Strike a Pose LO

I was feeling creative today and decided to scrap these pics of Emmalee from last year. She was playing with her bubble machine and hamming it up for the camera :) In honor of Earth Day, I used some supplies I've had in my stash for quite a few years. The design is not a Lisa Babcock original, but rather a borrowed sketch from my Reflections book.

It's Crochet Month and to celebrate, I decided to finish a project instead of starting yet another new one :)

I found the pattern for this ADORABLE bag on Lionbrand.com. I made one minor change...I thought it didnt really need to be felted, so I used some acrylic yarn I had in my stash instead of buying wool yarn. The only thing I didnt like about this project was the sewing :( Usually I choose patterns that work up in one piece, but all in all this wasnt too bad.

Unscripted Sketches #144

I'm so excited to be able to participate in a challenge today!!! I have been wanting to give the dryer sheet flowers a go and decided one would make a nice embellishment for this card. The picture was taken at night and doesn't quite capture the yumminess, but you get the idea ;) And BONUS, these flowers *smell* great! lol Note: I rotated and flipped the sketch to better accomodate my embellies.

You Melt my Heart!

After a long hiatus from crafting(since buying a new home and moving just before Christmas), I finally found time to work on some layouts today. I borrowed an archived sketch from Sketchy Thursdays as inspiration for this one. I just love these pics of Emmalee enjoying one of her favorite sweet treats...a frozen juice pop :)
