February Swap

Our challenge this month was to use one of the Paper Wishes folding templates. I decided to use the links. I like how the colors on this turned out!

January Card Swap at Paper Wishes

Now that Michelle has received her card, I can post what I sent her! I love Penny Black cat stamps - this one just makes you giggle!

New Pages to Share!

Went to a crop this weekend at Stamp and Scrap Nest and got a few pages finished! Two more mosaic pages to show you!

This one is my favorite - I just love how the colors came out!










I finally got the whole page together! This is the one where I worked on the frame for about 6 hours! The colors on the right side don't go as well together, but I still like it!










I love Leyda's facial expressions in these pictures - they really capture her surprise when she opened the gift and found a cell phone!

2009 in Review

I made this for a class I'll be teaching at Wiggles and Giggles in February. Tried to get it in January but the calendar was full! At first I thought I didn't have much to put in a year-in-review type page, but I ended up taking some things out! Our biggest events for 2009:

- We got a new car
- I had my first publication
- Judy and Hunter bought their first house

Happy New Year Everyone!

A "Nancy Project"

My friend Kim is always kidding me about my "Nancy Projects." I always seem to get myself in trouble by deciding to do something really detailed. This time I was working on a scrapbook page for my grandson's softball team, The Bucks. The store didn't have any camouflage paper, so I bought some cardstock in appropriate colors and was going to make my own. Then I remembered a technique I had seen Nathalie Metivier from Megenta stamps do where she cut the paper in small wedges and created a mosaic look. Here's my final effort (not a page yet, but at least the frame is done!)

Christmas Cards

I've finally gotten a good bulk of my Christmas cards done. I used two main designs this year:

Star Wars and LegoFest

Our charge this week was to make a layout for the LegoFest coming to Hartford, CT. I had Star Wars. To make it a little more interesting, I combined pictures of my grandson, Gavin who is 2 this year wearing the costume his brother wore several years ago as Luke Skywalker. Then I took pictures of Nathan from year-before last when he was Darth Vader. Good and Evil - that was it! Here's the result:
