I Will Miss

I saw this post Big Picture to complete a layout using 10 products, 10 techniques and 10 words.

Here is my layout

My 10 techniques are stencil, inking, doodle/outlining, punch, sewing, stamping, embossing, cluster, staple and splatter.

 My 10 products are metal clip, tag, stickers, buttons, paint, ink, flower, chipboard, felt embellies and twine.

My 10 words have to do with what I will miss each time Jen flies back to Phoenix.

I also did this for the Kraft Challenge at Scrap our Stash and the chevron challenge at Frosted Designs.

March Creative Dare

It is time for Tracy's March creative dare! This one was to use song lyrics and buttons!

I love Philip Philips and chose Home for my song. I printed the lyrics on paper which I then modge podged with pattern paper.

MME March Challenge

This month MME posted a challenge to use their die cuts, phrases, journaling cards.

Here is my layout. I love this picture of the kids from Christmas week. They were laughing over something as we decorated the tree. Since they are both out of the house, I treasure these moments when we are together!
