sending hugs

Hey there!

The blog has been a bit quiet lately.

I have been trying to spend more time with my family in between all of the things that take us away. :)

My son and I recently got back from a trip out to Ontario to visit my Grandpa,

his Great Grandpa, who's 93 no less!!

And since most, actually all, of my family lives far from where I do, I think this new set from Avery Elle will come in very handy for sending quick little notes to keep in touch.

I used the new Sending You set for the sentiment and the little gold heart image, and the Oh Yeah Elle-ments die set to cut out the speech bubble.

  

Stop on by the Avery Elle blog to check out some amazing inspiration from Chunyuan.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful day!

Good morning!

I have something fun to share with you today. 

It's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Avery Elle week!  This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with some of the most popular products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L such as their 3D Foam, E-Z Runners, Adhesive Sheets, etc.  After visiting here, be sure to check out the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog for even more inspiration using both companies products!  Don't forget to comment on the blogs throughout to week to be entered to win a fabulous prize!

For my project today I used some watercolours, Avery's alpha dies and some fabulous Scrapbook adhesives foam squares. They are honestly the ones I use ALL the time. :)

Hello!!

Things around here have been pretty busy lately, 

but last week we carved out a little time for some family photos.

It was so much fun to do, that I felt the need to do something special with some of the photos.

I made a scrap page!! 

This is a first for me, I picked the photos, the paper, and came up with the layout all by myself, no workshop, nothing.

I never seem to be able to focus enough to do an entire layout.

This new fabulous set from Avery Elle, 

#smile seemed like just the right thing to use.

Now, please excuse the terrible pic. 

I have no clue how to photograph a layout, I've never done it before!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
