A card and some Ink Blending

Adding some work done over the past day or so. Up first will be My DGD's ink blending papers. She watched some videos from the Background Check class I am taking and tried some on her own! She did a really good job and wanted to know where I had kept all that fun stuff all this time! The second is a car I found on Pinterest and lifted. It was originally done by Mothermark at Splitcoast Stampers.

Sharing an organizational tip

I have tried numerous ways of storing my scraps so that I would use them and not hate putting them away after making a layout or card I think I found my answer. I have them all sorted by color and in the small Cropper Hopper paper holders. I then put them in one of the cubes of my book cases and I have been putting them away quickly and they are really handy when I am working on a card or layout.  Here's a shot of how they look!

In Flight

This page is the large and the small of the bird world.. I captured the photos of both birds
and extracted them.   You recognize the hummingbird I am sure and the other is a red tail hawk.

The digital products are all by Anna Aspnes.

A Fish Tale.

A fun page and a funny story! I used some old Cosmo Cricket from 2011 for the title. The rest are

Fishing Derby 2015

Here’s a double pager for the Fishing Derby 2015! Thrown annually by the Izaac Walton League.

Organization

I have been working in my scraproom lately as it seems to be the dumping grounds for whatever can’t find a home! I purchased two new bookcases and added them to the 9 cubes I already had. I kept moving things around due to the clutter. Hopefully this will put an end to it. I also got my clear stamps organized. I used Jennifer Mc Guire’s method and it worked beautifully! You can find it on You Tube or her blog which is listed on the right side of this page.

Butter in a Jar

When I was in third grade we made butter in a jar so the grands and I made it a week or so ago.  It was fun and they had a good time with it

I am back!

I know it has been a while since I posted but I just lost my mojo and have been busy. So I am back I hope. I have several ideas brewing in my head for pages so I should be here on a regular basis.  The layout I am posting today is done digitally.  We have had so much cold weather and snow that I thought I would share how high the piles of snow are getting and that we are expecting more Thursday.  Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks so much for looking!
