The Cuttlebug Blog Spot "Sketch"

On the Cuttlebug Spot we had to follow a sketch. The interpretation can be how you see it! Of course mine is very simple! Lol. I made this for my Aunt Ruth Ann, a.k.a "Aunt Fannie", because she invited my son and I to her house to pick fresh strawberries in June! Again sooo far behind on stuff. So I tried my Zing embossing powder on the Thank You but I think I over heated it! 1st time I even tried to use the stuff since I got it in June. Practice makes perfect. It really won't matter to her she will be grateful and surprised to receive a "Thank You" card! Any suggestions or comment welcomed!

"A Color Challenge" MPS~ Pink, Brown, Orange and Green

Here is my take on My Pink Stampers color challenge. We have a great friend who just had a baby girl, 6 months ago~ yes I am a little behind. Her name is Olivia. I put an "O" for her name and embossed it! So I found this glittery paper put it on the brown and just embellished just a little. Hope you like it. Have a safe and festive 4th of July!

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge "New Arrival"

This is our little boy's picture that was taken in the hospital when he was a day old. He looks like he is so swollen and ready for a fight! I put mine and his bracelets on here, since I seem to save so many things. I love the pea pod guy and sweet pea from the  New Arrival Cartridge. I am looking at this now thinking why didn't I shadow anything???  But I made those with scraps and didn't have extra paper. Anyway hope you enjoy. Thanks Emma, I got another page for him because of you!

Cuttle Bug Spot "Celebrate Independence Day"

I made these for my son's teachers at his preschool for their Thank You gifts. We had sooo many snow days to make up because of all the cancellations, that we literally got out last week! So since it was so close to the 4th of July, I made them red, white and blue! I got clear paint cans from a local craft store, filled them with some yummy Lindt chocolate ( the colors of the chocolate balls where red white and blue, which is hard to see). My wonderful sister-in-law (my scrapping buddy) figured out for me how to make a gift card holder! Thanks Chell! So I embossed them with my wonderful Cuttlebug I got for Mothers Day! Thank You to my wonderful son and husband! I even made sure I picked a gift card that was red! Lol. Hope you enjoy them because the teachers already did!

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge~ "Doodlecharms"

Again Thank goodness for Emma because my son has another page done in his scrapbook! This week she chose "Doodlecharms"~ I am fortunate to have this cartridge.It is not one of my favorites. I chose the little pumpkins! Our son has 2 wonderful aunts, Aunt Na and Aunt Chell, who bought him to little sleepers. He was only a month old for his 1st Halloween. Sorry about my picture because my camera takes horrible picture of scrapbook pages! Ugh! Thanks Flowerdisco for telling me not to stress about not having the scrapbook done~ it really helped.  Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Peachy Keen Challenge #31

Thank goodness for these challenges because otherwise my son wouldn't have anything done in his scrapbook! I hope this fits the criteria of the challenge. I have had his birth announcement for OVER 4 years now and finally it has a home! I hope I can do more challenges because I already have a "CRATE" full of pictures and little mementos! Gotta go to bed now~ very late here!
