Here are the projects I created for this blog hop :)

My Bookworm

I have been having fun lately doing monochromatic layouts,so I picked out all of the greens in the School is Cool collection (with a little bit of yellow) for this layout and used the ruler ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.

I added the black twine to this handmade tag.

 I also made this card:

I used a beautiful striped ribbon for this teacher's card.

Thank you so much to the ladies at the Ribbon Carousel for sending me such pretty things to play with :) Love them all :)

Now, lets talk prizes!

Our cute son number 2

Happy Monday !!!
Last week I fell in love with this palette from the Colour Suite on the Scrapbooks and Cards today blog. I have never done one of these challenges before......I could not help myself for playing along this month...I just love these colors !!! and I just happen to have papers in these shades on my desk to play with :)

This is what I created with it :)

Our cute son number 2

I used a mix of My Mind's Eye ,Jillibean Soup and Elle's Studio.

That Mama's boy sticker is perfect for this little fella !!! He's home sick today and sure needs his mommy :)

I really enjoyed playing along, thank you Ms Summer Fullerton.

Bye for now....off to check on the little man :)

Lazy Summer Days- PageMaps sketch challenge

Hello scrappy friends, just an other quick post of a layout I created with the Summer Fresh collection from Simple Stories ....love,love,love this collection !!! I used the August sketch from PageMaps blog for this one:)

Lazy Summer Days

I used the Summer bingo card as part of my title.

The brads are from Crate Paper and the corrugated flower from Jillibean Soup.

Love the denim paper, it's my favorite :)

Here's the sketch I used from PageMaps....I flipped it from left to right.

Thanks for visiting :)....so happy it's Friday tomorrow !!!!

My little guys

Hi ladies, I'm home alone for the first time in weeks !!! The boys and hubby are at grandma and grandpa's house and are staying for dinner :) ahhhhhhhh ! It's so quiet !!!! LOL!

I made this layout during the weekend using a sketch from Nicole at Jillibean Soup. I love doing these challenges because they make me use up all my current JB stash......so I don't feel guilty about buying all of the new collections when they come out !!! Love me some JB :) !!

My little guys 

I used supplies from many different collection for this one. I do love to mix and match !!! 

I made the flowers from the "hexagon" paper from the Macho Nacho collection. It's funny when you stare a piece of paper long enough ,you start to see things :)

 Love these kraft tags for title and journaling .

and an other close up :)

and here's Nicole's sketch (Thanks for an other great one).

Thanks for visiting,I'm off to spend some quality time on my sofa to watch some more of the Olympics !

Now for some creative stuff :) I created this layout of the boys at the United Kingdom Pavilion (Epcot) . The supplies are from Jillibean  Neopolitan Bean Bisque and a bit of the Macho Nacho Soup :)
