Wordless Wednesday - NOT!

I'm too yappy to be wordless. LOL!!! So I went to my LSS yesterday because I had a faulty punch I purchased last week. So I bought some Ranger inks and spritzer bottles. I really need to learn to look which direction the sprayer is going before I cut loose. Since it was raining I couldn't take it outside.

 Careful was not my middle name.

Don't be afraid to scrap your histomatic photos. I love taking them and getting them and my Jill rocks them. She sends me the best stuff. She really needs to have a blog. So Authentique strikes again. Seriously. I now have 2 more colors in my arsenol. So I picked up another punch. It's not my day or time for punches I guess, because I'm heading back to the LSS to return this one. This time the paper ain't coming out of it.

Ever. 

Die Cuts with a View (it's not Authentique). I know you're shocked. Love the baby stuff. So anyway instead of using my the new punch which is now broken, I used my new Tim Holtz sissix die for the lattice work here. I also take iphone photos. The iphone takes great shots and in printing them, I keep them to 3x5 mostly and on 8x8 works perfectly. That little splash of glitter and hole punch leftovers is a jack from Scraphousemama. I love how she uses everything in her aresonal - and why not. You have it. So now I'm attempting to do the same thing and make it look as good as she does.

Another line. I'll give you a minute to get up off the floor. LOL. Creative Imaginations.  So I wanted to break up the pattern on the base paper and I used white paint and a screen like element I pulled off a bag of potatoes. It made the best texture. Red onion bags have something similary.

A close up of the paint texture. Of course I didn't think of taking a photo until AFTER it was all put together. I know you're shocked.

And this is a 4x6 iphone photo and is looking goood. What an adorable face. Babies and after baths smell sooooooo amazing and feel so good. 

So I'm headed back to the scrapbook shop again. I hear they have a new shipment.

Swoon.

Still celebrating......

Annie's first birthday. Getting more photos and looks like a good time was being had by all. She had her on huge vanilla cupcake. Twas a polka dot party and in keeping  wiht the theme Authentique had some polka dotted paper. 

I know you're shocked. 

8x8 

Annie turned One!

Looks like she had an amazing time. A polka dot party. Love it. I'm so glad for modern technology. More pix to come. I love die cut shapes they make me giddy with delight. I'm so easy. This page started in one direction and totally made a u-turn. Love to go where the mojo flows. If you look on the back, I tried to use the KI like a stencial and it totally bombed - in my humble opinion. So I flipped it over and used the other side.

Waste not-want not.

Bazzill, Authentique, KI, Thickers and ribbon from her cousin Lou's shower. 

Yesterday I posted a hub on our travel days 6,7 &8. Please click here.

Finally.....

Got the hub done for days 6, 7 & 8. Wild, fun and scenic ride. You can read about it here. I hope you enjoy our ride and vote up!

You'll also visit Brice Canyon... 

and here's a Wyoming scene. Sigh....

Playing around after the fireworks are over...

So it appears I have a thing going on with Authentique. As I've been cranking out pages I realize that ALL my new papers and stuff are from that line. Breaks my heart. 

NOT. 

So how can you go wrong with 3 adorable kidlets in an adirondak chair. There's a color version - will be done in my book. However, there's one of Amelia and Cavin that has to be done too.

I'm not quite sure what happened with this one. I tried something different. I kept piling on and rearranging and gluing down - something that I don't normally do.

Don't you get tired of the same thing? Laying it all on just right - then taking it off to adhere it and its not just right anymore - so why not fling it on and smack it down there in the first place.

Well that's my result. I've decided I'm not going to dwell on it. Tis done. I kinda like it. maybesortof.

I'm so glad I had nothing liquid in my mouth when this photo was flung across the wireless. It's just too funny and priceless - she has a  plastic fork in her hand. LOL! My money is on the kidlet - she'll get that sweet meat if she wants it. I'm still trying to decide if the lobster is that BIG or Amelia's that TINY. 

Working on the hubs for the remainder of our travels. Tis going sloooowly.

It's Independence Day......

Since it hasn't happened yet, here are some pages I did yesterday. Love the one of Amelia - it makes me swoon. I used some more homemade washi tape to help the Authentique which honestly doesn't need a lot of help. However, good excuse.

Fun pose - those boys always make me smile. And if you'll notice I tilted the photo - gasp*faint*thud. I know you're shocked. More Authentique and I popped out some of the strips. In my head it worked better. lol. Always does.

We are having a lanai soiree with our friends. Tis going to be a blast. 

Thanks to all for their service especially my boy who served with honor.

God bless America.

Together.....

Got some new Nikki Sylvis paper. Love it. Nick and Connor - they look so much alike. Had a lovely day yesterday - hanging and bobbing. 'Twas a nice sunny day, with a bit of breeze. 4th of July is at our house.
