A gift for our new niece

I am going to put this into a 12x12 shadow box & ship it off to FL as soon as my sister~in~law emails me her favorite picture of the new baby. I am going to put clear photo corners so that she may change out the picture as she gets older if she would like. I got the idea from AngelicaScrappenings (hers is much more beautiful, but I think I did OK)
close up of the flowers and pearls

Close up of the butterflies that I found at Michaels for $1.99 in the wedding section & I still have 3 more for another project. Yeah me~

Build~A~Bear lo part 1


This is the sketch from Got Sketch that I used. Instead of the Flower next to the title I used Dexter the Dog from Jills Paper Jems Cudley Cuties CD

If your wondering ... why a dog on a Build~A~Bear layout? Well, my daughter chose to make a dog instead of a Bear. These pictures are from our trip to Myrtle Beach, SC & our first trip to Build~A~ Bear Workshops... She had alot of fun & had to have all kinds of stuff as you can see some of her choices in the first picture in the layout, she is on my hubby's shoulder & you can't hardly see him.



Full layout ~ Click picture to see it better .



A look at page 1

Just thought I would share ~ 2nd post today

My crafting kitty.
She just recently started jumping onto the counter and sitting there while I scrap, well she actually tries to sit on what I am scrapping. LOL

This is my daughters scrapbook layout, she is right there beside me crafting away! She has now graduated to rummaging through all my draws, using my punches, markers & now she is using my chalks. Eeek! Little scared about that one... don't want holes dug into my chalks

SOUS ~ Chalk art



This is my take on this weeks sketch over @ SOUS ... & they added on a challenge to use 4 papers w/ different patterns....
Well, that is usually a big challenge for me, but I managed to get 5 on this one. The base paper, the photo mats, bracket page element, the chalk - ric-rac & flourish are from a very faint patterned paper & lastly the square under the photos. Yeah I managed to do it with out hating the layout. I actually love the way it came out.
It is raining so badly here today & hubby is home to hang with the kiddies, so I think it is a great day to get some scrapping done! ~ the heck with cleaning the house!! LOL
I started working on another layout last night with a sketch from Got Sketch by Valarie Salmon it is a 6 photo sketch - love multi photo sketches!
