Time Flies

 I was so excited when April at Through the Vine Designs said that she was going to feature my layout on her Facebook page and in her Newsletter this month!!! She has a great little store and I had just received my order from her with the Basic Grey Hopscotch paper and some fabulous ribbon!!! I used the sketch from Page Maps she had posted in her Newsletter last month to create this layout. I absolutely loved working with the Hopscotch paper and stickers!!!! They have so many possibilities!!

 The pictures I used are some I came across in my piles of photos to scrap. They are of Azelyn a couple of Springs ago, she was outside picking some of the first dandelions we had. She seems so little in these photos, she is growing up way too fast!!!!!

I am entering this in Scrap and Stamp's Love challenge, and Basic Grey's Heart challenge.

Products used:

BG Hopscotch paper, stickers and brads.

American Craft Ribbon

CTMH ink, cs, stamps (Just the Ticket, Code It, and Checklist)

random flowers

white uniball pen

SU punch

Here are a few close ups.

I'm not sure who I will give this too but it's always nice to have some extra cards just in case.

Products used:

Stamp:Kraftin' Kimmie, BG Curio dp, CTMH cs, liquid glass, ink and ribbon, Neenah cs, Momento ink, copics, boweasy, and spellbinders. The flowers are from my LSS.

 I made this card last week for my Aunt Shirley's 50th birthday, which we never ended up getting to ): I knew I had made this card with a challenge in mind, and have just now realized it was for Paper Sundaes' distressed challenge from last week ): (am I ever on the ball eh!? Shhh Roxy!!) but the good news is I can enter it in Cute Card Thursday's Banish the Blues challenge (I think little Miles is pretty humorous in this image!!) and If the Shoe Fits Pink challenge (:

Products used include, BG dp, spellbinders, Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, SU brads and punch, CTMH cs, ink, glitz glue, and sentiment, recollections flowers, MM ribbon, neenah cs, and copics.

Fishin' You a Great Day!!

 I made this card for my Father in Law's birthday. He is quite the fisherman so I thought he would get a kick out of this image. I'm entering this in Kraftin' Kimmie's challenge #63- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (all of the paper was put of my scrap bins, including the base of the card) and Cute Card Thursday's sketch challenge 149. This gives me 2 chances to win some great Kraftin' Kimmie stamps (:

 Because the paper is from my scraps, I'm not sure what kind it is? I used Neenah cs to stamp my image and sentiment on. All of the embellishments, except for the bobber, are CTMH. I used copics to colour my Kraftin' Kimmie image (his name is Curtis), and my spellbinders to cut him out.

Yay!!! The Perfect Poison is Up!!!!

 I received my package from Annie Rodrigue (Moonlight Whispers) the other day!! I was so excited!!! The Perfect Poison is my absolute favourite piece of hers (has nothing to do with the fact that I went to University for Chemistry (: ) I think most of you are familiar with the images Annie creates for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, they are always so amazing!! (Thanks Kimmie for finding Annie and introducing so many of us to her work (: )

I finally got Lee to help me put it up tonight. I had to get him to take down the shelf that the baskets were on and with it came a few chunks of paint ): I managed to cover some of the wholes with the scroll but I'll have to figure something out for the other spots ):

These pictures were taken tonight so hopefully they do it justice!!

I added the last one just so you could get an idea of how big it is. Annie also has Red Riding Hood in the same size (27x18.5") and Night Wish which is almost double in size (42x33")

Have a great week!!!
