New Projects

I've been so busy here ~ I've created some DT projects, but mostly, I've been working on my own "art project".   I'm getting close to being done with it and can't wait to show it off!!

Here's my Turtle Soup February card for the DT reveal.  It's based on a sketch by Bev Code.  This is a hybrid card and I used patterned papers and elements from the Dmogstad Lucky In Love collection.

Here's Bev's sketch:

Here's my double page layout for Project 12 ~ January 2014, based on a sketch by Lisa Moen.

If you'll click on it, it will enlarge and you can see more of the detail.

My grandkids are SO funny!  One of them is ALWAYS making a funny face in almost every picture.  The picture where I have the arrow and "Photo bomb" is Cameron "photo bombing" and making that sober (very un-Cameron) face.  Haha  Of course, he yelled "photo bomb" when he jumped into the shot.

That picture of Alyssa pulling her eyelids down is typical of her.  The bottom left picture is a hoot, because Braden was talking to her and there she is making a face.  Of course, she saw me turn my camera toward them ~ he didn't.  I love that picture of Braden, though.  He's totally unaware.  Haha

Anyway, here's Lisa's January 2014 Project Life sketch:

I just LOVE her sketches ~ they always inspire me.

I hope you're having a Happy Hump Day and thanks for stopping by.

2014 Layouts

Can you believe it???  Where did January go?  

I've been creating some more layouts for challenges at Turtle Soup.  Here are a couple of "everyday moments" that I captured.

Ava, Alyssa and Asher were having a great time looking at Ava's phone.  I don't even think they knew that I took this picture.  My grandkids (and my kids) have all grown up with my camera in their faces and they don't even pay any attention to it anymore.  I love these un-posed shots!

I used Echo Park A Beautiful Life and the doilies are from Pixel Scrappers.

I know you've probably seen this picture before (if you read my blog) but I made this layout as a "companion piece" to the one above.  Again, it's an un-posed shot of Asher "smelling" a flower.

I've also been doing Project 12 over at Turtle Soup.  Lisa  has been creating awesome double page layouts for us for the past year.  

She just had a challenge to do a page on "2013 A Year In Review".  Here's what I came up with:

I really had fun putting this together.  All of them except the one of the 2 big boys are instagram prints.  The background patterned papers are Bo Bunny Mamarazzi.

One more ~ Lisa also issued a new challenge for us to make a cover page for our 2014 Project 12 album.  This was SO much fun to create!!

I'm not going to tell you that you won't see some of these pictures on my January Project 12 layout, because these are some of my favorite pictures of the kids.  They were ALL here weekend before last and I was a photo taking fool!!  I'll TRY to mix it up, but again, no promises.  I KNOW I'll use some of these on a layout soon ~ even if it's not January Project 12.

I'll be posting Monday for sure ~ that's Eureka Stamps reveal day.  Hope to see you then.
