2013 ARTISAN ENTRY #1-MOMMY'S LITTLE HELPER PAGE:

Hello there and Happy 4th to you! It's official, I'm not an Artisan this year:( But several of us decided to get our own Blog Hop going and share our projects with you:) As some of you know, scrapbooking isn't my thing (apparently nothing else was either this year, lol), so I'm going to start with my scrapbook pages, saving my favorite projects-3D, for the end. So stick with me for the next 10 days, as they'll get better!

I'm not going to bore you with alot of details and list all the products, as today is a holiday and I've got a bottle of wine with my name on it and the brats and s'mores are calling-not necessarily in that order:)

I made this page with pictures of our little grandbaby Quinten. His mommy is always baking something yummy and he wanted to help this time.

My peach of a hubby took all the pictures of my entries for me as I was working right up to the deadline-as always! And he took lots...yay!

I loved the picture frames from My Paper Pumpkin Good Life Brag Book a couple of months ago and thought I'd use them on this page. Hmmm...just had a thought. I thought this would be good exposure for My Paper Pumpkin, but I wonder if I disqualified myself using these??? They were current at the time, but since MPP is a monthly deal...eh, I'm not going to go there and do that to myself. Doesn't matter now anyway...

I used the sets Create A Cupcake, along with the coordinating Cupcake Builder Punch, A Cherry On Top and Designer Typeset.

The color scheme is More Mustard, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, Summer Starfruit and Pool Party.

Sorry these photos aren't the best. All my pages are 12 x 12 and kinda hard to photograph well. Maybe some of my things will be on display at Convention and I can get some better photos.

Well, you get the idea for my first project...

I'm posting my project a little early. The hop doesn't begin til tomorrow morning, but I knew I'd need help from my hubs with the link crap. He has to get up at 3:30 in the morning and knew he wouldn't feel like helping me after fireworks, so I had to get the help when I could...and before I had too much wine:)

Here's a list of the other participants and their first projects. Can't wait to see them!!!
I am the 4th stop. You should have just come from Lauri's blog. Here's links to everyone else's blogs in case you get lost, lol.  Next up is Kandi!

  2. Laura, This page is absolutely fabulous. Those pictures are precious and for someone who professes that scrapbooking is their weak spot, this is actually a strong entry.

  3. You did a fantastic job capturing the memory, and in using a number of stamp sets to do it! With each picture I kept thinking, "wow, that is a great set to use" I can't wait to see your other creations

  4. That is a totally CUTE Scrapbook page! Love how you used the frames and created a "Negative." Love the cupcakes. Totally get what you mean about disqualifying yourself as I've thought the same thing and am certain that is what I did last year. Anyway... A fun page!
