So Blessed Layout

I decided that since my layout didn't sell on eBay in an 8 x 10 frame, maybe it will sell as a 12 x 12 layout. I really do like this layout. The pink/black are so much prettier in real life!

Hope you'll check it out, and send someone to eBay that doesn't like to scrapbook themselves! LOL.

TFL!

Welcome to 50

I made this card for a co-worker who is turning 50 today. I decided not to give her too much grief over turning the big 5-0!

The 50 and the labels behind the 50 were cut from the Winter Woodlands Cricut cartridge.

He Will Wipe Every Tear From Their Eyes

I made this sympathy card for my former co-worker whose nephew passed away a couple of weeks ago. I know she is going through some tough days because she loved this little boy like a brother. She spent so much time with him, and was there until the end.

A New Angel Has Just Gotten His Wings

Remember the beagle card? Yep, the one I made for the little boy with neuroblastoma? This is the sympathy card I made for his parents. I hope somehow it helps to know that I care, although I've never even met them. (I did meet the little boy once, and he will always have a special place in my heart.) The sentiment on the inside of the card also said, "You have my sympathy and prayers as you grieve for your angel."

TFL!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

These cards were made for made for a wonderful friend I have on the west coast. She and I met through a scrapbooking message board, and we email each other daily. We've even talked on the phone several times. I hope that someday we can meet in person! Anyway, she and her daughter sent a huge box of clothing for my granddaughter (clothes her granddaughters have outgrown), and then she was nice enough to print invitations for my grandson's party and wouldn't let me pay her a dime. So, I wanted to make thank you cards for her and her daughter. This is what I came up with. The coffee pot card is for my friend, and the ice cream soda card is her daughter's card.

Fair Fun

We had a blast at the local fair this weekend. We met my daughter and her family there. We watched the Figure 8 races (sort of like a demolition derby), watched Ashlyn ride the kiddie rides, ate some great food (frozen chocolate covered cheesecake was my favorite), watched Isaiah be indifferent to it all, and found that I had won some blue ribbons for my layouts. Here are a few pictures of the fair fun!

My Scrap Pink Calendar

As I posted last week, the ladies at Pocket Full of Papers are doing a challenge this week, with a portion of our proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I decided to do this adorable 2010 chipboard desk calendar, complete with a little display holder and a beautiful album in which to store the pieces of chipboard for the calendar months.

Here are just a few of the pictures. Of course you can see everything on eBay! If you would like to bid for a great cause, I invite you to come on over to eBay and check out our listings!

TIA!

Prayers please . . .

This is a card I made for a former co-worker's nephew who has been fighting neuroblastoma for about 4 years. I met this special little boy one time. He loves beagles, and since I do too, I decided to make this card for him. I put on the inside of the card that I was sending hugs and Lexi (our beagle) was sending slobbery kisses. I printed a photo of Lexi and included it with the card. I mailed the card last Tuesday, the day he went into the hospital with a fever of 103. He's been struggling since, and I've learned today that he passed away early this morning. I feel so bad because I should have mailed his card sooner!

Please, please say a prayer for the Koontz family. My heart breaks for them.

PFOP - Scrap Pink Week

The girls at Pocket Full of Papers, the design team on eBay that I am a part of, are doing a challenge beginning October 4th. Everyone on the team will be listing at least one item using the color pink, and a portion of the ending bid amount will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I ask you to consider checking out our listings next week and bidding on some great items!

This Place Is A Zoo

I had so many photos that it was tough figuring out how to arrange this one. I took over 100 pictures that day, and I ended up with very few with the animals in them. Of course, the people are the most important thing anyway. Hope you like our memories of our trip to the zoo!

Check Out This Scary Layout!

This is listed on eBay right now. I love this layout! Wish me luck!

Hunting Eggs

Ashlyn had a blast last year hunting eggs at our house on Easter Sunday. As you can see from the pictures, they were hidden in some pretty unusual spots, including the dog's bowl (empty of course). I used the Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge for the title and the large tag (that is mostly hidden behind the pictures). I'm loving this cartridge!

TFL!

A Little Privacy Please!

I think I'm going to really like the Cricut Sweethearts cartridge, and I got it cheap -- a good combination! These pictures were taken of Ashlyn last year as we were getting ready to go to the zoo. She decided she needed to potty. Of course I thought she looked so cute with those sunglasses, I had to grab the camera! Don't ya know she's going to be so mad at me when she's 16!

It's All About The Cross . . . Walk

A layout I've been working on all week! The journaling tells the story:

Several of us from church decided to participate in the 2008 Cross Walk on Good Friday. It began at Oak Forest United Methodist Church and proceeded to Midway United Methodist Church. What a blessing to see people carrying a replica of the cross that Jesus died upon. It truly made me mindful of the fact that Jesus bore a cross, was beaten, and then died on it for us. At the end of the walk, we gathered in the cemetery at Midway for a short service. Shortly after we arrived, someone yelled, “Look -- In the Sky!” When I looked up, there was a perfectly formed cross, made by the vapors of jets. It was a gift from God to us.

Age is Just a Number!

I made this card for a co-worker who refuses to tell her age. The inside of the card says, "Yours just happens to be unlisted." Hope you like it!
