Good morning - almost afternoon to you! The girls are playing nicely and quietly together - HALLELUJAH!!! Okay that just ended - I hear fighting coming this way! Now they are beside me - making necklaces - we'll make this short and sweet before we lose the whole thing! I have been crazy busy and after cleaning up the house like a mad woman this morning I am now ready to bring ya'll another blog post and show you a layout and cards I made! Lucy at My Sketch World has made another one of those sketches that I will be going back to again and again.
This is my take on the sketch - I used corrugated cardboard to make hearts instead of triangles for my banner. I used My Mind's Eye papers - I love the orange and blues together! This is my family minus me (aren't they a good looking group of people?!) and the fact that they all wore matching colors without my prompting - I am impressed! What a great picture that makes for the scrapbook?!?!?!
all for one FAMILY one for all
In my new pursuit of cutting down on my scraps pile I am making myself make a few cards after I finish each layout. So far I have about a 80% success rate. Not too bad - I hope this sticks - it isn't making a dent in the scraps pile but it is also not adding to the scraps pile either.The first card I made from my scraps is for my dad - his birthday and father's day are so close together they are celebrated together. Yep - he got jipped! The scrolly piece was what I cut off from the family piece on the layout and the grandpa sticker was in the Mind's Eye set I got. The {heart} you stamp is from Micheal's dollar section.
I made the second card for the pile I donate to the church. The scrolly we are piece is - yep you guessed it - the other half of the family piece. The happy letter stickers are Rusty Pickle, the ribbon is unknown, and the for you stamp is another one from Micheal's dollar section.
