Anniversary Time

This month will mark my son's second anniversary.
With going to college, working every weekend, and living with the grumpy in-laws (us) in between, (not to mention her losing a father and gaining a "step") it can't have been easy, but they are still hanging in there, and hopefully enjoying life.
Best wishes, and Happy rest of your lives!
Mom :)

The kids took this photo with my camera at one of our family gatherings earlier this Summer (very convenient)...and the papers are some scraps that Libby gave me from one of her projects (Daisy D's I think...) she knows I horde them. LOL!
The "years" stickers are also Daisy D's. The rub on is Basic Grey, and the chipboard number '2' is from All My Memories.
(I found this idea in the June issue of "Cardmaking" magazine)

*The sweet ladies over at Scrapbooks.com kindly picked this page for their layout of the week for the week of 8/11. Thanks girls!

Had a minute....

...So I made this little creation for Miss Lilybean's sketch challenge:

I love sketches - if you're stuck for an idea, it's a really great place to start!
These are Basic Grey "Boxer" 6x6 papers, the ribbon and metal trim are from Stampinup.
Thanks for peeking!

BOM Time

It's been a long time since I've done a page for my Book of Me,
So, when I saw this challenge to scrapbook some childhood Summertime memories over at Scrapbook Doodles, I decided to take them up on it.

I used My Mind's Eye 29th Street Market papers and transparency,(and some scraps from Basic Grey.) The butterfly sticker is from K&Co.
Just a quick, fun little 8x8.

(I need to add that the photo is of 2 of my sisters when we revisited our old homestead this past May.)

Lucy's July Sketch

It's that time again - Lucy has a new card sketch up for July, hope you'll check it out!
Here's my sample - I used Basic Grey paper, Rusty Pickle chipboard (I like to add a little glitter), and the butterfly is made with my Cuttlebug and their new butterfly cut & emboss template, with a little Heidi Swapp bling added.

Hope you're having a fun Summer!

Guess What?

I actually made something today!
(Sometimes you just have to take a creative break!)
I was flipping through some of my old (I mean really old) Victoria magazines the other day, and I came across that page where they display the really clever business cards, and I thought that one of them would make a really cute card - and guess what? It did! LOL!
(Not to mention really quick and easy, which is what we like these days...)

Just plain card stock here - the hardest thing on this one was finding the rub-on - I ended up having to drive 20 miles to find the silly thing! I would have liked it a little bigger, with a little more flourish, but I was lucky to find one at all, so I won't complain!
Hope you're enjoying your Summer! :)

Lucy's June Sketch

...is up on her blog now - here's my sample card:

The good ol' Red White, and Blue! How appropriate for Flag Day !
Papers are Provo Craft, Melissa Frances star, All My Memories buttons, and Stampinup gold cord.

"Cherry" wishes

Saturday is my daughter in law's birthday. She is such a tiny little thing, she's 20 something, but looks 12! She complains about having to show ID when she goes places with my son, but I keep telling her there will come a day when she'll be glad she looks 10 years younger than her actual age!

She loves cherries, and collects all kinds of things with them on, so I was glad to finally have a chance to use these Heidi Swapp chipboard cherries. The papers are all Basic Grey Two Scoops 6x6 papers, the ribbon is from an unknown source (it was in a kit I ordered.) The rub-ons are Making Memories.
Thanks for peeking!
