Too Busy to Scrap but Here is a Layout from the Zoo

Here are some monkeys we saw at the zoo!  These boys definitely follow the "like Father, like son" motto!  This was a quick one. I just cut out some Basic Grey paper on the Cricut, added a tag with some buttons, some CTMH stamps to the bottom, some ribbon and a brad! Yay, one layout completed!

Thanks for visiting!

What a wonderful giveaway. I have not yet ventured too much into digi. This might be the kickstart I need.

Ocean Dreams (Coffee Filter flowers) - and I'm FAMOUS

I made this layout for Fiskars and CK challenges. I used a Fiskars scallop punch on a spray misted coffee filter on all three different types of flowers that I made. The top one has a Sizzix flower base, but the rest have 4-6 Fiskars scallops. Gosh, I must have used at least 3 or 4 different mist colors to kind of look like the sand and the ocean. I also cut my coffee filter letters on the Sizzix. It is hard to see, but I also used the Fiskars Washed Ashore border punch on this.

Now, why am I famous, you ask? Well, I was thrilled yesterday to get a surprise package from Fiskars. What did it contain? A new border punch which I helped name! It is called Falling for You. This particular punch is so great–-our family so loves trees and leaves–with the hubby being into wood-turning. I couldn't be more excited!

California Animals 12,000 Years Ago

First, I have to say Happy birthday to my wonderful Dad!!!

Well, I have to say I went a little haywire with the Crate Paper sparkly die-cuts on this one! I guess I must have been in the mood for color since the mural only had a couple of colors in it! It also may have been because of the colorful Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:  Luminous Layers challenge this week.  I used a fun sketch from Sketchy Thursdays to make the layout of these two photos which I pieced together from our San Diego Zoo visit.  I think you can tell that the inspiration came from the Tuesday Trigger and that Crate Paper made the perfect patterned paper for it. Who knows what happened from there! My layout also fits Frosted Design's challenge this week to include animals!

Anyway, thanks again for visiting! I really appreciate your sweet comments! They make my day!

Have a great day!

Misc San Diego Zoo photos

I used this fun sketch from DCWV (Nana's Nursery Baby Boy AND Hittin' The Books stacks) and the citrus color challenge over at The Paper Variety to make this miscellaneous layout from the San Diego Zoo.  I used JBS paint to stamp my phrases.  Did you notice the poor little gummy bear who was impaled on a cactus???

Thanks for visiting!

Panda at the San Diego Zoo

In keeping with the zoo theme, I decided to make a layout all about the Panda we saw at the San Diego Zoo.  I am entering this in a challenge over at the CK blog to layer at least 3 textures.  I layered the flower with some wedding/netting, felt, foam and a metal/epoxy brad which is layered over ribbon and paper!

Thanks for visiting! Please leave a comment so I know you visited! Thanks and have a great day!

Koalas at the San Diego Zoo

I used a cute sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches to do this layout of some of the koalas at the San Diego Zoo.  I could have watched them all day!   I think the koalas are so cute that they didn't need a lot of embellishments!  Card-stock and stamp are both from CTMH. The patterned paper and flower are Prima. The butterflies are Martha Stewart, and the pearls are from Kaiser. The letters are American Crafts Thickers. The hemp is from my stash.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you aren't sick of zoo layouts because I have MORE pictures!!!!
