Let's Scrap 5-11-11

I've finally started to scrap my sister's wedding pics. I've bought tons of yummy wedding stuff but some of it is so elegant I feel sort of intimidated by it, so I started with something more casual, the wedding preparations. I can't scrapbook chronologically, anyway, so I will do the album as usual, whatever inspires me the most is scrapped first, and then placed chronologically in the album. I had a pic of my sister and her father in law getting the balloons ready, and then some pics of the preparations (I had to choose just four to fit this sketch -Let's Scrap's 5-11-11). I also added a list of things they did on that day for the journalling. I love all the little details, so there are lots of close-ups in this post (you are officially warned: it is a LONG post!!!). Here is the LO:

And here are the close-ups:

Lots of the details are fussy cut from an amzing sheet of Pink Paislee paper. I thought this hand was the perfect match for the list of "to dos".

More fussy cutting from the same paper and some Studio Calico cards as well. I love those little cards that come with the kits, always so handy for adding details!

I loved these lace hearts from Mrs Grossman's, just right for wedding pages, and can be used on an elegant page or a vintage or shabby chic one.

A little flag on the top left corner...

And the title. Love the bottom of Sassafras Papers!

Mom and kid

This week's feature at Practical Scrappers is Mom and Kid LO's. The perfect chance to scrap this photo of DD and me that I love. We took it at the IMAX theatre at the Science Museum in London, and it was a movie we loved, plus we had tons of fun playing with the huge glasses.

I thought the LO wouldn't be complete without a pair of glasses, so I used my Silhouette to cut one, and added vellum and some transparent packaging on top to make them shine.

I've saved the tickets from the theatre but, of course, now I wanted to scrap them they were not to be found anywhere, so I used these ticket stickers instead!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye

Stickers Pink Paislee

Letter Stickers: American Crafts

Nurses' Day Card

DD has the most amazing school nurse. She can patch anything up and make anybody feel good in a few minutes. And if she can't, she'll get mom or dad to school immediately. Who wouldn't love her? I know DD loves visiting her so she volunteers to take anybody in her class who needs a band aid or has any other problem to her office. She also gets her t-shirts wet because she knows the teacher will send her to see "nursey" and get a dry one. I've just found out the International Nurses Week is this week, so I have made a card for her. DD will choose a present, sign the card, probably add a picture, and take it to school to give it to "nursey". Here is my card:

TO ALL NURSES, HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Supplies:

Patterned paper: from my box of scraps!

Cardstock: Bazzill

Paper flowers: Sassafras

Brads: Bo Bunny

Sentiment sticker: My Mind's Eye

Chipboard swirl: from the RAK I got from my friend Kathy!!!!

Missed the feature!

I've been ready for yesterday's feature at Practical Scrappers for a long time. I've made my cards, taken the pics, edited them, but forgotten to post them at the Designer Gallery! I missed the deadline and I didn't notice, as I have one of these perpetual diaries where you have to write the date on each page and I gave April 31 days, so all the dates I have for the month of May are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! I've just corrected everything and I hope I'm not making that mistake again.... 

Anyway, here are my cards. The first card is a very simple onethat I put together in about 15 minutes, but still looks good. Love it when that happens.

This one took me much longer than 15 minutes. It's a money holder, though you can't tell from the outside. 

You can now have a peek inside:

This is the inside of the card and you can see there's a small envelope in it. Inside it, you can put the money, as well as writing a message on the tag. 

I love the fact that you could get money as a present but still get sth beautiful with it, even if it's only a card!
