Echo Park NSD Challenge #4: 10X the Love

Here is Charlie on the day that we had a blizzard. It was his first "big" snow! He hated it and wanted in! I made this for Echo Park's NSD Challenge #4: 10X the Love using an older collection that I love! In case you are wondering "what are the 10 things?", they are the 10 snowflakes with a jewel in each at the top!  I hope you like it! I wanted to do so much more scrapbooking today, but I am happy I got a chance to create a few layouts! Maybe I'll get more time tomorrow!

Thanks for looking!

NSD - Challenge and Poor Little Charlie

I created this for Basic Grey's NSD challenge to cut around an image in a patterned paper and use it on your layout. I used an old, old, but good, good collection for these photos of my hubby and son playing disc golf. I thought the patterned paper looked a lot like the disc golf nets!!   I have some hidden journaling in a pocket "behind" Steve's photo. I used this awesome sketch by PageMaps for their birthday celebration!

Poor little Charlie just got "snipped yesterday. He is looking "blue" here because I wouldn't let him go downstairs to help me take a photo of this layout!!!

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

St. Lucia

I made this for the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge. I also made it using the sketch at Pamela's World of Scrap.... (Actually, I already made a layout for this month's sketch so I used an older sketch so that I could enter twice.)

Charlie and Mitch

I made this for the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge. I also made it using the sketch at Scrapping Everyday Miracles. 

REDBOOK + L’Oréal Paris Happy Hour House Party Goodie Bags

When I saw that Simon Says Stamp had an Anything Goes Challenge, I had some motivation to get my 10 goodie bags ready for the
REDBOOK + L’Oréal Paris Happy Hour House Party that I am hosting this weekend.  I used my Cricut to cut out the purse and flower and then embossed the purse in my Sizzix machine.. The cellophane bags have a cute yellow design on them, too.  I thought they turned out pretty cute, and they were easier than I thought! I can't wait to host the party for my niece Julie and her friends. They need a little break from studying!!!

Welcome Home New Baby

THE STORY:  the boys (my husband and son) had been begging for a dog ever since we moved into our new house.  The idea was that he wouldn't have to be left alone for long hours since we'd be so much closer to my husband's work, and he works from home often. Well, I kept saying "NO!" since I'm allergic. Steve (my husband) had been stalking Craig's list and the Humane Society and saw our Charlie's photo the second it was posted.  Well, I took one look at this little puppy's photo, and he was in our car one-half hour later--and he lived in the next town over....!!!!  Even though I do have the allergy problem, it is kinda worth it! He's such a sweetie (to us)!  Charlie has worked his way into all of our hearts, and we can't imagine life without him now!  I made it for the PageMaps challenge. Here's the sketch!

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...

Entering this at Simon Says ,,,,, April Showers and/or Spring Flowers using a sketch made by my friend Stacy... I don't love it, but it matches both challenges.
