Feeling Crabby?

Hi there! It's been way too long since I've been to my blog!  It's high time I post again so I'm starting with this little card. 

 I saw a challenge over at the Action Wobble Blog & thought it would be fun.

This challenge had to include patterned paper & fiber. 

 It also has to have an Action Wobble.

Here's what I came up with...

The best picture I could get of the Action Wobble.  

It would be better if I could have got my hands to quit wobbling!  LOL

The crab pattern is made by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. 

 The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye-Lime Twist.  

The fiber is so old that I can't tell you anything about it.  I bet I've had it stashed for 10+ years!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Just a fun page of our granddaughter.  I took this picture at the St. Louis Zoo.  We were waiting in line for the 3D ride, so she had on her funky glasses while we were waiting.

Flying HIgh

Here's  a fun page I made  using Echo Park paper and patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  The swing is from the Playground Pattern Collection & all the signs were made using the Here's Your Sign Pattern Collection.

Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Hunter

This morning I'm sharing a page I made for the current Design Team Challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  You can find all the details & how to join at our blog.
I was watching one of Shimelle Laine's videos at YouTube and she used an accordion folder like this on her page, so I scrap-lifted that from her.

I used paper from the We R Memory Keepers "Boy Oh Boy" line.  Love these papers!
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will join in our challenges!!!

Crazy Cowlick

Hello!  This page makes me giggle every time I look at it!  This is my darling granddaughter, McKayla.  She has the craziest hair I have ever seen!  If you let it do what it wants to, it almost forms a perfect heart around her face!
As soon as I saw this new pattern by Tricia at Little Scraps of Heaven, I knew I would have to make this page.

Thanks for stopping by :)

New entry in my smash book

I'm trying to add more to this little book but it seems my life is so boring I don't have much to add!

5 Hours Old

Here's a page I completed last night of Hunter.  I used a couple of patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven to make this page.  I used the pacifier pattern from the Be My Baby Accessories and the label is from the Lots of Labels collection.

It's Design Team Monday!

It's Monday, again!  To make it a little bit better how about joining in our design team challenge?  You  have until next Sunday to submit your project.
This week is a sketch challenge.  Here's the sketch

This is my layout for the challenge.  This page is about my favorite blue bear.  I still have him :)

For this page I used several patterns from Little Scraps.  The bear is from the "We are Family" pattern collection.  The label is from the Lots of Labels collection.  For the flower I used the scalloped circle from the Magical Memories collection and dictionary papers.
You can find out all about this challenge at our design team blog.

Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

We have a new grandbaby!!!

His name is Hunter Lee.  He was born on March 15th, 2012.  He weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long.
I think he is just perfect :)
Here's a few pictures of our new little guy.

Vroom!

I've been taking Shimelle's class, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking" & really enjoying it!
Challenge #1 was to pull out the supplies and take a picture & then to take an after picture of the finished page.
Here's my before picture...

I did pull quite a bit that I didn't use, as usual.  I also didn't have my sewing machine in the picture but planned on using it & did.  I also didn't know how to add to the picture the paper piecing I was planning to make for the page.  I did add a blue paper to stack after the picture.
Here's my finished page

I used the Boys and Their Toys car pattern for this page!  

Design Team Challenge 3/5/12-3/11/12

Oh'me~Oh'my have I ever been bad at keeping this blog up to date!  Today I'm sharing my page for this week's design team challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs!

You can find all the details for this challenge & how you can join in at our design team blog.  Our challenges start every Monday!

Finally

I'm finally feeling a little bit better, only wishing I was all better!  This has been a bad winter!  The more friends I talk with, the more I hear of others around here having this same crud and they have had it for weeks, too.
I've been busy working on piecings to add to my Etsy shop.  I've ignored it for weeks since I've been sick.
I thought I would share a few sets I got finished and listed today.

The patterns for all of these piecings can be found at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

Thanks for stopping by!

New Listings at Etsy

I have been playing with the new "Tweet on You" collection.  This is such a fun pattern set!  It was created for Valentines Day but I can think of so many other occasions to use this for.  I think it would be great for dating pictures, new home pictures and just anything about love!
Here's my completed set, which can be found for sale at Etsy.

For this set I used papers from Core~dinations. I LOVE this cardstock and these colors are so great together!
Here's another piecing I got finished and put on Etsy today, too.

This piece is from the Gingerbread-Man-Pattern-Collection.  This is another super cute pattern!

Thanks for stopping bye!  I hope you are having a very good day!
