… Printable Freebie

I have been playing around with making my own printable labels. I thought that I would share one of my first go’s with you all as a freebie. I went with some really bright color combo’s.

Polka Dot Labels - Bright (1) Polka Dot Labels - Bright (2) Polka Dot Labels - Bright (3)

I’d love to see how you use them or what you think about them!!!

… Conquering the Rain

Here is another layout from the rainy day we experienced at Epcot Center.  We should have known rain was coming from the storm-a-brewing above but that did not stop us from seeing Paris.  We conquered that storm with our plastic poncho’s.  

I “pagerized” Joni from Scrap Our Stash.  I downscaled her layout and brightened it up with pinks and greens. 

The Storm

The ruffle at the bottom of the layout is crinkled tissue paper for the Punky Scraps challenge.  I like how it turned out.

Also, check out the XOXO Challenge going on right now.  You could scraplift my previous Stuck in Canada layout!! There are some great layouts to get inspiration from!

… sick on vacation

I hate it when I have vacation time and then I get sick :( It always seems to work that way.  I had visions of scapping and sewing all weekend and instead I found myself sipping 7up, eating crackers, and drifting in and out of sleep for four days.  Not my idea of  a great vaca :(  Anyway…. I did drag myself out of bed to do two layouts.  I am not thrilled with either of them, probably cause I was feeling poopy but I thought I would post them nonetheless. 

This first one, I used a piece of screen left over from my screening my sliding door for the first time process, to get a cool misting effect.  There is a close up to see what I mean.

Next up is some goofy pictures of my sister from our first night at Magic Kingdom.  We ate ice cream and then she went crazy! lol

…way to go

It has been a busy weekend but I had a little time to make a card tonight.  I made this for a student of mine that just graduated with a degree in art.  I thought this went perfect with the challenge at These are a few of my favorite things about your favorite art.  I heart Van Gogh especially starry night.  I added some rhinestones and glitter to spruce up the artwork.

… stuck in Canada

Three summers ago my sister and I were at Disney World.  It was our day to explore the countries at Epcot except the weather had other plans.  We got stuck in a massive down pour while we were in Canada.  We stayed in the Canada experience for a while and then decided to just have fun with it.  These are pictures of my sister goofing off… the rain had stopped for like 10 minutes when we took these.  The umbrella did not make it though the storm but it put up a good fight against the wind :) lol

I combined two challenges for this layout… First I used the sketch from Sketchabilities of course I had to flip the sketch…. i love to do that.  Then I used the inspiration for the timeline effect from Kraft It Up.  Also, I just have to point out that I did my first machine sewing on this layout.  In my apartment I didn’t have the space to have my sewing machine out but now that I have house… I have the space! Couldn’t wait to use it.

Happy Friday!!!

… Can you believe it!

I have a couple can you believe it things!  First, I found out my sister and I were approved for the house we bid on!!! I am going to be a homeowner!!!! I am super excited.  But it is happening really fast.  The house is ours March 1 which means the craziness is about to ensue. I may not be as active around the blog world towards the end of February and beginning of March. 

Now on to my layout.  This is my design team entry for XOXO as well as my take on the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays this week.  The story behind this is I worked with Spencer, Spencer loved penguins, and my sister works with penguins, so for his birthday I took him to play with the penguins.  One actually pooped on him :) lol  There were so many pictures but these were my faves.

Believe it
