Pets!

Hi all! The layout I am sharing with you is of all the pets we had at one time, 3 great big FAT cats and one little dog! I like to print my own pictures and for one reason or another the pictures I was printing didn't come out right. So instead of throwing them away I thought why not scrap them. You really don't have to have the best of pictures and I really don't like waste so I created a real grundgy look for my layout using Notebook papers from Close To My Heart. Enjoy!

If you click on the picture to make it bigger you will notice the shaker box I made! Have a great day everyone!

How Sweet!

Title topper swap!

Myra's Flowers!

Hello all! Today I thought I would share with you one of my favourite layout ideas from Close To My Heart. This layout is out of one of their Idea Books. In this layout I did my very first sewing with my machine, I actually quilted with batting and all the top pink paper! It was a lot of fun.

In 2005 my flowers that I grew were just fabulous! So I took many picture of them and here is one layout result of them:

Simplest of layouts!

Hello all! Today I wanted to share with you this simple layout of my youngest daughter. I found this idea a few years ago on line and I just loved the simplicity of it, so I scrap-lifted it! However I don't have the creators name or even where I got the idea from. So if by chance it is you, then please take credit by leaving a comment here on my blog. And let me say thanks so much for this great simple idea!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will visit again. Have a great day everyone!

Creating Pattern Paper!

Hello all! Today I wanted to share with you my very first attempt at trying to create my own patterned paper. I started with a blank white sheet of cardstock, some stamps and ink and managed to create two patterned papers.

This is page 1:

This is page 2:

And this is the layout I did with these pages. This layout is of my husbands mother. The smaller pictures are the originals and the larger pictures are the ones that my husband made when he was a teenager. He and a friend were playing around with a negative maker or something like it. So he took the smaller pictures and made them bigger! But they also were mirrored or reversed. But they turned out great!

Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to let me know what you think of my blog so far. I look forward to your comments. Have a great day everyone!
