Birthday card for Dad


This is a simple card that I made for my dad. He will be 71 this weekend. Didn't want to add any ribbon, too feminine for him. This image just reminded me of him because as long as I can remember my dad loved to have a bowl of ice cream at night as a snack. I love this house mouse stamped image that my friend Guylou sent to me. The pink in the cheeks looks much brighter on here than irl. I used my fiskars threading water punch along the edge, the background paper is from a DCWV pack and the other cardstock is CTMH. I hope he likes it. He will like what is inside it as it is some pics of my granddaughters, his great-granddaughters!!! Thanks for stopping by to look.

pumpkin patch






Dani and Jon took the 3 girls to the pumpkin patch last weekend. They had so much fun. They each picked out a pumpkin to carve. We have Danika's masterpeice out front on our porch!! They took a hayride to the field and went through a hay bail maze!!!

A simple birthday card for one of the Drs where I work.
I love bella images. The image is from stampingbella. I used tria and copic markers for coloring, an embossing folder with my cuttlebug, ribbons by american crafts and Martha stewart. The papers are all CTMH cardstock.

It is hygiene appreciation week, so i got to pull out my dentabella and make a simple card for our hygienist Kathy!
I got the Thanks sentiment in a image swap so am unsure who made it. All the papers are CTMH cardstock. American crafts ribbon, dentabella by stampingbella, cuttlebug embossing folder by cuttlebug, and colored with copic markers. Love these things!!

Carving Pumpkins





This last weekend my granddaughter Peighton and her 2nd cousins went to the pumpkin patch and then brought their pumpkins over to carve. The pumpkins probably weighed more than the little girls!!

Blue Eyed Beauty


My granddaughter Kiah has the most beautiful Blue eyes. They are a gorgeous color and they are so big!!! I had to showcase them in a layout. The papers are all from CTMH as well as the ink and the flourish background stamp. Also the white flours are CTMH big blossoms.

Cherish


In June we took our whole family to the Oregon coast and rented a house. The weather was some of the most beautiful weather we have seen there. Usually there is so much wind on the beach that you can't stay for long. The Oregon Coastal water is so cold. I took so many pictures the week we were there. Our daughter Danelle, her husband Jon and their daughter Peighton, our son REO, his wife Charissa and their daughter Kiah, our daughter Katie and her boyfriend Adam had a wonderful time fishing, playing on the beach and in the water. This layout is one of my alltime favorite layouts. I have it framed and hanging on my scrapbook room wall. It is the only 8X10 I have scrapped. It is Peighton looking up at her Papa. Such a precious photo. Thanks for looking.

I used some paper from Fancy Pants. The swirl is cut with my cricut. The letters I received in a swap. I think they were cut with the sizzix. I got the quote from scrapbook.com.
