Berry Pickin

So... I was so excited to get my new kit from Paper Poppy Kit Co. last week!! Thanks Beatriz for sharing this great little kit with us!! I loved the papers and all the embellies that came with it, but I must admit, these are papers I would not normally pick out when in a scrapbooking store... but I think that is why I liked it so much!!

I have had pictures I wanted to scrap but had not gotten to it... probably because I never had the right papers... but these are perfect!! These pictures are of my daughter and I with her cousins out raspberry pickin' last summer!! We had soooo much fun and picked soooo many raspberries that I didn't know what to do with all of them.!!! After eating several, and making cobblers, my sister, my mom and I decided to make raspberry jam!! YUMM!! And it actually tasted great!! I used the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays for this LO.

I actually stuck to it pretty well this time!! There is always a first time for everything!! lol!!

Here are a few more close ups!

Supplies used:

Most Papers and embellies came from the Paper Poppy Kit

The only supplies I added were some cardstock, the white lace and a few brads!

Cricut: Graphically Speaking, Give a Hoot

I have another LO using these same papers that I will be posting tomorrow! Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog and take a peek... and as always, thank you so much for your kind words you leave me each time you visit!! It totally makes my day!! Barb :)

Catch a Wave

Okay... here's the deal... Sketchy Thursdays had this really great sketch and I thought it would be fun to use it for a LO... but funny thing.... my LO looks nothing like the sketch!! How does that happen?! I guess once I had my papers picked (which I really liked and wanted to use) the sketch kind of needed to be rearranged to fit with my pictures and papers!! LOL!! So.... here is the sketch....

And here is my LO....

Seriously... you would never know that I started with the sketch... Oh well, the good news is that I really like the way it turned out!! :) And we all know that is all that really matters!! LOL!!

These are some more pictures of my son surfing in Maui.... I seriously never thought we were going to get him to come back home with us.... he LOVED it!! You may remember the other LO I did of him surfing ... Surf's Up... and I think this goes really well with it without looking too planned.... after all, he is 17, we wouldn't want his LOs to look planned!!  :)  You can find the other LO by clicking HERE! 

Supplies used:

Papers: DCWV - Fun In The Sun

Cricut: Sentimentals (Waves) and Graphically speaking

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and looking! Your comments mean so much!! Barb :)

Dog Gone Tired

I had some extra time to play around with my scrapbooking this weekend and was able to complete a few LOs!! Gotta love a lazy weekend!! (Although I wouldn't say it was too lazy... I managed to get all the walls and trim washed down in about 7 rooms and touched up the trim with fresh paint!! That's productive, right?!) So this LO was done from a sketch I found at Practical Scrappers. It is of my daughter, Lauren, and our dog Jasmine... who seems to be totally enjoying herself!!  LOL!! So, I decided to stitch the flower which I thought was a great idea until I was only half way done and realized how rediculously long it was taking!! To add a little extra, I strung on a few beads... really like the way that looks!!

Cartridges are Graphically Speaking and All Mixed UP
Paper is DCVW and American Crafts

As always, thank you for stopping by my blog and looking at my LO!! Have a fabulous Sunday!
