Brown bag special the stampers edition

Our 14 yr old was invited to a birthday party for one of our neighbors sons. My husband took him yesterday to get a gift but forgot a gift bag. No big deal lets just wait until Mom is on her way back from out if town early in the morning the day of the party before stores are open and ask her to bring one home.The only place to go get a gift bag that time of morning was my not so favorite store Walmart.I refused to drag a already mad cause I am up so early spoiled 11 yr old into to the store for a gift bag. So I am thinking there has to be a way to make something out of what we have at home. Here is what Silas and I can up with. The ever so handy brown lunch bag, Stamps, paper, scissors,punches and glue.

Superbowl Sunday I posted the picture below on social media and said the finished product can be seen later on my blog, Today is the day. Saturday night my 11yr old daughter and I finished the page. Everything is Stampin' Up but the dolls they are from  Juile Nutting also called Prima Dolls. If you now about Stampin' Up! most people think about cards and kits when you here that name, because of the wide variety of products they can be used for all your creative outlets. I am becoming a fan of mixed media, This page is not full of details but it sure did create a lot of fun moments and memories for my daughter and I. It was her idea to have the butterflies trail like that and I love it! Hope you like it!

In the butterfly I inserted a photo of my and my husband because.....September was when I meet the man that would change my life. We got married in MAY and our theme was "Celebration of Love". I am Thankful that many years later we are still Celebrating.

My name is Shavon "Scrappinvon" DT Lead. I am so excited to be in the crafting company of such talented ladies. . I am married with 3 kids 2 young men and a little lady 15, 11 and 9. I love spending time with them exploring the great outdoors, discovering the towns and states around us and watching our kids as the find themselves through all their extra-curricular activities. The best part of it all is making scrapbook albums to persevere those moments. I have been crafting for 2 yrs and have jumped in hands 1^st. I decided I was ready and have been running with scissors ever since. We are to create a ATC showing who I am. A new project and some of my favorites. 

We has to make a ATC showing who we are.  I love flowers(can't grow one) and butterflies. They come in many forms and colors. Just like a creative canvas when crafting 

What is your scrapbook "kryptonite"? (What style/color/etc. will people never see on your creations because you cannot deal with it???)  I am going to say sewing, I hate to sew and can not see myself using sewing on a layout or card. I will never use a Digi or stamp of a person face without facial features  (the eyes,mouth,etc.)
 A face with no character is so weird to me.

This is card was  made at TaDa! Tuesday. The best night of the week when I get together with my fellow SU Demos.

       What do you listen to or watch while your scrap and WHY?  I listen to autobooks because it gives me the chance to combine my 2 favorite hobbies and puts me in the zone.   

My 1st favorite  is  this layout  of my husband and son sliding into a waterfall.  We had a great time hiking to different waterfalls 

       How do you jump start your creativity when you find that it is missing?   I use social media,you tube,pintrest, Facebook and stampin' connection.

My next favorite is this card made with MDS 2

 At what time of day are you most creative, or do you prefer to create? When ever I have free time,but I craft best at night.

My last favorite is my 1st male card

       What is your favorite technique(s) to use right now and why? What are some tried and true techniques you love to use? My two favorite techniques are inking and embossing. I like to ink the embossing folder before adding the paper. 



I hope you enjoyed learning about me as much as I did? Up next is the Purple Queen  Meka Matthews you will see what I mean.



HAPPY HOPPING!!!
