Monochromatic Card

I love browns and what goes best with browns than a beach theme. My family and I have also found a new hobby finding & collecting sea glass at our local beaches. Tons of fun. So what better way to accent my photo of my monochromatic beach card with brown sea glass.

Playing catch up.

I am honored and ashamed at the same time. I have my first blog award. I am speechless. My blog is so plain jane and not how I want it to look. I don't know how to do half the stuff on here. Insert and change layout. Thank you so much Penny for this wonderful award. I am sorry I am so late in accepting it. Penny has a beautiful blog and is amazing at the SCAL software. I need to find to learn more about, but so busy with the kids and keeping them busy this summer. Please check out Penny's Blog, she is awesome.

40 Layouts Completed So Far this Summer.

Well since school has been out and PTO is on a break. I have found the time to start working on my books again. I have completed about 40 pages so far and finally finished my daughter's baby album. Amazing how fast they grow. Never realized how much Brianna and Jordan looked alike as babies. Most of the layouts I used my cricut and SCAL to create titles. It is awesome the things I can do with that machine. Here are 20 of the 40 that I completed in the slide show. Enjoy.

I have time now.

So even though I have not posted or uploaded any new projects I did find time to create a few things. Let's start with April, yes April. I had to do some swaps for a challenge and like the one I did for March Sketch Challenge Cards on Visual Designs by Chris's Forum... I made one that I did not swap out. This was the only one that I made like this. The other one I posted on April 5th.

Now on with May. These were a swap I did for Girl & Boy Cards. I have not took part in this many swaps in a while so I was pretty excited to get my swaps in return. These are the swaps that I completed.



Just a few more and I am going to sign off. I have to run around for some last minute things for my son's 5th B-day party on Saturday. This was some things I was able to create for Brianna's teacher. She is a scrapbooker too and I knew she would appreciate having some altered gifts. Well I hope she does. Here is a altered clipboard, a altered notebook, pencil holder along with some fancy pencils, binder clips and to finish it off a note pad holder with pen. I really enjoy making these and have so much fun to see what the finish product looks like.
