My sweet baby boy

I've been doing a couple of layouts lately of my son when he was a baby......It's crazy how fast they grow up! I still like to sneak in on him and watch him while he is sleeping though! ;)

The first Layout was made with sketch #22 at 52 weeks. Still love her sketches, the summer schedule has made it hard to keep up with them every week!
This next one I made up using an older CTMH line. I got this one when I first became a consultant three years ago, but it is the only beach/swim themed paper I had around.
Didn't he have the greatest little swim body!

Have a good day! :)

June Cards

These are the cards for my June Card workshop that I am holding this week. It will be my final card night before we move. I have been doing this for over two years now, and I will really miss some of the good friends I have made through these workshops.
Thanks to all of those who have come and
supported me over the last two years!!!

















This month I used the new Animal Cookies paper from Close To My Heart. It was so fun to work with! I usually don't go for the brighter, primary colors, but I loved this paper! The patterned polka dots are so cute!
I also used the new stamp set "You're a hoot!" - the owls in this set are adorable!- as well as the Good times stamp set, Family Ties children Stamp set, and various alphabet stamps.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

A quick and easy layout

I was on a mission to put a layout together super quick, which never happens for me!
This was what I came up with:

I thought it turned out cute, and it was a great way to get a page done in a hurry!
This is a card I made using an idea I found in Card Makers Magazine from a long time ago.
I liked the diagonal cut of the patterned paper...just something a little different than the norm!

A Few Favorites

I have been working on a mega project the last few days (in the last week I made a 56 page scrapbook for a friend to give to her MIL!) so I haven't created anything new for myself recently, but I had these two favorites from a couple of months ago that I thought I would share now.
This layout uses a sketch from the 52 sketches blog.
It was the perfect sketch for this picture, and I love how it turned out!
Check out the title! :)
And this is my favorite card that I have made recently. I used the Key to my Heart kit from Close to my Heart (Jan. special). I wanted to make a big scalloped border but I don't have the right kind of circle cutter to do it, so I stamped the circle from another stamp set several times right next to each other and then cut them out and layered them under the patterned papers. Turned out cute, don't you think?

Thanks for Looking!

May Card Workshop

Just thought I would share the cards I made for my May card night that is coming up in a couple of weeks! I made them using the Stardust paper kit from CTMH (love these papers!), along with various CTMH stamps. There are three Father's Day cards and three birthday cards.
Thanks stopping by my blog! :)

A few new things....

Hello!
Just thought I would share a few new layouts I have created as of late.
I finally got brave and scrapbooked the pictures of my pregnancy with Grace.
Definitely not my favorite pictures of myself :) but certainly worth preserving.
Is it just me, or does my backside get as big as my front side!?! Not fair!

This layout I created using sketch #15 at 52 sketches:
And this layout I did for a challenge at AC Bailey, although I realized after I did it that I hadn't even met the requirements of the challenge, so it didn't count! My brain has really been on the fritz this week! Oh well, I really like it and it is always good to get another layout done!


Have a good one!
