So The 12th has come & gone again!
Can you believe it? This year is just flying on by! Ella pubs has a great prize this month for someone who joins their take 12 challenge. Of course the real prize will be the wonderful album at the end of the year. So if you haven't seen it you might want to check it out. http://www.ellapublishing.com/blog/elizabeth-dillow/monday-monday-monday
So here is both sides of my take 12 layout :
I saw many layouts on the Flickr group that detailed their life right now or even that day, and it inspired me to go back & be more detailed in my journaling. The close up shows the Original journaling & I know the picture is too small here is what it says:
Ryan stayed home sick today. His rash has almost cleared up, but he’s been running a low grade fever since Saturday evening. He didn’t take his medicine, so he drove me crazy all afternoon,
Pat came to clean our house today! I am so glad I have help. My house looks about a hundred times better than it used to, because I am no longer desperately overwhelmed. So project organization continues.
Spring is coming! My crocus are blooming & the Daffodills are starting to come up. I may even need to water the grass soon. Also, when I picked up the mail, a birdie was singing to me!
Hobbes has gotten into my pajama drawer again. I don’t know why, but he likes to pull a corner of it open, dig out some stuff & then climb inside!
I’ve been rereading the little house books. I had forgotten how much I loved them.
Ryan was really happy that I made ravioli for supper.
Also tried so hard but could not find an iPad case that I liked, so I got a clear one & decorated it myself.
Some of these pictures are pretty little on the page so I wanted to share some bigger versions of a couple.

Cuttlebug tutorial
I just wrote this tutorial for the blog A Crafting Start Let me know what you think!
Do you ever: Want to make flowers, butterflies, titles &/or tags that perfectly match your layout? Want to be thrifty & make beautiful embellishments from your leftover scraps? Want to never worry about running out of the letter E again? Then the Cuttlebug just might be the tool for you.
What is the Cuttlebug? It is a personal Die Cutter & Embosser. Huh? Put simply the Cuttlebug uses "dies" to cut out shapes and "folders" to emboss. Here is a sample of things I made using the Cuttlebug in less than an hour (& I stopped to take lots of pictures for this tutorial). The Cuttlebug at your local store may or may not look exactly like this:
(ProvoCraft, who makes the Cuttlebug recently changed the design). But it doesn't matter if it doesn't look the same, it will still work the same way. the dies & Embossing folders can come in many shapes & sizes. In fact the Cuttlebug is made to work with dies & folders of other brands as well. So the possibilities are endless. Here are a few that will work with it:
Weighing about 7 pounds and with a handle on top, It is made to be portable so you can take it when you go to a crop. And Since it folds up it is pretty easy to store. Mine fits in a small shelf next to my scrap space. See:
As you can see, the Cuttlebug is one of my favorite tools. If you've never used a diecutter it might look intimidating. The good news is...It's very simple, if you remember a few things:
1) Make sure you are on a stable work surface. If one isn't easily available, I often use the floor. The Bottom is designed to grip the work surface when you open it up, so it won't slip around when you are turning the handle, But if your work surface is moving around, that won't do you any good.
2) You can cut many different materials, paper, felt, vinyl, fabric, chipboard, even cork, but don't try to cut anything thicker than 1/8 inch. Not only do you risk bad cuts, but it can void the warranty. Also it must be no more than 6 inches wide, or it won't fit.
(Length doesn't matter it can trail off the edge as long as you want. I run 12" strips through mine all the time)
3) Make sure you use the right sized parts in your "sandwich", & in the right order:
The Cuttlebug comes with 1 spacer (A) and 2 cutting pads (B) There is also a Thin Die Adapter (C), which doesn't come with the Cuttlebug, but is designed for use with other companies dies. You will always need at least 2 of these & I've found most of the time I use A & both B's.
If the sandwich is too thin, it won't cut and if it's too thick, the cutting pad can break, so don't force it. Here's how you can tell when you turn the handle:
If it turns very easily it's probably too thin.
If it creaks loudly &/or is very difficult to turn, it's too thick.
Either way simply adjust which layers you're using.
Here is an example of a sandwich:
As you can see, A is on the bottom. (Unless you have a very thick die & don't use A, it is Always on the bottom) B is the cutting surface, so it comes next, followed by the paper (or whatever material you are cutting), and then the die with the cutting side (Usually there is foam covering the blade on this side) down. Then for this one the dies are thin so C is on top. (When using dies that are made for the Cuttlebug & most embossing folders you would use the other B here Always make sure you have one of these on top.).
Then you just put your "Sandwich into the Cuttlebug like this:
and turn the handle until it comes out the other side.
It doesn't matter which side you put it in, so both lefties & righties can both use this machine with no problem.
So when it comes out you take apart the sandwich & this is what you find:
4) When embossing, make sure the paper is inside the folder & lined up where you want the pattern to be. (For large background embosses this isn't important, 
but for our example it is, as you can see: If it isn't lined up, you can end up with only part of the butterfly embossed. It's also important to make sure you have the butterfly right side up. (Especially if your paper is double sided, or has a "wrong side" for flat, non-textured card stock, it doesn't matter) the side you want embossed should face the "Sticking out side", not the "Sunken in side" or you will have Debossed, instead of Embossed. In other words the area that is raised on the folder will press into the paper so that it makes a bump. The mostly sticking out side has grooves where the bumps from the sunken in side fit and press the design out (aka Embossing). So here is our sandwich with the butterfly in the middle:
And after running it through the machine we have a beautifully embossed butterfly.
So that is the Cuttlebug! A simple user friendly tool. I've included a links to some more information, including Provocraft's downloadable Cuttlebug manual (PDF). & This link has some information that i found very helpful:

