Card Base - Kraft
Papers - doodlebug designs "boys only"

"The Sweet Life" stamp - Cards TV With Mary "Sweet Talk"
"Happy Birthday" stamp - CTMH "Special Occasions"

Bike stamp - American Crafts "Sing Along" (embossed with clear powder)
I doodled with white jelly roll pen to bring it all together (of course)

I hope Yall like it!  This was a perfect way to use some of my scraps that I just can't seem to trash! :)

Hat a Holic Layout

Hey Yall,

I wanted to show Yall a layout I just finished.  My son is so cute.  Every time he goes in a store he always finds a hat to wear while we are there.  No matter how big or small....women or mans...he just has to wear one.

Papers - Recollections and LilyBee Designs
Letters and numbers - Crate Paper
Large Bracket Die Cut - QuicKutz cookie cutter die

Ribbon - from stash
Brown ink pen
Doily - Dollar spot at Michael's
Ink - Tim Holtz "Bundles Sage"

I do not usually use yellow in any of my layouts but since he was wearing a yellow shirt I thought this would be a great opportunity for my to use yellow.

I hope Yall like it,

Az-E Bear Layout

Hey Yall,

I had so much fun making this layout of my sweet little boy, Azland.  I have always called him "my Az-e bear" for the longest time so when I took this picture I knew what the title had to be! :)

The papers are all from LilyBee Designs (love them so much)
the white paint splatters is Gesso
I cut the triangle banner from a square punch and stung "juke" for the string
The stars are a Christmas garland I got for 1.00 at the Goodwill and cut them off of that string
I cut the tags out of a die cut I have
The title letters are from Recollections
**I entered this layout in the LilyBee June Sketch if Yall want to join in on the fun!!!

I hope Yall like it!!!

My new "Seweasy" Tool :)

Hey Yall,

I wanted to share mt new tool I just got today! Super excited about it.  I have been having my eye on it for a while now but did want to invest the money.  WELL...Michael's has a 50% off coupon this week so I was able to get started with out braking the bank! :)

 I DID NOT purchase the cutting mat....why spend the money when you can use something you already have.  SO....I had a piece of kids foam sheet and that worked PREFECT!.  You can also use a mouse pad :)  It was super easy and so much fun! I can't wait to use it on a layout!...or whatever :)

I hope Yall give it a try!
