So welcome to our September "Scrapping our Stash" blog hop where you'll find a bit of everything. You should have arrived here from Katrina but if not, the whole list is posted at the end.<br />
I chose to alter a couple pieces I had, an old wreath and some stenciled planks. Yea! some new decorations for our home.<br />

I picked these up last year and love the light gold wash on them, with a bit of the red base showing through. The flip side says "Merry Christmas" in red and black. The lettering was stenciled. </div>

Here's a close up of the bow. The burlap ribbon was an end of season purchase last year from Hobby Lobby. The burlap flower was from there as well, the other stems, pumpkin and berries are from my stash. I used my Cricut "Fall and Winter" cartridge to cut the leaves and enhanced them using chalk pastels.</div>

I had a fall wreath that had seen it's better days so I stripped all the decorations off and started over. I first covered the entire wreath with orange burlap as a base. Then I use 2 in width natural burlap and made half bows, attached with floral u-pins. A few flowers from the stash and a nice walk to gather various dried seed pods which I cleaned and then sprayed with a matte finish lacquer. A small sign done on black card stock with chalk writing.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted the banner to be made of various papers and this was the perfect solution. The letters are cut from the Cricut Lyrical Letters cartridge.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">You should have arrived here from </span><span style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Suzanna's </span><span style="text-align: center;"> Blog and her extraordinary layout. What a talent!</span><br />
<br />
Last month I gave you a preview of decorations I was making for a friend's graduation party for her children. Well, the day has come and gone and it was a great day. I have layouts and altered items, party decorations and mementos to share. Much longer than my usual post, but full of fun and memories and the ideas can be changed up to fit your celebration... whatever it may be!<br />

The pieces were actually left over foam board from the "letters" (to come)... seemed a shame to waste! Letters and Stars were cut on my very old (30 years old but still very usable) Ellison Die Cut machine... its usability attests to physical, manual die cutters vrs. computers. I chose to use this because of the number of cuts I would be making - these plus the 3 banners and attribute poles - all needed 6 inch letters. It was both faster and economical as it didn't wear out any blades or mats - and gave my arms some much needed exercise!<br />

Again, the background paper is wrapping paper. Pattern paper is from Recollection.</div>

Slide on down to the next entry to see the centerpieces and blog listing. (It wasn't cooperating so there are 2 entries... ever have one of "those" days?) Even on a trying day, I remember the verse, dear to my heart and chosen by their parents for them.... "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11</div>

The Centerpieces featured pictures of the grads at various ages and they were reversible, featuring Yaya and Tommy on opposite sides. The biggest challenge? A breezy day and it catching the flags, knocking them over. Yes, they were weighted with rocks but the size of the flags and pix caught the wind and required more than I thought. Thankfully, the wind settled and they were fine.<br />
Flags and pictures were attached to balloon sticks and placed in floral foam, rocks under and over and topped of with Easter grass ( 10 cents/ clearance... wish I could have found more.)<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
Solid Color papers - Coordinations<br />
Print papers - Recollections (Michaels)<br />
Bags - Michaels<br />
Cans - Trader Joe's Coffee ;-) covered with wrapping paper from Hobby Lobby<br />
All die cuts are Cricut - Bible verses from "New Testament" cartridge<br />
Other cartridges used were: Phrases, Lyrical Letters, Alphalicious, Plantin Schoolbook, George and Basic Shapes and Sports Mania<br />
Shapes were embossed with Paper Studio star folder (on Cuttlebug machine<br />
White/black "Congrats" and "2015) flags: lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.blogspot.com (Thanks for the free download).<br />
And then there's Ping Pong Man. Used a paddle and cut a ball in half, added the mortar board and he's ready to play!<br />

<br />
The big day is almost here… high school graduation. For my friend, she has 2 graduating at the same time so she asked for help decorating and documenting their young lives. Love her dearly and she is about as opposite from me as you can get soooo no scrapbook and minimal pictures to work from. (You crafters, like me, have a hard time understanding this!) But we can do this. I even got her to help me with some of the tedious adhesive work! So while the banner pieces are made, they are not yet together as the graduation is still a month off. TODAY I will show you part of the tri-fold display and 2 of the centerpiece samples so that you can gather ideas and get going on your own projects.<br />
<br />
The tri-fold will have Tommy's side and Yaya's side, with family pictures in the center. Because she doesn't have a photo album - yet ;-) - I am placing the pictures on 12x12 pages so they can be removed and put directly into an album. Yes, basically making layouts. So here's the first one!<br />

We are blessed with many friends (see note below) but where to hang their pictures. This is now on the hallway wall and a "safe" display. Safe? you ask. Living in earthquake country and having experienced 2, we know pictures fall and we don't want to take the chance of broken glass in our path.</div>

"Friends" was purchased at Hobby Lobby, edges painted and then covered with paper from "Natural Botanicals" by Paper Studio. The burlap swag is from a 6 inch roll, also from Hobby Lobby.I gathered it a bit, both at the beginning and the end, to give it a swirl effect.</div>

the color, but it was damaged. That made for a lower price :-) and I
loved the burnt orange color underneath, a perfect color accent.</span></span></i></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr>

