Let's Ride Layout 2

 


We took our kids on a 58 mile snowmobile ride and I took enough pictures to need 4 scrapbook pages so here is my second set.  These turned out so fun!  If you want more info on these pages and the file I used, search for Let's Ride Layout to see the first set.  It give more info there.  :-)

Henry's Lake Layout

 
 


Last year we took a Spring vacation and went to to a cabin by Henry's Lake.  It was the end of May and it was still so cold.  Their was ice still on the lake, but that didn't stop the swans and the pelicans from swimming around.  Brrrr.....  The kids did have a great time climbing around on all the rocks and on the docks.  We even saw some big fish jumping and swimming around.  It was still a nice getaway.  Aren't they all????  LOL.

Wedding Tile



Here is a tile I created for my friend's daughter who just got married.  If I remember correctly, this monogram font and modifications of it are found on the Make-the Cut forum.  Just search the forum for Regal font.  Some wonderful people have cleaned these up and made them "monogram" friendly.  Thanks to all those that did that!  :-)

Painting Blues Layout



I just couldn't resist.  I won 3 file sets from Scraptastical Kreations and picked this set because we had just painted my daughter's room and I knew it would be perfect.  So.... as soon as I got this set, I had to give it a try.  I think it turned out adorable!  I love the little overalls on the bear and the cute little paint roller and cans.  How fun are those!    I can see the splats, paint cans, and brush on art layouts or splats even on water layouts, the stool and ladder on men's layouts, and the paint cans would even be adorable on a coloring eggs layout for Easter.  Such fun possibilities.  I'm always looking for additional ways to use files that I have.  This little bear would be adorable in any color of overalls for any occasion or how about the little overalls hanging on a cloths line for a "Hang in there" card.  Fun fun fun.  Anyway, I just had a few minutes today and wanted to try one of her files. Thanks so much! I love it!

Let's Ride Layout

 

Ok...so noone seems to have any snowmobiling files and so I set out to make my own the other day.  I think they turned out really cute.  I love the little snowmobile and to be honest, if I do it again, I'll use it but put something else riding it.  LOL.  I've created so many bear projects lately, that I'm ready for a change.
:-) So later that same night, I got some mouse birthday cuts ready to use but....that's another post when I cut them out and use them!  Anyway, the helmet and bear head actually came from Cloud 9 Designs racing set and the little boots are from Treasure Box Designs Scouting file.  Don't they make cute snow boots?  The bear body parts were just some that I had brought in from another file and manipulated them so the bear is riding the snow machine.  The font was a free one called CK-Honey that I got once upon a time.  Anway, I love how the little snomobile turned out.  This is what I was doing one night while my hubby was watching something that I wasn't that interested in but wanted to be in the same room with him.  :-)

Fun at the Fair Layout



Last weekend, I was making paper piecings for doing this layout with all my left over scraps.  I love to use my scraps for making paper piecings.  Perfect use for them.  Anyway,  I made the little sheep, horse, and cows and figured I'd find some way to use them on this layout for the pictures that I have of my family at the fair.  Well, the other day on facebook, Dawn shared this adorable layout called Fun on the Farm and I LOVED how she did her title.  So I took my piecings that I had done and made a title like hers and ended up with this.  I think it's cute how it turned out.  Thanks for the inspiration Dawn!   What a fun little banner title.  Lovin' it!  I'm going to enter it into the Getting Scrappy Challenge and the Paper Loving Gals challenge for banners too!  Love that!

Spring Bear Layout



They are having a scrap lift challenge on the Scraptasitcal Kreations facebook site and I decided to play along. I only have a couple of her freebie files, so I didn't have much to play with....lol. But one of the files I do have is my absolute favorite flower cut. I love daisy's and this one is my favorite of all the hundreds of flowers that I have. So I added a bear file that I already had and her freebie flower and voila.....here is my "lift" for the challenge. Wish me luck. I'd love to win some of her files to give them a try! :-)  If you'd like to see their layout, click below:
