of the travel feel. Still cute. However, I love the collage look and the layered old world feel.

Enjoy.

Scrapbook

For some reason I have a hard time figuring out what to post on my blog. I've been wanting to post this scrapbook page for a while but my camera went to Jordan and Egypt with Husband so I haven't gotten around to it.


I made some pages to enter the Memory Maker's Magazine Masters contest. I really wanted to use this one but couldn't get all the needed model release forms signed in time. That's the problem with adult/college age kids. The pictures often include their friends who are from different towns. They always have to sign for themselves as they are over 18. So I thought I'd post here.

I loved the pictures of Son and Daughter with their dates. We took the kids to Disneyland in April and had a great time. Son and GF had taken swing dancing all semester at college and found the swing dancing at the Carnation Plaza a lot of fun. Daughter and BF are walking down the queueing line at the Indiana Jones ride. Sorry the journaling didn't show. I used Olive ink on olive paper. doesn't show in the photo.
