Weeks 7 & 8

Projtec 365, I can't take credit for Week 7, this was a pre-done layout I think I got from my mom a few years ago, but it fit the week, the pictures and the colors perfectly, and uses up stash - woohoo!!





Week 8: This is from the Petals & Paisleys SU Double Sided DSP
I think it really came together well with my pics and colors, as usual most of the pics are of my little monkey!

Days 40-42, Project 365

Day 40: Why the heck are Little People in my shoes? Oh yea I put them there, Maddy got caught in the act :)


Day 41: So here's are little speed racer, great at right turns, although we try to get her going the other way, because when you enjoy Nascar there's only one direction to go. So she runs around the island now yelling "Left Turn, Left Turn" we gently correct her and tell her she's doing right turns, or urge her the other direction. She's trying out her new Nike's, so here's the cute part. We went to Kohl's last night, and Chris was trying on shoes, so she had to. So I said ok, you want to try on the Nike's? She goes Nike, OOoOOoOOooo, a kid after my own heart, I will turn her into a shoe nut yet, of course we think she may already be, she picks out what shoes she wants to wear whenever we go out (even if they are slightly inappropriate (i.e. sandals in the winter), but I figure if she actually went to the trouble of putting them on and they are on the correct feet, I go with it :)



Day 42: Here's Maddy helping Daddy out in the garage and loving it, by loading up her wheelbarrow with wood and handing him his tools. He is very appreciative of her help!!

Project 365, Week 6 Layouts

Here is my Week 6 Layout, really came out nice, again using that free chipboard set my mom scored at Joann's. And finally used a full length rub on on my sheet! This was from the Love and Happiness, SU SAB 2007. I also used Crystal Effects on top of a lot of the embellies on the Left Side Page, also a first for me.





I really love how I am using items I have only bought and coveted, plus I am actually learning how to use them and how well they really work for some really neat effects.

Feb 5, Day 36, Project 365

Well after rummaging through the closet to find a mitten for Maddy before we left the house, I knocked off a couple of Chris' pilot hats onto the floor, in my hurry I didn't put them back right away, while doing some dishes, Maddy came running back towards the kitchen proudly sporting his hat, backwards, it was just too darn cute!

Week 5, Project 365 Layout


Loving this project, you will notice I am missing a picture, but I thought it was wiser to continue printing multiple pics on a piece of photo paper rather than waste a sheet, so today or tomorrow I will print out the picture for this and re-upload with the completed layout.

All the embellies was from a kit my mom picked up for me at Joanns' on cleareance, when she tried to ring it up, there were som issues, so the lady got the manager, and they came over and just gave her the kit for free since there was no valid sku, so my mom got 2 one for her and one for me, it's a neat kit, over 1400 pieces of chipboard, about 30 sheets of designer paper, pages of stickers, and it all coordinates, so it's been fun using it up.

From My Big Sis, DDSS Round 13


Isn't this just the cutest card, I got this in the mail from Big Sis, and just had to show it off, it uses some of the items found in the Recent SU Valentine's Day Bundle. I just love how she put it all together, and think it would be also delightful as an Anniversary Card.

Day 33, Project 365

Well here's Maddy's Valentine gift from her Auntie Mike (don't ask on the name) :) I decided to take the gift out of the package and by mistake left it on the table in it's nice wrapping. Well Maddy had no issue taking off the ribbon and unwrapping the gift, I think she must have thought she was out of practice since she hadn't opened any gifts in a couple of weeks.
Isn't this just an adorable shirt, her Auntie did good!!

Day 32, Project 365


So you may think I have missed a few days, but I haven't , I am just all caught up on my layouts, so figured until I was ready to print out this weeks pictures I better put them on my blog so I can remember why I took the picture :)

So here's Day 32, Feb 1, someone (Maddy), got caught with her hand in the M&M jar. That little sneak just pulled a stool up to the island, climbed up and went to town. She did this while Chris and I were concentrating on a very intense game of Trivial Pursuit :)
