May Blog Hop with Practical Scrappers


Good morning!!  Ready for a fun Scrap Your Stash Blog Hop?  I know that I sure am!



Practical Scrappers closed up shop on regular posts effective Mid May - but we will continue to run monthly hops because it is well loved by both our designers and fans!

For this hop, there is only rule:  to create from your stash - it can be anything...cards, layouts, pocket pages, etc. All of the designers have truly unique creations.  You should be arriving here from Laura's blog - if not, then head back to the Practical Scrappers site and start from there.

For my part of the blog hop, I created a layout using a sketch from Page Maps Calendar 2014, Farm House Paper, a bit of twine, and some My Mind's Eye papers.  Digging into my stash was a great idea - I've been hoarding several kits - thankfully, I have realized that its time to reorganize my scrappy space and create on a more regular basis.

Just before school was out for the summer and after my honey had been working 80+ hours a week - we headed up north to Prescott, AZ.  I really love going up there - 85 degrees versus our 105 degrees.


Every time we go on this hike, I take a photo of that sad, dead tree.  It was damaged in a lightning strike years ago and is still standing.

 Want to win a bit of scrappy stash of your own?  
Become a follower and leave a comment.  
One lucky winner will be chosen next week Friday.  
I can only ship to scrappy pals who live in the United States.

Next stop on the hop is Wendy C 

Have a great day and enjoy the hop!

For my part on the hop, I created this very colorful layout of my son's 15th birthday.  Yes - in the Johnson house, we take great care to select a "theme" for birthdays and then go all out.  My son, who is rather creatiave, too,  came up with the balloon banner after looking on Pinterest.




Game time, see if you can spot the items that are used in pairs - to celebrate our Second Birthday at PGCB.



The fabulous store Creative Embellishments is offering a $25 gift certificate to our random winner!

KLD: Sunnybrook Lane Designer Templates {Blog Hop}

Kiwi Lane Designs Blog Hop! 

Welcome KLD fans and thank you for joining us all on the blog hop today!  I was so thrilled when I found out that I was going to be using Sunnybrook Lane Designer Templates for my project.  If you have not used KLD Designer Templates, then what are you waiting for?  The templates are so fun to work with - you can layer them onto your pages or cards and decide what to do prior to cutting your beautiful papers.  Here's a video to help you out with the framing technique.

One of the things that I enjoy most about using the templates is that you are not limited to using the entire template in your design.  In the "Tough Girl" layout, I used a portion of the template under the banners both above and below the photo of my girl.


In my "All Boy" layout, I used the templates to split the layout and then I used a portion of the templates to create the bracketed pieces.  As you can see, the Designer Templates are very versatile.  Have fun hopping and I cannot wait to see what you create with the Sunnybrook Lane templates.

Here’s the lineup:
Kiwi Lane 
Deborah Johnson   <----- you are here!

ONE random winner will receive wait for it .... a prize package from Simple Stories - they are this month's sponsor here at KLD!!!!  Seriously Simple Stories is one of my favorite manufacturers!  This prize will be awarded to US or Canadian residents only and if there's a winner outside of those areas, then a $25 gift code to the Kiwi Lane Shop will be issued.  All this just for leaving a comment on all of the blogs! The winner will be announced on the Kiwi Lane Blog on Thursday, September 12th.  (That's one winner for the entire blog hop - just in case you were wondering!)

I, too, will be giving away a bit of sweet swag on my blog.  You need to be a follower and you need to leave a comment on this post.  I'll announce the lucky random winner also on Thursday, September 12th.

Materials used:
KLD Sunnybrook Lane Designer Templates
Lucky 7 Factory (from Quebec, Cananda) RETRO MODE collection

Stellar Start S.W.A.T Blog Hop



Welcome to the first S.W.A.T. blog hop!  

Today S.W.A.T is welcoming our new team members and to celebrate we are having a Red, White and Blue Blog Hop and Challenge. What a great way to introduce you to the new team members.  (That’s me inlcuded!!)

Here in the USA its almost the 4th of July so everywhere you look you will find Red, White and Blue, so that’s the challenge we have for you! 

For my project I created a layout.  I went through my stash and pulled the ever adorable October Afternoon paper.  While looking at the paper, I kept thinking about my son and his first day of kindergarten.  He was so excited to be starting a new adventure.  He had wanted to start school when he was two years old and I can still hear him saying, "I go school Mommy.  I ride big bus."  He wanted to go to school with me and ride the bus that would travel through our neighborhood.  Too CUTE!  Well - he finally did get to go to school and his first day of kindergarten was a Stellar Start for him.  He was firmly convinced that every day should be a school day so he could learn and play and learn some more.  That was nine years ago.  This fall, my "little" boy - who towers over me and has a deep voice - will be attending high school (eek!).

Capturing special moments through scrapbooking is part of why I do this crafty "stuff".  I also absolutely love creating something given just a tiny bit of inspiration such as a photo or a sketch or a conversation that I've had with my gal pals.  Here's the layout and I hope that you've enjoyed a little walk down memory lane with me, this morning.  This has been a Stellar Start for me as well!







Remember just use Red, White and Blue - anything goes maybe even a layout about fireworks that go way {HIGH} up in the sky and you have until July 28th 11:59PM EST to link up your project over at S.W.A.T.  As an extra incentive for my blog, I am also giving away a little bit of scrap happiness just be sure to be a follower and comment by Monday, July 1st at 11:59PM EST.

The Rules are:

1.    You MUST be a follower of each S.W.A.T Girl’s blog and leave a comment on each blog and; 

2.    You MUST also be a follower of the S.W.A.T blog.

3.    You must email your quote answer to: swatscrappygirl@gmail by Monday, July 1st at 11:59PM EST

Now hop on over to Doris’ blog to see what she has in store for you!

Here is the lineup in case you get lost!