Birthday cards are needed all year long so decided to make up a few to have on hand. Pulled out the scrap bin and just. had. fun! These are simple cards, easy enough for everyone to make.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJvLcOwbv5d3Dr-9qXAaHP1iJDu_YERt26nY9uEnnWsTdRLQ4yDqghGIeP9P4Q5gtRL8jsBsvPPW5Qr3aTHXuP6VvkZl67lN-hxKRX_8OS34_25UpZtjjRdq250fxIDqE5DX50JpqfCc/s1600/DSC05320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJvLcOwbv5d3Dr-9qXAaHP1iJDu_YERt26nY9uEnnWsTdRLQ4yDqghGIeP9P4Q5gtRL8jsBsvPPW5Qr3aTHXuP6VvkZl67lN-hxKRX_8OS34_25UpZtjjRdq250fxIDqE5DX50JpqfCc/s1600/DSC05320.JPG" height="640" width="619" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This card has a center opening for a change of pace. A bit of Stickles lights up the candle tops. The cake cut is from Cricut. The sticky back ribbon on the bottom is by Forever in Time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The "ribbon" swirling streamers are made of paper. Just cut a thin strip and pull across the scissor blade as you would with ribbon. Nice when you don't have the right ribbon on hand!<br />

This manly card was fun and used up some stickers I won in a drawing. I believe they were made by Jolee though I can't guarantee it as they've been in the stash for a while. The plaid ribbon had previously been purchased for a autumn wreath and here, it's a great addition, adding both color and texture.......<br />

The final card was inspired by a card on <a href="http://practicalscrappers.blogspot.com/">Practicalscrappers.blogspot.com</a> . The stickers are from SRM and one set was placed on satin ribbon for a bit of fun. The jewels are by EK Success.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you're inspired to take a few minutes and make a card for someone you love. Thanks for coming by and I know you'll enjoy the next spot to hop...<br />

She is a great artist and that is mostly self taught. About a 2 weeks
ago she posted a decorative piece "Start each day with a grateful
heart". It inspired me because I am primarily a quilter. She did a
beautiful job with her pinwheel background and it's done in beautiful, bold colors I love. (You
can find it here <a href="http://scrappingwithchristine.blogspot.com/2014/08/creative-blog-hop.html">http://scrappingwithchristine.blogspot.com/2014/08/creative-blog-hop.html</a> and also on her Aug 17 post on that same blog).

Welcome to Practical Scrappers July Blog Hop </h2>
<h3>
Christmas in July </h3>
We are having Christmas in July to give you a little inspiration because we know, that as crafters, those cards and decorations we choose to create don't suddenly appear in December but take time and planning... that and that it is 103 degrees out today so we are trying to "think cool"!<br />
I chose to make a wall hanging. As its large, I had to improvise on the background papers, using wrapping paper and contact paper. "Jesus" is made from gold ribbon sheets (remains of ribbon when rolls are filled and prior to cutting). The snowflakes and chains are from tree trimming garland. The rest is scraps from the stash... truly "practical" scrapping.<br />

Welcome to the May blog hop. While we are using up our "stashes", no one said the pictures had to be old! The last one is only a week old, the other 2 about 10 months. This framed piece will help to remind us to keep in prayer our nephew Cameron and his service to our nation. What a blessing to have him home for a visit this Memorial Day weekend.<br />
<br />
Supplies were definitely from the stash.<br />
Gold star paper - Karen Foster designs All other paper - no identifier on the individual sheets<br />
Star brads - Creative Imaginations<br />
Burlap star - Little Yellow Bicycle<br />
Script lettering - Miss Elizabeth (oh yeah, old stash!) Other letters - Cricut, various cartridges<br />
<br />
<br />
So glad you've joined us. Here's the "hop" list. I hope that we have inspired you to dig in your stash and scrap away! And you know that I'd love to have you as a follower...<br />
<br />
Hop List - May 30 - Final<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This card design is close to my heart as my first crafting love is quilting. That being said, quilts take a long time to complete and cards are MUCH faster and fulfill a need for creative expression quickly. I love hexagons as well</span> and that I am able to use them in both paper crafts and quilting. A shape very popular in the past and making a resurgence in modern paper crafting, especially with these fun papers.<br />

My final card was inspired by my favorite cardmaker, Christine Meyer and one she has posted on pintrest.<br />
Different backgrounds, different shapes, fun simple cards!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span>
All my cards used the following elements:<br />
<b>Paper: </b>Recollections, American Craft<br />
<b>Flowers:</b> Colorbok the circles and hexagons were self cut from the same Colorbok line.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span>
The base paper (black and white circles) for the first card was by Luxe<br />
Happy Birthday scrip - Creative Imaginations<br />
Happy Birthday cut - Cricut Lyrical Letters<br />
All other letters, buttons, brads, twine were from the stash and had lost their identity long ago ;-)<br />

A combination of our Burbank and Simi Valley workshops. If every one had been available to join us, the group would have doubled.<br />
One of the final tasks of the day is to drape the quilts over the pews in the church - ready for "The Blessing" the next day during worship.<br />

We displayed 157 quilts, having already shipped 37. The following Monday, 8 more were completed, giving us a total of 202 for the year! To God be the Glory and I thank Him for my wonderful, dedicated sisters in "Stitchin' for Missions".Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
