I've been staying on top of housework and got behind on uploading my stuff. I have a few more pages that need journaling that I have been putting off for the last few days. I know what I want to say it, I'm just being lazy about setting up the printer.

H. favourite ride at Disney - the tram from the parking lot. Prima "dude collection" paper, felt ribbon & thickers.

A sketch lift from Memory Makers, used a piece of fabric (red strip), punched a row scallops, cut a Jenni Bowlin label in half and actually sewed the buttons on to the page. Nico had this serious look for a good 4 months (5-9ish month old), he barely cracked a smile. Now he's all smiles, no worries at all.


Finally getting around to make some magnets using Maya Road chipboard frames painted with Crackle paint. I love those CI felt words from the Creative Cafe, they are lots of fun to play with.

Fancy Pant boy line (?) & felt corner.

Sassafras Lass paper, Pink Paislee sticker letters, Basic Grey rub-on.

Finally some pages

Finally did a single page with a photo that Joe took of me and the boys at Epcot. Joe's brother was married at the Disney chapel during Memorial weekend. Nico was 11 days old & H. was almost 2 years old. I really do not remember much from that weekend other than a fire alarm at the hotel around 3am.

Love the new SEI chickadoo line, Fancy Pant felt, Maya Road chipboard, Pink Paislee sticker letters.

Mr. Nico trying cheerios for the first time, the look on his face says "poison!" Basic Grey pat. paper, AC thickers and a felt flower.

Again another page of Nico, first time sitting up by himself. He was really proud of his achievement. TLC papers, AC thickers,
I'm waiting on an order of 300+ prints of the boys & Disney trips. I do have a few more layouts completed but I'm holding on to them until tomorrow. 8^)

Hey there

Okay finally getting back on to the computer and trying to figure out where I left off. So much stuff has been going on the last two weeks. Spring break, train trip, dentist appointments & school paperwork/meetings about H.

I did 6 layouts during the St. augustine train trip and did a few more yesterday (tues) in between meetings.


Scrappy Girl Design April Kit - Crate Papers pieces.

I'm back

I'm getting back into the routine of being home and trying to scrap but its not work.

I know I did something...

H. knocked my laptop onto the floor friday - busted the back panel off and the lcd screen blinks in and out, then the network went down. So that's what has been going on since Friday morning.

I went with Jen over the Doodle early Sat. morning, she had a private party to teach. I went to just play but ended up being put to work. I really didn't mind since I got to see lots more stuff that was in boxes that are waiting for floor space.

I did pick up some Basic Grey dino stuff, the "clown" line minus the weird clown - the paper is really cute and perfect for birthday pages & toys. Love the trike stuff especially. Also Daisy D's wonderline & best friends diecuts and the some of that funky paper that matches. Then I hit the Fancy Pants racks - About a boy papers & rub-ons, couldn't pass up those cool transparencies either. I also finally picked up the FP 12x12 set 'Fresh Mod' stamps, been looking at them for 6months. It has the cute froggy & those cool circle group, can't wait to play with them.

Now I'm off for a 4 almost 5 days at Disney, so i'll be out of contact with the internet & my email. Just being w/o a computer for a 2 days about did me in.

Nick & the obnoxious toy

Did 2 pages - nick and his favourite Christmas toy - "dance monster". That's what he calls the singing & dancing toy. He played with all day Christmas morning.
Another one of nick with his mini wine glass, he loves wine spritzers. Hanging out at the table schmoozing with grandma (getting snockered).

Making Memories papers, Maya Road bird that i painted with red crackle paint, Maya Road ribbon, CI ribbon, felt flower.

Little project

Here's a little project I'm working on for a class in April - its UTEE, Crackle paint, Stickles, regular paint & masking.

It's a 4x4 canvas made like a book.

Oye

Totally forgot to blog the last few days. Spent most 3 hrs at the dr. office yesterday, why is there such a long wait. I like the office staff & drs. but I'm so ready to find another office because of the dang wait. And why do I feel like crap after being at the drs? Seriously I felt like I was coming down with the flu but I knew it was just from being at the doctors. Must be all the poking around on my sinuses, in the ears & nose that causes a rush of congestion from my head and into my gut.

I did a few projects & one layout today using the SGD kit. I stamped the background with green ink for some decoration.

Busy

I had a pile of projects that were waiting on that last final touch, so I dug in and finished them.

Jenni Bowlin bracket chipboard piece that I layer on top of KI Memories lace apple paper & Scenic Route graph paper. The chipboard letters are by CI that I painted with Crackle paint and topped with Glossy Accents.

A page of KI Memories lace number papers for H's 4th birthday.

Finally figured out what I wanted to do to balance this page - moved the title under the photo & added the journaling to the scallop.

Beach page using the new Grafton line from Scenic Route - Love it! I cut out some waves for a border and added Stickles to them.

Faith card

A lift from JB's site, I did this for the Doodle. I picked up a bunch of vintage ribbons the other day - Making Memories & Prima.

I spritz the off-white ric-rac with some ink water, I liked the backside of the ribbon where the ink soaked through. I also been having lots of fun making the paper flowers, been using them all over the JB paper layouts.

It's Tuesday??

Oye, where did the weekend go? I taught a class at the store on Sat. (family tree) and then Sunday was Easter so I guess that's what happened to the weekend.

I did do some scrapping the last few days but big camera battery finally died and I never got around to ordering another back up after the backup battery died a few months back. I did order a new one yesterday hopefully it will be here in a few days. Joe hid the sony camera somewhere and I still haven't found it.


Here's a sneak peak of the Scrappy Girl project I did, check out the site for more info on how to get this cute Jenni Bowlin papers/stickers project.

Scrappy Girl Kit projects

Couple of projects using the Scrappy Girl Design kit.

Jenni Bowlin papers - I cut out some flowers and added stickles for outline.

I immediately saw a house when I picked up the triangle shaped chipboard. I made a chipboard 'leg' so the house can stand up like a frame. I used orange Chalk ink as the base and covered it with Tim holtz crackle paint - frayed burlap (it chipped off in spots).

I stitched the bird onto a piece of cardstock for stability. Covered a chipboard heart with pattern paper & outlined the pattern with stickles.

This was fun to do, I kept getting interrupted and I couldn't spell a few of the countries correctly but I knew them.

Some stuff

I finally got around to making an Easter banner for meself. I used all QK dies and it took less than an hour. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, its about 2 feet long. Excuse the cr@ppy photo, its 10pm and the lighting is horrible in my room.
Another page using Jenni Bowlin stuff, its missing something but I can't put my finger on it yet. Tomorrow I'll look at in the daylight and work on it some more. Maybe journaling strips, the page is leaning to the left.

Some jenni bowlin

I got my hands on some Jenni Bowlin when I was at the store on Saturday, by the end of the day the JB display was wiped out. It was all those treasure hunters! Good thing I spotted it when I got there in the morning.

I cut some circles out of the paper & added felt flower for dimension. Those cute tickets are perfect for dates. I also used the Fiskar scallop punch to make a strip of black scallops with the horizontal strips at the top.

I have another layout almost completed, I need to print a picture. I'm tired and H has finally passed out in my bed, just need to get the "baby" down for the night.

One card

One little card from scraps of ribbons & some DSD papers. Those birds are so much fun to play with.

Not much happening

I have a cold and a migraine going on so I'm down for the next few days. I have a few projects that are due by mid week and I do not have time to be sick. I've finally got out of bed at 1pm and had a coke hoping it would help the migraine meds kick in. The banging has simmered down and I can see out of both eyes now.

I'll have some new projects & layouts up in a few days.
