Hop, Skip & Jump

Brianna had a blast learning to play hopscotch! I have a sequence of
pictures of her jumping and they are hilarious, especially when scrolled
through very quickly! Needless to say we had some good laughs
with these! I did selected the best pics of the bunch, notice the air shot!?

Of course I used the Emma's Shop collection by Crate Paper, it
is so perfect for these pictures! Especially the hopscotch card!
I actually used so much of this paper line in my last projects
that I had to go out and buy more paper! EEEK! Totally not like me,
but when I like something, I really LIKE it! Ciao for now!!!!

Super Reader

Just sharing a layout that went up on the Jillibean Soup blog today.
Danika has made so much progress this year reading, she
started the year with being able to read slowly and with our help,
now she reads pre-teen princess books on her own! She always
has her head burried in a book, reading away, I love it!

I created the merit badge using a Jillibean Soup packaging,
it's a great way to use pretty packaging! Hope this inspires you
to recycle pretty packaging into something fun and unique!

Cloud 9 Card

This card was posted on the Jillibean Soup blog today. I love the color
combo of teal, kraft and white. Lots of my favorite things on here,
banner, clouds and kraft border on kraft. This card was created with
the Pasta Fagioli collection. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog!

Pucker Up!

Do you ever create a layout that just makes you
extra happy? This does layout does exactly that for me,
I look at it and it just makes me smile. First of all the
picture of my girls on Valentine's Day, saweet! Next
the combo of new and old Jillibean Soup supplies,
extra saweet! Finally, those ribbon flowers, I
am so thrilled at how they turned out, saweeet!
This layout was created for Jillibean Soup.

Love Blooms Here

Here is a recent project I created for Jillibean Soup.
I used various lines of coordinating papers, embelishments
and twine. I found this wood flower stand at Michael's,
now it sitting on my desk and the perfect spot for those fave pictures.

Another try...

Seems like blogger ate my last blog post.
Oh well, here's a 2 in 1 special of the day instead.

Hold on to your pants, I created a 2 pager!!! SHOCK!
I know, pretty crazy, huh? Well I love it, had fun doing it
and will do it again. This layout was created for Jillibean Soup,
I used the Spotted Owl Collection, love this fun, bright,
cheery line, perfect to display these pictures of Danika's first party.


This layout was created with a Studio Calico kit for
the NSD stamping challenge, I love the bee stamp, so cute!

Green Thumb

Three posts in one week, what's going on!!! LOL!!!
I just had a very productive weekend participating in
the NSD challenges on Studio Calico. This one was
created for the stamping challenge. I love these clouds!!!

Know This

I love this picture of Danika, she is soooo big!
Had time to play with another Studio Calico kits, love these
mix of papers. I also love the little chipboard shape
I altered using washi tape. I was also inspired
by all the butterfly die cuts shapes I'm seeing on so
many layouts, I got to put my Slice to good use!

Time Square

Here's a recent layout I created using Studio Calico's
Metropolitan kit. I love this BG paper and I've been waiting
for the perfect pictures to use it! These pics of my
recent trip to NY city were perfect, Time Square is
so totally fantastic, lots of noise, people..the energy is fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by!
