Starting Over

Becky Higgins sketch. I'm fairly happy with this one. Love that I finally used the tag stickers from oh, 2003?

Adapted a Becky Higgins sketch and took out the journaling blocks (didn't feel the need to say, "Look, fish!") Color is still off, the background paper is light blue.

Love the apron lace border punch. Another BH sketch, slightly changed.

Really old Creating Keepsakes monthly kit paper, cutout and stickers. I waffle back and forth about putting a cricut cut helipcopter in the opening on page 2.

a quick one. I was trying to figure out where to put the journaling and ended up writing along the swirls in the paper.

Just a little story about Brandon's change in attitude towards school. Do I get bonus points for using everything from the line that I bought from 2peas this summer? After this layout, I must say that while doodlebug rubons are awesome, they most definitely have a shelf life. I spent more time prying wayward letters off the layout than I did DESIGNING the layout.

One of my favorite picturs of Jacob from this year. Doodlebug from 2peas this summer.

H'ween Cupcakes

Going backwards a little bit, but here are my Halloween cupcakes. Really want someone to make a jumbo grass tip, though!

Wedding Cards

OK, my first post (finally) and my first points that count - 1! Woo hoo! Love to use my cuttlebug folders to make quick cards. Needed a 50th anniversary card for tomorrow, so made a generic wedding card while I was at it.

A quick one about chalk and water making Jacob happy this summer. Sassafrass paper flumoxoms me. I have no idea how to use it. Project 100 points: 1

This one came together super fast. The title is actually felt. Happy I got to use this paper, since I bought it specifically for a pic of us. Didn't expect to be using pink, though. Project 100 points: 1

Picture from 2006 that I've been holding onto. Not super pleased with the colors, but it's ok. Pagemaps sketch. Project 100 points: 1

I think the red letters probably overwhelm the other reds, but I kind of like it. The green is from the new MME pad. Pagemaps sketch. And no, I really cannot get things straight. I think I'm going to have to start taking the pics outside, because it is really not a puke green color. Project 100 points: 1

I was just intending to pick the papers for this one and ended up making a quick layout. The title is one of the MME ones from the peachycheap order and the paper is MM Giggle Kids from Archinvers and I just flipped the piece I cut off and used the backside design for a border. The paper really is a nice spring green, I promise. I'm liking using the Bazzill edges for a quick finish. Project 100 points: 1.

You have to look hard, but it does say "and" between the words! I went to change it, but it meant tearing the paper so I decided it stayed that way! Not sure I 100% like the big letters. Becky Higgins sketch with the photo on the right flipped. Project 100 points: 1

Just a simple one with ten things about Jacob at age 10. I have one of Brandon somewhere. Used a piece of Shabby Princess paper from 2006ish. Project 100 points: 1
