good times

It's another sketchy sunday on de Scrappers anonimous forum.

I used three different basic grey lines for this one.. wassail, bittersweet and marrakech. They just seemed the match together.. I used a whole sheet of rub ons from Daisy bucket, the tree (branches) and bird are from maya road. I cut a piece of one branche and glued it to another, creating a tree. The littel bling flowers are a storebrand and I gave them a little cinnamon stickle centre.
I have no idea who makes the letters... but I stickled them too...





Thanks for looking,

altered match box and spring

And back again with another post..

I just wanted to share my little piece of spring..... (I'm so sick of winter.. I just want to sit outside in my yard with the sun on my face...)





And while cleaning out my closets this morning I found the little matchbox with max's teeth in it.. (I knew it had to be in there somewhere..)
I decided to alter it a bit with some left-overs. I think it came out so cute... I love it... A little itty bitty mini lo...

sweet boy

It's been a while since my last post!

The boys are taking up all my energy at the moment. The youngest keeps me on my toes.. Turns out he takes after his mom and has a creative side.... I now own a beautiful piece of art work... crayons in all colors on my wall upstairs...

This lay out was made from a sketch on teh scrappers anonimous blog (sketchy sunday, feb 8th)..

12,5 wedding anniversary

We enjoyed a little mini vacation over the weekend. Some friends of ours were married for 12 1/2 years and they threw a big party in th eeastern part of the country... We decided to make a weekend and of it.

I made them a little mini album, so that they can put their party shots in it.

and here it is..



When we came back from our little trip, we found out that our neighbours got robbed... You can understand that it took me a long time to go to sleep.. I kept checking the window... listening for sounds... blèh... I hope they stay away...

And now I'm off to do some work... we're teaching a workshop this weekend and I still have a ton of cutting to do....

Thanks for looking..
