Epic 24/7 - Boys Rule

Good Morning!! Today I would love to share my latest project with you for my guest spot using the kit from Boys Rule. I wanted to use this collection from Simple Stories, but was a little stuck for an idea. When that happens I find a challenge for myself. This challenge was to do a block design. My favourite part of a project is embellishing, so I loved playing with all the stickers and sayings. My son is a typical sports fan! Hockey, football, soccer.. if it's sports, he's watching, so I wanted to show his passion in my layout. The sayings on the cards kept me smiling all day.

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Kraft Dots/Stripes, Black Dots/Stripes/ Simple Stories Say Cheese
Stickers: Snap Stickers "Him"/ Simple Stories, Dimensional Stickers/ Pebbles Inc, Alphabet Stickers/Doodlebug
Cards: Snap Cards "Him"/ Simple Stories
Frames: Capture Photo Frames/ Basic Grey

Santa's List - Let's Get Sketchy

Ho Ho Ho!!! Is everyone ready for Christmas? Gifts all bought and wrapped? I know you must have some free time then to play along with us at Let's Get Sketchy, lol. This was a fun sketch to work with. I grabbed my photo box and the first thing I pulled out where these studio photos of Ryan back from 2005. I took him for his school pictures and when he saw the Snowman backdrop, he just had to have the photo taken. I thought it was so darn adorable! Wish I could convince him to do it again now that he's 20! So Merry Christmas friends and family!!! Have a very Happy Holiday Season!

Home Sweet Home - ScrapFIT Workout #71

Home Sweet Home. We spend many hours at home, so let's surround ourselves with things we love. This week at ScrapFIT our challenge is to create something for your home. It could be a banner, something to display a photo..anything that you can create with paper! Sounds like fun right? I decided to decorate a giant clothes pin that I've had sitting in my office for the past few months that I've been saving for this project. I think this is the first home decor item I have ever done!!! It was quite a feat. The first time I did it, I glued everything on upside down and had to take it all apart. I was pretty proud of my first attempt at home decor. Now...I'm thinking...what else can I decorate? Come by and join in our workout this week. Our sponsor  for this challenge is Paper Issues.

Home - ScrapFit Workout # 70

Do you remember when the hot new way to take photos was the Polaroid?  Well, our workout today at ScrapFIT is a tribute to the Polaroid. Now the fun part is...making your own Polaroid Photo.  Our sponsor for this workout is My Favorite Things. Stop by and join in the fun! I loved this challenge. I did a photo of our "Home Away From Home" , our cabin.  My journaling reads:

Our cabin is our home away from home.

We spend alot of our time there in the summer. 

This is a place where we go to relax, to collect our thoughts, 

To read, to walk, to enjoy nature and just be ourselves.

You don't need to dress up, old clothes are best.

There are even days you may want to spend the day in your pajamas.

Your going to get dirty riding in the mud, or playing at the beach.

Your going to be so relaxed sitting on the deck drinking your coffee, or sitting by the fire late into the night.

This is our home away from home.

Now stop by and make your own Polaroid, just like the ones below in Sarah's layout or come see what our designers came up for this challenge!

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You - Creative Scrappers

I was so honored to be a Guest Designer today at Creative Scrappers. I got to work with a sketch by the extremely talented Amarilys Doria . If you know me, you know I love doilies and layers, so I was so excited to get to play with this sketch. My little Daisy was at the lake with us for four days, and boy did we have fun. I just love this little girl, and I'm blessed she loves me back triple fold.

This is what life is all about - ScrapFIT workout #66

A few weeks ago we went to the cabin for my birthday. It was Daisy's first time there. It's one acre of fenced pure puppy playground. Millions of pinecones, billions of sticks, and no end of places to play. There wasn't a moment when Daisy didn't have a stick in her mouth. We must have gone for at least 30 walks in four days, lol. What I love about her and what dogs can teach us is to live in the moment. Enjoy each and every minute of every day. No stress, no worry. I call her my therapy dog because I'm learning so much about myself and she is teaching me so many things. This layout I did for our challenge this week at ScrapFIT. Our creative trainer Diana challenged us to use the following color palette to create a project. Join us this week for some fun and great prizes from My Divine Inspiration Etsy Shop.
