About Me

My photo
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

Here's todays free pattern:





Today's stamps we are showcasing is called:  

Tag It


Here's my creation:




I wanted to create a fun way to write down your Christmas Wish list so I came up with this!

I took the SVG for the large tag from Tag It and did an offset feature (on my SSDE).  Then I dragged it down to get the size I wanted.  I didn't change the width at all, just the length.  Then I took the SVG of the flag stamp and lined it up on my tag. 



 I inserted a perforated line towards the end of the svg.  I wanted to leave enough room for the brad that will hold these all together.  This way once the person writes their wish on the piece of paper they can tear it off and put it into the jar.  The svg was longer than the actual stamp so I masked off the back of the stamp, then stamped once.  Next I inked up a portion of the stamp and laid it over the existing stamp already to give me longer lines that fit my design.  I never removed the mask part of the stamp.

I used another one of the tags to make a matting for the words Christmas Wishes (which I created in my SSDE software then did a print and cut using the SVg of the stamp I was using).  The snowman head is from Winter Treats which is currently available in the store HERE

To color him I used my Spectrum Noir Markers and some Glossy Accent on his hat.  Once again I used my trusty SVG's on the Snowman.  Gosh I love those things!
