Love Me Do -- Love Birds Walking on the Beach in California

Here's one of Steve and me walking along the ocean! I used a sketch from Sweet Peach Crop Shop which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it! Everything except the twine, red ink, and adhesive is My Mind's Eye "Love Me Do" collection. You should see the goofy look on my face in the first one!

Thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

Cool in the Pool

 

Ahh, relaxing in the pool in San Diego. What could be better than that? I used Sketchy Thursday's latest challenge to make this for Stacy's make me think of being cool when I see your project.  I'm usually pretty literal when I use a sketch, but I took a little license on this one... I used MyStik adhesive which I really liked and some foam squares, both from 3L. What adhesive is your favorite?  The stamping is from CTMH, but otherwise pretty much everything is from a cute, older collection from My Mind's Eye! Plus, the little holes were punched with an EK Success border punch!  The yellow and blue papers have hearts all over--just loved that...

My Hilarious Nephew

No challenge! Just wanted to share this funny layout!  My nephew saw this elephant at the San Diego Zoo and immediately got a wild look in his eye and got on and rode it for a while.  I don't know what he was thinking!  Maybe he knew he was a little too big for it... maybe he wanted a laugh... I wish I knew. It was so funny. I knew I had a great scrapbook page in the making when I took the photos!

Thank you Teacher

I made this little thank you card for the Crafter's Companion challenge this month.  The little bear Popcorn is so sweet--it is from the School Days set!  I'm glad I saved the little bit from a notebook border punch that I got to use at Archiver's. I'd love to have a notebook border punch, but this will have to do for now!!! Anyway, I added a little Tattered Angels mist droplets on th background. My coloring isn't great, but there is no way to make this bear not cute!!

Thanks for visiting! I should be adding some layouts soon!

Have a great weekend!

San Diego Zoo-Take 3 - Giraffes

I made this layout of the giraffes at the San Diego Zoo for Scrapfit's Workout #49!  I used some older CTMH giraffe paper which I put in the Cricut to make a fun background! This qualifies it for a little challenge I found on Scrapper Creations' blog.  I also did a little embossing with my paper cutter. I made the banner out of some  tags I stamped and some hemp! Simple-but picture focused--which is how I roll!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll leave a comment so I know that you were here! If I haven't already visited you in the last day or so, I'll stop by your blog and say HI to you, too!

Have a great day!

San Diego Zoo-Take 2 in Circles

I made a two page layout of the elephants in the San Diego zoo, but I'm only sharing page one here! I don't know how to stitch the two layouts together--too lazy to figure it out.   I love participating in The Paper Variety's challenges, and it has finally paid off. I was their winner for last week's challenge.   This week they want you to include at least four circles in honor of Scrapbook Circle who is their sponsor this week!  Anyway, I used WAY more than four circles!

Thanks so much for visiting! I've been scrapping a whole bunch this week.  I should--I just got 375 photos in the mail last week!

Have a great day!

First of Many from the San Diego Zoo

I used this week's Sketchy Thursday's challenge to make this layout from the San Diego Zoo. I took and printed so many photos from our trip. You'll be seeing so much more from the zoo as well as the San Diego area.

The little yellow hemp flower is made with some Gluber's that I won from Cosmo Cricket!!! Yay! Also, the leaf border punches from Fiskars are from Tania Willis! Thanks again guys!

Thanks for visiting! Please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by! I'll try to get around to you as soon as possible! I'm always about 150 blog feeds behind... :-)
