Sympathy Card

I made this sympathy card for the Simon Says STamp anything goes challenge. My 3rd entry

The Twins and their Furry Friend

I made this layout of my twin sister and me with the "furry" Phil the gorilla at the St. Louis Zoo.  We were about the same age as my sister's daughter and my son! It is weird to think that so much time has passed since this photo!!! Anyway, I saw the photos and thought they would fit great with Simon Says Stamp Furry Friends challenge; so I made this layout!!!

Thanks for looking! Hope your summer is going great!

Can we Keep Him?

I made this for the masculine challenge over at Simon Says Stamp!  The text is all about how mama doesn't want a dog and says "no, no, no" and the boys showing her the photo... and what happens next.

Happy 20th Birthday Mitchell!

I can't believe Mitchell turned 20 this April...  Anyway, I made this for the Simon Says Die Crazy challenge.  And, I even dug out my old Sizzix letters/numbers for this one.  The hearts and love are from American Crafts! And the matting is from a set of Spellbinders.

Thanks for looking!

I made this layout using FIVE layers--blue, brown, circle, arrows and photo mat!!!! So, I'm entering it into Simon Says Take Five!

Thanks for looking!

Canvas-Take 2 with an Owl

So, my latest obsession is making mixed media canvasses. . I embossed the belly of the Owl so it would fit my friend Stacy's challenge. I'd like to encourage you to enter her challenge-she is so sweet and leaves you love, and there is always a nice prize for someone!  I also decided to enter it 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!

Holding Up the Tree

I  found this new to me sketch site:  My Scraps & More.  So, I thought I'd create a layout using one of their fabulous sketches (#28) and for Simon Says Stamp anything goes!!

Sizzix

Two of Our Favorite Restaurants in San Francisco

"Spring/Summer Color Challenge

We challenge you to use this color range (orange, navy, light blue, green, and brown)."

So, I made this for Little Yellow Bicycle's National Scrapbooking Day sketch challenge and Simon Says Stamp anything goes!!. Funnily, I misread the rules and did the sketch challenge combined with the color challenge! Oh, well. As you can see, I used “Just Because” and “Savor” (to get the colors in), and it matched my theme of two of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco.

Buzzing with Good Wishes

I created this using this fun sketch from Page Maps with the challenge to change the shape! When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of my CTMH Quick Cards— Bumble Bee stamp and my Spellbinders hexagon shape to make the card! The "buzzing with good wishes" takes place of the little banner/border.  I also embossed the yellow part with a Cuttlebug folder and then inked it up.  I sprayed a little Mr. Huey Mist on the card as well as coloring the bee with some shimmerz powder and then covering the entire bee with liquid glue!  The buttons are from Basic Grey and the charm came from Michael's (don't know the brand). The twine is from The Twinery!

Thanks for looking! I love this card!

Picture Perfect - Disc Golf

I love it when Steve and Mitch play together!  Here, I've captured each of them getting ready to throw the disc golf toward the target! They are both so intense!!!!!  I created this using this fun sketch from Page Maps and incorporated borders per the challenge instructions. I added a camera from Amy Tan's collection to qualify for Simon Says Stamp Says Take a Picture Challenge.  I used a bunch of Jillibean Soup and American Crafts for this page but also added a stamped border of some great stamps from Teresa Collins Designs. 

I love all of the color in the page and think the arrows are fun for the movement of the game!

Thanks for looking!!!

I hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend!

You Will Always Be My Little Boy

I made this for the Page Maps Colour Suite Challenge sponsored by Echo Park. I was lucky enough to win All About a Boy from Echo Park during NSD this year.  I used it along with Little Boy and Hello Summer to make the layout! The only things that are not Echo Park are the sun boundary which is from CTMH and the twine. I also embossed the denim looking paper with a new Spellbinders two in one embossing folder.Oh, yeah, and I added a little mist from Tattered Angels.  Mitch is holding a sweet gum. What is funny about it is that he said "Mom, look, a sour gum!"  I thought it was funny anyway!


Thanks for looking and hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

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!
