Our newest addtion



Isn't she cute?! She was born about 2 1/2 weeks premature, so her legs were going every whichway, but it's amazing how quickly they straightened up and were strong! She's 12 days old today.

Altered Canvas

Below is an altered canvas I did as part of a birthday present to my travelin' buddy. I painted the canvas first with Plaid Folk Art paint in the Linen color. Then I sponged the edges with CTMH Desert Sand ink. I also colored the chipboard letters with Desert Sand. Kim loved it!!

Suz Scrap Challenge #5

Here's this week's challenge. I'm still using Studio J and the Vintage Travel kit as I'm working on one page from each of the places that we visited. Each Studio J page will contain an overview of each port, where all of my other pages will be traditional scrapping and many photos from the same place. I figured this was a good introduction to each section.Below is Challenge #4. It's from the Imagine book and is called Stars Above, page 92. You'll need to use your Imagine book as this is not one of the layouts that we can share.I hope you're busy finishing up weeks one, two and three. If you're having trouble uploading to the Facebook Fan page, please let me know. Click on the layout and it will open larger for viewing.
