Nature Baby Mobile

  I'm really excited to share this really darling baby mobile that I made for my cousin.  It was a special request for mushrooms, pine trees, and hedgehogs.  I felt it needed an owl too.  If you know my cousin, then you know this woodland theme is totally her.  I really enjoy making these.  If anyone wants me to make them one, I would love to do it!  They are so relaxing to make.   After I made it, I wanted to compare it to ones I made in the past.  For my daughter I made this bunny mobile  and a couple of years ago I made this  bear mobile  for my niece.  I noticed I only had four hanging things as apposed to the six I've made in the past, but each critter/thing is a bit more detailed.  I think it was due to the smaller wooden hoop.  I used a wooden one instead of a plastic one for a nature feel and the wooden was that I found was smaller.   The owl is one of my favorites....

  Here is the video for my latest layout.  Hope you enjoy my rambles.

Scrapbooking, Hoppy Egg Hunt

  Hooray it's Monday!  I've got a really bright layout to share today. I've been wanting to do a big string art inspired title for a while, and it finally worked out on this layout.  The title was fun to do, but it takes forever.  Well, it took a few hours as I watched some anime and I know that slowed me down a bit.      This page was made for make it Monday over at the Memory Nest using this sketch.  I was fairly faithful to the sketch again.  Not too many tangents.     I have done some cross stitching way back when so I think that's why I like to stitch on my layout.     I added some cute stamps.  I really wanted to add another stamped egg, but couldn't find a good spot for it to "hide."     I used my own enamel dots again!   I've got a process video coming for this layout.  Hopefully, I'll have it up by Monday evening (west coast time).

Scrapbooking, Daffodil Hop

  Happy Monday!  I'm a little late in getting this up, but I had to finish making something for someone and get it in the mail today!  I procrastinated a little too much.  I'll post about it in a week or so!  Anyways, It's my favorite time of year.  Tulip time!  Ok, this layout is about daffodils, but I see daffodils every time I go see the tulip fields.  While this layout is about the flowers from a few years back I did see the tulips again this year on Saturday.  I took lots of photos and I'm just realizing now that I got a few very similar photos this year of my daughter and husband!  Oh I can't wait to scrap them!   I made this layout for the Memory Nest's Sketch for make it Monday .  I was very true to the sketch which doesn't happen all that often.  I had a few ideas for "big title," but they didn't work with the photos and space this time.  Be on the lookout from some big titles in the future though...
