My sweet girl...

I finally had the chance to do some scrapping today and wow have I missed it! My Scrappin-n-Chattin group is having another 24 hour challenge this weekend and as the hostess, I figured I should participate. ;) The ladies in the group chose the sketch and papers I would work with. I'm so happy with their choices and I adore the finished page...

I can't believe that this picture is 8 years old! My sweet girl was only 2 at the time. It's crazy how fast time goes by, isn't it? Make sure you hug your babies...they grow up faster than you know!

Thanks so much for looking...have an awesome day and a great Memorial Day weekend! :)

Another wall hanging...

I did another wall hanging today, using the same awesome Scripture I used on the one I made the other day...



Supplies: K&Company Paper Pad - Classic Charlotte & Life's Journey; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Fiskars Scallop Border Punch; Slice; Slice Basic Shapes 2 Design Card; Autumn Leaves Clear Buttons; Ranger Ink Glossy Accents; Twine; Crop-A-Dile

This one is much simpler than the other one, but I really like how it looks. Plus I got to have some fun making my own flower. ;) I found a great tip online that said to use the handle of a skinny paintbrush to curl the ends of your die-cut flowers up to give them some shape. So after cutting a couple out with my Slice and inking the edges, I tried it out and and it worked great! Thanks so much for looking...

A new card to share...

I recently got some Scripture stamps from Verve Stamps and I am really loving them! The quality is wonderful and the image is very crisp and clear. Plus, at only $3 each, they're a great deal too. ;) I made a card the other day with one of the stamps and I just love how it looks...

Teacher Appreciation!

I wanted to make something for Emily's teacher for Teacher Appreciation this week. I thought about doing a mini album but I'm planning on doing one of those for the end of the year, so I decided on a wall hanging instead. I started with a plain wood heart that I grabbed at The Dollar Tree last year sometime and just decorated it like I would a layout...


Supplies: DCWV Paper Pad - Grade School Stack; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Prima Flowers; Bo Bunny Button - Kitchen Spice; Twine; Computer Font - CK Alis Hand

I'm so happy with how it turned out! I went in with Emily today and gave it to the teacher and she really loved it. :)

Moments (NSD Layout)

Over at scrapbook.com, they're having a HUGE National Scrapbooking Day celebration! There are $10,000 worth of prizes being handed out. Totally cool. ;) One of the challenges is an all day challenge to create a layout about why you scrapbook. Well, of course the first thing that popped into my head when I read that question was my sweet girls. So what else would I make my page about?? ;)


Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Flutter Butter; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Computer Font - CK Alis Hand; EK Success Border Punch - Diamond Lace; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Jillibean Soup Alphabeans - Bean Brown; Slice; Slice Basic Shapes 2 Card; Making Memories Sanding Block; Recollections Pearls

I looooooooove how it turned out...most of all the journaling. It truly says why I do this and I'm happy I've got it down on paper for my sweeties to one day read. :)

I hope you're all having an awesome day...thanks so much for stopping by!
