Pemberley Workshop on the Go
Here are my pages for week 14 and 15. You can see that for week 14 I focused on just Easter-I took about 120 pictures that weekend, but there was no way to fit all of them. I used the pocket page with the most pockets and picked my favorite pictures. You can see that I cut the larger one in half to fit.
Here is a close up of the title-I used some Martha Stewart glitter and a few embellishments for the title.
I used some retired CTMH peach stamps to add a little fun to the page.
First off I want to thank Mary H. for her inspiration for this clear album. I had sooo much fun making it and I love it more than anything I have made in a long while! The album is 4" in size and CLEAR!! I cut the album using the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge. I use the Dotty for You special paper pack and the colors are perfect for my favorite Easter pictures. I bet you are wondering about the FREE part--

For this card I used an assortment of colored buttons from CTMH and Prisma Glitter, the best glitter on the market. I also used one of the new Die Cut cards and covered it with the Dotty for You special paper.(Details below)
To glitter the buttons I used liquid glue and then used my tweezers to dip the wet button in to the glitter.

Stamp Club Members, mark your calendar because you get to make this card on May 1st! But for those of you not in the club here is a little step by step of how to make this fun fringe. For this card I chose to use some vintage book print. I used 6 pieces 1 1/2" wide folded in half and then fringed. (I folded and fringed 3 layer together)
If you have some of those fancy fringe scissors this will go faster, but I don't so I just cut about 1/4" wide slits in the fold.
I attach the bottom layer (note-put a staple in the layers to hold them together) and then I add the next layer slightly higher.
Lastly, fluff with your fingers.

After Easter and the egg dying there are several carton leftover. I decided to use the new Dotty for You special paper to cover an egg crate and fill it with homemade buns! (I got the idea from Pinterest, have you been there yet? So many ideas, so little time......) You can find out all about the Dotty for You special here.
I used the Enjoy stamp set to create the band for the recipe and then I use on of the metal clips to attach to the carton with some bakers twine. I popped up the center is popped up on a wooden button.
Don't those homemade buns look yummy-here is a link from the Outdoor Kitchen on how to make your own Claire's Nettle Buns.
This is the card I sent to my team this month. Doesn't make you want to take a trip? In a camper? I love that little trailer stamp because it makes me think of my Lucy Trailer. Have you been wondering about the trailer? Well now that the weather has warmed up much more work will take place in her, in fact my sister is coming this weekend and we are going to work on some things for her!

This was the 1st book (that I remember) reading that was just letters. The whole book is a collection of letters written back and forth between several people. This is the story of Guernsey Islands after the 2nd World War, focus on the German Occupation of the Island. There are some really sad parts in the book were the English Islanders were treated badly by the Germans, things that make me very thankful for the time and place that I live. Even though there are sad parts the book has lots of happy and funny parts and ends on a great note. I would highly recommend this book, I learned somethings I didn't know about.
I am so glad April has arrived, this month I am featuring the Crusin paper pack from CTMH and it is one of my favorite packs in this catalog! For this cards I used the fun stamp Born to Ride! Now I am not a motorcycle person, but I can surly appreciate the manliness, the shinny chrome and the macho feel of hitting the rode!

Both Week 12 and 13 were pretty un-eventful..... but I did manage to get some picture of everyday things on a few days. The picture below show a Saturday night game of Skip-Bo as well as a picture of our rain gauge. Because we need rain so badly I thought it would be a good idea to use the stamp I had with the Bible verse Psalm 118:24. I stamped it right over the picture using staz-on ink.
Week 13-I choose to combine my handwriting with some type writer text.
