This is a quick little photo for my new friends over at the Jessica Sprague playground. Some of you were asking about my username, fivesourlimit....these 3 would be the reason 5's our limit! :)

Got Valentine's?

We're just finishing up some Valentine's for Holly's class tomorrow. I couldn't resist putting these together after I saw the homemade play doh idea in Family Fun (and with a little help from my friends perfecting homemade playdoh).
1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. water
2 tbsp. oil
food coloring or kool aid

I boiled the water, then added the oil to water. I had all my dry ingredients mixed together and poured boiling water and oil over top and then mixed well. To get the pink play doh color I used two packages of pink lemonade kool aid. For the red we added lots of red food coloring to the water and oil before mixing it with the dry ingredients.
Then we rolled it out and used cookie cutters to get the heart shape. The celophane bags are from Michaels and the bag toppers I made up in Photoshop. The ribbon is from my local scrapbooking store (it's American Crafts brand).

Assignment #4

Week 3 Assignment

If you have ever thought of taking a digital scrapbooking class you HAVE TO take this one!! I can not believe all the fun stuff!!!

My Last Layout for LOAD

This layout marks my 31st for the month of January...I did it. The Lay Out A Day challenge over at Big Picture Scrapbooking has been very fun. I am so excited, I'm getting closer to getting 2007 scrapbooked and then can get my book printed! This layout was also a Wednesday challenge for the class I'm taking with Jessica Sprague. The papers I used were from a FREE kit over at Shabby Princess called Harvest Spice.

Lesson #2

So I don't keep you waiting any longer, Traci....here's a new layout for you. And Kathy, and anyone else wondering about the mini-album, click on this link for the template download. (you'll have to scroll down until you see the mini album) Jessica published it in the November issue of Creating Keepsakes. It is a 4x6 album, using chipboard on the front and back covers and the pages are cardstock with the photos mounted on it.

30 Minute Challenge

This was my "assignment" today. I had to take a photo today and then make a layout in less than 30 minutes. So, this morning I took my photo and this afternoon while we were all laying low/napping I took 30 minutes to do this, and I actually did it under 30 minutes.

This was Thursdays mini-project. It was a template that Jessica had and we just had to download it, fill in the text, edit our photos and then assemble.

In other news, any of my local friends that want canvas, Treasury of Memories got a truckload (and I mean TRUCKLOAD)of it in and it's fairly reasonably priced (I think it's better than Michael's prices.) and for the next week you can get 1 at 40% off. I picked up a huge one, I think it's 28x48. Now to create something on it. :)
