Slice of Happiness

This layout for some reason took me a great deal of time and is so simple. I am not sure what the issue was. I used LOTS of ribbon, some thickers, and paper from the DCWV sweet stack. The pictures are from my birthday, it is the GORGEOUS cake that Jonathan made me. The bow is chocolate plastic and was yummy but the roses were his first and just divine! Caitlyn brought me a slice and gave me a kiss. It talks about all my blessings on that day and everyday. Thanks for looking.

7 Days of Valentines!




I hosted and partcipated (twice) in this swap. We had seven days of Valentines. Day ones word was CANDY/SWEET! Boy did I need these now after the HUGE snow storm and another one predicted for tomorrow.

Melissa send me a KING SIZE KIT KAT bar that SLIDES!!! I love it and I know she sent me that as I call Caitlyn Kit Kat sometimes AND she has a cat named KitKat LOL!
She also sent Caitlyn a cute little duck with hearts all over it that Caitlyn has NOT put down yet!

Sandy sent me a yummy bag of Dove Milk Chocolate Promises! YUMMY! My favorite!!!!

Blizzard 2010-Feb

This out our front door a few hours ago. Can you see the black thing by the tree? That is our mailbox.
Jon took this one at like 615 or so this morning! see that small black dot on the front of my car? That is my windshield wiper standing STRAIGHT UP off my windshield!!!!! And yes that is my car there!
Here is the backyard with the swing set, slide and more can you see it?
This is of the shed, the snow is halfway it! Do you see the TOP!?!? AND IT IS STILL COMING!


Well it looks like the weather man finally got it right! We have over 2.5 feet of snow I would say, not sure, can barely get out of the door. You can only see the tippy top of the mailbox and hardly anything of the backyard slide! WOW! We are going to be home bound for quite a while!

Puppy Love and a Toilet Paper Caper


Two more that I have finished lately. The first one is about the doggy that she is holding, it was my brothers, who then gave it to me when I went to college and now it is hers. She loves that thing! I had a WHOLE different idea on this one but this is what happened and I am pretty pleased with it.

Toilet Paper Caper was a fun one for me. She did all that and FILLED the toilet while I took out the trash, I thought it was while I was in the shower but I looked it up on my private blog, hence why the journaling is crossed out. Pretty simple but I like it.

Scrap Sketch 5


I just LOVE Stephanie's sketches! I turned this one into a two page layout and had more pictures than the sketch called for but it is based on her wonderful sketch. You cant really tell in the photo but I did some "faux stitching/doodling" for the dashes. I had Caitlyn "shaw shaw" (draw) on the aprons which were cut out with the Cricut using From my Kitchen, and then used them as embellishments. I love it, works well with the pictures and gets her scribbles at this age in there too! I also made my own flowers, and scalloped borders using circle punches! YAY me! LOL!

Layout for FB



I flipped the sketch and used it loosely. I love how this one turned out, lots of inking, distressing, and I used THREE Tim Holtz embellies. I even got Jonathan to journal and they are tucked away with mine. I used white everything for embellishments and thickers and just inked them to match what I wanted. What do you think? I love this picture!

Do you love Ben Franklin?


FERN DOES and she wants to SHARE with you!!! Hop on over and check it out!! WOW!

FERNS BLOG CANDY!!

Card for hubby-honest thoughts please


I was blog browsing today and the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger made me think of this card, VERY nontraditional Valentine colors but they are Jons favorites. Everything is embossed using the cuttlebug various folders. What do you think? I also decorated the inside with the papers you see but wrote my message before I took a picture!

I also noticed that this fits in the Valentine Challenge for Frosted Designs, there is no pink or red anywhere! YAY!
