Another Grandson Layout

    I have six grandsons - this is the 2nd one. His name is Clark. He was playing with his Daddy when Daddy tripped and knocked Clark down and landed on him! Of course they were at my house when it happened! I thought we were going to the hospital! Look at his poor face! It is hard to see but his head even up in his hair is bleeding! Daddy was crying - Clarkie was crying - Mommy was holding Clarkie - Granny was running around getting ice and wet cloths! Once we got him cleaned up and Daddy sent to the other room so Clark would calm down - crying Daddies are hard on kids - we decided to call the pediatrician and continue with ice and wet cloths. Everything turned out fine and dandy! Whew!

Scrapbook Layout!

   This is what I was working on yesterday. I still take way too much time thinking about stuff to scrapbook and not enough time actually doing it! My daughter got the "Boys Will Be Boys" cartridge and I used it to cut the letters and the dump trucks (it does not have a digger on it!) I used my Gypsy to make a big tire and used hide contour to keep the center from being cut out so I could use it to journal on. I didn't use any fancy papers or anything except a couple of strips of road stickers. I'll probably put his name on the truck.

Too cute!

Crafty Day Today!

  Today was a very nice day playing in my scrap room. I spent some time with a grandson and decided it was time to do a layout of his favorite thing! He loves backhoes, dump trucks, and mickers (his way of saying mixers)! We found a backhoe that was parked and no one was around. I let him poke around and play while I took a bunch of pictures. He was totally thrilled except that he wanted to drive it! Luckily I won that argument! I'll post pictures of the layout tomorrow but here are a couple of Criss enjoying the backhoe.

Isn't he cute?

Look how little he is!

Hello!

   Wow! I have not posted in almost 10 days! What is up with that? I am blaming it on the end of year craziness at school! I have not been very productive in my scrap room this past week so I have no new pictures to post. I am happy to say that most of my end of year paperwork is finished at school! Yay! I will try to have something to post for tomorrow. Have a great night!

Another Challenge for MPS!

    One of Robyn's challenges was to create a 3-D project. This is what I came up with. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More to cut a shopping bag as a gift bag for my daughter. Then I used Mother's Day Bouquet to create a set of flowers to stack and bend up for more dimension. I punched a hole in the center of the stack to add a brad as a flower center. The "A" came from Calligraphy Collection. I think it came out pretty well. Thanks for looking!

Challenges!

  I wanted to enter some challenges for NSD.  Robyn, aka My Pink Stamper, has had a challenge each hour for 12 hours yesterday in honor of National Scrapbook Day! The previous post has two of the projects and here are a couple more. I am going to try to link them to My Pink Stamper's blog.

Kraft paper challenge (kraft card base, cream layer stamped, twine wrapped around cream layer, two tiny rhinestones)

Summer themed project (blue card base, white strip cuttlebugged, shiny sun from Accent Essentials,  rounded square from Mini Monograms, stamp I've had for years.)

Happy Mother's Day!

   I was able to visit with my mother all by myself for a while today! That was very nice! Then my phone rang and it was my daughter. She was at my house to bring me Mother's Day gifts and I was not home! LOL! Call ahead, Aimee, you never know where I'll be!
   I have busy crafting in my scrap room! I tried to catch up on blogs I follow yesterday to see what everyone was up to for NSD. I decided to do some of the challenges that were posted.  Then my camera turned up MIA! I think I'll use my ipod to try and take some pictures. Nothing can be as bad as that dinky little digital camera I have! I may have to invest in something a little more pricey in the near future! Stay tuned and we'll see how the ipod does!

Breast  cancer project (white card base, pink patterned paper, white cardstock cuttlebugged with Swiss dots, ribbon from Cindy Loo - I cut 2 and stacked them with pop dots,  "believe" stamp)

Cupcake project ( blue card base, cupcake from American Alphabet - I used sparkly paper on top layer, "Sweet Birthday Wishes" from a cupcake stamp set) 

I've been having issues with my photography. Well, you can't really call it photography 'cause I am really bad at it! I took these cards outside and used my ipod to take the pictures. I think the colors are better but the shadows are worse. I guess I need a class! LOL!
