ipod touch

This girl of mine is OBSESSED with her Daddy's ipod touch. She LOVES to play the games on it and her favourite is the one she is showing in the picture, where she gets to dress up the girl in outfits and choose accessories and a pet for her. I feel bad for her Daddy though, now when he comes home it is "hi daddy, can I have the ipod?" instead of her usual excitement to see him...it is all about the ipod..lol!

I did this layout for a challenge over at A Million Memories to scrap a photo that you just took. Speaking of A Million Memories, I am thrilled to have been chosen as the December Guest Designer!! Hooray!! Check it out here. They have amazing kits over there and a fabulous community of scrappers:-)

I also included acrylic paint in this layout, which is the challenge going on right now over at Practical Scrappers. I used the paint to edge my cardboard heart and the edges of my patterned paper circles!

Peace on Earth Card

Well it is a gorgeous, sunny day here and it does not even feel close to Christmas yet but here I am working away on Christmas cards and other Christmas projects!!! This card works for the Crazy 4 Challenges - this week's challenge is to use acetate. I used the cute little acetate snowflakes by Heidi Swapp. Everything else is Close to my Heart.

Off to enjoy the sunshine out for a walk with my dogs!! Enjoy your day!

Journaling Paper - Making Memories

I also thought I would show you how I made my flowers with a few stamps and tissue paper:) For my first step, I stamped a flower onto cardstock and cut it out. I am using this as my template. I then traced it out onto four layers of tissue paper and cut this out. I then stamped a background stamp onto each layer. Finally I poked a hole through the center of them all and adhered them together with a brad. Voila, the tissue paper flower is now ready for my project! Fun! Hope you try it!
