Mario Layout

Let me start by saying how sorry I am for the lack of posting yet again. I am moving next week and have spent the last two weeks packing.

I needed a break this morning and decided to scrap a bit. I found sketch #244 from Creative Scrappers and got busy. Being creative sure is a stress reliever.

I LOVE this picture of Dax. For about 6 months, he had to wear this Mario costume every where. He would sleep in it, and as soon as he got home from school, he would put it back on. Thank goodness he had school, or it may have been a fight to get it laundered.

Owl Canvas

This cute little owl is painted on a 11x14 stretched canvas, and will be heading to my grand daughter Rachel in Minnesota soon.  I am working on a couple more painting before I actually ship them to her.

Just wanted to share it with all my lovely bloggie friends.

Green

I am moving in three short weeks and have been really procrastinating over the packing. I had to make a layout....yep...HAD too.  LOL  I am in a 52 week challenge over at the yahoo group Scrappin-N-Chattin. I couldn't ask for a pass the second week into it. We only get 5 passes to use the whole year. And when we use a pass one week, that just means we have to submit 2 layouts the following week.

This week I used the recent sketch from Boys Rule, and the oldie but goodie This & That collection by Echo Park. I LOVE it and have been hoarding it for some time now.

At the fall festival this past October, one of the fun activities for the kids was hair painting. Dax's favorite color is green, so that is what he chose. His hair is so white blonde, that it showed up neon green. It was great! 

Ok, back to procrastinating. Thanks for stopping by!  Pin It

In Review

I can't believe another year is coming to an end. Seems the older I get, the faster it goes.  

Did you get accomplished all you wanted to do in 2012? I thought I would share some of my favorite scrappy pages that I did throughout the year.

I have Scrapped!

I haven't been feeling very inspired scrappy wise lately. I have only created two layouts all month! And both of them have happened in the past few days.

I have lived in Southern Texas for 16 years, so it was nice when I received some snow pictures of my son Rick and my grand daughter Rachel playing in the snow. I never get to do snow layouts. These are both pretty simple layouts, but I am happy with the way they turned out.

the first one "Snow Angels"

the second one "Enjoying the SNOW"

Maybe 2013 will begin with more productivity from me.

Canvas Art

Oh how relaxing it is to sit and paint. I turn on a book on tape and get lost in the story for hours while I paint.  I did these two canvas's for my grand daughters Kalista and Laila's bedroom. I just love the bright cheerful colors. I chose these specifically for their room when I won them recently on My Color by Pantone's blog hop. I had never used their paints before, but I can tell you, I am a BIG fan now. They are so creamy and rich and glide right on. No, I am not being paid in any form for my opinion. They truly are great.

ok...on to the canvas's. 

I love how they turned out and can't wait to go hang them in their 

room.

Name Banner

Are you ready to take a break from your Christmas shopping and holiday preparations?  Well sit on down and get creative. This weeks challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot is to create a banner. Any type of paper banner. I made a banner for Dax's room. Poor child should never forget his name, as I have it all over his room...LOL.

I tacked it on the front of a shelf. I think it fits in perfectly with his old cars and street sign decor. (I know....the little heart cut out in the shelf doesn't really work...lol)

I ran the alphas through the Cuttlebug then gave them a good sanding.

Here is a close up of the flags that I created in Inkscape.

I can't wait to see what you create! Be sure to upload it before December 16th for you chance to win $20 Boys Bucks from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits
