Sending you Sunshine doodlecharms card

Here is a quick doodlecharms card - the sun is cut at 3.5 inches.  The paper is from the DCWV citrus stack and Stampin UP!  Stamps are from KAndrews (splash-tastic).  The border punch is Martha, and the button is from Queen & Co.    Thanks for looking!

Picking Apples Scrapbook page

Wow, it's been 10 days since I posted, that's a record for me.  Why?  Because I've been reading a book.  That's why I don't read books, once I start, I can't put it down until I'm finished.  The housework goes undone, kids get away with just about anything, laundry piles up, and I read.  So, it was a good book (Farm City), but today I thought I'd post a new page.  These photos were taken last fall, when both the boys were missing front teeth.  The tree and flourish are from Cindy Loo, the label is from Lacy Labels, the apple from doodlecharms, the A and P are plantain schoolbook (and the rest of the title/journaling I printed).   The paper is from DCWV and SU.  The tree apples blend in a bit with the background paper, but less so in person, and it was really the only color that looked good behind the tree - I tried every color under the sun. 
Yesterday I ran across some photos that are perfect - at least in my head- for some paper I've been hoarding, so hopefully I can get that page done up this weekend too.   I also have a fun little Easter Svg to give away as soon as I can make a card with it...is it too early for Easter?

Thanksgivng cards with Doodlecharms, staight from the nest, joys of the season

I have been a card makin' machine today!  Here are some of the cards I've made.  I used the same basic style so that I could print out the verses and just embellish.  The first was done with the filigree background on Straight from the nest (cut at 4 inch), I spritzed it with homemade gold glitter mist, then tied on a fake leaf with some linen thread.  The second was done with Joys of the Season wreath at 4 inch and the fancy to p wreath is from Lacy Labels (Home, 4 inch).  I could only get that to cut at 4 inch, any smaller and it tore and I wasn't crazy about how big it was on the card, so I only made of few of those.  The last ones were done with the Joys of the season wreath at 3 1/4 and then doodlecharms leaves (1 inch) and Straight from the nest maple leaves (3inch).   If you would like the card base I used, I'm attaching it as a PDF-hopefully that works.  It will print two fronts and two insides per sheet of paper, trim each piece to 4 x 5 1/4, and mount on a standard A2  base.

the COOL tub scrap page

This is an 8x8 page, but the proportions for the sketch are for two 3x6 photos.  The frame is from Lacy Labels(cut at 6.5 inch), the sun if from doodlecharms ( cut at 2 inch, theres one I haven't used in a while!), the flourish is from Cindy Loo (one inch), and the sunglasses are from PaperDolls.  The papers are all Stampin' UP!  The journaling I did on the computer, printed on cardstock, then cut into strips.  The fonts for the title are HOBO std (free) and CAC Pinafore (I paid for that one, but it was worth it!).

Last year our hot tub heater went out at the start of summer, but we didn't fix it until close to fall.  So all summer the boys had the "cool tub" as they called it, to play in.  This year it works fine, but they asked us to turn it way down so they could again have it for the summer.

Thanks for looking, I ordered a new light box so hopefully photos will be better soon.
