Mojo Monday card sketch


Mojo Monday has some great card sketches, which is what I need to finish off my
Christmas cards, LOL. This card is based on this week's sketch. I used BG's Eskimo Kisses line for this one.

Gracie & Grandpa


For this week's sketch over at ScrapSketch.com. I kept this one pretty simple, to go along with the random photos of Gracie & Grandpa enjoying the nice weather on a Sunday afternoon in November.

Some Christmas projects

Just wanted to share a few of the projects I've made from the {SAS}sy Scrapbook University "holiday edition": a Santa belly bucket to hold Christmas candy, two shadowboxes featuring older holiday photos of my kids, and an altered wooden basket with Christmas greenery. Fun projects!

Gracie's first Halloween


I know it's almost Christmas, but I just finished this Halloween layout of my granddaughter. She's a little too young for trick or treating this year, but she still looked "adorabool" in her Halloween outfit!
