One for Monday...

Well it looks like the stomach flu hit our house. Kalee is home sick today and I have been very busy between taking care of her and cleaning the carpet. Not sure why kids never seem to make it to the bathroom on time when they get sick, but it makes me very glad that we invested in a carpet shampooer a few years ago.


Here is a fun layout that I created over the weekend before the flu hit our house.
It is a photo of me with my good friend Suzy West. I used the Domestic Bliss line (Lily Bee), mixed in with 1 page from the Christmas Town line for this layout.
I made those fun flowers on the page using a tutorial that I got off of the the Lily Bee blog So fun!

That's it for today. I am off for round 3 of shampooing the carpet. Wish me luck!
Thanks for looking!

Secondly, I wanted to share some recent projects that I made with the Sew easy line from My little Shoebox

First is a project that I created of my niece Sophia using the Punky playground corrugated cardboard from Punky Sprouts and a fun heart button and 1 inch round epoxy from Epiphany Crafts. I also sprayed a doilly with tattered angels spray. So much fun!
Such a Doll:


Second, I created a fun layout of me with my amazing scrap friends - Tricia Wilson, Sarah de Guzman, and Suzy West.
They really are 'sew cute' and I treasure their friendships immensely.
Sew Cute:

I used an actual sewing pattern on the layout to make the fun circles, then used foam tape underneath the sewing stickers to make them pop. What do you think?

Next up is a fun and easy card that I made:
Adore U:


And the last project that I have to share with you today is a fun layout that I did of myself (gasp). I rarely feature myself in a layout but I thought that the paper was perfect for these fun photos that my dear friend Suzy West took of me when we were playing around one day.
Laugh, smile, scrapbook, repeat...


Thanks for looking! Have a fabulous weekend!
