Any suggestions??


Help!! I am submitting this card to corp. and I am really uncomfortable with it. I think I am done with it. I had some flowers out to add to it, but I think they make it too busy. Then I got out some buttons to add...still too busy. Without them, I feel like it is missing something. Then again, I think I have just been staring at it too long.:)

Lost Teefers


This page was made with my new finds from my adventure with Katie a week ago. She "drug" me to some scrapbook stores on the other side of the sound that I never would have found otherwise. It was so fun and I found so many things to try. My goal was to find boy stuff. I didn't do very well at that. This was pretty close though. These were American Craft papers that I matched with CTMH's Olive and Crystal Blue cardstocks. Then, I topped it off with my gift of Making Memories ribbon. I LOVE RIBBON!! I need to pace myself with that stuff. Aaaahhh.

You're Peeking!


Scott is my youngest and silliest! He likes to pretend that he's asleep. Michael and Dallin will say, "You're sleeeeeping!" He then pops his eyes open and laughs. I finally caught it on camera. This page uses more of my FAVORITE CTMH colors, Lilac Mist and Buttercup. I also had to incorporate my FAVORITE stamp set, Spot On Backgrounds:) I love my cricut for the moon and stars. So fun. And, yes, I did daub the edges of the moon, stars, and medallion. I gotta get back to my daubin' roots!! It is such a relief:)

Logan is one


Logan is my nephew. He has the most incredible blue eyes and dimples!! This page was made with SU's Boho paper packet and their now discontinued District ribbons. I LOVE their ribbons. I am so proud of myself for using such a strong and potent orange:) Whew. That was a tad stressful, but I love the color combo. Funny thing is that my brother (Daddy of Logan) loves orange and has given me courage to use it. Thanks Tom!!

Oh, those silly Boys


I just love this picture because it shows my boys vastly different personalities. Dallin, in the back, is so cautious and careful. Michael thinks everything is "pleasant" and smiles 99% of his life. Then, there is Scotty. He just attacks life full force. He has more fun and gets more excited than anyone I know:) I love the silver embossing on the Outdoor Denim CS stars. I also used Holiday Red again. I think I am officially over my dislike for that color. I used CTMH's July Word Puzzle and the Lucky Stars stamp sets. Yes, this is still 2006, but I am moving right along. I hope to get to 2007 pictures by October for our scrap weekend.

Mmmm...Strawberries and Polka Dots

Oooh, I love strawberries!! Putting them with polka dots from CTMH's Spot On Backgrounds polka dots was almost too much:) I made a bunch of these cuties to go with people's orders when they come in. "Thank you Berry much!" I used CTMH's White Daisy and Holiday Red Cardstock and Papertrey Inc's Garden stamp set. Fun Fun! Now I am off to attempt a project worthy of submitting to corp. Our unit is going to do this as a team this next month. Whew, we'll see what I can come up with:0 I am excited to see what everyone creates.

Fun In the Sun


Wow, I'm all the way up to August of 2006! I'm making progress. :) This layout was so fun to do, especially right now while it is summer. I used CTMH's Citrus Leaf textured cardstock, Sunny Yellow, Ocean, Sunflower, and Topiary. This page is a bit busy, but it is the first page in my 2nd album for that year...so, it has to make a bold statement, right?
