Fall

My " Two peas in a pod " ---- Phoebe and Scooter! They're sure lovable!

http://theshakerbox.com/ World Card Making Day! Here are a few cards I did for the occasion! The " Shaker Box " had some wonderful challenges posted on their forum!

I love the look of black and white on its own and also with a dash of red!

Introducing baby-boy Logan!! I became a Great -Grandmother on Sept. 13th! Isn't he the sweetest??!!

Wishing everyone a fantastic fall and thank you for your patience!

Fall: A time for the hustle and bustle of the trees shedding their leaves; birds preparing for their long migration; critters scurrying around foraging for enough food to sustain them over winter!

I love the sentiment on this card!

This layout was done using a sketch from Ally's "So Sketchy" http://sosketchy.blogspot.com/2009/07/julys-sketch-contest.html She has an awesome contest happening right now!

A set of ATC'S done for a swap from Fiskars! The theme for this swap is Summer!

Phoebe's baby, Scooter, is nine months old now and mischevious as anything! Mom and baby are like 2 peas in a pod! lol

This post is for the dogs!!

This 2 pg layout was based on a challenge to do a layout based on a book! The book is about a haven for animals where they live out their lives in peace, and the layout suits the book as well! This is my sister's dog Sadie, and is her 3rd rescue dog! My sister rescues "last chance" dogs. Sadie was at the shelter for awhile before she was united with my sister! Sadie has cancer, but sadie has love in her life and is so cherished!

My friend has the cutest poodle ever! We go to a lot of fund-raising events to help the pets at the humane society! The top strip in the layout depicts the fund-raising for the Humane society, while the bottom strip depicts a fund-raiser in the local park! Bailey had won ribbons at this event!

On Sunday May 24th we will be once again going on the "Wiggle-waggle" dog-walk at the Humane society! They have the dog-walk, booths, dog show and silent auction! Even though I dont have a dog I like to get sponsors to do my part in helping the animals!

It's been awhile!

A prize i won from Fiskar's! I took part in an on-line chat featuring The author of " BENT, BOUND & STITCHED! " ( " Josie " Cirincione!) She signed the inside with " Glue is a gir'ls best friend! lol ...... how true! This book has so many innovative and inspiring ideas! I also got some Heidi Grace chipboard add-ons, mmmmmmm M & M's and check out the cute little Fiskars scissors pin!

here is one of many ATC's I did for a swap coming up at SCRAP CENTRAL! I used recycled materials for this one! The floral paper is from an old stationary set and the button is from duvets, what you see is actually the bottom and i chalked it and used my crop-a-dile to punch holes in the leftover paper and added the punched holes to the center of the button! The ribbon came from a gift basket!

Here's my girls ..... Phoebe and Scooter! Scooter has brown eyes, unlike her Mom's green eyes!

I have been so busy getting ready for a yard sale i'm having! half my craft room is going, i cleared 2 closets, priced everything, made goodie bags and packed things in boxes! To look at my rooms it doesnt look like a dent was made, lol! I have managed to get in a wee bit of scrappin"!

Finally ........ Spring!

A few of some coffee cards I'm doing for a card swap! Tea and coffee related items are so hard to find in the scrappy world!





Along comes Scooter to give mom a helping hand ....... um .......paw! I love these two so much!

I'm so thrilled that Spring has sprung! Waiting for the grass to riz, but i know where the birdies is! lol
