A couple of pages in my Traveler's Notebook

Swapping around pictures and printing 4x6 when I needed
a smaller one - good photo for this book.
So I whacked it in half and lined it up on top of
some tree bark stencil that I have used a lot.
Broke out my quickutz trees and of course
they're yellow - the aspens are gorgeous right now.
Had fun doing this page.

Used a bunch of stash - arrows and those street signs.
Also an arrow stencil for more fun.
Love the chaos.
And baby grandson enjoying his books
and it was fun using TH stencil and love the
alpha font from Sissix - and took the colors from the photo.
OOOOO and washi tape. 
I hardly use washi tape because it usually doesn't end well.

Memories in the Making album- 2 new pages done

I'll chase a bee anywhere.
Butterflies too.
As well as other assorted critters.
I was going to use these photos in my travelogue but
I printed them too small by not paying attention
when automatically clicking print.
I really enjoy trying to make the backgrounds add
something to the page and photo.
And the embellishments.
Swoon.
Love using my stash.
Tim Holtz mostly and mostly older stuff
I tossed the packaging.
Silly me.

Halloween cards


🎃I actually finished the cards for the grands. It started out innocently enough making a card for Ashton and he’s not quite a year. I didn’t want to scare the pants off of him so I found this cute stamp set that I bought on the whim that are LDRS creative stamps and it has cute little dogs so I decided it was cute for him. I thought it was too cutsey for the older ones but changed my mind. . and yes I fussy cut out way more critters than I needed Shockingly my fingers weren’t happy 😆 also, I didn’t make them quite as cookie-cutter as I usually do. Moved the moon around which was fun in changing everthing else up.

ALOT OF FUSSY CUTTING. 
There were 6 dies of the animals so I made 10 of each because
I thought I would need that many for the cards.
Silly me.
However, it was great to have a big selection.
Only count I got right were the bats.
And because the moon was on black paper I used enamel ink.
