St Patty's card.

I made this St Patricks Day card for a challenge over at Cardz TV.  One of my goals this year was to make all of my cards and not buy any.  So far, so good!

Snow Bunny

This week's Nuts About Sketches sketch was perfect for two pictures of my grand niece, Ana, on the ski slopes.  It is hard to imagine that this precious little girl that my niece adopted from Guatemala would enjoy skiing so much at the tender age of six!



Valentine's bouquet

I saw something on the internet that was similar and decided to put my spin on it.  I made this for my valentine swap partner over on the cricut circle message board and since she has already opened it, I thought I would share.  I took a pink plastic pot (97cents at Wal Mart), put a styrofoam ball in it, cut out two sizes of a flower found on the Artiste cartridge, inked their edges, punched holes in the middle of the flowers after gluing them together, and put a heart shaped lollipop (a lollipop bouquet of ten pops was $1 at Wal Mart)through the hole and down in to the styrofoam ball.  I used my paper shredder to shred a letter sized piece of green cardstock for the grass.  This was so much fun to make, and I am so glad my partner liked it!!

On the Move!

Since my sweet grandson has learned to crawl, I've been snapping pictures of him everywhere.  I knew I wanted to use a lot of them on a layout, and when I rec'd this sketch from Shawn at Nuts About Sketches, I knew I wanted to use it.  Imagine 14 photos on one layout!!!  Here's the sketch












And here is my interpretation

Made With Love

This week's Nuts About Sketches sketch featured an 8 X 10 photo. I love that Shawn mixes up the photo sizes quite a bit as it gives a lot of interest to a scrapbook to have different sizes in it.  Here's this week's sketch



















And here is my page with an 8 x 10 of my sweet grandson

Ghiradelli Candy Boxes

MizEsther over on the cricut circle board shared how she made these adorable little boxes that hold 3 Ghiradelli candy squares.  The box is on the baby shower cartridge and doesn't even require any adhesive!  MizEsther is super creative and I just had to lift her idea!  I used papers by Basic Grey.

Oh Deer!

For this week's Nuts About Sketches sketch, I used Little Yellow Bicycles's Winterings line of paper.  I subscribe to The Scraproom kits and this was part of their double shot offering this month.  The pictures were taken by my sister through a glass storm door so they aren't the best, but I did want to include them in the scrapbook that I do each year for her birthday in February.  One more page, and I will have that book finished, and ready to mail to her in Pennsylvania!





This is The Good Stuff

This week's Nuts About Sketches sketch used circle pictures which was a nice change up.  I just love Shawn's sketches as she has so much variety.



















And here is what I came up with
