Little Boys

Hi there!  I'm a day late this week!  I got a new Cameo over the weekend so I've been totally obsessed with learning how to use it!   I think I'm figuring the software out, lol.

 

It's a new week so that means a new challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven .  This week our challenge is a sketch challenge.  Here's this week's sketch :)

Here's the page I made this week :)

I used the Little Boys pattern collection for this page.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. 

My Bunny

Here's a quick page I made using the Pudgy Bunny pattern collection.

I used the WeRMemoryKeepers Anthologie paper collection for this page.

Thanks for stopping by :)

New Summer Clothes

Hello everyone!  This afternoon I'd like to share this super fun page.   Here's my granddaughter with one of her new summer outfits. 

I thought the design on this shirt would make the cutest paper piecing :).

For this piecing I used the monkey holding balloons

in the Birthday Monkeys pattern collection.  For her outfit I used the outfit

from the singing girl in the Rock On pattern collection.

 

 

Tricia just realeased this week's super cute free pattern! 

 You can find it on our Facebook Fanpage to download. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. 

I hope you are having a great day & you'll stop back by very soon!

Design Team Monday

It's Monday again & that means a new weekly challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  This week our challenge is to make a project with flowers!

This is the page I made for this week's challenge.  I used the Cherry Blossom pattern for this page.

I used an Echo Park This & That Collection to make this page.

What a mess!

I have to share one quick picture!  I stayed up really late last night working on a page for an upcoming blog hop!  I have to share my mess with you!  This is what I woke up find on my scrap table!  I usually clean up as I go but it was 3 a.m. when I finished so I left it all on my table!  Can you believe what a messy scrapper I am?!?!

 

I have been absent for a couple of weeks for a good reason.  Our daughter & her family have moved!  We went down to help them.  Things are finally going into place for them.  They have struggled the past 5 years getting her husband through college & then a year of trying to find a job.  Well, he finally landed a great job & in his hometown!  He is now a full time police officer so they needed to move to town.  We jumped in the truck & went to help them.  It was not an easy move at all, one of those moves that if it could go wrong, it did.  It's all going to be okay, though :)  It's so fun to see things finally coming together for them.  They have a beautiful daughter, which you see in my pages & another due in 6 weeks...life is good!

 

Here's a picture of our granddaughter, she's so excited to be moving & have her own room!

 

Here she is looking out the window with our dog.  She was so sad when we left, yes she missed us but what brought her to tears was leaving Mitzi!

 

 

 The kids live in a very beautiful part of the country so I had to share a few of my favorite pictures.  This is one of our favorite places to visit when we go down.  The spring is so beautiful, and the water so relaxing!

 

 Here she is enjoying playing in her new room!

 

 Finally, the first cone of the season! 

She was so happy the Dairy Shack finally opened up!

 

 This is our favorite picnic spot!  While we were there we celebrated her 5th birthday.  She got a Barbie fishing pole & had to try it out right away.  I love these pictures of her in her pretty dress & fishing, so her.  She loves to be a little diva but loves the outdoors all at the same time.  She is going to be a very original little girl!

 

Here's another view of the spring.

 

Well, that's a summary of where I've been this past week. 

It's was a fun & exhausting week all rolled together! 



Design Team Monday!

It's Monday again!  Here at Little Scraps that at least means something fun!  It's time for a new challenge!  This week we are having an "Anything Goes" challenge.  So, if you have been thinking about joining this would be a great week to give it a try.

For my challenge project I made this page with a huge moose head.

My Mom got this cute shirt for my grandson for Christmas.  He LOVES this shirt!  When he's asked about his shirt he always shows off the wiggle eyes. 

I had to make a page highlighting his favorite shirt. Don't worry, there is journaling on the back all about his shirt.  I always leave a message on the back of my pages for my grandkids to find someday.  I sign & date it the day that I made the page.  My thought is someday when I'm gone & my scrapbooks are being seperated for each of my grandchildren that they will start to see all the little notes and it will be something

new from mefor them to ready & enjoy.  I often tuck hidden journaling

somewhere on the front of the pages, too.
So, I used the Puzzle Pals moose pattern for this page.  Since I took this picture I finally found much larger wiggle eyes and changed those out.  It looks much better :)

Have a blessed day & thanks for stopping by my blog.



Piggy Toes

 

Today I want to share this fun page I made of my granddaugters toes.  I know this is such a silly page :)  She will love this when she sees it.  I can't wait to hear her giggle and say "Grandma that's a silly page", which she will.

For this page I used the feet from the Girl in Capris pattern collection.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you are having a great day!

Bring on Spring....wait maybe it's Christmas?!

Monday Monday Challenge Day

It's Monday so that means it's a new challenge week at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  This week we are having a sketch challenge.  Here's the sketch we are using this week.

 

Here's the page I made using the sketch for my inspiration. 

