DIY Garden Markers/Labels

Here is a pic of of garden markers/labels that Skyler and I created. (Skyler is the artist.) We also have a pepper label which isn't pictured cuz I need one more chopstick. This year I decided to do something different from our previous years' attempts at making garden labels. I found this plastic placemat at the dollar store and here ya go - - made all of these and have some leftover for more - all for under $1.00. I used Stampin Up punches for the holes and for rounding off the corners and permanent markers for the art. A few already made it through the latest rain - so I think they will last - - maybe even for several years.

I Hope You Dance

Megan Klauer's lo of Chase "Dream big" got me motivated to do this page. I have always wanted to do some sort of page along this line - however, the perfect picture I wanted to use I of course couldn't find. . .but I was almost possessed to get this page done this a.m. so I used this pic instead which I really like too - it shows off Skyler's big blue eyes. If you can't read the words it is just basically the lyrics to I Hope You Dance by LeeAnn Womack.

Here is a page I recently did. Not much to it - but we are on the hunt for our ancestors again and we have quite a few photos from different relatives that cannot be appreciated much when they are in stacks and piles. . .so we'll see how many pages I get done. This is a page of Paul's Great Grandpa Charlie who I had the privilege of getting to know rather well before he passed. Memories are a wonderful thing.

My Hubby

I decided to do 2 different pages for this - one Dad page and one Hubby page. Paul will probably kill me for posting the "muscle" pic. . .but that's ok. :-) I was still trying to just use up papers and embellishments I already had and am starting to get bored with the same old stuff. . .Off to Scrapaganza I went for my "Wood" layout.

Valentine's Day Cards

Here is a pic of the cards I pulled together for Paul and Sky - matching other than the size meant that they were a snap to do.

Megan's Challenge - Week Three

I was planning on doing a Paul & I then and now for these two pages but our "then" pics were so painfully awful or as Skyler would say - ugly - that I couldn't do it. Wow, the early 90's weren't very good to us - especially me, of course. Anywa - this is a pic of me when I was Ginger Hawk.

Here is the only pic in like the last 3 years that was taken of me that I don't mind - and Skyler took it - she posed me and everything - it is from our vacation to Virginia - this was taken in Gettysburg.

Thought I would post a few pics of the "Letter Art" I started doing just shortly before Christmas. I purchase the frames and sometimes paint them and then cut matting to fit the frames and pictures. Then I allow the buyer to choose their favorite letter pictures from many pictures I have personally taken. They also get to choose whether they want black and white or sepia tones. This is something new that I really enjoy - - and I love delivering the framed art because everyone always loves their choices.

Week 2 - Scrap Where You Live

Week 2 - Show Me Your Space

Here is my "Show Me Your Space" layout for week 2 of Megan's challenge.
My scrappin space also happens to be my basket makin' place, my sewin' place and my just about anything I try to do that might be considered crafty space.

Megan's Challenge - Week One

Ok - here is one of my first scrapbook pages. I basically started scrapbooking shortly after having Skyler cuz I wanted to do something other than just sticking photos in an album. . .
