Coral layouts.

Time for another 10 layouts to add to the already huge photo albums. I have been trying to scrap some older pictures of my oldest son from the many visits we had prior to getting full custody in 2007. It is crazy to think he is 11, I really don't know where the years went.

A Little Dabble...

On very few occasions I have to make a card. Now I am not a card maker by any means but I like to give a homemade card for any occasion I can. One of my very good friends got married yesterday, and I whipped up this card to give to him and his lovely bride. Having all boys I do not get to use pink very often and when I do I feel like I go a bit over board. I think for having such a short time frame to complete it, because I procrastinate, it came out very nice.

Thanks for stopping by, and checking out my dabbles.

Perfectly Pearl.. YAY!!

Another series down and another 10 sketches complete. Here are my Pearl layouts... Lots of fun stuff in these pictures, visits from family, days on the lake, a few birthdays, pregnancy photos, and really old photos of my now husband and his son from when he was 3 or 4... Just great photos all around

Getting Crafty with ATCs

Time for another round of ATCs, this swap was a Fall theme. Always getting to take creative liberty with the theme, I choose to do a campfire under a full moon hidden by some clouds. I stepped out of my comfort zone and used some chalk for the wisps of smoke, and was that an interesting time figuring out just how to get them light enough to bring across what I wanted. I eat lunch with my friend at a park every week and found some sticks that would work perfectly for my roasted marshmallow to sit on. I have never used a real life element on any kind of page. I think they came out pretty well definitely a step up from the last two I completed.

Mid Week Mojo Series Pearl #1

Another week, Another Mojo sketch. I truly enjoy each Wednesday at 10 am when the new sketch is revealed. It just shows that no matter how long you do this craft you can always go a different direction. This weeks sketch is no different, just a simple layout with minimal elements really highlights the picture. I chose to use this wonderful picture of my sister and brother in law walking hand in hand with Andru during their visit in May. Andru was so happy to see his Nina and Uncle Sean. 

Turquoise Layouts

Here they all in all their glory.. After a four day marathon scrapping feast, I am Totally Turquoise! Thankfully all the layouts this series are one pagers, well except one that is the Learning is Fun one.



Amethyst Layouts

I am currently 40 weeks behind on my mojo sketches from http://www.scrapbooksteals.com/. A weekly sketch is given each Wednesday and it is up to "us" to follow the sketch or use as a jumping off point. I have a very hard time using the sketch to the exact specifications so mine are always a little different.

I am very happy to be back in the game and working on my insanely huge pile of pictures. It has gotten so bad I rarely take pictures of anything besides the holidays or new adventures.

Here are my 10 Amethyst layouts and my take on this weeks The Paper Girls Challenge blog post.
