Scrapbooking, Autumn

I'm not sure why, but this page did not want to photograph in the right colors. The green really is a brighter green.... Anyways, I wanted to make a page that didn't scream fall but still had a fall feel. So I stayed away from leaf paper and candy corn embellishments. I thought the green, orange, and purple gave the feel I was going for. There is a little brown and yellow on the page too. I added a lot of little random embellishments so the page has almost a smash book feel to it.

The stamp calender is my newest obsession. I want to use it every layout. lol.

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs. We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs. Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick. Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us. There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes! Each glove puppet came with a poem. They are just to cute!

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own. So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!

Scrapbooking, Adore

Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them. I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love. This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus. I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy. I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page. It really is a random page for a random photo. This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration. I felt that they would make a fun background. At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk. I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol. I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use. At first, I was going to just paint the frames white, but then I decided to make them gray. I'm glad I made them gray because now they
