7 Gypsies Class

This weekend I took 2 classes with 7 Gypsies at my local scrapbook store, Pocketful of Treasures.
It was so much fun. I hadn't taken a class in so long.
It was fun to hang out with scrapping friends for the day.
On top of that, I love the 7 Gypsies product. It's very vintage and fun.
Here are some pictures of the fun creative day...

Me and Robin. I love this girl. We met a very long time ago at an all night crop party with her and her daughter Ashley.
We all hit it off between Robin, Ashley, my mom, sis and Ash.
Ever since then we have pretty much kept in contact through our fantabulous hobby.
I am so glad we have become friends. Everytime we see each other it's like we were never apart. We just catch right up like there was no time between us.
It's been fun. Except this time,
we were missing everyone(Ashley x2, Mema and Sis)but the two of us had a great time anyway.

Note to Robin: Had a blast with you today. I know I will see you soon.
Ashley x2, Mema and Sis, we missed you all!!!

These are the fun ingredients for our 1st project for the day.

This is what we created with it...this adorable mini book.
We used silver foil, hole punches, glue, chipboard, trinkets, metals and even a book bra...yes, I said a book bra. The cutest thing ever.
As you can see in the picture, it is a strap that holds the book closed.
I hope it holds better than some of mine have in the past. lol!!

This is the whole class with our 2nd projects in hand.
It was a little house with a mini book on the underside of the roof.
We used a lot of the same items and then some on this one.
Chipboard, metals, elastic binding, vintage papers and
a bunch more amazing stuff.

Last year when the Gypsy girls were here, Mema was here and went to class with me. So the girls missed her and decided to make a sign to tell her.
This is what I text to her during the class
directly from Debbie and Paula.

Message to Mema: Debbie and Paula said to tell you they missed you in the class.They also said it was very quiet without the Mema ruckus they had experienced last year.
Oh yea, and they really wanted to use your Big Lots scissors. Lol!!

This is the Gypsy girls, Debbie and Paula and
store owners Meagan and Janice.
Thanks to you all for hosting such a great day.
We had a blast!!
You guys are GREAT!!!

One last paparazzi shot in front of the Gypsy stash!!What a great time we had today.
Thanks again to Megan and Janice at
Pocketful of Treasures for hosting all us ladies.
We had a great time.
And thanks to Debbie and Paula for the fun you brought.
We always have fun with the two of you.

Scrap Tiffany Black & White Photo Challenge-Part 2

This week's Scrap Tiffany Challenge was using Black/White photos.
This was quite easy for me because I love using black n white's.
They seem to work with any kind of paper you decide upon.

Not to mention, when you walk into my closet those two colors are the primary colors you see. When I buy a shirt, I tend to look for the black and then say, "I wonder if they have that in white?".
Well, maybe I need to get out of my closet box and buy other colors.
I suppose that is another blog post for another day.

For today, here is my layout for this week's challenge.

Supplies used: Patterned paper-BoBunny "Alissa"; Sticker's-BoBunny "Alissa";Letter stickers-BoBunny"Alissa";
Flowers-Prima;"I love you" Embossing folder-Cuttlebug; Date rub-on-Imaginisce; Father vellum quote-My Minds Eye;
Misc.-pink ribbon, tulle netting, stamps, Stickles, white pen, rhinestone brads, sewing machine, square scallop punch.

I chose to use this picture of my husband and newest kid on the block, my Adoration. She is about 3 weeks old in this picture. Seems like yesterday, now she is just over 4 months. Where does the time go?
When our photographer was taking these shots, I was upstairs and didn't really see them until she sent them to us. I was floored and loved these of the two of them the most.

I thought this BoBunny paper was the perfect combo for the picture.
It has the pink for her, and the black for him.
I wouldn't normally put a man on pink paper
but in this case "she" rules and I think it works.

Make sure to stop at Tiffany's and look at all the other
Black & White layouts for this weeks challenge.

Scrap Tiffany Brads/Eyelet Challenge

This week's Tiffany Challenge was Brads/Eyelets.
Wow..even though I still have a ton of these little guys, somehow I only really seem to use them to attach something.
That is great, however, those tiny little metal pieces are so much more.
It was fun to create with them in mind as top priority again.
So here's what I created....

Supplies used: Teresa Collins-patterned paper & stones;7 Gypsies-Black gaffer tape;
Making Memories-Black brads;Bazzil-Black Cardstock

Make sure visit Scrap Tiffany to see the first set of the
Design Team take on this challenge for this week.
There is some great art over there.

Scrap Tiffany "Monochromatic" Challenge

This week's Tiffany challenge was your take on "Monochromatic"
At first I really stopped to think about this one but
it didn't take long for me to pull it together.
I am happy with the results.
I dug through my stash searching for the color I saw most,
then went from there.
The subject was an easy one...My girls.
Samantha 15, Brooklin 6, and Adoration almost 4 months.
These gals are so much alike in so many ways but so different in many other ways. However, I love them all the same.
I am blessed to have such great girls.

This is the result...

This piece was embossed with my Cuttlebug...
