Dream Big Sweet Boy

I made this from Diana's gorgeous sketch.  I'm also entering it at Simon Says Anything Goes...  I thought it was somewhat fitting that I worked on some baby pictures of our son who just turned 18!!!

Justin - Senior 2011

Here's a two-page layout that has been sitting on my "work in progress" shelf for a long time. I used a lot of CTMH products on it! These are some of our nephew Justin's senior photos. I added the dragonflies in memory of his little brother who died last year. I'm going to enter it in Simon Says....SPOTS &/or STRIPES challenge as well as my friend Stacy's challenge.  You can see spots all over if you look carefully!

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!

Sisters at the Heard Museum

I made this for My Scraps and More sketch challenge!

Thanks for visiting! Hope you are having a great week!

My Niece's Prom from 2010, too! :-)

I made this from a sketch from the The Sweet Peach Crop Shop!  I used Sassafras Las' Sweetly Smitten collection.  I thought the butterflies were a lot of fun on this!  I also entered this on Sketches 4 All.  My friend Stacy sent me the Sweetly Smitten! 

10 Year Anniversary-San Fancisco

Everything is Basic Grey with the exception of the flowers (Bazzill) and the ink which is Ranger Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany and my own shimmery mist which has alcohol inks mixed with CTMH re-inker (I've forgotten the exact colors now), alcohol, pearl-ex and water.

Even though this isn't a great picture of us, I still love it because it is the only one of us together during our 10-year anniversary trip to San Francisco!  We were standing on the grounds of Coit Tower.  In the background, you can see the Ferry Building and the Oakland Bay Bridge.  I made this layout based on Sketchy Thursday's 7-29-2010 great sketch! It also fit's Denise's challenge over at Sketches For All to use ink 2 ways (inked the edges of the paper and misted using my own hand-made shimmery mist). It's funny,  EBTKS has a button challenge this week, too.
A note about the supplies! My new blog friend Stacy H-W sent me most of the supplies that I used on this in a totally surprise RAK just to help me get my MOJO back! That was so great!

Monochromatic Green Hydrangea

This GREEN monochromatic beauty is the card I made to be entered into Caardvark's Celebrating Core'dinations challenge.  This is such a fun challenge! I used a piece of green embossed Core'dinations card stock as my focal background paper.  It is so much fun to use. I sanded it and roughed up the edges.  It sure handles well!!  I used Hero Arts' hydrangea as the main image and also used it very subtly on the card base and in the background of the piece where I stamped my image.  I put some stickles in the center of each little flower within the hydrangea.  I hope you like it! Green is my favorite color so I sure do!
