What Are You Working On?

These are a few layouts I did on National Scrapbook Day.  Like I mentioned . . . I was so thankful to get a lot done.  It felt so good.  These are just a couple.  The first one is a Hambly transparency using my Fiskars squeeze punch in two different shapes for the squares.  The scan is not that great but I think you get the jist.  It’s a clear transparency with some gridlines.  Some of the squares are also raised with Fiskars 3-D foam dots.  I just happen to have some tickets in my stash that day too and a puzzle piece in Chuck E. Cheese colors having to do with pizza.

The second layout is one I did several weeks ago using Heidi Grace’s Day Dream Believer . . . also a favorite of mine with it’s browns and oranges.  This layout is about our (Holly, Stephenie, May and I) first trip to Madison, Wisconsin . . . Fiskars Headquarters when we received our engraved Titanium scissors.  The experience was pure bliss.

I’ll be sharing some more here in the future.  I’d love to know what you’ve been working on . . . have you posted in the gallery recently?  Are you scrapping a certain event?  Working on a specific album?  Working on a project? 

I know one thing you could probably use while working on any project . . . some adhesive.  I’ll pick five random winners and send you some of my very favorite adhesive and maybe some foam dots too.  Each time I use it in a class . . . people want to purchase it.  So comment here and I’ll share some adhesive with five random winners.

    Great layouts, Cheryl! I just finished 3 layouts, 2 altered projects and a couple of cards.

  5. Shelly says:

    Cheryl Love the browns and Oranges, and the Big beautiful smile that lights the page up. I can feel your excitement! I was trying to figure out how not to make just any ole Chuck E Cheese Lo, thanks for the new ideas. I am doing a Circle Journal with some other Ladies and I finished my pages for that and am working on pages of the kids that I keep for their parents for the end of school. Then who could not use more adhesive, I seem to go through so much of it.(LOL)

  6. Cheryl says:

    Hi Cheryl,
    I love your layouts and I am off to start working on an album or 2 or 3.
    I am working on an album with my puppy pics. Well she really isn’t a ‘pup’ anymore but she will always be my baby. We get the liter together every year for their birthday then I make each person a small album. It is a nice way to watch the liter grow up.
    Hope your weekend is wonderful!!
    Cheryl

  26. BethW #2906 says:

    I’m working on one about my favorite book and one about facing my fears-which will blow everybody’s socks off if I get it done.

  27. Sharon#2472 says:

  33. Paula #2796 says:

    Those LO’s are great!! I just returned from a crop and have officially finished our 2006 family book. I got a great start on 2007 and will post some LO’s in the gallery tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for the opp to win the BEST adhesive ever!! :)

  34. Suzie #1962 says:

    I was auctioned off at a fundraiser 8 months ago to do a 12×12 20-page scrapbook for someone. The person that purchased me is a dear friend and I get to do her grandson’s pictures (from age 1 minute old to 1 yr old). A year ago I got to do her granddaughter’s (from the same ages) What is so special and difficult about this is my friend’s husband (the kids’ grandpa) passed away 6 months ago, so I’m doing some very heartfelt and tough pictures taken of him and his grandkids for his wife. She doesn’t know I have all the pics I do. I feel honored to do this and can’t wait to see her face when I get finished.

  35. Jennytitus says:

    I just did an EXPLODING BOX for my grandmas 80th birthday that is coming up. Here is a link to my blog and it has instructions for the box.

  36. jen #1831 says:

    LOVE your bliss layout! I might have to scraplift it … it’s beautiful.

    I’ve just been working on various lil’ projects - a couple circle journals, ATCs, swaps. Fun fun!

  37. Christine C #2264 says:

    Great layouts, love the fact that you got titanium scissors (if I had those they would be framed and never used lol).
    I don’t work on particular themes, I just pic some photos that take my fancy and go for it. Perhaps that is why I have not done my wedding album (from 9 years ago). Perhaps I should change the way I work ummm…

  38. Seema says:

    I would love some adhesive! I’ve been on the hunt for the Fiskars ones… it’s really hard to find but in scrapbook stores. it would be cool if Joanns or michaels carried it so we can use the coupons. Anways, your layouts are really cute!

  39. Karee Sue #3609 says:

    great LO’s
    u right adhesive is always welcome, I’m making cards right now and sure need alot.

  40. Kerri fiskateer #1017 says:

    those are some awesome LO’s !well done ! adhesive is a great thing around here, i think all of us can never have toooo much. but i am currently working on thank you cards,birthday cards & just random LO’s of my kids :) daydream believer, how great :)

  41. Kim #669 says:

    I bet I know which adhesive is your favorite– the little orange Fiskars one that’s disposable. One of my favs as well.

    Nice job on the LO’s. I just bought an overlay–Not sure if I’ll be able to do it justice, but wanted to try LOL

  42. Colleen #2970 says:

    nice layouts. I always love seeing what others do. I am working on getting my oldest daughter’s album caught up. I am only about 4 years behind. Hoping for lots of spare time this summer.

