Happy 4th Birthday!

I made this layout to go with the theme of his 4th Birthday Party - Super Mario Brothers- I cut the Mario and Luigi using MTC and the font is Mario Brothers as well.

U R Beary Special 2 Me!

I know it is not Valentine's Day yet, but I just got home from my son's play school Valentine's Day Party.  Here is the layout I made for him for this Valentine's Day!  It is the Stuck on U Sketch from February 5, 2010.  Here is my take on the sketch. Now I just need the pictures!



The bears and the cupid bow and arrow are from The paper piecing beehive http://thepaperpiecingbeehive.blogspot.com/

I also used my cuttlebug: forest branches and spots and dots on the 2x2 squares
Plantin School Book was used for some of the lettering
I also distressed and inked the edges of the background paper
SCAL2 was used for "Beary" and "Special"

Picture Frames

I made these frames for my Mom and my Mother in Law for Christmas.  At the top I etched a short quote and then etched my boys hand prints and the year at the bottom! They were a big hit!

My Mom's read "A moment in my arms, Forever in my Heart" and my Mother in Law's read "We do not remember days, we remember moments".


I used Vinyl and Armour Etch to etch the frames

Make the Cut


Snow much fun

I loved this sketch from Stuck on Your Sketches.  Over Christmas Holidays, we took our oldest son downhill skiing for the first time.  It was something that he and I got to do together!  I know the one picture with the brown background doesn't really go but it was such a cute picture of him all ready to hit the hill! We had so much fun!

SCAL 2 for the red bubble border
This is of my youngest son when he was first born.  The pages were another Stuck on Your Sketch and the idea of clock and baby buggy were lifted from a page Sandy Windsor had done.  The clock is symbolic because for the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy we were told he was going to deliver.  Finally, one day before my due date he decided to make his arrival!  What a Blessing!
