You, Daisy

I had gone to bed about an hour and half ago but couldn't sleep. So I got out of bed and remembered I hadn't posted what I finished tonight (or it's already yesterday). The first one is Melissa's lift on UnPubbed. The photo sizes were just perfect to scraplift her pretty LO. There she was, not cooperating for me to take good photos... The second LO was for Method Playground. The new challenge is paper poking. I normally poke holes when I stitch..both real and fake... This time I poked the background design on the cardstock. I poked then decided to use the reverse side of the cardstock as front side. I did the horrible paint job though.... I got lazy and didn't use a brush. I just didn't want to get up and go wash the brush afterwards. Anyway, I like this poked design. I may use it to stitch next time.

2 layouts

I totally forgot to post these yesterday. I finished 2 layouts yesterday. The top one is a lift of Vanessa's pretty layout on Unpubbed. The bottom one is done with Rough Draft sketch #4. The pink princess paper I used for jounalling was found at the bottom of my scrap box. These photos were taken at a park nearby. It's a big park with a pond, picnic area, etc. I wish we went more often to this playground area. A little piece of red ribbon on the second layout is a left over from the first one. I used this ribbon all up now. I have started on the next layout this morning. But matching scrap papers is getting harder....

Blow

I totally forgot to post this one last night. This is Unpubbed's Kim's lift. Hers is a digital page and so pretty.

Glorious Sunshine

This is a scraplift on Unpubbed. When I saw Deana's LO, I thought of this paper i had. I like this paper design but didn't know how to use it without hiding the great design. I am glad to be able to scraplift her pretty LO.

Choose Your Own Path

Last night I had picked this green cardstock and patterned paper. I was going to do Method Playground's "repeat design element" challenge". I had a different design on my mind. Then as I was posting yesterday's layout, I checked 2 other challenge blogs that I enjoy. And there they were; new challenges. The new word on OLW is "Choose" and Jude's lift was out on Unpubbed. It didn't take me very long to come up with this LO. As I was scrapping with this title, I thought of Pocahontas.... By the way I received a t-shirt from OLW the other day. It was a randam prize I won when they had one year anniversary. It is a simple but cute t-shirt. My daughter got a hold of it. (lol) Well, one more day to go! I know my day tomorrow will be very busy. But after that we have 3-day weekend!! Woo hoo!

Just Be

This whole thing about Olympic games and the beginning of new school year is slowing my scrapping down. Once you turn the TV on, even the sport that I am not so interested in before, I find myself watching. I enjoyed swimming races very much yesterday. Michael Phelps and Dara Torres were amazing! Here is the layout I just finished. This is a lift of Marti's fabulous layout on Unpubbed. When I turned off the computer, what I remembered about her layout were a big circle and the positions of the main photo and the journaling. I cut out a big loop. Then I started to add paper scraps randomly.

The Sweetest Mouse

Well, is it still Wednesday or already Wednesday? I've been so busy at work, I should feel it is already Wednesday. But I don't. Anyway, I just finished this page. We were invited to a Halloween party that day and she was dressed up as a mouse. We got this set that came with ears, tail, and a bow tie that squeeked. The friends that hosted the party had decorated their front yard so well. They always did it though. It was just amazing. Our fav thing to play with her at that time was "Holy Cow." When we said "holy", she would say "cow." The way she said was so sweet. I remember we did this so many times at the party and everybody went "awwww" :D
This layout is Corey's lift on Unpubbed.

Amazing You

This is Unpubbed Jennifer's lift. Her digital layout is very beautiful to admire. But it looked difficult to lift. Basically the entire layout is a photo. And title and journaling on it. I was going to sit out for this one. But it stayed on back of my mind and I thought of using multipul photos. When I was looking for the photos taken at studios at different times, I found this one. Since I had 2 of this 8 x 10 photos, I went ahead and tried to lift. She was almost 3 years old.

Know You're Loved

Today was the last day of my vacation..... I usually don't have Monday blues, but I know I will tomorrow. Well, at least this is going to be a short week. Today's LO is a lift of Unpubbed' DT, Chrissey. I'm still not sure about this grass paper.

Give Love

Well, I bought some more papers today (at 50% off!!). My daughter and I went shopping. She needed to get a book for summer reading and we went to a book store. Since we were already up there, we visited a couple more stores. You know how it goes....

This was one of the favorite things to do with her. When we said "give love," she would give the biggest hug she could give. In these photos, she was giving love to the teddy bear. One of the photos was already cut like that. This is a lift of Stephanie on Unpubbed.

Glowing

Her babysitter got this Gloworm for Christmas. Stitched around the middle photo. Unpubbed, Nicole's lift.
