Recent Layouts

Here are a few more layouts that I created using the June kit from ScrapMuse.  This was such a fun kit to play with!

This photo is quite old, but has always been one of my favorites.  We were staying in a hotel on our way to Disney World, and my son and nephew found these shower caps and decided to wear them.   So glad I had my camera with me!

The kit this month included this sweet little mini book.  I altered mine to use as a gratitude journal.  The pages inside are lined, and it will be easy to add more pages to it.

And here's my new best friend, my sweet little Kiefer.  He has grown so much since since this photo was taken three months ago. 

Happy Father's Day!

My parents are leaving for North Carolina this weekend, so I won't get to see my dad on Father's Day.  I wanted to get this posted a few days early so he can see it before they leave.  Have a great trip!

 

This layout was created using the June kit from ScrapMuse.  I'll share more of my layouts with you over the weekend.

It's finally Thursday

............and I don't have to work tomorrow.  I need to go in over the weekend, because I didn't get much accomplished this week, but I'll think about that on Saturday morning (when I'm sure I'd rather stay home).

Kiefer (the puppy) seems to be feeling better.  The vet can't really tell what's wrong with him.  It could be one of many things.  He's now on 3 new medications, so hopefully they will help.  The good news is, he ate two meals yesterday and two meals again today.  He's lost weight and looks rather skinny, so I'll be happy when he fattens up a little.  But his poo still isn't normal.  Sorry if that's "TMI" but those things are important in a puppy.

Here's a layout I completed using the June kit from ScrapMuse.  I created the background on watercolor paper using a thick layer of gel medium.  After that dried, I applied a coat of thinned acrylic paint, and several washes and splatters of Glimmer Mist.  It was so much fun.  It all started with a fortune I found wrapped up in a fortune cookie at lunch that day.  It says, "If you continually give, you will continually have".  I stuck it in my purse and brought it home to add to my collage.  Everything I've used is from the June kit which is full of a great assortment of paper.

I challenged myself to scrap only photos of boys or men this month, since I tend to create layouts about all the beautiful women and girls I love so much.  I guess I cheated on my very first layout, but I knew this is one that Eryn would appreciate.  And she loved it so much that she is in the process of making her own background and collage.  I love what she's done so far!

Things are busy......

My father-in-law is in the hospital, and I just want him to get better so he can go home.  Everyone wants him to get better.  It's so difficult having a parent that's ill.  I know you're not supposed to worry about things, but that's not always so easy to do.

In addition, our puppy has been ill for about 2 weeks now.  He's not getting better, either.  So Wednesday we're back to the vet.  I suppose they will do an x-ray to see if there's an obstruction, to find out if that's what is causing him to no longer be interested in food

I've had very little time to scrap, and it's driving me crazy to have the fantastic June kit from ScrapMuse sitting here waiting for me.  I've managed to complete a couple of layouts.  I'll share one tomorrow.  Here's a photo of the kit.  Missy (the new owner of ScrapMuse) has done a awesome job choosing these fun patterned papers and embellishments.  I love, love, love chipboard shapes, and was super excited to have some in this month's kit!
