happy b-day sis

My sister-in-law had a birthday yesterday. So I put together this card for her. I took some silly photos of my family and I poked them all into this layout that I got from M Originals. There's some really nice layout ideas there!

Poor Old Sarah

I got really into digital scrapbooking when Angie at ScrapScene hooked me up with Jessica Sprague's Photoshop Phriday tutorials. This layout is inspired by one of her tutorials. It shows our poor old dog receiving some Love (whether she wants it or not) from our three year old.

Stuffies

Here's my second installment in the scrapbooking 'club' over at overlooked . It was all about collections. I decided to showcase my daughters collections of stuffed animals and dolls.

The papers were all homemade, pulling colours from the photograph. The arrows and the letters spelling 'stuffies' were free downloads from Shabby Princess . The photographs are all my own.

Goodbye to friends

Our really great friends are moving far, far away and we are going to miss them terribly. I did up this page so our daughter could send a goodbye message to her first boyfriend.

More Craftiness

I think I've been influenced by my husbands clear infatuation with Wendy from "She's crafty" because I keep finding myself taking on more actual hands on crafting. It may also have something to do with the fact that I find myself at the cottage without my computer for days on end. Regardless, here's a little of my latest stuff...

I created a leaf stamp background inside the photo holder so it could hang as an artwork or as a photo frame. The canvas is covered in botanical papers that I tore into little tiny pieces then glued on randomly. There's a couple of leaf skeletons. One beside the frame and another in the bottom, left corner. The frame is a faux woodgrain covered chipboard that used to be the back of an old entertainment stand.
