APRIL 2010

I have moved my posts from an old blog to this one and I have moved one month at a time.....I have been blogging far too long to post each one on a separate day. Enjoy the below post for the month mentioned in the tag line. 

Piggy Tales had some cute papers that we recently got into the store.  The reds match my "fired Brick" so well....and you know how I love using my Tim Holtz inks!!

Notes from the beach

I am adoring this line of paper from Graphic45 (of course).  The "On the Boardwalk" line is so cool!

Cross Country..state bound

My son and one other team member made another trip to state this year, this time as an individuals and not as part of the team.  But, the good kids on the team made the snowy trek down to WI Rapids to support their efforts.  We had a little bit of snow fall the night before the run on October 31, 2009.

Those school photos....

What do you do with those group photos you get every year?  I put them in the album to start off each year in my son's books.

Easter 2010

Hey, look at me, ahead of the game......for this year anyway.  Easter 2010 is in the book (ok, well, it is actually going to hang in the store for a while, but you know what I mean....)
I loved the pretty eggs on the bottom of this piece of paper, so you can't cover that up....right?  This satin ribbon in purple was the perfect addition to the pretty paper.  To give the chipboard flowers a little more pop I added the epoxy hearts to each petal and one to the center of the other flower.  Something a little fun and different to try.

Ski page

A little daredevil action from my youngest son.  Hard to see in the photo just because I was so far away taking it.  Not easy to take pictures from inside the nice warm ski lodge....lol

A quick card

Quick is probably not the right word for this since it took me several days of trial and error  to achieve this folded center.  I was convinced it could be done, I just kept going until it did.
I ended up using a 1/2" pop-dot to get the top layer to clear the folds, but I think that is too big, so next time I will try several stacked up ones to get to maybe a 1/4" to 3/8" instead.  I am going to attempt this one again...maybe you'll see it as a Make & Take on a Thursday down the line.
