Another day and another LO! :)

Another LO from an Ali sketch...I think I may actually need more of these books....need some variety :)
At any rate this LO is one of DD in her jumperoo.

Another days worth of pics scrapped!

his LO was for a challenge on Scrapping outback...usually I just hang with my Aussie girls and scrap at the crops but I never seem to get the monthly challenges done. Well this month Julie put up the perfect challenge, with all the Ali Sketches I've been doing I am left with LOs that are 1,2, 3 and even some 4 pic LOs to do so since the sketch was for 3 pics I took advantage of that fact and did up this LO. The little You're a Winner Chipboard piece was from Scrapping Outback that I won during a crop.

Then while I was scrapping in the Outback...I did Jane's challenge- Baby card thank you's with a paper piecing and stamping and some blue.

I'm actually going to see if I can get all the challenges accomplished...that would be something for me! LOL

A quick Layout and something special I did up.

First the quick LO not that it's not special, it is too but you'll see in a minute what I was trying to say...these pics are really old, so I wanted to get them done so I could fill up the gap in DDs first album! There will hopefully be more of these Layouts to come. :) These are two shots of DD with her Daddy on two days that were close together so I scrapped them together.The frame is a My Scrapchick cutting file.

Next up is a project I have been working on on the side, it's one of those things I just had to pick at as I needed tiny pieces, and frankly I'm not convinced it's totally finished there is a square or two I may still add to.
Here we go anyway....This is a? Shadow box? Curio shelf piece. I started by painting it red and then I crackled it...well I don't know why it didn't work so well but since it didn't crackle everywhere I took and sanded back the second coat of black paint to expose the red in spots. I was TOTALLY inspired to get this done when I finally found the Tim Holtz Lost and found papers...it's Exactly what I envisioned it to be in!! I actually have 2 to 3 more of these to do...anyway I'll just show you because the rest speaks for itself.
First the whole piece-


Next is all the close ups for you





The key represents DD holding the key to our hearts and being the "key" to the family we are. (see top with family and the Lock and heart)

Candlestick is representing DD being the light in our lives.
The little spool I hand made for the size I wanted, the spool is a spool album seen here

The colors on the dominoes represent red for DD (our heart) yellow and blue my DH and My favorite colors.

the Present charm opens to reveal a message for my DD

A Double Double Zoo Layout....How Canadian is that? LOL

This LO is actually Two Double Layouts. For you who are not familiar with Tim Horton's of Canada a Double Double is a Coffee Tim H. offers (it's a coffee shop/Donut shop :) )
Anyhoo there are twenty six photos in the Double Double. Oh and as far as the journaling goes...yes it's crooked, somehow it moved when heading through the printer, yes I had paper and I could have re printed it but I thought it looked cool so I left it like that...my motto is "I meant to do that!" There are no accidents, just opportunities don't cha know :) I made the Giraffe PP over the stripes myself by inking a piece of 1/2 inch CS with Tim's Vintage photo and then coloring in the spots and then applying glue and then flocking. It's an Allison Davis sketch again and the word ZOO is courtesy of My Scrapchick it's actually a word book but I shrunk it down.I may go back in and add a couple of embellishments but I might not as I put in the PP instead of CS making it a little busier than without it...still I might ;)
So here is the double double all laid out together

Here's the first Double Layout of "It's a Zoo"

And the second half

Today's upload :)

This is our Halloween LO...I had previously done a one pager with just the pics of DD standing, but I wanted all the photos in one spot so this is it. It's another Allison Davis sketch.
On a side note I have heard people say they like to have there pics printed in a shop versus at home because they are of a better quality. Um Me? Not so much the top right photo I printed off as I needed it to go horizontal not vertical (the original is hiding in the pull out tab as it is a full shot but didn't work with the sketch) At any rate the ones printed out are dark and gloomy compared to the ones I print off so I probably won't be using that store again if any to do my printing, it was my first and possibly last experience with that!
Anyway...here's the LO

One Ali sketch....two Layouts :)

I got two Layouts done with the same sketch they just worked out that way LOL.
First we have a LO of my DD and hubby ...I love the way she was looking at him with so much love in her eyes.

Next is a Layout from Christmas...I didn't take very many photos (bad bad Mommy!) But in my defense I was living in the moment playing with my little gal having a great time- so here it is.

Now I'm cooking with gas!!

LOL I'm going to add a bunch of stuff today. :)Sorry for any weird glare on the pics...they say to take pics outside but that didn't work out to my advantage today at all. (rolling eyes)
First...Please ignore the pics of me and concentrate on DD in the pic....especially wherever you see my white as chalk, chubby legs! LOL
First up...two Ali Davis sketch LOs I got done. Both are with recent pics.
First LO is Beach Baby, Beach Baby, gimme your hand. It's of DD and I at the Beach and her first time in the ocean. We went while Daddy was on vacation. I made my own Background Patterned paper for this one not having anything suitable in my stash!

Next is a LO of DD and I playing at the water park. She takes after me in that she loves the water.


Okay...not Ali related but still rolling with the mojo is a simple fast one... I was inspired by a LO by Jules the bling Princess...Mine is way simpler and not as elaborate believe me...anyway, here is my "Sweet" gal (older pics)

Okay...I'm off to scrap some more after lunch when it's nap time...wish me luck!
