GO!


I had a lot of fun doing this layout and using all the Kaisercraft
embellishments. There were so many to use and they went so 
well with these photo's of Riley and his car. 

The hall way was his race track and he zipped up and down it as
fast as his little legs would take him. Look out anyone that may 
have got in his way.

My inspiration for this layout was the sketch at GrandDiva's

 




Whooo's The Lil' Artist


I had so much trouble getting these photo's and in the end I just
give up and took them the way Riley wanted. He had done this 
life size painting of himself at Kinder. I had pinned it to the door.
I asked that he stand beside it so I could take some photo's and he
was so eager. The only problem I had was he insisted on standing 
in front of it.

I tried to hard to explain that I could only see the head and the
body was missing. His answer was that it didn't matter because it 
looked just like him, cause it was him. I decided to let him have 
his way. You will just have to trust him that the body he painted
looks just like him, because it is. 'Cute head though.'

I have place this layout in the challenge at About A Boy

This layout has been done with Kasiercraft Products.

To Our Son With Love.... Card


I'm starting to love my New Years Resolution. It is 
working so well doing my cards and a few of my LO. 
This is one I'm able to keep. LOL.

I have made this card for the challenge at Itsy Bitsy.
It is a color challenge and I found just the right colors 
in my scrap bag for it. The green and the light blue.
All I can tell you about the papers is that they are from
my ever loved scrap bag and so was the card stock I used
for the card. The stamp is from the beautiful range from
La-La-Land. I have colored it with Stampin`Up Chalks.

Best Friends Forever - Card


This is the latest card I have made for the challenge
at Scrapbookit. There is time for this challenge still
if you want to have a go just pop over to

The other challenge I have placed it into is over at 
For my bingo line I picked - Flowers, Patterned Paper
and Stamping

I normally use my chalks for the coloring but this time 
decided to have a go with my new Copics. I dont have that
many yet, but I'm working on them slowly. For the few I have
I'm happy with the result. The stamp is La-la-land Crafts - 
Marci. I love their stamps. The flower and leaves are from
Cre8tive. On the flower I used a little Smooch Pearl Accent
Ink. The patterned papers are no other than Kaisercraft - Gypsy 
Sisters and the letters and rose are also Kaisercraft from their
 Magnolia Grove Sticker Sheet. The butterfly is from Couture
Creations Treasures.

Vacation - Recipe Challenge


Hi everyone. I have been getting a little more work done than normal
the last couple of weeks. This is my latest LO for the Recipe Challenge
over at Scrapbookit. It was so much fun doing it. There is still some 
time left for those who want to have a go. 

For this challenge I had to use the following recipe - 
  1. Word Title
2.  Card Stock
 3.  Patterned Paper
 4.  Embellishments
 5.  Photo's.


I have used the following products to create this LO of a vacation 
we had to the Great Ocean Road. We had an awesome time.

Card stock from Authentique, and my 3 patterned papers were from 
Authentique, kaisercraft- Just Believe and Kaisercrft -Pack Your Bags.
Heather Schwartz - Little Minis Stickers ( I placed these on card stock 
and cut out to make the lighthouse/boat embellishment). The butterfly
embellishment was from the Couture Creations Treasures - Adalyn
Collection Mocha. The third embellishment I used was the tag I made.
For this I used Kaisercraft 75c collection tag, a rub-on quote and another 
of the stickers.


For my last but not least 4th embellishment I have used a chipboard
from Twiddleybitz ornate circle frame and colored it with my Copic
pen E33 Sand and 0 Blender pen. I thought the photo of the boys 
great in it. I used my Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Frayed Burlap around 
the edges of my papers and Black Slick Writer around my pics.