  43. Kimberlee says:

    great LOs… I esp. love the first one… think I might scraplift it today… :)

  44. Maursie says:

    Great layouts again Cheryl. I wish we had a Chuck E Cheese here!!!
    Currently I am trying to do all the sketches I have not completed from the Fiskars blog - a big job but I am getting there.
    Take care
    Cheers
    Maursie xoxo

  45. doverdi says:

    Great layouts Cheryl! I’m putting the finishing touches on a Traditions mini album that I’ve done for May’s challenge. I’ve also got a few May b’day cards to make too! lol

  46. Louise #3903 says:

    I posted a layout of my grandaughter last week & her obsession with golf balls. My next project is our recent trip to New Mexico so my dh could bowl in the Nationals there. It has been tough finding stuff to do with bowling but I recently found some paper & bought some rubber stamps online with bowling balls. Its’ funny that no matter what layout I am working on it brings back all the memories of that day or time & it is such a good feeling!

  47. cherylp #459 says:

    My current project involves a major cleaning out of the stash I cleaned out two years ago and downsizing it into a smaller scrapbook armoire from part of our office area. I feel like i will scrap more if I am closer to my family and not tucked away upstairs, so its been a good way to also get rid of a lot of stuff I havent used and find some things i forgot about! And once i finish that, I am starting a few pages about our newest addition to the family, our second pug, Marley.

  48. Danielle says:

    You layouts are beautiful! I am all the time running out of adhesives! That is the number 1 reason I have to run to LSS during a crop. I think I need to take out some stock in adhesive LOL :)
    Thanks for the chance to win some adhesive!

  49. fran heupel says:

    Beautiful job on the layouts.

  59. kim54650 says:

  60. Bonnie says:

    wonderful layouts, Cheryl!!! I’m currently helping my DD finish 3 - 8 x 8 albums for friends. I’m also scrapping 12 x 12 layouts for DD’s album & I have a couple of 8 x 8 albums to do as gifts!!! So much to do, so little time!!!

  61. Carol (ScrapMomOf2) says:

    My girls and I will work on their autograph books for school. They get yearbooks every year, but there isn’t a lot of space for autographs, and sometimes kids can be messy, use marker, scribble, etc., that I don’t really like them getting signatures in these books (well, not at this age 10 and 12). So, we make CUTE autograph books instead! Now that I have my Bind It All, they have the coolest books around! I’ll post them when we’re done!!

    That photo of you with your scissors is just fantastic! The look on your face IS bliss! I love it!

  62. Sarah L says:

    I am working on some Layouts from my husband and son fishing. They are the perfect kickoff to “Spring Scrapbooking!!’
    Sarah L #1097

  63. Michelle #2068 says:

    Great Layouts! I don’t think a girl could have too much adhesive.

  64. Linda A. #179 says:

    I’m taking a break from my catalog assignments this afternoon and am playing with some “Holey Cardstock” and some cute photos of my dd. I found a swirly pattern in a shade of blue that perfectly matches her outfit! :)

    I just made an adhesive run yesterday - I was completely out of foam dots, and had about one crank left on my Xyron. I go through soooo much adhesive, especially when I’m working on show projects!

  65. Trish #2702 says:

    Needlless to say, I sure used A LOT of adhesive this weekend. I sure would like the chance to replenish my stock. Thanks Cheryl for thinking of all of us.

  80. Cindy # 2737 says:

    Hmmm…no, actually I haven’t posted in the gallery in a while (best go do that, hadn’t I ?!).

    I have made a sliding tag and a baggie for my workshop next weekend (both using Cloud 9 products) and a ‘Christmas Companion’, also using Cloud 9 paper.

    My fave adhesives are : Mono Tombo Multi glue, Sellotape Sticky Dots and double-sided tape.

  88. Jennifer Muller says:

    great layouts! i haven’t been scrapping the last couple of days…because i was busy having a baby! my second daughter arrived on saturday!

  89. Veronica says:

    I started a mini album for May’s spring tradition challenge on Friday and finished it yesterday! I’m really proud of it and I can’t believe it was completed that quickly.
    Today I attended a class where we made some cute cards and a cute little decorated tile thing I’m not quite sure what to do with. :) I’m thinking I might be able to rig a hanging device of some kind.
    This evening, I made a bunch of ATC’s from the leftover scraps from the album I finished yesterday. Then tomorrow, I’m helping a friend make bags for her bird show judges, and if we finish early, we’re working on our dog albums. Tuesday, provided my back holds out, I’m going to a friend’s to make cards for the swap here. That’s far enough in the future for now, but as you can see I’m on a bit of a roll. :) And I could suuuuuuure use some adhesive. ;)

  90. Sweepnut #3618 says:

    My son will be graduating from H.S. and, for his graduation party, I just finished making a tri-fold board of his life. He will be so surprised :-)
