Creative Team | Meet the Team: Marti

Hi, I’m Marti! I am a happy wife and mom of 4 (Marc 26, Sean 25, and Brendan 11 – and a girl, Katie 6). I also became a Grammy last September to my beautiful grandson, Landry. I am blessed to be a SAHM and I am grateful to spend my days caring for our family. Scrapbooking became my passion 14 years ago when I moved to Cheyenne and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love to read, quilt, bake, and have recently taken up golf again after a 13 year layoff. 

• I always…Iron. It is a sickness, I know. I iron almost everything and my friends tease me about it constantly.

• I sometimes…Watch movies, but usually not. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like them very much.

• I never…Have been on a trip with my husband sans children. We took my two oldest with us on our honeymoon to Maui (they were 9 and 10). This year, for our 17^th wedding anniversary, we are going to remedy that. I cannot wait.

Marti is letting us have a peek into her scrapbook room which she cleaned up especially for us :) 

Marti also has a blog where she shares her day to day life happenings. 

 

Where some see a weed...she sees a wish by Marti Cobb

Products Used: Die Cut: Silhouette “Embellishment”; Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angels “Sugar Maple”; Alphas – AC Thickers; Ormolu products used: “This Is” Storytellers, Treehugger Flappers, GO Dots & Spots

 

I saw this saying on a Pinterest board and just knew I had to use it as a title. My daughter, Katie, cannot walk by a dandelion without picking it and blowing the fuzz off. We recently took a mini-vacation to Steamboat Springs, CO and, once again, she found a dandelion and began blowing on it. Luckily I had my camera handy so I could capture it (even if it was from behind).

 

I began by misting my kraft cardstock lightly.

I cut three “Embellishment” die cuts with my Silhouette, then layered them and bent some of the stems up to give it some volume and texture.

I stitched the Treehugger flapper onto the This Is Storyteller, then adhered the Happy Go Lucky Dots & Spots with some foam adhesive.

 

My favorite Ormolu product is the Scripture Tags. They are so versatile! You can use them to make a bookmark, a quick card, or as an accent on a LO. The colors are beautiful, as well.

GIVEAWAY: Marti is having a giveaway on her blog for a set of scripture tags- so stop by and leave a comment. 

Also, the scripture tags will be on sale through the end of August.
