MY SWEET VALENTINE / BasicGrey & Simple Scrapper...

Hello! I have a layout up over on the BasicGrey blog today, using the True Love digital kit. I loved all the papers in this collection, so I found a grid template over at Simple Scrapper in the Premium Member area, and created this patchwork "quilt". With such a busy pattern, I thought a black and white image would look best.

Have a wonderful day!

BOO! / Digital Doodles & SSC Sketchy Sat. 9_18/Wk#3....

It's a Digital Doodle sorta day!!! As we approach another October with all it's ghoulish glee, I figured I'd better use Kathy Martin's SUPER CUTE digi stamp set, Happy Howl-loween to scrap last year's festivities!

I paired her fun stamps with a sketch from Simply Scrapping Crafts, Sketchy Saturday, week 3 for this all digital scrap page! If you like the digi papers, they were made by me! I used them to paper piece the stamps.

Alex loved walking around last year, but he wasn't thrilled over his costume, as you can tell!

Go check out the other Doodle gal's tremendous projects here... you won't be disappointed!

HAT / TPE Scrap #23 & SSC Sketchy Sat. 9_10/Wk#1...

Here are my kiddos... Alex loves hats & tupperware & recently I caught him putting this bowl on Maisie's head...

This digi layout is for two challenges... The Pink Elephant Scrap Challenge, to use your FAVE colors and embellishments, which is hard because I love ALL colors pretty much, and of course I love buttons... and this layout is based on the weekly sketch over at Simply Scrapping Crafts Sketchy Saturday Challenge.

This digi paper is from Jessica Sprague's site, A Walk in the Park by Echo Park. I used bit and pieces from quite a few digital sets, but if there's something you're curious about, please ask!

Bye for now...

PLAYTIME / USSIS #68 & SSC AUG WK #2...

Here's a digital page for this week's Unscripted Sketch! I was really challenged by the odd shape, but once I found this photo of Alex, I was pretty excited about it!

Most days for the last month have been around 97-99 degrees Fahrenheit, with a heat index well over 105... which means Alex hasn't been able to play outside very much! A few weeks ago we took him to an indoor playground, and as you can see he had a lot of fun!

We're going to do a little shopping today... but I'll be back later!

Bye for now...

EMMA / TESC #118, ACLP #45 & SSC S&S June wk4...

Here's a cutie-patootie for a late afternoon card, where did I find the time...

2010 Stamp & Scrap Challenge June Week 4

'Paper Piecing'

@ Simply Scrapping Crafts

I made this card with the latest & greatest sketch from Taylored Expressions, using the color challenge from Die Cuts R Us, A Crafty Little Place and also the Simply Scrapping Crafts Stamp & Scrap challenge to paper piece - you KNOW I love me some paper piecing!

This stamp is Emma from artist Lori Boyd, sold by Claudia & Co. I picked it up at Die Cuts R Us... I love stamped images I can color/paper piece! The paper is from Basic Grey, Lemonade. I colored Emma with Copics and wrote in the sentiment. The EF is form Cuttlebug, the Moroccan Screen.

Have a great evening!

A DAY AT THE ZOO / SSC June Week 4 Color & Sketch Challenges...

While I must admit that EVERY day in my life is a day at the zoo, here's a LO of our family going to an ACTUAL zoo!

Back before I had Maisie Grace, I joined a community called Simply Scrapping Crafts, but as life got hectic I really didn't spend much time there. I recently re-connected with them, saw that my friend Lori had a group there and also saw that they were VERY scrap friendly, so I decided to get more involved... I'm so glad I did! What a wonderful group! And they have some awesome challenges, too! So I decided to do their color and sketch challenges for this digital layout!

Jeff had a VA appt. at the beginning of June about 4 hours away, so we made a little vacation out of it - SO FUN! We took the kiddos to the zoo, it was SO muggy & hot, we were drenched in sweat by the time we left! This LO has uses too many digital kits to even list... sorry! I'll try better in the future to keep track so I can post them.

Bye for now!
