Sleeping Buddies





My cats are the closest thing I am ever going to get to having children.  I take so many pictures of them it is pathetic.  They spend so much time with me while I craft, watch tv, or even hang out on the deck.  They are the best company and are always waiting for me when I wake up and get home from work.  I captured these cute pictures when they were sleeping together on the unmade bed.  Crazy kitties!  I used Echo Park Designer paper, Stampin Up Pool Party and Island and Bazzill yellow paper to make this layout!

Snow Day






Working through my winter pictures, this is the same winter storm in February of 2014.  I used Echo Park and Bo Bunny for this layout.  I chose brown as the background because of the color of my deck and furniture.  I did not like the plain background of the brown paper, so I hand stamped the white snow flakes.

Flurries of Fun






While it is 80 degrees here, I am being reminded of a big winter storm in 2014.  It was so much fun!  We had about 20 inches of snow and I got to use my sled down my backyard hill.  Of course, I bundled up like an Eskimo because I cannot stand the cold! My dream weather is 100 degrees while being in a nice pool floating around! I used Echo Park I Love Winter to create this page.

Father's Day Card 2017







I enjoyed creating this Father's Day Card.  I used Lawn Fawn's Puffy Cloud Dies, and layered five die cuts per cloud.  This provided me good dimension and made the clouds look puffy!  I also sponged Close to My Heart Slate Gray on the Cloud.  For the background, I sponged Close to My Heart Glacier, then Stampin Up Soft Sky and Stampin Up Pacific Point.