LOAD Blog Hop
Welcome to my blog! If you're following the hop, you should have come from Pam
(If not don't worry the last one links back to the first one in a big circle so even if you start here you can still see us all).
I am Katrina, also known as kskreations on Flickr which is short for my little crafty business Katrina's Kreations. I am a mostly SAHM of one, my DS Ryan, who was just reading this & thought I nicknamed him after his Nintendo ;). I feel like I've been scrapping my whole life. I did some scrappy things with magazine pictures & cutouts of certain hearthrobs when I was a young teenager (can you remember NKOTB?). In 1994 I did a whole album from a vacation I took-in an old "magnetic" album with only photos and ephemera I collected on the trip (I haven't talked myself into taking it apart, but maybe I'll just scan the pages so when it falls apart, I'll have the scans). I started doing what we think of as scrapbooking when I did an album for my parents 30th Anniversary in 2001. I was totally hooked despite my first major scrap related injury (it involved a craft knife & let's just say my thumbprint is very identifiable to this day), but didn't do much more until after Ryan was born in 2002. I've never stopped since!
If you've never tried LOAD I highly recommend it! (Just click the blinkie on the top left or go to http://www.layoutaday.com/212pp ) My first LOAD was October of 2010. I was so inspired that I joined ScrapHappy before it was over & I haven't missed one since. In fact last year I did the MotherLOAD marathon in September & then an informal ScrapHappy LOAD in October (That's 56 layouts total).
LOAD is so inspiring Lain has worked so hard to give us a great prompt each day...and then she doesn't even mind if you ignore it, as long you post a layout each day. Many of my very favorite layouts were made during a LOAD. They are not always the most beautiful or complex, but the tell important stories. Here are some examples:
Layouts about my childhood & my Mom are fun to make (& share) and meaningful too.
Both of the above layouts are about my husband. since my son was an infant when he died in April of 2003, it is my job to enrich his memory. The only way he will know his father is through those who remember him. It's not something I scrap about constantly but I do at least one every LOAD-it's like Therapy for me.
Layouts that preserve my observations and my son's memories will be even more appreciated as he grows. And maybe his future children will enjoy learning about their Dad as a child.
Here is the wrapup page from last February:
Here is an excerpt from a previous blog post about LOAD (pictures were added for your enjoyment this time):
My Scraproom is my favorite place in my house, except that it usually looks like a paper truck exploded, so I am going to work on cleaning it up & organizing before LOAD starts too. (Jan 2012-I always say that & I always work to get it somewhat organized, but by the end of LOAD-an even bigger paper truck is dumped in there-along with plenty of glitter & mostly/partly used sticker (mostly alphabets) sheets. The really embarrassing thing is i have 3 good sized trash containers in there & I use them... So where does all this stuff come from?)
The white 12" file drawers have some old page kits (remember ScrapJammies?) and any "themed" papers that wouldn't be used for anything other than that theme (I mean if you want to use paper with "Orthodontist" and pictures of teeth all over it to showcase your niece's wedding...that's up to you. Really I mean it, if anyone wants the orthodontist paper let me know...I'll be happy to mail it within the US). So now I'm thinking Why do I have some of this stuff? Maybe I'll use it someday? Maybe there really was a rogue Craft Store truck in here...Hmmm.
If you are standing in the middle of the room & turn around you see the above left picture (BTW these are "photomerges from Adobe Photoshop Elements cool right). The counter is my work area. I love having all my prettiest & most used supplies within easy reach. & I think it's pretty too. (I mean except for the mess of course). I recently took out the little kid's table & phone stand & put a big 5x6" table there with a big person chair. So If someone else wants to scrap with me, I actually have room for that! Yay! (Now whether or not the table is full of stuff so there's no room to work... I'm working on that...really!)
So I know that was crazy long but i hope you enjoyed it and as a reward for bearing with all my ramblings...I'm going to share some of my wonderfulstuff stash! Leave me a comment & I'll randomly pick someone to share with...It's great stuff really, I promise I won't share anything I wouldn't use myself!
If you are interested in some of the places where I get ideas for my LOs (besides from ScrapHappy) check out this earlier blog post: journaling & inspiration made easy.
Your next stop is: Cate.
Now just in case anyone gets lost along the way here is the whole lineup:
Enjoy the rest of the hop and enjoy LOAD. I look forward to seeing all your wonderful pages. As well as hearing all the wonderful comments. You are all so encouraging I just love it. Thank you so much! While I'm at it, Thank you Margie for organizing the hop. And of course, THANK YOU Lain for the inspiring prompts & for putting us all together in this wonderful community!!!

