I Love You

 Scrapping those scraps!  I used nothing but scraps for this adorable page of my daughter playing with some kitty kats.

I started out with the Scrappy Friends sketch from Rochelle:

I dug through all my scraps to find just the right colors.

I added an enamel square with ribbon and scattered a few paw print stickers.

I tried to add some older rub on stitching but I guess they were too old and just wouldn't work.

Oh well, I guess it just means I need to purge the old stuff again.

The Snuggle is Real

 Good morning!  I am lucky enough to have this Labor Day to be able to play all day at my desk.

Here is my first page of the day:

I tried to put this together for this week's challenge from Lasting Memories - Out of your comfort zone - colors.

When I found this set of kitty stickers, I was trying to figure out how to put this page together with all of these odd colors - the pink and blue and gray was cute, but then the brown and orangey colors were throwing me off.

I think it came together okay. 

And I used a chipboard title and I had stashed.

Picture Perfect

Lucky enough to have this long weekend to work on my pictures.

Here is a a fun page I finished up using a lot of old stash: 

I used this Tic Tac Toe board from Scrap With Stacy for this month's Scrappy Friends challenge:

I went right down the middle  - 

brackets

gems/ pearls

I dug through the stash and pulled out some pearl flourishes and pearl bling.  

I also added a bit of lace and some ribbon and a few flowers from different collections. 

Even the title has been in the stash for a while - from Dusty Attic - and I used Nuvo Drops.

Off to get some sleep to be ready for a long scrapping day tomorrow!

Happy 20th Birthday

 I forgot I had these 2 random pictures from my daughter's 20th birthday party!

I used up some Fancy Pants birthday papers, candle stickers and a really cool banner I found at Hobby Lobby a while ago.

I am using this page for the Tic Tac Toe challenge from Scrap With Stacy - Scrappy Friends challenge:

I went straight across the middle:

Staying at the Boardwalk

 Good morning!  I'm waiting for the rest of my vacation pictures to come in - next week!

In the meantime, I am working on the memorabilia from our trip that I always make sure to add to my albums.  We started at Disney's Boardwalk Villas this time.  A big beautiful resort, right on the water.

Here is the map, little notes and notices from around the room and a pic of the boardwalk itself.

These fun elements are all from the "Checking into the Boardwalk" digital kit from Kellybell Designs.

Printed and hand cut all this morning - (while fending off curious kittens!)

I used a few pop dots on some of the elements.  

There are so many great pieces to this kit - I cannot wait to get the rest of the pictures of the room, the pool and the resort itself.

Stop by and check out the rest of the kit!

Dear Santa....

 I'm hoping that i can catch up on all my Christmas pictures before I have another stack from this year's party!

I need to either use or purge a lot of Christmas stuff.

I used some scraps of papers, a few stickers, and some embroidery floss.

For this week's challenge at Lasting Memories, we were challenged to use 3's:

Floral patterned paper

Hearts

Washi tape.

I also used some buttons and my heart punch.

So happy to be using some things that have been buried for a while.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Sweet Tweets

 This page is about this ADORABLE little bird that kept interrupting our meetings at work:

She kept appearing in the window of our conference room and would actually bat her wings on the window to get our attention!

And it worked...lol

We could not focus on anything but her.

She would fly away and we would just keep watching for her to appear again.

She definitely kept us entertained for quite a while
