Pinewood Derby Layout

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wasn't feeling very well today so I just sat around and made paper piecings and finished a few layouts.  This one turned out so adorable.  I won this file set called "Race Time" from Designs on Cloud 9 and I'm just now getting around to using it.  Better late than never.  I love pulling out "new" old things.  LOL.  I've had this set for a few months and hadn't used it yet so.... I thought it would be great for my son's pinewood derby pictures and I was right.  I love these little piecings and the little bear and the car turned out so stinkin cute.  All the piecings except for the bear laying on the fire extinguisher are from this set.  This is the first time I've used one of her files...I only have this one and a couple of freebies, but I think it turned out really cute!  I was excited to use it and have the pages turn out so fun!  Everything cut well and was sized just right.  If you'd like to see more of her files, jump on over to Designs on Cloud 9 and look around.  I know I'm going to now!  :-)

Bugaboo Bee Bears

 

Aren't these bears cute!  I haven't had much time to scrapbook lately, but today I had a couple of minutes so I pulled out this digital Bugaboo stamp that I won a couple of months ago.  Talk about adorable images....if you haven't been to http://www.bugaboostamps.com/, then you need to check them out.  I had no idea who they were, but I won a contest and got 7 free images so I went to their site to look around.  Boy was it hard to choose just 7!  However, this is one of the lucky little guys that I choose and today I decided to take a couple of minutes and make him out of my scraps.  I'm sure he'll go on a summer page somewhere!  I often make a piecing here and there to use later when I get a chance to actually scrapbook.  This little guy was todays winner.  I think he's adorable!  Thanks Bugaboo.....I will be back this fall to further check out your site and all it's adorable images when I can browse at my leisure!  Glad I found you!

Snow Beauty Layout

 

 

Here are some more winter pictures.  I've been trying to do a little catch up scrapbooking.  I was able to get 29 pictures on 5 pages.  Woohoo.  On these 2 pages, I only have 8 because I wanted to keepthe pictures big enough to really appreciate all the snow, but on the other 3 pages I was able to get 19.  Yeah!  I may catch up eventually....but I still have a ways to go!  One event at a time right...... have a great day!

UR One in a Melon Layout

 

 

This layout was so much fun.  I love "shopping my stash" and using what I have on hand.  I like how the border paper somewhat matches my Grandmother's shirt and it was in my stash...I didn't buy a thing!  Love it!  Anyway,  I had some fun pictures of my husbands grandmother that I wanted to scrapbook.  She is going to be 95 this year and is such a doll!  I always tell him that if I had known how wonderful his Grandma was, I would have married him just for her!  LOL.  She is an amazing woman and one that I am so greatful that I have had the opportunity to know and love.  Anyway, Treasure Box Designs offered the Tutti Fruity set as a freebie not long ago and I had seen this title before and knew that it just "fit" for my Grandma.  So.....I set out making this layout.  The little whole watermelon is a freebie from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and I just used the same little bear from the other set to "wrap" around the whole watermelon.  I know it's silly, but I like the "in" part of the title actually on the paper piecing as part of the title.  Cute cute.   Anyway, I like how this one turned out and fitting as she is One in a Million!

Thank Ewe Card

Here is a cute little Thank Ewe or I Love Eew card.  Perfect for that teacher at the end of the year or for just a note to a friend.  Fun fun.  The little sheep is a Treasure Box Designs file.  I love her sets!  Cute huh!

Father's Day Card

 

I won a contest on NSD at Pumpkin Spice and got to choose a prize!  How fun is that!  I chose the Happiest Moments stamp set by My Pink Stamper from their store here.  I love it and can I say that they had SUPER fast shipping!  Wow.  Love that!  They had some wonderful items in their store, but because I don't have many stamps, I chose this set because it covers the basic holidays.  I have to start somewhere!  LOL.   I'm picturing Valentine's Day cards, Easter goody bags, Halloween treats etc. with this stamp set! The asked me to create a project with the prize I won, so I decided to make a Father's Day Card since it is fast approaching.  Masculine cards are the hardest for me but....I like how this one turned out.  I had such fun doing easel cards for Mother's Day that I decided to do another one for Father's Day.  I still need to make my Father-in-Law a card but at least I have one ready to go and it's not last minute!  Hope you like it!  The pocket cut is from a freebie file from Designs on Cloud 9 that she shared a while ago.  I think it works great for a manly card!
