Pink Caddy Maggie

My Besties card!  I can't get enough of Sherri Baldy's Besties!  Have you seen them?  Super cute!  Everyone Needs a bestie right?

For my bestie I picked Pink Caddy Maggie.  I used one of the pre-colored digis because I can't color in the lines very well. LOL

Don't you just think she is the cutest?

Collection of bookmarks

Good morning!  I made a small collection of bookmarks today.  I used the gorgeous paper from Echo Park, For The Record.  You can find this paper here: http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1

For my bookmarks I made a regular bookmark, a corner bookmark and one the folds over the page.

Thanks for taking a peak.

Gram and Me

My friend Bev Code, had a sketch and used almost the identical papers for layout. I loved it so much that I "copycatted" 

These papers and stickers from Echo Park, For the Record, are gorgeous. If you are interested in getting these papers and stickers, you can find it all here: http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1

This is a photo of my gram and me when I was about 6 months old.  There really is no story to go with my photo, other than that My gram and I were best friends. I loved her as if she was my mom. We talked on the phone every single day a couple times per day until she died. I miss her more than anything.

Puppy Love layout using Echo Park paper

Sharing another layout. :) I'm calling it Puppy Love. Yes that is me up in the right hand corner holding my dog as she sleeps. She is spoiled like that, and has me well trained. lol   I don't know what's with my droopy sad face???

I used Echo Park paper for everything on this layout, even where the ribbon strings through, I threaded the paper through instead of ribbon. This is the For The Record line. The flower sticker on the right and the border sticker on the left are from this paper pack as well. Here is the link for that store: http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1
Thanks for taking a peak. :)

Scrapbook Layout- Remember This

Good morning !  It is so beautiful outside today in Michigan, chilly but sunny.  We have spots of snow still hanging around in our yard and when the sun hits it just right you a bunch of little sparkles, almost as if they were diamonds.  Ahhh, so beautiful.  :)

My layout today is a scrapbook layout of the "diamond" in my life and myself sitting near a waterfall in the park.  Our friend Christina takes beautiful photos, and unfortunately the photo didn't come through very well on my blog and for that I apologize.

I used products that can all be found at Paper Patch Crafts.  Echo Park- For the Record line of paper.  Love it!  This orange is my favorite, so bright and cheerful.

Explore Nature scrapbook page

I thought it would be fun to do  Scrapbook page this time.  I used Mitzi Sato-Wiuff's digi stamp image for this nature page.  I thought it was perfect with her little snail.  I can't wait for summer to go camping again.  Nothing better than to be out in the middle of the woods with a camper, a campfire, and family.

Happy New Year- Giveaway Winner Announcement!

Happy New Year Friends!

 I hope you all had a great New years Eve.  I spent my night with my husband and two sons.  We played Apples to Apples, Win Lose Or Draw, ate some goodies, and watched a movie together.  Then we went downtown to watch the fireworks go off, and they were beautiful.  Amazing how they can make little smiley faces, and hearts.  My favorite are the ones that sizzle.  So pretty.  There was a bird that didn't think so, boy was he mad, he was louder than the fireworks.  lol  Must have been too close to his nest.

Okay, so anywhere, where was I?  oh yes, I was going to announce the New Year Winner of my little stamp set giveaway.  :)
I used random number generator, and the winner is #3 Chriss Real that's You!  Girl, your New Year is off to a good start.  :)  Please email me and I will get these out to you on Friday.

Would love to hear how everyone spent their New Year.
