My sweet boy!

I was just visiting the blog of a friend of mine... TraceyT and she had posted a converstation with her 2 yr old. It reminded me of this chat with my 2 1/2 hr old son...
My DD and I had been watching Anne Of Green Gables... she is now a HUGE fan!!

DD says: Mommy, Gilbert Blyth is so beautiful!
Momy: boys aren't beautiful, they are called handsome!
DS: Like me Mommy? I'm handsome?
Mommy: Yes Sammy, like you, you are handsome!!
DS: Thank you Mommy!

I just wanna squeeze him!! LOL!
Thanks Tracey for inspiring me to write this! :)

Technique Tip

Have you ever used corrogated cardboard on a LO? This is my new addiction! It looks so cool! If you like dimention and texture, then you have to try this!
Take a piece of cardboard from a box or whatever... tear off the top layer. Using a tool of your choice,(scissors, tweezers etc) tear the layers between the bumps. Then clean it off and add some paint for texture! Layer under a photo and bang, you have a photo mat that is full of dimention!
Have fun!

What's new?

Oh man!! I have so much that is new, I hardly Know where to start!!


** I am so thrilled to say that I was chosen for the design Team at Scrapbook Sussies!!! WOHOOOO!!! It is a montly kit club that has absolutely gorgeous kits! Her kits are like 2 in one!

Paper Jam Studio Designs

I finally got my work done for Paper Jam Studios! i have been dying to dive into the kit and just got to finish with it this weekend! It was AWESOME! I love the piggie tales lines... and I got to work with the Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater line! Kathie Marie had everything from that line in the kit, along with some 7 Gypsies ATC cards and a Junkitz ring to make an altered project. I had a blast! Here's what i came up with! Hope you enjoy!


And here is the minibook I made... Each page has one of the Barn Doors on it and behind the doors is journaling as to each of my 5 blessings of 2007... My family! I'm having so much fun with the minibooks lately! :)









And last but not least, here is the LO I did for Just Cre8... Round 4 in the Idol contest. The challenge was to use a min of 5 photo's on a LO... 2 of which must have 2 or more people in them! EEK! This was tough for me... where I like to do 1 phot' LO's! :) Great challenge though, and I'm reasonably pleased! it got me thru to
Round 4 anyway!

i also want to say a HUGE thank you to Those who have been voting for me at Just Cre8! I am depending on you all! :) This week will be super tough... and I'll need each and every vote!

Ok... so FINALLY blogger seems to be posting pics for me! Here are some of my new goodies! Enjoy! These first 4 pics are of my Paws on Scrapbooking designs for Oct.

This was actually the last one I did... using just the scraps! It's different from my usual style... a bit more free, but it was fun!

This was done for the first Round of Bad Girls as well. i added a few things from my stash.. but had so much fun working with a 8x12 pic!


Our Altered item for Oct was a We Are Memory Keepers Recipe box! I LOVED this!! I want more!!
And finally a card,... It was a fabulous kit! Scrnic Route Ashville line was out paper!
