It's Mad Fun - MMD

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!!!!  I hope you are ready for a great weekend.  I can't believe how fast this week has flown by.  Crazy.

Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with Heather's sketch 19.  (yes, that Heather...the one I always am talking about.)

So, here is the sketch....

And my take....

Lots of American Crafts Dear Lizzy, mixed with some trims from the Hydrangea Hippo Etsy shop were used to create this layout of Mackenzie at Penguin Madness (our swim team's spirit relays).

I have really got to get better with my photos.  Just struggling these days with my new desire to take the photos upright.  sigh

OK, well....busy, busy, busy.

Hugs.

Oops.....

I did it again.  And now that song is going to be stuck in my head.  I guess it is payback for not stopping in earlier today.  I don't know why, but I was just so tired that I slept in till 9:00.  Well, kinda.  I woke up at 6:00 and then at 7:00 and then at 8:00...but I got up at 9:00, so I guess I slept in till then.  lol

Maybe I was procrastinating on sharing this project because I knew I was going to have to blur the photos? They were taken Easter Sunday and Mackenzie was still fairly swollen from having her wisdom teeth pulled.  Needless to say she was not happy with me and I told her I wouldn't post the photos of her swollen on the blog.  I am going with blurring her out makes it ok...shhhh.

I used lots of the American Crafts Dear Lizzy, Neapolitan line for these Easter photos.  The papers, some of the trims, the crepe paper,chipboard and pinwheels.  And of course I could resist mixing in a bit of Prima.

 The colors in the Dear Lizzy line are so full of spring.

 Oh, and that little bit of green Prima lace?  sigh...I think I need a whole spool.

OK, I think I hear Mackenzie home from the pool.  Better get this done before she sees what I am doing.

Hugs.

Good Friday

Hi everyone, and happy Friday.  If you are celebrating Good Friday, Passover, or just that it is almost the weekend, I hope it is fabulous!

I wanted to stop in today and share with you a couple of projects I made with the new Dear Lizzy Neopolitan.  I love the fun, bright colors in this collection.

The first one is based on a Pagemaps sketch, Ainsley's 10th birthday.  When I got busy adding pages into albums (which has stopped for some unknown reason...need to get back to it), I realized I had never scrapbooked her birthday party.

 I love the fun, new Flutterbys, although I have to admit they are not as easy to get off the sheet as I would have liked.

 

Sorry about the color here, but you can see the layering (lots of foam dots used) and the bits of stickles I added to the butterflies.

I have a new found love for these resin roses.  I think they are just too perfect.  hee hee

And here is more Ainsley, this time at one of our many swim meets.  This was lifted directly from the back of the Flutterbys packaging.  I love that there are so many ideas on the packaging these days.  It really made the project come together quickly.

 The little rosette is the perfect embellishment for this swim page.

Well, another full day here.  I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend, whatever holiday you observe.

Hugs.