| Layouts like this one are like a pat on the back as well as motivation to do it again. |
Here is an excerpt from a previous blog post about LOAD (pictures were added for your enjoyment this time):
Now I don't usually do a whole lot of prep. I have a gazillion photos in boxes in my studio or in my PSE Organizer (Or both sometimes) so I often just let the prompt inspire which page I do that day, but I wouldn't be able to do that if my photos weren't organized. I haven't taken LOM, (but I do have the book Photo Freedom) so most of my photos are still stored chronologically.
I have a big 12x12 album that all my LOAD LO's go in, then eventually I will move them to the individual albums they belong in. I have several that are as follows: Ryan's Baby Album (separate from the baby book but you knew that already right), Then 2 more Ryan Albums (one is full), which have pages from various ages. An Album about my husband & my memories of him. I have an all about me album which has a surprisingly large number of pages. I have a travel album, a disney album, and a misc for those pages that don't fit anywhere else, & a couple albums with no particular theme from when I first started scrapbooking.
My Scraproom is my favorite place in my house, except that it usually looks like a paper truck exploded, so I am going to work on cleaning it up & organizing before LOAD starts too. (Jan 2012-I always say that & I always work to get it somewhat organized, but by the end of LOAD-an even bigger paper truck is dumped in there-along with plenty of glitter & mostly/partly used sticker (mostly alphabets) sheets. The really embarrassing thing is i have 3 good sized trash containers in there & I use them... So where does all this stuff come from?) My supplies are mostly sorted by color. I do have a whole bunch of binders with themed embellies, stickers etc. ( The top row of binders is about 1/2 clear stamps) \I always make it my goal to use my stash & not buy anything new for LOAD. It doesn't always happen, but I certainly have enough in my stash to keep me busy for a couple of years...even if LOAD was every month.
(Back to 2012:)
| I can hear you asking...(OK maybe not, but I'm going to tell you anyway LOL) Yes that is a clear shoe holder full of rubber stamps (actually it's 2) on the back of the door (I have another on the other side, but it's not nearly as full) & beside it is my huge rack of paper, from floor to ceiling- solids on one side & patterns on the other. |

January Take Twelve
So I've started the Take 12 Challenge from Ella Publishing which means that I will take (at least) 12 photos on the 12th of each month this year...Okay I can't just take 12 photos, so I narrowed them down to these 12 from the more than 60 that I took.
Come join us even if you didn't take 12 that day, you can take them on a different day or even throughout the month. Enjoy!

Just for fun
So I am thinking about doing a scrapbook page about all my favorite shows & this right here is on the top. My biggest problem is that currently, scrapbook pages can't play video;) so enjoy the opener of my favorite Psych episode ever (we quote from this one all the time-almost like Shawn & Gus).
That gave me the idea to do a page about all the quotes we use all the time so here it is:
Psych Bollywood Theme Song from Greg Cooper on Vimeo.

Hi...So we have a new challenge blog that I am thrilled to be a part of. It's called a Crafting Start . It's all about the basics. So if you've never paper crafted but would like to, or just need some help with new techniques...this is the place to be! We will have all kinds of tutorials & ideas. This weeks challenge is digi stamps and weve got a great place to get them- Freedigitalstamps.blogspot.com and since they're free...Well who can resist that? Not me!!! So I Picked this adorable owl made by Dawn.
Cute right? Here's a close up of an owl I colored:
And this is my card:
Wait for it....
Looks complicated right! Not suitable for a beginner you think... well you'd be Wrong! It's super easy! I'm working on a tutorial & hopefully I'll be posting it soon.
Bye for now!
