TRIPLE PLAY!

I have 3 cards to share with you tonite.  The first is a Thinking of You card created for Love to Create Challenges using a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and some handmade flowers for Crazy Challenge and texture in my embossed background and flowers centered with rhinestones for Divas by Design.

Here is the sketch:

and here is card #1:

My second card uses no patterned paper as called for in the There She Goes challenge #175 and Fab N Funky #141, and the color palette from My Time Made Easy.  I used some lace, ribbon and a flower as well as a Crafters Workshop Template and Distress Ink.

Card #2:

and my final card uses the color palette from Homespun Affair and a sketch from Diecuttin' Divas.

BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD

Here's another layout of our new little furballs now affectionately called Beavis and Butthead.  I used a sketch from Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  The twist was to use a star on the layout so I chose the center panel to be embossed with a star embossing folder.  I used this month's color challenge from A Homespun Affair.  Here is the sketch:

and here are the colors:

and finally here is my layout:

Hope that you have enjoyed seeing another photo of our cute new pets.

A VERY HAPPY 4TH!

I will start this post by wishing everyone here in the USA a Happy Independence Day and a big thank you to those in the military that have given time and even lives to make and keep this possible.

Today I am sharing a layout I did with some photos from last year's celebration.  We had spent the day having a barbecue at friends house and then attending a big fireworks show in the evening.  It was wonderful to be able to celebrate with friends.  This year is a quiet one as we are new residents of Delaware and haven't met many new friends yet.  Michael couldn't make it because he threw out his back and needs to rest it to be able to work and I planned to barbecue for me and the kids but got back from a disastrous grocery shopping trip late so we had a roasted chicken and mashed potatoes instead and will have a big barbecue tomorrow night.  Hopefully we will get to see some fireworks tonite.

I did this layout using a sketch on Colorful Creations for their Plus Two challenge, and I also have entered this in the Red White and Blue challenges at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium and a Homespun Affair.  

Thanks for stopping by...
