The Adventures of Squeaky

Angus got this squeaky toy on Saturday for his puppy classes as a fetch and retrieve toy. It has now lost his squeak but he still loves to play with it.

Be a Light in Me

Today I was inspired by THIS layout today to try and figure out how to take the background out of a photo...so with lots of playing around I did it!

This layout is for the 'Verse' challenge at Scrap of Faith "Let your Light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven"



Using Willro&co Designs 'Bright and Funky', 'Office' and 'Hot Summer' kits.
Also used Krystal Hartley's 'Let your Light Shine' Word Art.

It's Cold! Brrrr!

I am sitting here shivering! It doesn't help when you make a winter layout either...makes you colder just thinking about the cold!

Here is another layout using some elements from Willro&Co 'All Crinkled' kit.

Natasha NaSt 'Old Newspaper Alpha'
The white inking around the layout was done by adding a vignette as shown in one of my previous posts. HERE

Look What Murray Bought Me!

A Cuttlebug for my birthday...cool hey! What a lovely husband I have.


If you don't know what a Cuttlebug does find out more HERE.

The girls have had a wondeful time making cards for their friends. Its the first thing they wanted to do this morning before school..hehehe. They are making gorgeous cards too. I bought 3 Designer Mat Pads by K&Company (4x6") and we are using them as our patterned papers.

And look what I found today!!

A bag for my Cuttlebug!!
I was on the net for AGES last night trying to find a tote or bag to carry my Cuttlebug in and then today I went into Thing-a-me-bobs (our local discount shop) to buy cannisters and found this vanity case for $19.95. It fits perfectly inside and had compartments and pockets for my embossing folders, plates and dies!! YAY! Can you tell how happy I am right now?!
