Scrapbooking, My 3 Gnomes

Oh it has been so long since I have scrapbooked. I have had so little time to do any. I feel like I am constantly cleaning! The little bit that has gotten completed, hasn't made its way onto my little spot on the web. How did I not post a single thing last year! Yikes! I have been doing many other projects for my home, for girl scouts (I'm a leader for my daughter's troop) and I am teaching art at my kid's school and that has been quite the adventure. Their district got rid of art teachers 40 years ago, so parents come in and teach to fill in the gap. This year I am going in for my son's first grade class, my daughter's fourth grade class and another fourth grade class where no parent would come and do it. I did this last year to and now I've got a good system going and I have a bit more time. Plus my littlest guy can keep himself occupied now, so I have found a bit more time.

I found a scrapbooking challenge, that sparked my desire to scrapbook again. So I made this layout of my three kids. I really miss doing challenges and being on a design team. Deadlines really helped me stay on top of scrapbooking!

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
