Some new LO's to share....

This was a fun LO i did rather quickly and i love the way it turned out...the whimsey button,the handmade flower it sits on,the clear swirl decorated with dimensional paint and stickles and of course my beading made this so much fun to do!!!!




This LO i did for the CS grey call.Apparently they weren't as enthused with it as i was!!! They didn't pick it up!!!!




I Started the birthday LO by stitching the clown back in march at a crop in Greenhill lake!!!!I finally got around to finishing it and I must say i absolutely love it!!!!

inspiration challenge at APOS!

ok ladies ...my challenge to you this week is to find a beautiful outdoor pic to inspire you but there is a catch ...don't scrap that pic!!! it is for inspiration only!!!! i chose a lovely pic of fall leaves to inspire me . you could choose a pic of the horizon for a linear LO or even architecture to inspire you !!!!!

My inspiration pic....



My LO....

mojo!!!

Have you ever had a time when your scrappy mojo just appeared and you didn't want to stop? I must admit that the last few weeks I have been a scrappy machine!!! The best part of it all is i am loving each and every LO that is getting done !! What a rarity!!! Most times i have a love /hate relationship with my scrapping .Today i took the time to design 2 sketches ..I have never even attempted to do that before ..usually I just scrap or look at someone else's sketches for inspiration!!!!
I will share a new challenge on tuesday with one of my new LO's!!!!

sketch challenge on the Page Maps blog

Yesterday I decided to do a LO and thought about the wonderful sketch I had seen earlier on the page maps blog .It called for a summer theme so I chose to do a pic from my niece's wedding.It took place last August 23rd and I am just getting around to scrapping a few pages .I absolutely love how this turned out!!!!!I spent about 8 hours stitching and beading this one.

a few cards...

I don't really have any new things to post but thought i'd take the time to share a few cards i've made in the past little while ....

Inspiration Challenge!!

Today was my day to issue an inspiration challenge to the girls at APOS!I chose to have them use a memory as an inspiration.There are lots of moments that get missed because we don't have our cameras handy or in my case a mishap at the store where a clerk erased my card and sold me a blank cd!!!!All i was left with was the memory and no pics !!I have never cross stitched on a LO before .I am not a cross stitcher and had to borrow a few books from a co worker but i do love the way it turned out !! I will definately do it more often!!! Be sure to check out jerusha's and valerie's challenges issued today !!!!

My journalling reads...mom,gary and i set out for bangor on october 6 2007.as we were driving down the airline i saw the strangest large birds to which i exclaimed ..what the heck are they? mom thought that was funny.i am such a city chick..i had never seen a wild turkey before!!! let alone a batch of them on the side of the road.gary turned the car around so i could get pics.i chased them through someone's yard and got a few pics.i got them put on cd at shoppers but the clerk sold me a blank cd and wiped out my camera card so all i am left with is the memory of seeing wild turkeys on the side of the road!!!!

winner!!!

ok finty ..one last try !! ...email me at kandcdonovan@hotmail.com .i will draw another name friday if i get no reply!!!!!

just a quick LO

i created this one for a scrapbuilders challenge .i am not really happy with it but we can't love them all. i do however want to remember the cakes !! i enjoyed making cinderella for Emily's 3rd birthday and then i made Ariel for her fourth birthday .i am not really a cake decorator but i was coerced into making dora for her 2nd birthday(what great auntie can say no to a 2 year old?) i just love the floral pin by My Little Bit of Whimsey!!!Stephanie makes the cutest buttons!!!

Flamingos!!!!

I wanted to make a card for my mom and her husband for their anniversay..I chose to play along with a scrapjack hosted by Gisele over at LCOM.The ladies all did a wonderful job with their versions.you can check them out here http://www.letscaptureourmemories.com/forum/index.php?topic=1176.0
I had a bit of a hard time stitching the flamingoos.They are not as easy as most of the stitching patterns are .I just love my results !!!
