Birthday Banner

The birthday banner reads, "1 year older" and includes a large medallion that can be removed on placed on the birthday person.  It is bright and colorful and made with Doodlebug paper.  I love Doodlebug - so happy and cheerful!! The medallion is from Making Memories, but I reworked it and added more ribbon on the bottom and redesigned the middle so it went with the banner better.  I used a cut out of a really cute dog jumping and wearing a birthday hat from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge.  Fun, fun, fun.  Already designing in my head the 4th of July banner for next month!!

Spring Banner

I have been so delinquent in posting for the last couple months!! I am so sorry.  My sister passed away in New York, my daughter and her family (my only grandchild that lived by me) moved back to the Sacramento area and much traveling has been done.  Because I now have two children who have moved back to California, my husband and I purchased a condo in the Rocklin area and share our time between Utah and California.

April also saw another successful scrapbook retreat come and go and in my spare time I tried to keep up on my monthly banners.

Above is my Spring banner - I know it is now summer but it actually was put on the shelf April 15th!

Close ups of Easter Banner

April Banner - Easter

I'm a little late getting the pictures up for the Easter Banner - so sorry.  We had a death in the family and I  finished the banner and kits but ran out of time getting the pictures up. Call Heartland Paper in Bountiful, Utah for your own kit!

New Cards

 I had so much fun making this card! I finally used my honeycomb sheets from Inky Antics.  Loved how they turned out.  I purchased the honeycomb sheets at Archivers but I noticed you can buy them direct from Inky Antics.  I think I may have to order more!

 Fun Birthday card - love the owl.

 Of course we all need a fun St. Patricks Day card.  How better to say "how lucky I am to have you!".

Loved the shape of this card, unfortunately I didn't test the size and it didn't fit in an A2 envelope - had to buy the next size up, bummer!

March Banner - So Lucky!

The March Banner is now at the store! Call Heartland Paper to get yours now! 801-294-7166

Scrapbooking Retreat Provo, Utah

Patreska Papers tried a new kind of scrapbooking retreat. We stayed in a hotel in Provo, Utah and combined scrapbooking with shopping! (what a fun combo!). We shopped at Pebbles in my Pocket, Archivers and a mini warehouse sale with American Crafts. We had 16 ladies in a smaller room than usual but found we enjoyed it more because we got to know each other so much better! We laughed our heads off late into the night.
