in the middle #2

I CASEd this card from someone--wish I had saved the photo/name to give credit. I love it so much!  I put the butterfly & mat in the top middle of the card to meet the Simon Says In the Middle challenge.

Authentique Classique Beauty

I'm excited to be making this album out of the beautiful  (really) new collection from Authentique called Classique Beauty. I thought it captured the photos of my beautiful mother (and father) perfectly!!! I'm going to be using it to teach a class at my awesome local scrapbook store!  I am entering it into Simon Says sTamp B challenge  (Beauty) also! 

It is very cool that Authentique is also having a contest so we can win some of their goodness--made in the U.S.A. goodies!!!

Thanks for looking!

Star Book

I made this out of Carta Bella's Words of Love collection and am entering it into Simon Says Anything goes... I'm going to be teaching how to make this book at the local scrapbook store..

Thanks for looking.

Today, I was in the mood to make an album. So, I searched for instructions to make this cute little Waterfall Album. I am entering this in Simon Says Anything Goes....

Butterfly Card

I made this card for my mother in law!  I am entering it in the Simon Says Emboss It challenge!

Relax and Read a Book While You are Getting Well

I made this card for my sister as a get well card. The tag inside the envelope tells her to relax and get well. I made it for the Simon Says Emboss It challenge!

Love July 4, 2014

Look at these sweet FACES! You can tell that love, love, love is in the air! I love this photo of my son and his sweet girlfriend! I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp Challenge: About a Face and to my friend Stacy's challenge!

Hope all is well in your world!

2nd Take on Prom--You Two Have So Much Fun!

Well, I am on a roll with the prom photos! I made this for Simon Says Anything Goes and for my friend Stacy's tic tac toe challenge. I chose a different row this time...

What's that? Another Canvas?

I made another canvas to enter into Simon Says Show Anything Goes. I used some Faber Castell gelatos that I won from them a long time ago as well as some distress paint and stamps! 

Thanks for looking! I'll have more soon!

Charlie in the Snow

Here is Charlie in the "snow."  Little did we know that we would have several blizzards after that and well into March!  Hopefully, spring will poke its head out soon seeing how today is the first day of APRIL!  Anyway, I made this for Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes. It is my third entry!

Charlie - All Boy

See how the bracketed page is lopsided on this page? That is exactly what this little pup Charlie has done to our lives--made it very lopsided! Isn't he adorable though?  I made this page for Simon Says Stamp challenge to use a splash of color. I chose yellow mainly because of Charlie's pacifier chew toy.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are having a great day!

P.S. Please pray for us that our old house sells soon or at least has a contract by the middle of February. We've been given a lot of blessings that have made us do ok having two house payments, but we got news that at the end of February our home insurance will be WAY more expensive! Thanks and we appreciate any prayers you could offer!

World's Best Dad

I created this Father's Day card for Crafter's Companion's May Flowers Challenge and for Simon Says' Feature a Man challenge and one for the boys.

I used my water color pencils from CTMH as well as a couple of Copics to color in my Beatrix Potter image.

Thanks for visiting!

Prom 2012 - The first Page of Many

Well, I'm really excited to be scrapping again! This layout took on its own personality as it was not what I envisioned in my head for it at all. I loved the green Basic Grey sheet, and it was kind of by accident that I tried the black with it. I think it kind of balances the masculine with the feminine very well. I started out with Girl Land that Webster's Pages just sent me and it didn't want to come together.  However, I did use the beautiful flower, ribbon, word stickers and letters from it.  I'll just have to wait until the perfect photos come before I can cut into or use the beautiful papers from Girl Land.

Mitch decided to rent a tux for this year's prom since it was for senior year.  I thought his lovely girlfriend, Emily, looked like a Greek goddess in this dress!

I used The Paper Variety's wonderful sketch for this layout!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you have time to leave a comment to let me know if anyone is still looking at my pages!!

Popcorn with Flowers!

I made this little card using the darling Popcorn the Bear stamp from Crafter's Companion where I am entering it in their May flowers challenge. I made the heart in the ear pink as well as used a pink background to fit my friend Stacy's challenge!  The three dots on the ribbon are actually sparkly jewels.  I fussy cut the bear and duck and then pop-dotted them for a little depth.

Thanks for visiting!!!

Time to Follow Your Dreams

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Here's a layout I made using CTMH products! It is kind of a senior photo of Mitch that I took.  I am entering this in Scrapfit's Workout #63 sketch challenge. I'm also entering it into Simon Says Bit O' Green!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great weekend!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Here's a quick St. Patty's Day card I whipped up for my neighbor! I love using hearts to make other things! Anyway, the stamps are CTMH and the other stuff I just rumbled around my room until I found them! I'm entering it in the Simon Says.... a BIT o' GREEN!!!! challenge! I was a bit lazy taking the photo on our table!

I hope you are having a great day! Thanks for stopping in.

Emily and Mitch Again

I made this layout with some Valentine's paper that I got from Doodlebug even though the kids were making Christmas cookies! Hey, what can I say? I loved the papers! I added some ribbon along the photos for my friend Stacy's challenge. Why don't you head over there and make a layout for her challenge. Adding ribbon (she'd love to see some creativity) is the only requirement!! Anyway, the little camera was a stamp from Imaginisce. I added a jewel where the flash is and a brad in the center with a heart!

Have a great day!

Christmas at Grammie and Poppy's

I made this using the sketch at Frosted Designs: Sketch Along Tuesdays Sketch #31.  We spent Christmas at my mom and dad's house this year!  I wanted to capture some of the decorations in a layout.  The little snowman quilt was made by my sister, and the polar bear hanging on it was made by my mom.  There is nothing better than being home for Christmas!

Thanks for visiting!

My Son is in his Senior Year

I made this for the Frosted Designs' Fabulous Friday Challenge - Something New! Everything with the exception of the brad on the Congrats tag is the new Chap line from American Crafts! I love it!
