Fat Lips

Hello and happy Wednesday, nice temps as we are about to change seasons.  Today's project share is the LO documenting Baby Girl's wisdom teeth removal.  I used more paper from an older kit, a metal tag that has been in my stash for years, cut the title and lips using the Don Juan Cricut cartridge and the Dr. Check-up cartridge for the teeth.  Even though I have completed some LOs outside of her high school album I am still planning to have it completed by next month! 

Thank you for your visit, hope you will come back soon, I will be sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday.

Yes We Did

Its cool and chilly on a beautiful Tuesday morning; I'm still dragging along but I'm still thankful.  I don't want to take anything for granted because I know that others are going through too.  Today I'm sharing a LO that I started last night and finished this morning.  I completed this LO for a challenge over at Stampin Dymonz Scrap Shack, I didn't make the posting deadline but I did finish it.  The LO uses pictures taken at the two grassroot rallies that I attended during the election ; along with a picture of the map showing the electoral votes.  I used don juan to cut the title,  doodlecharms for the flower border and the I Voted was a digital freebie (I can't remember who offered it though) Take care and enjoy your day.

White Linen

Today I'm sharing a LO where I used one of my latest little tools, the SEWeasy. The verdict is still out; I'm not sure whether I like it or not but I guess since I can't seem to get my sewing machine going this is it. The pictures in the LO were taken in July 2010 at an All White fundraising event that DH and I attended. The photographer wasn't very good so the pictures aren't that good. I completed this LO for an All Stitched Up challenge over at Scraps of Color

Recital Practice

Today I'm sharing a LO of DD practicing for her upcoming piano recital. This is the first LO that I've done of her practicing the piano even though I've taken other pictures. I'm thinking about doing a mini of her using the pictures and pictures I have of her playing the clarinet. This LO started out originally for a sketch challenge and a monthly challenge; needless to say it just didn't work out. I'm beginning to think that I'll never be able to step out of the box with my scrappin' venture. The LO inspiration is from the The Sketch Inspiration site.

First Day of School

This LO is of DD on the first day of school, I adapted this LO from a layout in the Annie's Attic Scrapbooking With Cricut book. I'm still not convinced that this book was a good investment but since I used a coupon I won't complain. I like how the LO came out and it didn't take me long to put it together once I selected the paper. I can never really share specific details because I always use a 'hodge podge' of paper stacks, single sheets and misc. stuff that were previously purchased. I can say that I used the Old West cartridge for 2010 and Don Juan for the 1st Day!

Jamestown

I created this LO for my DD's 4th grade school album. The school's 4th graders went to Jamestown for a Fall fieldrip as part of their Virginia Studies (Social Studies) class. I used the Cursive 101 cartridge for the first time for the globe; I'm on a roll using some of my cartridges for the first time!

The Perrys

The picture used in the LO is of my DD, DH and myself taken at a family reunion in Chicago. I used this LO for a Technique Tuesday Challenge over at Scraps of Color, the challenge was to used pattern paper background. I used paper from a heirloom paper pack and a MS family punch and the cricut cartridge Don Juan for the title.

Christmas in July

Over at Scraps of Color, the weekend card challenges for the month of July was to create various holiday cards. Card challenges included a blue Christmas card, a card with a Christmas tree (non-green), a card with no red or green and finally a Kwanzaa card. Don't be surprised if you receive one of these cards this holiday season!

2 Good Men

This is a Father's Day LO of my father and husband. The pictures were taken in my parent's yard on Father's Day. I completed this LO as part of a cricut challenge over at Scraps of Color.

Twinkle Toes

I created this LO as part of a Technique Tuesday challenge over at Scraps of Color. It is a LO of our twin shoes aka happy feet. During a recent shopping trip DD and I came home with sketchers!

TIME

Time, where does it go? The pictures in this LO definitely shows signs of change and maturity! The first picture was taken in late 1998 and the other just last month in April. I completed this LO for a "Technique Tuesday" challenge over at Scraps of Color. I used sketch #28 over at Creative Genealogy Scrapbooking, I have used Rowena's sketches for several of my LOs.

Dinner Celebration

I am happy to report that this is my 20th completed LO for 2010! I completed and submitted this LO for a challenge over at SOC as part of their Technique Tuesday challenges. In keeping with the celebration of DD's 9th birthday this LO includes the picture taken on her actual birthday. Due to a snow storm we had to reschedule her party but DH shoveled us out enough so that we could take her out to her favorite place to eat O'Charleys!

Happy Birthday

The pictures in this LO were taken at my birthday celebration earlier this month. I was totally surprised and caught off guard as my son planned this special celebration for me! He was actually able to pull off the surprise of all surprises which makes this birthday the best ever!
