Second Post Today - Disc Golf (march 2012)

I was lucky enough to win some Fancy Pants this year. I guess I was waiting to do these photos until the right paper came along. Although I didn't receive any 12 x 12 sheets, I received the 6 x 6 and a whole bunch of embellishments from my favorite collection:  Park Bench! I cut up several pieces of the 6 x 6 tablet to make my "stripes under the photos. It is actually a two-page spread and the strips carry over to the 2nd page.  I had a lot of fun working with the collection and feel very fortunate to have won it!!! I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp -- add an arrow (the stickers in the collection had the perfect arrow).  I also did some embossing in the top corner by folding my paper to fit into my big shot. It is hard to tell here but it does add some amazing dimension and texture to the page.

See how Charlie is reacting to the snow now in my first post today: http://kmassman-scrapbooks-cards.blogspot.com/2013/02/more-snow-and-now-he-loves-it.html

More Snow and Now He Loves it!!

We got even more snow. And, after that first time out during the middle of the blizzard, Charlie loves it! He doesn't want to come in now! We also have had a lot of geese flying overhead! I think they are a little confused by all of the snow.  This snow is much prettier than that we had last week!

I've been scrapbooking but failing to take photos of the layouts! Soon. I hope...

Hope you are having a great day!

Snow Day!

Well, we are in the middle of a blizzard here! Even my son's university cancelled classes in the afternoon! Mitch called to let me know they cancelled AFTER he attended his two classes. Luckily, he lives close-by  so he came last night to get his boots!

Give me an adjective as to how you think Charlie feels about the snow?

lol

Hope you are having a snug as a bug in a rug day!

Punk Rock Star - Charlie!

Happy Valentine's Day!

My friend Stacy got me going on vellum with her most recent challenges! I made 10 valentine cards for family and could still think of a whole bunch more people to send to but I stopped. I forgot to take my photo until one of the last ones (and not the prettiest). It just so happens to also meet the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger and Simon Says Have a Heart challenge this week!!!! Yay! I'm back to entering challenges! :-)

Hope you are having a great day and have a great Valentine's Day next week.

P.S. We have a contract on our house (though signatures are being finalized)! Thanks for all of your kind thoughts and prayers!! Now, we wait for inspections, appraisal and closing!! Please continue to pray that all goes well and the closing on March 26 will go off without a hitch!!! Thanks again!

Meeting Charlie!

Mitchell is meeting Charlie for the first time the day after we brought him home.  Charlie was so tiny then, weighing in at a little over 3 pounds!  He just had his 12 week check up Friday (1/25), and he weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces.  He's a whopper now!  He looks like a gangly teenager with long legs--he also has floppy ears that are almost too big for his cute face. I need to get a photo of him before he changes again!!!

Anyway, I made this for PageMaps Fancy Pants Love Note sketch contest.  I felt bad but the only paper I had on hand of Fancy Pants did not go with these photos or the sketch.  But, I did at least use their letter stickers!  The rest is Jillibean Soup!  The 2012 tag is American Crafts. And, the cute little pup stamp is from October Afternoon.  I thought this came together well and was very happy to get a chance to scrap with a "new baby" in the house. He still requires almost constant attention to avoid little peepee messes in the house and avoid our carpet being devoured!!!!  

Our Realtor had an open house at our old house today, so we are crossing our fingers that someone there or someone else will make an offer soon!

Hope you are having a great weekend. I'm spending most of the weekend working--which is a good thing right now!

Charlie - All Boy

See how the bracketed page is lopsided on this page? That is exactly what this little pup Charlie has done to our lives--made it very lopsided! Isn't he adorable though?  I made this page for Simon Says Stamp challenge to use a splash of color. I chose yellow mainly because of Charlie's pacifier chew toy.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are having a great day!

P.S. Please pray for us that our old house sells soon or at least has a contract by the middle of February. We've been given a lot of blessings that have made us do ok having two house payments, but we got news that at the end of February our home insurance will be WAY more expensive! Thanks and we appreciate any prayers you could offer!
