Wednesday night we got another round of snow. This time, it was some serious snow. And this was literally just outside the door. Needless to say, school was canceled for yesterday and today. The temperature wasn’t too cold yesterday, so we spent much of the morning outside. We did some shoveling. We are truly blessed…
As many scrapbookers have been doing, I’m sharing my 10 favorite layouts from 2010. (I’m a little late as I have been fighting computer troubles.) In no particular order. I love the simple, defined, orderly space. And the photos are my favorites as well. Masking & mist. Still love it. This was one of…
Remember that beautifully clean slate I showed last week? It didn’t last very long. And that is a very good thing because it means I did some creating! I started simple. A two pager with photos from our trip to Chicago a few Thanksgivings ago. Here are close ups of the two pages. I…
Welcome readers of Pet Blogs United! In light of our feature there, I thought I’d use today’s post to tell our Tucker story. Tucker is affectionately known as “Clifford” the big yellow dog, by one of my friends. She knows the story of how he came into our lives, how we (the kids and I)…
Creating a mask is a great technique to use with acrylic paint or mist. And today, I’m going to show you how I did both! I wanted to use a star theme on these “Rock Star” photos of my son with his new electric guitar. Here’s what I created. To create my extra large star…
All this week we are dog-sitting my friend and neighbor’s goldendoodle, Sophie. It’s been such fun! She is so adorable, but quite the opposite of Tucker in so many ways besides the obvious, the hair color and texture. Tucker is completely and utterly, food motivated. Sophie is all about play. She greets you with toy…
I don’t know how the weather is in your part of the world, but here it’s been rainy and quite dreary for the last few days. So it makes me extremely happy to share my layout for the theme this month at GCD Studios- Blends of color. I was totally smitten by the ruffly blended…
I just can’t get enough of mists right now. I must admit I was a unusually slow at adopting this technique, but I’m having so much fun now that I have. Not sure why I resisted so. 😉 Many of the papers in the lines of GCD Studios have a foil or a lacquer finish…
I finished up the photography part of the week in the life yesterday. While I’m pretty happy with what I got, I wish I have taken more photos. Saturday is really slim. I will have to dig around for some ephemera to go on that page. I decided to create a hybrid album using Cathy…
I’ve decided this week I am ready to do the Week in the Life project. It’s a busy week, but actually that’s pretty normal for the month of May. School is winding down and lots of volunteering and activities going on. I’ve already started with my photographing daily activities, although I forgot to take any…
Each month Heidi Sonboul challenges the Facebook Gal designers with an inspiration piece. This month’s Theme was silk and/or feathers. Here’s a look at the image that got me super inspired. I just adored the flowery necklace on the right. With that in mind, this is the layout I created. I knew instantly I wanted…
