Hello

Good Morning...Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! We are suppose to have 105 degree weather today, so I plan to stay indoors and craft. I'm playing along with Sketches in Thyme #83...their first challange for July. I'm not sure if they are giving away a prize this time, but I know by playing along you'll have a chance to be a Maven(guest designer) in September. I created this layout of my niece. She is such an angel and everyone is always telling her mom that she looks like me!

Here is the sketch...


Here is my layout...

Paperline: Colorbok Rosewood

Colorbok Specialty Pack mask "Neutral"

Spellbinders Die: Lacey Circles

Folkart: Metallic Bright Red
Martha Stewart punch: Scalloped Edge

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Forever Friends

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
     Once Upon A Sketch challenge theme for the month of July is friend. I chose to create a layout of me and hubby the night he proposed. That was one of the best days ever! The prior month we found out we were expecting!

Here is the sketch...



I love love love my final product...

Paperline: Colorbok "Rosewood"

Spellbinders Dies: "Fancy Tags"

Sizzix Dies: "Flourishes"

Studio 18: Chipboard Shape

I also used lace, pearl trim, store bought flowers, and handmade flowers, and fussy cut some stamp images from the collection.

I have hidden journaling on the back that reads "On April 29, 2009 you asked me to be your lover and friend forever..."

Hope you enjoy!

Sketches in Thyme #81Challenge: Mickey's Helper

Hi bloggers!
    How is everyone doing! I think it's been a week or a little over a week since I made my last post. We have had some family in town and it's been crazy busy and fun here! I have had no time to scrapbook or craft anything but now the house is back to normal and I'm back creating!! I was going to enter the Sketches in Thyme #81 challenge but I was too late. Here is the sketch...



Here is my layout...

I used the Ek Success Mickey Disney paperline and stickers, some Recollections single sheets from Michaels, buttons, ric rac ribbon, handmade rossette flowers, and I splashed some kelly green folk art paint in the corners.

Hope this gives you inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!!

Congratulations & Best Wishes Card

Hi bloggers,
   Did everyone that celebrates the 4th of July enjoy their day? I have a quick card to share today. My hubby asked to make a card for his boss that will be leaving their team soon...and this is what I came up with. I made two cards because my husband said the first card I made was too manly and it kinda looked liked a funeral card...can you believe that-a too manly card...lol!

Birthday Mini Album

Hello Everyone!
   Hope everyones' weekend was enjoyable. We attended our church's anniversary picnic at this amazing ranch, here in Texas! Even though the heat was scorching, we had an awesome time. Glad to be back to share another project with you guys! I received my long awaited pics in the mail...and I have had such a fun time creating this mini album. It took me about a week to complete it and I think I'm getting so much better...

My son had a mickey themed birthday party, so I chose the Eksuccess Disney paperline. 

The chipboard album is by Colorbok. I used tons of different products on the mini such as Recollections card stock, Spellbinders Lacey Circles Die, Ek success stickers.

 I used a host of Studio G products such as flowers, chipboard letters and phrases, buttons, and bling.

I also used an Ek success Mickey punch, embroidery floss, and ribbon.

Hope you enjoy my mini album! Feel free to comment!

xoxo
