Binkie baby!

I used CTMH Animal Cookies paper for this one. Really like the bright colors against the white. I double po-dotted the binkie in the klarge phot to make it "pop".

BASEBALL!!

Here is a LO I did for my son. I tried a few new (to me) technigues...lacing, flip flaps (from CTMH...FABULOUS!!!), stamping on ribbon and machine stitching. It was a fun one to make!



This is lacing with ribbon and eyelets.




These are the flip flaps that adhere to the outside of the page protector. I have filled them with the trading cards my son had for each season of baseball. They can be layered as many levels deep as you want. Super fun and easy way to display more images and to also make your pages interactive!

SCUBA

I made this LO of my son, husband and daughter and their experience of becomming certified n Scuba while we were in Maui. My husband and son needed to become certified so they could go on a Seabase scuba trip with Boy Scouts and my daughter decided it was too much fun to pass up!!

Sweet Dreams

Here is a LO I made of various pictures of my son sleeping. Sometimes he would fall asleep in the most unusual locations...like climbing the stairs!

Finally some LO's completed!!!!

It's been awhile, but I fonally got a few minutes to do a few LOs!

This LO is called ME ALLIGATOR! It is from a trip to FL when my son fell in love with alligators and selected a plastic alligator as his favorite friend. He carried it everywhere!

Partners For Animal Welfare Society

Partners for Animal Welfare Society, Inc. or P.A.W.S. is a 501(c)(3) entity and an Indiana not-for-profit corporation operating solely in Hancock County, Indiana. Our mission is to promote animal welafare through humane education and pet population control. Education is the cornerstone of all we do. Our programs include a foster pet program, a pet food pantry for low income pet owners, low cost spay/neuter programs and assistance, off-site adoption events for our foster pets and animal control shelter pets, and our classroom humane education programs.

I volunteer for P.A.W.S. and have adopted two cats from them..and hopefully a puppy very soon!!! I found a way to combine my scrapbooking hobby with my animal welfare passion...I am making cards for P.A.W.S. to sell at their fundraisers. A wonderful CTMH Consultant donated her stamp set called Puppy Love...here are cards I made with that set. I just bought the CTMH set called Purr.Fect...a cat counterpart to Puppy Love...so expect cat cards soon!!!

Cards, Cards, Cards!!!

I have never made cards before but have decided to venture out and give it a try! I LOVE all my new stamp sets from CTMH...perfect for cardmaking! Also I see how cardmaking is a great way to use up scraps from scrapbooking!

I DID IT !!!!!

Here is a LO I did for my son's graduation from Preschool. The paper set is School Zone from Close to My Heart.

First Haircut

Well I FINALLY got started on my son's album for his high school graduation in May 2010! Here is a LO I did on his first haircut. The stylist, Kathy sure is concentrating hard!!! I had saved a lock of his hair and included that in the LO in a shadowbox I made. I laugh at my hubbies glasses...could they have been any bigger?! lol
