Scrapbooking, Make A Wish 2017

Happy Monday! It has been a busy time at my house. Lots of birthdays in the summer for us! My daughter just had her party this weekend. Few, I'm glad it is done. It was chaos! A lot of smoke has been coming down from fires in Canada and we haven't been able to spend much time outside because of the poor air quality. It's also been in the 90s almost every day and most of Seattle has no air conditioning. Being stuck in a hot house that can't have the windows open is no fun.

Anyways, here is my memory nest layout. My husband had to fly to Toronto for work on my son's birthday, so we went to the zoo the day before and did things we don't normally get to to like feed animals and ride the carousel there. I still wanted to do something on his birthday, so we gathered the neighborhood kids and had a mini celebration on our driveway. It was cute, fun, and easy. These are the photos I took. I had a bunch, and this layout made it easy to get a lot on. Also, I got that frame maker from we r memory keepers....I made the rainbow frame with it. Since I use so many frames on my layouts, I thought it would be worth getting it. It works well and I'm glad I bought that tool.

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
