Jayci on the slide

Just wanted to get this LO up!!! Grace sent me these pics and I knew I had to scrap them!! But they were way too busy and had too much color in them. So my solution for this was to turn the picture black and white except for Jayci! to keep the focus on her!! It ended up taking me quite a while but the finished project was well worth the effort.

"It's all about love" from DigitalArts-Cafe

Here is what I have done part of today!! Can you tell I love this kit!! I got it as a freebie at DigitalArts-cafe


Isn't that smile just the most B-U-tiful smile you have even seen. Jayci is such a ham when it comes to taking pictures. She just smiles and poses, and if you don't take the pic quick enuf she runs to you and you don't get the pic!!

I fixed this per Laura's excellent advise! Journaling reads:
There is this man that comes around town selling fruit and vegetables. Well he always stops by here, and I buy from him. He so fell in love with jayci that he gave her that pear. Actually he gave her 5 of them. But she didn't want to hold it, she wanted her pappy to hold it for her and for him to feed her. It was rather comical, you can see her keeping her hands out of the way and reaching to get a bite coz Pappy is not paying attention!!

June Challenge LO's

Well I have been very busy this month!! I have finished 5 of the 6 challenges from DigitalArts-Cafe


Here is the font challenge:

I choose this picture of my granddaughter who was staying the week with us at the time. She was always getting into all my shoes and putting them on, and strewing them from one end of the house to the other! Then when you get out the camera and tell her to say cheese she turns to look at you and smiles soooo cute!! Can anyone say proud Yaya, yes I am Yaya not granny or grandma.

This is the Lyric Challenge LO:

This picture is of my wonderful husband baby-sitting our 8 day old granddaughter. do we all see who is awake and who is asleep. So instead of any baby-sitting going on there is pappy-sitting going on. Yes She call him Pappy and me Yaya. Well we always were strange, and this just proves it. The kit I used on this LO was a posting bonus from one of last months challenges!! If y'all haven't checked out DigitalArts-Cafe
you really should!! It is an awesome place to hang!!

Here is the Journaling Challenge LO:

This is Jayci and her great-great-granddad, my granddad! She is 3 months old and he just turned 89 the month before this was taken. He couldn't get over how wonderful she was! He talked to her and played with her, we had a lot of fun. That was also the day that she met her great-great aunts Barbara and Debbie and her mom's cousin Justin, whom she spit up all over, he really didn't want to hold her again after that!! LOL

This LO inspired by Laura Anderson's June Journaling Layout "4 Generations" also @ DigitalArts-Cafe



Here is the Quote Challenge LO:


These pictures ended up being perfect for this challenge. The quotes were about fathers, and I don't have many pictures of my daddy, so I decided to change it up a little bit and use pappy instead. You should see Jayci's face light up when she sees her Pappy. It is almost like night and day difference. And this girl can light up a room trust me.

This is the Color Challenge LO:

Isn't she precious.... kinda like a piranha with all those teeth... The journalling reads something about her sweet smile not fooling anyone because what she was really trying to do is maneuver enough to bite my feet. And I am assuming (yes I know, but look at them) you can see all those teeth. Trust me too, she does know how to use them.

May '08

This of course is my beautiful granddaughter Jayci Nichole. She was helping my dear hubby, her "pappy" do the dishes one night while she was staying the week with us. She helped put the dishes in the sink, then proceeded to get the bubbles out and put them on her leg.
She was washing her legs more than she was washing the dishes.
In the end I think she was wetter than anything else in the kitchen.
So if anyone needs help making a mess in the kitchen while pretending to do the dishes Jayci is the person to call!!

A Kit I am working on!!

Well I am working on a kit to give away hopefully next month!! And that seems to be sneaking up on me quicker than I thought. So I have 2 days till next month, and I haven't finished the kit or signed up for a place to share it!! So I need to get my bum in gear.
Here is a small sample of what I am working on and have actually gotten done so far...
This is the papers so far!! Maybe I can upload part of them for the first week or something like that!! And then do the rest of them and get the elements done and put them in a download for later in the month.

Jayci on Hawk

This is the main person I scrap about. My granddaughter Jayci. And her mom... lol

This is Jayci and Grace on Hawk the horse. She liked riding him some what, but was fighting allergies at the time so wasn't really into it. this was a Mother's Day/Birthday party for my son Zachary, who turned 21, 3 days prior.
I got this great digi kit @ DigitalArts-Cafe just for signing up! And I made this with it and turned it into a Quick Page and sent it in for a challenge and will be getting in return all of the QuickPages made.... How cool is that. So head on over to DigitalArts-Cafe and join up get your kit and make a quick page!!

Dylan and Poppa

This is Dylan and Poppa. My poppa was mowing the yard and Dylan wanted to help.... So off they went. It was way too cute to not take a few pictures.

the background was made in a texture tutorial chat several years ago with Kristie at SBB, using a texture from a now defunk website. The font used is CK Plain Jane. there are really no other elements to speak of, just the texture....

A few crafty things

Here are a few things I have made:


Here is a Card Tote I made some time ago.























Inside....














This is a photo cube....





Another card holder.....













Open flap up showing pocket... (sorry about the glare)

I hope y'all like everything, hopefully I will get into my studio and get busy making something soon!!

Well hopefully I will get to this area a little more often in the future. I hope to post pics of my grandaughter Jayci, and some scrapbook projects I am working on. Any ideas please let me know!!
