More from Ruby Rock-It

A couple days ago, I posted a couple of layouts and a mini album from the Ruby Rock-It kit. Here are a few more layouts from this wonderful Scrap Shotz kit.

These pictures have been waiting for the perfect papers...and this Scrap Shotz kit from Ruby Rock-It are perfect-O!!! Danielle has changed so much in just one year! She was ecstatic on this day that we set up the sprinkler ball, a birthday present from Auntie Ellis, her GodMother. It was short lived though because Madison just HAD to sit on the ball and of course, it popped!

And here are the corresponding pictures with Madison and the sprinkler ball. This was a rather momentus occassion for me as I finally got the shutter speed right to capture the water droplets too!

The pattern papers, gems and die cut are from Ruby Rock-It. The cardstock is Bazzill. The alphas are Chatterbox...I just love these alphas. And the butterflies are Cuttlebugged! (is that a word?) LOL

These pictures are just SO Danielle! She is happy all day long, each and every day...and I am so blessed! I know it! She also loves this dress and rather than pose or sit for me, all she could do was jump, laugh and giggle at me so I had to work with what I had! Yup! An imp!

I am loving the Fiskars Upper Crest border punch...and I am loving putting the gems on its little petite points.

Thanks for dropping by!

It's the First of August!

Wow! Summer is half over! Yikes! That means school starts in just a measly 4 weeks...and Danielle will be going to school every single day! *sniff* *sniff* I am so going to miss her...she and I are such good buddies. We think alike, share the same crazy humour and have fun hanging out together...

Well, I better start writing something else here or I will start crying!

This month I have lots of scrappy things to share. Let's start with a few projects from the Scrap Shotz August Reveal. Gosh! I have to gush about this kit by Ruby Rock-It. They are a new company from Australia and there stuff is FANTASTIC!!! Did I mention fantastic????? Because I really mean it! Their papers really speak to me! (And if you are reading this and are planning on having a design team, can you please please PLEASE pick me??? LOL) Everything about their products speak to me. It's like all their pattern papers match all my pictures; uncanny, eh?

So let's start with a mini album I whipped up in 30 minutes. Yes, it was literally 30 minutes. I took a bunch of extra pictures, cut them down to 2.5 x 3.5 inches, stacked them with the ATC transparencies, cracked open my brand new Bind It All and voila! a beautiful mini album!

The great thing about this album is that I can easily add more pages into this album, say details of the pictures or just more pictures. I love this and can see myself doing a whole lot more of these!

The intent of this layout is to have it hung in Danielle's room. She and Pinkie are inseparable and have been since I gave her Pinkie. Actually Pinkie was purchased from the Peter Lougheed Hospital Flower Shop. I had had my hip replaced and wanted her to have something that she could love as Danielle shared the experience with me when she was 6 weeks old. Yes, she was admitted with me and it was the best thing ever for me. I would have been a basket case without her and I really believed she kept me calm and made me want to recuperate quicker.

Originally this was a circular piece of pattern paper with a few cut outs. I loved the frame so much that I used my coluzzle to cut the inside out. I created another circular layout with the picture of Danielle and Pinkie and all the other gorgeous pattern papers in the kit. Then I popped up the gorgeous frame with pop dots on top of the layout. I also added some of the Ruby Rock-It gems...these are yummers! They are super sparkly. The flowers on the edge of the frame are images hand cut from another piece of pattern paper.


I have wanted to scrap these pictures for so long. Danielle was sooooooo happy with her one piece bathing suit that she picked up on a shopping trip with Pau Pau. And these were her "fashion poses" LOL


With the kit ribbons, I created tabs adorned with the gems. The circles and flowers are hand cut from a piece of pattern paper. Some of the elements are popped up with pop dots.

Thanks for dropping by! I'll have a few more projects from the Scrap Shotz kit to share with you!
