He sure didn't want to pose, but both boys got to pick a spot they wanted to take a photo with him at. Thor was a trooper and did really well! I feel a new yearly tradition starting! Cann Memorial Gardens, Ponca City, OK"

Here are some detailed shots:

For my pumpkin, I cut 3 circles, inked the edges and added some glitter glue. I loved the sentiment sticker from MME Limetwist line. It seemed to be just perfect!

I used one of my fiskars border punches, sunburst i believe, on cardstock and then patterned paper. i inked the edges and layered them. I added my gemstones and then handstitched the beads down the seam.

my 1st Bath layout

Hello blogworld!! I have a layout today! Actually, its tonight, lol, almost tomorrow! I have done alot of cards lately, so it was nice to get a LO done!

I used sketch 6.16 from Sketchy Thursdays. It is the previous sketch, but I liked it so much, I had to use it anyways:

Here is what I came up with:

I am entering this layout into ScrapFIT Workout #45 `Around The House'. You had to find something around your house to use on/in/for your lo. I used Non Slip Grip Shelf Liners. You know, those things you put in your kitchen/bathroom cabinets to keep things from moving around. I cut two strips and used them as stencils, and painted over them with acrylic paint. Then, I used them as accents on the page. I really love the look it gave!! 

I am also going to enter this into Sketches In Thyme Open Challenge, as well as Practical Scrappers for use of buttons!

For this layout, I used:

•  The Paper Studio paper, MME simply delightful paper

Frowny Face

Good morning all!! Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday morning! I am!! I finally got some scrapping done yesterday! We have been super busy with birthdays and baseball and basketball camp... Anywho... I have a layout I did for Frosted Designs Sketch Along Tuesdays Sketch #16 Challenge:

This one was alot of fun!! I have soo many baby pictures of my youngest that I haven't gotten to scrap yet, and this seemed like a good sketch to do that! Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I knew I was going to use the foam shapes for this lo. I ended up picking my paper, and painting the circles with acrylic paint, then went over them with white acrylic paint to give them the grainy look. I painted the edge of a paper plate to get a rough layout of a circle, then went over it with a foam brush to make a full circle. I used glass beads and hand stitched all the way around the lo. I put a bead on every other stitch. I love the look it gave!! I wrapped the twine around a few times then double stacked two buttons and tied a bow. I hand sewed all the buttons to the lo. I added a bead to the two buttons on either side of the journaling. I love how the turquoise color pops on the neutral-y paper! 

My poor baby had to put up with a lot of picture taking, and was extremely upset with me when I put that hat on him!! It is one of my favorite pictures of him when he was a baby!! He still makes that face today, and he just turned 3! Life flies...

I am also sending this to Practical Scrappers for buttons...

For this layout, I used:

• Cricut cart: Don Juan and Lyrical Letters
• Paper: MME, The Paper Studio, Simply Delightful
• Cardstock: unknown from Hobby Lobby
• Crafters Square foam shapes (Dollar Tree)
• Acrylic paint
• Glass Beads (Walmart)
