Snowy Day Layout

Some times you get lucky.  I had these cutouts and they matched perfectly with this scrapbook paper that I have.  It sure made for a quick and easy page.  Sometimes, it's the little things that make you smile.  Love the Christmas lights that my son put on his head.  Silly boy.  Sure do love him.  He brings such love and joy into our home.  So grateful for him.

With Sympathy Card

I just got this new Stampin Up Birds and Branches set and decided to make a sympathy card.  I just love these little birds.  We just lost my niece to covid so I made this card for my brother and his wife and thought I would tuck in a check to help with the funeral costs.  I figured that money in this case in lieu of flowers would be appropriate.  I am so over covid and so sad that it is here to stay.  My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones due to this awful virus.  No everyone suffers a loss, but in our case, we did.  I think these birds make a pretty card and look forward to using them again.

Farm stamped card

 I have a friend that just lost her husband.  I have been sending her periodic cards to check in on her.  This is one I made.  One of my first attempts with alcohol markers.  Not the best but kinda fun.

Bunny Box

I had purchased this cute little bunny box awhile ago from My Scrap Chick.  I love their boxes as they are so easy to assemble and super cute to give as a little gift.  Since we were in quarantine, I decided to make these little bunnies to put in my kids Easter baskets to make them look a little more festive.  I also made some cute little frogs and I had some Easter eggs on sticks that I had intended to put on a wreath, but was so glad that I had them on hand.  As it was, their Easter baskets turned out so super cute and they didn't feel bad at all on Easter morning.  I know that isn't the real meaning of Easter, but it is fun to have a little something just for fun after we talk about why we truly celebrate the season.

Kayaking Adventures Layouts

 

I am a few years behind on my scrapbooking but when I found these cute little Kayaking Adventures file on my computer from Little Scraps of Heaven and a summer challenge, I decided to scrapbook this fun weekend.  My silly little snorkie likes to ride on the kayaks with me.  My husband was fishing and caught a fish.  She dove off the kayak to catch the fish and ended up soaked.  She was shivering when I pulled her in but she still wanted that wiggly fish she could see.  It was so funny.  It's nice to have a dog that we can take along.  She also likes to ride in the rhino too.  Now if she would just learn to come when she is called and not be too excited to wander off and see the world......

Perkins Layout

We lost this sweet kitty a couple years ago.  She had been the best cat that we've ever had and she never did wander off.  We found her in the woodshed and half of her backside and body was one big scab.  We think someone threw her out of their car and she had road rash.  My then little girl brought her in so upset because she was hurt and wanted to keep her.  Sadly, people drop cats off out in the country all the time.  I didn't really want to keep her because she was a female and females have kittens ALL the time in the country and I didn't want the vet bill of another cat to spay but she was hurt, my daughter had just lost her cat, and what's a mom to do?  We kept her, nursed her back to health, and had her for many years until she just got really old and sick and we lost her.  She must have already been spayed also because we never did have kittens so we never took her in to be spayed.  She was a great mouser, always stayed home, and allowed my daughter to pack her all over.  She really was a good cat and I'm glad that whoever dropped her off, dropped her at our house afterall.  :-)

Happy Bird Day Photo Collage Card

Oh my gosh!  This has just become my new favorite interactive card!  SOOOOOOO much fun and what an impact!  My FIL's bday is coming up and I wanted to make him a fun card since we are in quarentine and won't be spending the normal time together on his birthday.  I had just receive this die and had these stamps that I thougt would make a fun masculine card.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out.  These little birds were the perfect size to put on the inside and I think it is more masculine than feminine.  I have a hard time with male cards but I think he will like this one.  This is the first one of these I have ever made and it was so fun.  I think I am off to try it again!

Zoe Grace Layout

This was another fun layout I created using a gift kit I received c couple years ago.  I have loved this kit.  It has been so much fun.  After loosing our sweet Coco, we got our cute little Zoe.  Zoe is the first dog that we have ever given a middle name to.  She is just the cutest, but clutziest little thing.  Hence her name, Zoe Grace.  Because she is so NOT graceful.  She just makes us laugh.  Silly little dog.

Congratulations Reveal Wheel Card

I had bought these cute little stamps and the reveal wheel set and wanted to use it.  I must admit, these are so fun!  It takes a bit to get the stamps to line up, but such a fun interactive card.  These are a perfect way to use up those 6x6 paper pads that we all have stashed around.  I love how it turned out.  I wish them luck as they move on to new adventures in their life and hope they enjoy the card and remember us!

12x12 Seasonal Grid Kit Fall

Ok....so I had a friend making these 12x12 grid kits from Mom and Me Scrapbooking   However the price of $25 plus the frame of $20 added up quickly as they had one for each month.  I thought they were so cute so I thought to myself, why don't I make something like that but with just paper and not wood pieces.  This is what I came up with and the bonus is, I didn't buy anything to make it.  It was created with my own stash and cut files I already had.  I insert this into a 12x12 shadow box frame and can change the seasons as I want and the bonus is, they all fit behind each other in the frame!  This is my "fall" version of my grid kit.  The files are Miss Kate's Cuttables and cricut cuts.  I think it turned out cute.  Can't wait to give a set to my secret sister!  What do you think?  Now on to make winter, spring, and summer.

Picture Changer Card - Smile - Bear

I LOVE LOVE these picture changer cards.  How absolutely fun is this?  This has got to be a way to make someone smile.  I think I could play with them all day.  So much fun to make and receive.  It was also a fun way to learn to use more stamps.  I have been a scrapbooker for years, but I have only been a stamper for about a month.  Sometimes, it is fun to do something new.  I am liking it.

Get Whale Card Reveal Wheel

This was such a fun card to make.  When you turn the wheel, it says, "get whale soon."  I must admit, the hardest part of the whole card is actually getting the words to appear in the window the way they are suppose to.  It's close but I still need to find out how to fine tune that process.  Here's to hoping I can find an easy way.   LOL.

I love my dog Coco layout

In January of 2018, we lost my sweet little Coco.  She was honestly the best dog I have ever had.  She followed me everywhere.  Once time she even went up in a 40 foot boom truck and wasn't even scared as long as I was holding her.  She followed me everywhere and was truly my little side kick.  Sadly when she was just over 9 years old she developed kidney failure and her levels were so high they couldn't help her.  I even tried making homemade dog food to get her to eat but she wouldn't have any of it.  She was brave and sweet right up to the end.  I still miss her so much!  She was truly the sweetest and best little companion.

Happy Campers Layout

 I had fun making this layout.  The cute papers all came from a kit I was given at a scrapbooking retreat from my secret sister and the cutouts were some from grab bags I got at Our on a Limb for .80.  They were well worth the money.  So many of the ladies wouldn't even look at them, but since I cut so many files, I had a good idea what some of the pieces would make so I bought them in an unmarked bag.  We often go to a cabin and we spend a lot of time outdoors so I knew that these pine cones would go somewhere.  The colors look like they were made for this page.  Love it!

Congratulations Piggy Card

Sorry about the poor picture, but ..... not sure what happened.  This was one of  first stamping and coloring projects.  I masked off the pig and stamped the fence and then masked the fence and inked the background.  These were so much fun!  I love how it turned out.  I spent a few hours stamping and coloring and it was so fun.  I need to order more stamps!  I never have gotten into stamping because I could never get a clean image.  I bought a Tim Holtz stamping platform and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  Everyone should have one.  What a whole new world this is to me.  So much fun!  Hope you like it.
