to use every little bit of this file…










I love the border of cauldrons… and that cute little cat is my favorite..








I really love everything about this file..










I used all paper from my stash.


On the green polka dot paper I splashed orange acrylic paint on it.


I love the way it looks with the paint.

Invasion of the Zombies


So excited that you could join me for the FINAL DOOZIE of the Halloween season.  My daughter-in-law teaches at our local community college.  I thought that her office door would be a perfect place for a large doozie!  She is teaching A/P this term and I thought that zombies would be just the right pattern.  Of course, Scrappy Dew http://www.scrappydew.com/store/halloween/halloween_theme.php had just the perfect file!  I used mostly Recollections paper/scraps and I have some really spooky paper from a DCWV Stack that I bought in 2012.  Now this is a BIG DOOZIE, it is 14” x 22”.  (this was so much easier on my old eyes) For the background, I split one sheet of the 12 x 12 paper so that I could frame the poster board that I used instead of card stock.  (i thought it should have some extra omph! since it’s stuck to a door)  I used printed scraps for the zombie clothing and I had to get some bling on it, so there is a beautiful sparkling full moon.  So here it is….



Halloween Door DOOZIE


The office door picture she sent me.


This project was so fun to put together.  I think she got a big kick out of mom making her a DOOZIE.  Gosh that’s it for Halloween 2013.





 So for now, Happy Halloween and bright blessings for Sanhaim, Jana

Mini Halloween Doozie


The month of October is very busy around our house.  My daughters birthday is the first week.  I asked her if she would like anything special for her birthday.  (i set myself up for this every year)  She has a small space in her office at work that she wanted a mini DOOZIE for Halloween.  So of course, I headed to ScrappyDew to look for a file I thought she might enjoy.  This is the one I picked.  It’s called Witch 2013 and here is the link http://www.scrappydew.com/store/halloween/halloween_theme.php  Now I happen to love Halloween and all the decorations and customs.  (it’s possible that i enjoy it just as much as Christmas
So as with any good DOOZIE, it had to have jewels and sparkle.  So my lovelies, here is what I came up with.






I think this really turned out spooktacular!  She really was tickled pink and thought that the small space she had would be perfect.  It has just the right amount of glitter (and so does the studio and house).  Of couse my DIL saw this and she wanted a big DOOZIE for her office door (she teaches AP @ the local comm.college and works as a veterinarian)  I will show off what I created for her on next weeks post. 





So for now, bright blessings!!!!!  Jana

Pirate Crew


Pirate Crew










Here is my latest DT layout featuring Pirates at Scrappy Bay.  This would be a fun way to feature your childs dress up costumes.




I used a variety of papers:   A few  pirate themed, two sets of stripes, black/white and red/white.  You could use Michelle’s wavy pattern she made recently for the bottom layers, and add pola dot ribbon.  I downloaded a free Pirate Font and made my title with Make The Cut.  I also mixed in the Pirate Palz for some fun accessories.

Pumpkin Patch Cutie





This spring our neighborhood was blessed with a new addition.  My neighbors across the street had a little boy.  He is cute as a button!  His parents have received my cards for holidays for a couple of years now.  So I thought it was appropriate that I send little one his own card for Halloween. (of course he being only 6 months won’t get it BUT his parents will)  So of course, I turned to ScrappyDew for a cute file called Pumpkin Patch Baby 2012 http://www.scrappydew.com/store/halloween/halloween_theme.php  I used all scraps again and most Recollections paper.  Here is how it turned out.










I did put glitter on the card, but since little one is so little, mama won’t let him at it.  Now next year, no glittler at all.  Safety first!!!  (i make so many adult cards that I need to remind myself )  I love the Halloween paper that I made the envelope out of.  Just fits.  





Just a short and sweet post today.  Next week I will have a couple of mini doozies to share that I have made for my daughters work places.





Have a wonderful rest of Saturday and see ya next week.





Bright blessings, Jana

Girl Scouts Going Away Card


Hello Hello Hello, so glad that you could pop by!

What mom hasn’t heard the phrase, ‘Mom, can you make me…’.  I got a call from my darling daughter asking if I would please make a going away card that 50+ people from her office could sign.  One of her co-workers at the Girl Scouts of America office is going back to school at Cambridge University for her masters degree.  So I started thinking….

First off I knew that I had the Girl Scouts 2013 from ScrappyDew
pattern file I could use.http://www.scrappydew.com/store/outdoor_palz/  But I was stumped as to what else to put on the card.  So I fretted, but then the lightblub suddenly came on.  She is traveling so maybe a jet plane and some luggage.  ScrappyDew to the rescue!!!  I had in my files the Vacation Plane 2013 file that would just fit the bill.http://www.scrappydew.com/store/world/ 

So now you have the lyrics.  I used the girl scout with the cookie boxes.  I removed the cookie boxes and put luggage and a passport in her hands instead.  Next I photocopied my map of Oregon and used that for background paper.  I made the jet plane and positioned it so it’s leaving Oregon.  So here is the front.





The card is 8”x8” and I knew that I needed extra pages for good luck wishes. So I cut a 12x12 in half, and made 4 extra pages.  Punched holes in the center and made a small book.  Then I decorated the last two pages to make it special for the gal that is leaving.  Here is the inside.






I think on such short notice the card came out really nice.  I was told by my DD that she just loved it!  

I just have to say thank goodness for ScrappyDew.  I know, I know, you say that every time.  But gang, I really believe this.  ScrappyDew has amazing files that can be mixed and matched in hundreds of ways to come up with exactly what you want to make.  Next week, I have a card for a new neighbor of mine that is just adorable.  Bonus is that it is a Halloween card!  

One last bit, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING DAUGHTER!  I love you so very much, punkin…..

Bright blessings, Jana

"Wise Men Still Seek Him"





Don´t you think that´s true???

Bushels of Fun






Bushels of Fun






I used the “Carmel Apple” file for this fun layout.  I always have to get a carmel apple on our visit to Disneyland.  Here are some fun apples they have there.




I used the border, girl and boy for this layout.  I made the candy store myself, and added the basket of apples from another source.  I layered my papers for the borders and used ribbon on the top border.  I used the Waltograph font for the title using MTC.

Trimming The Tree Layout










I know I said a few weeks ago that Fall was my favorite time of year but I think I may have to change my answer! LOL! 





I love everything about Christmas even the decorating. Each year we put up 6 trees so there are plenty of pictures for me to scrapbook. Today I’m sharing a Christmas layout I made using the “Trimming the Tree 2012” file from ScrappyDew. I also used “Building Boys” and “Building Girls” files for the hair on the girl and the little blonde boy to match my kids. I think this layout turned out so cute! I used the I Rock to add a little bling to the page. TFL!
