A Card, A Layout and a Toot!

The Sketch this week from 2 Sketches 4 You. For my card I incorporated the 365 Challenge for today (to include circles, scallops and bling)
Pattern Paper: MAMBI
Cardstock: CTMH
Die Cut: MAMBI
ribbon:CTMH
gems: Michael's
Cricut: Plantin Schoolbook

The sketch this week from Creative Scrappers: Here is my page. I think it qualifies for the Scrapping Out Loud challenge for this week 'It's all about Mom'. Why you say? Well it is only because I am a mom that I would develop then scrap this dorky picture of hubby and I (taken by our darling little girl), and then put it on a website! The journalling is the reason I scrapped this picture. It is about how Mother's Day and Jason's birthday were on the same day last year, and on the same day as an out of town track meet. Danica didn't want us to miss out so she secretly made these hats for us (in my craft room before we left) and planned a little party at the hotel. What a sweetie! Of course it goes along with the theme of this page I posted before!

The owls and the blurb are on foam squares. The pompoms of the hats have been fun flocked.


Pattern Papers: Scenic Route; WRMK
Cardstock: CTMH; Jillibean Soup(Kraft)

I am also doing the happy dance here! I have a card chosen for the October 2009 Cards magazine!!!
