A is for....

Ainsley!  Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a little late, but summer really is getting the best of me.  

Today I wanted to share with you a quick project I made using Almanac papers and a few other goodies from my Your Memories Here grab bag.

Ainsley and I have been having a great time making art for her room, as you probably have guessed,  and when I saw the huge letters on sale at Michaels we knew what our next project was.  I used my Prima Comfort Craft Distress Tool to file the edges of the paper and then inked those edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy.  And you know I couldn't resit adding a few flowers, pins and leaves from my grab bag.

Well, just a quick project today...back to work.

Hugs.

Monday, Monday

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a bit late posting today but it has, once again, been a crazy Monday.  My husband got back late last night/early this morning and so today was the first time we have been able to talk in a few days...on top of that we of course have school....well.....enough excuses.

Today I want to share with you a project I made for my good friend Heather.  She makes some of the best sketches and always lets me play along.

Isn't that cute?  She has mad sketching skills...as well as digi skills.

Here is my take.  This is before we began hunting for the eggs.  It kinda does double duty because these are some of the first photos since our backyard redo.

I used some of my new Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee papers with lots of ribbons and trims as well as a few blooms and stick pins from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.  She has got some amazing stuff.  You certainly should check it out.

Well, off to swim lessons with Ainsley.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugs.

Projects

Over the weekend Ainsley and Brighton had our Zone Championship meet for swim.  So, Phil and they were gone most of the weekend.  So, what did I do?  Well, tons of chores....they never seem to end, a bit of computer stuff (Phil just updated my computer) and  some scrapping!  Yeah me!!!!

The first project I wanted to share is one that I have had laying on my desk for quite some time.  You may remember that I made some memo pad holders by Kaiser Kraft last year for Christmas?  Well, they had come in a pack on 3, and I finally got around to making the last one.  I don't know what I am going to do with it as often happens with these projects, but I am really happy with how it turned out.  I used some older Fancy Pants papers, a bit of Tim Holtz Crackle Paint in Tattered Rose and lots of bits of trims and flowers.  I even tossed in a cameo and frame.

Fancy Pants Papers, Prima Flowers, pearls, bling. Maya Road flower (pink rosette), American Crafts frame, Webster's pages trim and cameo, Tim Holtz ink and paint, Jillebean Soup and Jenni Bowlin stick pins

 I also found the time to do a few layouts.

Fancy Pants Papers, Target pink snowflakes, Cricut white snowflakes, Diamond Stickles, Seam Binding dyed with Tattered Angels Starfish, Unkown ball trim, Tim Holtz inks 

This one is based on a pagemaps sketch I had lying around.  I love these photos of Ainsley.  She had so much  fun in the snow.  If only it hadn't been so cold.  Lots of Fancy Pants here too.  I am trying to use up some of the stash to make room for all the new things that will be coming out after CHA!  That is my beautiful niece, Caitlin, with her on the tubing hill.  Such a sweet girl.

And finally....

Bazzil Cardstock, Crate Paper patterned papers, stickers, chipboard, rub ons, Graphic 45 button, American Crafts Thickers alphabet.

Mackenzie on Christmas morning.  (sorry about the photo, need to clean my window, hee hee).  Another pagemaps sketch and lots of yummy Crate paper.   She got the new Nook Color and just loves it!  She is quite the avid reader so it will come in very handy.  We can even download books from our local library!  And, with the new she can browse the internet and play games and such with the Android apps.

Well, Gotta run!  Swim team meeting tonight!

Hugs.

Lazy Days

Oh life has been so lazy the last few days.  Not a lot going on....catching up with friends, a few chores, and a project or two.

I bought a new point and shoot a few months ago and was needing a new camera bag.  Of course, the Prima canvas bag was adorable and I had to have it.

Lots of yummy glimmer mist in peach delight, tea rose and pomegranate.  A few flowers, a butterfly and a bit of bling.

I had to spray more of the pomegranate on the handle to make it more colorful and match the button.

I also managed to create this layout.  It is based on a July Page Maps sketch and week 153 of Color Combos Galore.

Well, off to grab a glass of wine and maybe watch some television.

Hugs.
