Nuts About Sketches #95

This lo is of our visit to Christmas Village. It is this crazy place near where we live, that is all decorated for Christmas. Lights, decorations, characters, figures, shops, trains....you name it, if it is Christmas affiliated, or even if it is not, it is there! The kids love it! It was so cold, but it was a fun family outing. This lo was created for the Nuts About Sketches dt.

The Everyday Scrapper - Manic Monday

Catherine, at The Everyday Scrapper , has asked me to take over the Monday spot on the website! There are some wonderful contributors that share fabulous ideas from money saving tips, to card making, to sketches, to altered projects, etc. It is just a very talented group of ladies! I am now blessed to have the opportunity to contribute regularly. So, check out the site when you get the chance, not just to see what I post on Mondays, but what everyone has to share, everyday! Here is my very first Monday post: Can you believe that we are in February? And Valentine's day is right around the corner. This week my girls are celebrating Valentine's day at preschool, so with the help of Emma, we made the Valentine's for their classes. First we cut out heart layers with the Cricut, using the Doodlecharms cartridge. (A money saving tip: I used all paper that was in my scrap bin!

Nuts About Sketches #94

I could not wait to scrap these pics & they have been sitting here since Christmas 2008! Just look at Emma's face! We have a yearly holiday party with my mom's side of the family, a kind of reunion, if you will. And every year we take family photos. I usually try to get the pic that I will put in my Christmas cards at this time. Well, as you can tell, Emma wanted no parts of it. Finally, she stomped over to the chair, crossed her arms, crossed her legs, & gave the meanest face she knew how to give! It made the entire place roar with laughter! Which made her madder. But then she knew the attention was on her, so then she pretended to be mad to get more laughter. What a goof. She is going to be my actress/performer....mark my words. This lo was created as part of my dt work with Nuts About Sketches . Week 94.
