GIANT banners!

Hello Again!

I've got another fantastic sketch for you to get busy with! This time it's from Let's Scrap!

I love the GIANT banners!!! Another great way to showcase different busy patterned papers or maybe a rainbow of colours...you could definitley finish off some of those kits you have...I cut the strips about 2½" wide and using a 12" length, trim out your banner ends! Super simple, super fast and super great looking!!!

I only took a handful of photos of Oliver playing with this bottle cap...in the end I had only printed out six so I decided to take the scraps of each 4x6 photo and trim out the patio for the other two photo spots...my photos are 2x2 and then I cut out 2¼x2¼ white printer paper to mat them on...I've used the small corner rounder on the photos to make them look like little Instagram photos...

If you can believe it, these photos were taken with my iPhone!!! I still can't find my Nikon battery charger!!! Super frustrating but I am learning to take some great photos with my iPhone in the meantime...isn't this Macro shot great!???

This layout felt like it needed some more texture so I went a little crazy with the sewing machine...stitching and boys seem to go together in my mind...

I've decided to try to use up the rest of my February Bonus Kit from the Memory Workshop...I have to say that I seldom actually use all of any kit up, but I wanted to make a point of creating with this one until it was all gone!!! My sticker sheet is looking pretty bare and I actually used some of the flowers...not a giant fan of flowers so this was a stretch!

It just so happens to be the perfect colours for my newest family addition, Oliver!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in here today, I love having visitors and hearing from you in my comments...let me know if you get creative with this sketch! 

I'd love to hear from you :)

CTMH June Club Night

Well , last night was the last night with Esther Vuong as our Close to my Heart Consultant as she and her family are moving to Armstrong! We completed this layout and I added these photos of my dog Chloe's new additions. Come next September I will hopefully have a couple full Clubs of my own as I am just getting things organized myself as a new CTMH Independant Consultant. Thanks for looking.

The Great Outdoors

Well this was the second day outside to the great green world! The puppies were quite hesitant and Mamma was a little nervous with them outside. We kept a close eye on them and were never more than a hands reach from them...don't want them to get scooped up with all the eagles and hawks hovering around our neighbourhood!

Puppy update

My adorable litter...well two...of Yorkies were born 13 days ago and they have yet to open their eyes...hopefully tomorrow or the next day. The little wee lad, Wylie (the coyote) has sucessfully gained just over 12 ozs. since birth and is now a whopping one pound, three quarter ozs! The adorable petit lass, Lucy, is growing steady and weighed in at 12.5 ozs. this morning...slow and steady my girl is. It has been very difficult to refrain from "oooh look at the cutie wootie little baby" talk...try as I might. My kids are giving me a hard time with the baby-talk, they are constantly reminding me that I love Chloe, the Mamma, and her pups more than I love them! Honestly! I just love them differently... :)