For this page I used the Bathtime Bears & also the doily pattern.  The paper is all from Echo Parks Little Girl Collection.  I've had this collection in my stash for awhile.  It's so cute and just filed away so I've been using it all up.  You'll be seeing a little bit more of this paper in my next few projects :).  I love getting pretty papers out of my files and in my books.  Such a better use of them :)

If you would like to join our challenge this week, you can find all of the information on our blog.  We'd love to have you join us in the fun.

Page Re-do

I decided to take Glitter Girls challenge to redo an old scrapbook page.  I picked this page out of my books to redo.  I don't normally redo pages because I think they are all just a progression of my scrapping.  This one was really sad, though & one of my favorite pictures of my daughter, not to mention I had used the original picture.  I made this page sometime in the late 90's.

When I took the page apart I found that the sticker is full of acid and had already done some damage to the picture.  I'm so glad I chose this page to redo. I plan on going through my books in the very near future to see if I have any more of these stickers destroying my pages.

 

Here is my new page.  For this page I used the Bathtime Bears pattern collection to make this page.  The papers I used are from Echo Park Little Girls.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today :)

A Spring Day in Nauvoo

Hi there, today I want to share a fun spring mini album.  I have had this acrylic album hanging by my desk for years!  I kept thinking that I just had to wait for the perfect pictures and the perfect paper to use it.  Well, I finally decided that was just silly and that I needed to use it!
Our challenge this week at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs is a spring challenge.  Check out our blog for all the details.  We love to have you join!

I just love this little book.  All of the pictures are from a day trip we took to Nauvoo.  It was a beautiful spring day.  My granddaughter was just about to turn two years old so she was just discovering all the spring flowers. She was prancing around have having so much fun.  

For the front cover I used the My Paper Garden Vol. 2

For the next pages I used the Groundhog Day pattern to make the flowers.  This was her first time to really see spring flowers.

For these two pages I use the My Paper Garden Vol. 2 for the flowers.

For these pages I used the http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_271/Gnome-in-My-Garden-Collection.htm.  She was telling us that she heard birds :)

This is our favorite spot along the river.  We like to stop here and picnic.  There is a creek and waterfall.  For this page I used the http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_577/Butterfly-Silhouette.htm

For this page I also used the My Paper Garden Vol.2.  This is my very favorite picture of the day.  I love that her little shadow is in the camera.  She was having so much fun discovering that day.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

Fall Color Drive

Fun fall page made using patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I used 3 patterns, the little girl is from the pattern set "Little Girl Pulling Pumpkin".  I also used "Fall Leaves" & "Tabs" patterns.

Patterned Paper is Bella Blvd-Thankful Collection.  This one is "Perfect Day".

Thanks for stopping by!

Wading in Jack's Fork River

Another page from our trip to Eminence.  These pictures are of my granddaughter wading in the river.  She LOVES the river, can't say I blame her.   I think if I lived there I would be in that river every day of the summer!  It is spring fed so very cool and so clear you can see the fish swimming.  It's very beautiful!

 



Project Life....sort of...

So, in my scrapbook I have sort of started doing a Project Life type addition to it.  Really it isn't Project Life at all but very inspired by PL.  I've got the divided page protectors and use those.  What started it all for me was the addition of another grandson last March.  His parents send me phone pictures of him and well, I can't print them very large so I started thinking of using the divided pages to make the area much smaller.  That started it :)
Now, I add lots of little things to my albums.  Things that really only need a small space like a trip out to eat with the family or folding laundry with Grandma.  I add these things to my scrapbook with the divided pages.
Another thought I have on this is that with 4 grandchildren so far this will make it easier to divide up the books.  There are some things that I add to the divided pages but then I also make a 12x12 page of.  I am thinking that the grandchild that is the main subject of the 12x12 will eventually have that page but another one of our kids might want the small bit from the PL pages for their book so they may also have a memory from that event.
I don't know maybe I'm really just making up an excuse to use all of those 6x6 paper pads I've been collecting?  LOL
Here's one of my pages I've added to my book.  This one is actually just one day for the whole page.  This is from a trip to Eminence we took this summer.  The first part of the page is pictures from our curvy drive down and then pictures from our cabin.  I loved that we actually had a room key!  I hadn't seen one of those in years, sure brought back memories.

 

The curvy road sign & the banner were both made using patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  You can find the details on our fanpage at Facebook.

I also used post cards and some cut outs from some of the brocures we collected.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  I will be posting more pages soon :)

Something Sweet Card

I thought I would try the Action Wobble Challenge again this week.  I love challenges and this one looked like fun. 

  Here's the challenge...

Now for this week's challenge:

Gimme Some Sweets! 

Include a sweet treat on, or in your project.  It can be a real treat (like candy in a little treat container), sweets cut (candy, cupcakes, cake, etc.), or image.  It also must have an Action Wobble on it of course :O)

Of'course, I had to use a pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I just don't feel my projects are done until they have a paper piecing on them.  So for this one I used a pattern from the "It's on the Calendar-October" to make this cute little caramel apple...yummy!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Make sure you come by our fanpage at Facebook.  You will find us by searching Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  Hope to see you there.
